Peter Craven Memorial Trophy - Monday 18th March.

Re the Celina issue - nothing new under the sun -  the 1970 Internationale at Wimbledon featured, for the first time in British speedway, a Japanese rider Jimmy Ogisu ahead of more worthy riders purely because of the novelty aspect.

He wasn't expected to make much of an impression and didn't, scoring just a single point.

I'm not suggesting that Celina is a novelty but you get my drift.

I wish Celina well and hopes she bags a good few points.

Could well be a tad out of her depth in this meeting, but won't know if she don't try.  Nutshell she is is (mostly) 'just another rider' with a head, 2 arms, 2 legs with a (broadly) similar motorcycle to the rest of the field / league and the 'proof of the pudding' will be when she is actually on-track v the rest.  You can't hide in modern speedway, everyone's scores are available for the world to view & discuss, if not instantly, then very quickly.  An interesting addition to the British League for sure, good luck to her....

got to be another woman riding to try equal up the diversity and inclusivity 

[Phil The Ace 2,860]

Conor Bailey and Harris last 2 announced. 
 

took a bit of a nose dive the line up. 
 

hopefully the last rider announced is a good one 

[Phil The Ace 2,860]

NKI completes the line up. 
 

LINE-UP: Fredrik Lindgren, Max Fricke, Dan Bewley, Luke Becker, Brady Kurtz, Jaimon Lidsey, Jason Doyle, Celina Liebmann, Connor Mountain, Norick Blodorn, Robert Lambert, Maciej Janowski. Connor Bailey, Ben Cook, Chris Harris, Niels-Kristian Iversen.

 

not really a premium line up as it’s stated with the rise in prices. But a decent line up. 

[Arch Stanton 2,255]

Looks a cracking line up to me Phil. If I wasn’t working I’d have definitely made the effort for this.

£14.99 for a stream online is absolutely scandalous in my opinion and will put quite a few off I would have thought!
