Agree,never like to see riders injured,but Batchelor clearly faked an old injury getting him out of the Kings Lynn meeting,but racing for Swindon the next night,and then at Leicester on TV.It now looks hes got a legit injury but how are fans supposed to react?!!

Jason Doyle £80 less Thanks

Lindback £40 more please

Doyle £40 less please

Holder £50 more please

Like others have said,thanks for running this comp again RR.No AJ this year so maybe i can pick another poor sod to carry the weight of my bets this season!!!! will try Zagar £50 more Thanks

BUT.................Did the track doc know? Surely if the doc got wind of the situation Eddie would have been the subject a few tests to pass him fit to ride.You cant just leave it up to the rider,can you imagine if Eddie came off or knocked someon else off!! I can see the headlines now in the national press!! Also why take 4 rides? somethings wrong,or someone knew and did nothing to stop the rider riding a motorbike at 60mph.

When Craig Boyce landed that punch on Gollob,sky covered every minute of it,even with craig talking to the ref. When Martin Dugard flawed Stefan Andersen,sky were right there,including beforehand ,when Bob Dugard was having a go at various people.The late great Tony Millard loved every moment of it,putting his own spin on events.I just hope sky havnt told Pearson and co that they cant talk about various flashpoints that come up during a meeting.That would really kill speedway. ps....PS Anyone know how i can get in touch with Kelvin Mullarkey to ask his view on Speedway today?!!!!!

You summed up brilliantly what happened in that race UNTIL the final bit!!! You are correct Lingren did use Zagar to make Cook stranded in the middle of the Sandwich,it was a class move to shut the door on what he had to do.Cook was stranded in no mans land and Lingren made the move work.Super and vital at the time.

Great meeting,had everything,Just out of interest did anyone else think the league trophy had already been given to Wolves before the second leg as it clearly had Yellow and black ribbons on from the start?!! Wonder if Tai is setting a new trend for 2017.Teams just turn up with 3 bikes and engines and use the leftover new tyres to race on new edges come the end of the meeting!! Star of the evening for me was Freddie Lingren-Tonight was hard but fair racing,and the race with craig cook was just class racing when cook left the door open,what to people want in speedway,just shut off and say"after you sir" or use track craft and pass a rider when he has a chance to do so.Thats what makes speedway races like that.

Ryan Douglas jack ALLan Michael palm Toff Josh Bates JACK Holder Charles Wright Jason Doyle Patrick Hougaard Adam Ellis These 9 not in any order

As a neutral i really can see this being close.If Freddie is fired up and puts himself about, i really can see a shock on the cards.He alone needs and can shake the Poole riders up,and if he does then anythings possible.

Thanks for trying to get my brain out of trouble Dabdelion,but unfort i did post on the wrong thread!!! Maybe i was thinking his family had a Mexican takeaway in the area,but now i trying to find my own excuse!!!

Looks like AJ had a practice on sunday evening according to his swedish clubs website.The article which was posted today the 26th went on to say AJ "woke up a little sore on monday ".Looks like he will ride on Tuesday,

Who owns Niki Pedersen? If he doesnt ride in the Gps next year and wants to come back to british speedway,what will his average be?

A couple of things from last night; 1 It may seem minor but the confusion in betting circles that Zagar finished 3rd in heat 1 ,but was confirmed on screen that worell was 3rd,and also carried on speedway updates.Surely in this day and age the betting companies need to have a 100% official correct result from heats .There is so much you can bet on in speedway,in running with riders scores etc,you just cant afford to put the wrong result up on screen to be backed up but what is normally a very good updates service.IT was clearly wrong,and a lot of confusion set in. 2 How lewis Bidgers helmets passed the referee check is just stupid.Again its just confusing to the new fan that his helmets had yellow peak followed by the colour of helmet.People will say this is just a minor issue but again its causing confusion when there doesnt need to be any confusion. Anyway rant over

I understand your comment,but it must be hard for the Coventry team when they see the line up for heat 1,NKI must of thought xmas had come early with the line up that faced him.Surely the powers that be must put down rules next season where you have to replace a number 1 with an adequate replacement or the match is off.It has to be as serveere as that because there has to be a limit as to the sort of team you can put out.Its not on for the fans,and it does nothing for speedway in general when there is no reasonable replacement for your Number 1.It mabe not coventrys fault but something has to be done.

EVERY year matt Ford gets stick,BUT EVERY year he comes up trumps for putting the work in to explore all avenues,and get the best possible results for Poole.It would be nice from a neutrals point of view to see other clubs doing the same,it cant be a fluke that they do it EVERY year.

Craig Cook is clearly in the Auty camp when asked about Tungate chasing him !! "When you are a 4.5 midget weighing next to nothing what do you expect!! Anyone know why Bridger made the long trip to Belle vue? As for pearson and Tatum,if they could actually tone it done just a bit,so the smoke didnt come out of my tv speakers it would help!!! I actually went into my garden after the match to try and recreate the decibels of Pearsons voice,i just couldnt do it!!.Seriously people on this forum go and try shouting exact words from a pearson sentance,it just impossible without embarassing yourself with the neighbours ,or just getting a sore throat!!.how does he do it and carry on the next day?!!

Just wondered how Lakeside have been allowed to have a "squad system" this year?!!! Dont get me wrong i like the idea ,but clubs with large asset based riders like Poole,surely it would be in there best interests to declare a list of squad riders,or have i lost my marbles and missed something!!!!?

" You took the words right out of my mouth, I was just going to say that nige!!" "Good job the rider off gate 3 cant see those stats!!"

Thing that gets me is that in the uk chris can beat anyone at any track,but on his travels he just doesnt seem to mix it with the top guys,so maybe it might be down to travel arrangements,but most importantly mind set.Does he approach a GP in the right frame of mind? Ive seen Chris punch the air with delight thats hes actually won a GP heat!!! In my mind its nothing to do with anything else other then being prepared correctly and beleif and focus about dropping the clutch at the right time.On a side note does anyone know if Chris uses he uk bikes for GPs or are they the ones he uses in Europe?

Did i just hear Rosco say "special mention for the track man tonight,we have gave him stick in the past,but tonight he got the track spot on!!!!!!!" Just somes up speedway,they havnt got a clue how to take this sport forward for everyone to enjoy.

Anyone see the video footage of heat 13 on the scb website? Thanks very much for uploading but the second freeze frame was knowhere near the line .Is there anychance of stopping that angle right on the line? But thanks for allowing us to see the race anyway.

Could Kings Lynn have recaledl Mads for tonight if he was interested in answeing an SOS call?
