Well, Iâm in the centre of Manchester less than 3 miles from the stadium. Minimal rain forecast and track should be entirely raceable. This is a purpose built track with drainage based on Manchester weather so I doubt a few spots will cause any problems. Even last nightâs heavy shower only proved insurmountable for one riderâŚ.

How has the rain been overnight in Manchester, it was bucketing down between Crewe & Stoke on the way home last night. Zmarzlik is a pleasure to watch, it would just be nice to see someone else with the World Title. Zmarzlik hasn't actually won a GP since NSS round 2 last year. 8 GP's without a win.

I donât see the problem with it, there was no cheers when he crashed, maybe some ooohâs and gasps but absolutely no cheers. But he was up and walking back to pits and when was excluded there was lot of cheers. Probably multi reasons, UK fans supporting Kurtz/Holder/Fricke. Some people liking to see something different from BZ dominating, also a lot of noisy Poles in crowd and a reaction to them.

Maybe not, but still circa seven figures in takings isn't too shabby for a sport with such a small following.... In other news... There cannot be many better places to watch Speedway racing than the entrance to bend three at the NSS.... The speed they hit it, and your close proximity to the racing, means you can truly appreciate the talents and reactions of these lads... So many races are won and lost at that turn, either by a dive bomb or the outside rider cutting off the rider flying up the inside... Brilliant to see... They should put a lower down camera there..

Just watched the Woryna crash and to be fair to him, Madsen did lock up slightly in front and drop speed... Obviously I much prefer to watch riders who can just gate, and win races on smooth, slick tracks, and are quite happy to ride around at the back, with zero intention to pass anyone, when they don't make the start in front... They are the real "box office riders"....
