Meeting proper at 3pm UK time

This GP is rapidly becoming a bit of a farce!!

No wildcard named and as far as i can see Eurosport and Discovery + have completely forgotten about this GP as i can’t find any coverage on any schedules !!!

Probably was going to lebedev but he will take the place of Jack Holder, not sure who is the next best Latvian.

Gusts surely.

I've had problems finding upcoming meetings in the Discovery+ schedules. However if you go to All Sports and select speedway, upcoming meetings are shown:

Monday 7/8 19:30 - 22:00 Peterborough vs KL [nearly right]

Friday 11/8 15:50 - 18:30 Speedway of Nations - Riga [a bit confusing although there is a similar calendar date on the FIM website SON section]

Saturday 12/8 08:55 - 10:15 Riga Qualifying

Saturday 12/8 14:30 - 18:15 Riga Race [GP?]

Monday 14/8 19:00 - 22:00 British Premiership Day 10 [British Final]

Discovery+ App is showing qualifying available live from 8:55 to 10:15 and the meeting from 14:30 to 18:15.

Also has SoN listed for the day before between 15:50 and 18:30. Presumably that is SoN2?

Edit - False dawn beat me to it!

Friday 11/8 is the SON2 U21 Speedway of Nations, Poland are, of course, the reigning champs.

Doesn't look like this is live on eurosport but being shown in the evening instead . It seems to be only live on discovery +.

Does anybody know which seven nations will take part in the SON2 on Friday?
