Doesn't matter if he's injured, taking a break or been dropped for poor form, he's not in a teams 1-7. There was no 28 day signing due to injury, both teams have replaced him. Lynn may want him back, doubt Glasgow would. Anyway, I reckon Nora racing to help him regain confidence / learn how to ride in close contact without shutting off, would be best for him.

But that’s his problem for not performing not the sports. Can’t expect the governing body to feel sorry for him and give him an average reduction and big cuddle telling him everything will be okay.

Kurtz missed the meeting after the GP he got injured in.He made his comeback Friday which is fine,now if he doesn't turn up for the Lynn meeting on Monday that is not fine.But he hasn't really done anything wrong yet.

It's on the Berwick site so it must be true.😁

I must admit, when I started watching Polish Speedway, and saw the levels of racing and crowds, I thought exactly the same.. And then you watched a meeting from over here on a Monday, and quickly realised that sadly, the only comparison you could make is that both are called Speedway... It could actually even be deemed almost unfair to the UK Promoters to show Polish Speedway over here, given the expectations it could create... Great to watch every Friday and Sunday... Add in a GP on a Saturday and its truly a cracking weekend...

No because Kvech crashed and tried to complete the meeting but couldn’t … tried to race today and clearly can’t ride properly Kurtz crashed … carried on … one a race and almost won the final….. pulled a sickie on the Thursday … only to ride Friday and get a maximum and then win the GP on Saturday Kurtz could have easily rode Thursday he just didn’t fancy it

it's @ouch he's completely effing lost it! 😵‍💫

Thomsens exclusion was probably the worst decision I have ever seen...

I do have an agenda and that agenda is British Speedway, if riders want to come from abroad and live here and build a career, great! They shouldn't then be picking and choosing the meetings they ride in at the expense of British Speedway. Speedway is on a knife edge in this country at the moment, we're not in the Peter Collins/Kenny Carter era when punters would turn up pretty much regardless of who was or wasn't riding, in fact you maybe able to point to the personal antics of riders through the years as one of the main diminishing factors in British Speedway and it continues to this day... and it should be stopped. I really couldn't care what riders do elsewhere, I follow British Speedway, I follow Leicester Lions and that is where I spend my money following this club home and away and I expect when I hand my £23 over at the turnstile to see the rider who I watched only 5 days earlier lift a 2nd place trophy in the SGP, completing all of his rides after his off. I don't expect him to be missing and then turning up abroad the very next night and reeling off a 12 point maximum and then only dropping 3 points at the very highest level the next night. I'm not going to rake up what happened last year, that's been done to death... but he did effectively receive an ultimatum from the SCB... who have been strangely quiet on most issues this year. If you finish your full rides in one meeting unless you sustain a non-Speedway related injury then you should be expected to be competing in your next scheduled meeting. It's a real shame that you should choose to sign off your comments with insults, I thought you were better than that, "a disgusting speedway fan and a disgraceful human being" and a troll wow! I actually felt a bit sorry for you when a section of Ippo fans were giving you abuse earlier in the year, I'm inclined to agree with them now. I hope you enjoy your world travels following Brady Kurtz when British Speedway has failed.

Well the rain unfortunately came about 90 minutes before tapes up and at one time was pretty heavy. All the weather updates gave it to pass over by about 2-45 pm and so it proved.The rain actually helped the track condition and the forecasted timing will have been in Steve Lawsons thinking when he was carrying out his pre meeting track watering regimen. Must admit I was a bit surprised when we got dust around heat 7. It was great to see the Comets finally get their league campaign underway on what must be some kind of record late start date in recent seasons. It was a good solid performance from all the Comets which was encouraging. Special thanks should go to Jonatan Grahn who changed his flight to Poland in order to guest for us in the absence of Fraser, he pulled off a couple of eye catching wins in his tally of 8 points. It was rewarding to see Tate win his first race at the GT Tyres Arena in 2025 ! almost unbelievable when you consider the form he produced there in the early part of last season prior to him crashing at Belle Vue. Hope we see his full confidence return now and he can start thrilling us all again like he did last season, go Tate . Also really pleased for Jacob Hook who achieved his best score to date in British Speedway, he gave his best in every race and deserved his reward. With the possible exception of Lasse Fredriksen the Gladiators were very much a one man team yesterday. Nicolai Klindt was different class . I think that has to be the most dominant display with the possible exception of Dan Bewley in last seasons Ben Fund meeting that I have witnessed at the GT Tyres Arena. Not many riders have ridden turns 3 and 4 so wide with so much speed and control !. He was obviously enjoying himself on a track where he could display his supreme motorcycle skills in complete confidence. UTC!

How do you get a doctor anytime!!!

A great day of entertaining speedway from Poland and that last race with Fricke topped it off, great ride. Thanks to all the riders who gave so much today.

Just bought two new internal doors... On Jacob Jamrog's recommendation....

Hagon & Hume back up the top 3 well 2 last night and my prediction is spot on 😜

Conspiracy theory of Ouch in hope rather than any evidence as usual

Why blame the fact that she is female for a decision like that? Do you think that every female watching that thought that Thomsen was at fault?

Rarely agree with Blobby but he is bang on this time. Why should Boughen be giving special treatment? From all accounts a pain in the arse in the pits coupled with a huge ego. Hes had a few knocks and now realises he isn't anywhere near as good as he thinks he is. Been many brits with far better attitudes down the years who have lost out due to averages and rules.

The thing with Tai is,he does it on purpose.Im sure nobody cares when it is the heat of the moment stuff,like Thomsen last night.

And you think Poland don’t have issues with money? Yet they still come to Manchester which is a much more expensive trip than English people to travel to Poland. English people find money to go on holidays and football matches and even Manchester GP so if they really wanted to they could save and go. Enough* said.

It mystifies me that fans on here can post endlessly in the name of British Speedway about Brady when he has done no wrong yet are happy for their local club to put on regular gate’n’go speedway that has a far greater negative impact on the sport and they say nothing.

It was the one against..... Errrr, hang on a moment... It was the one against, errrr, no, no, no, it wasn't that one... It was, it was, it was, ahaaa! the one against, errr no not that one either... Never mind it doesnt matter... HE BLOODY SHOULD NOT BE INJURED AND MISS SPEEDWAY MEETINGS!!! WAH! WAH! WAH!

I heard he's pulled out with a hangover 😂

Wasn't a good performance from him last night to be fair to Fromafar. Probably passed more times last night than all other matches he's raced at Berwick combined. If he was his usual self then Berwick would have most probably lost.

Well done to Bandits,well deserved and some very good racing.Simon Lambert summed the track up perfectly ( it’s a man’s track).IMO Danny just tried to race Drew into 3rd/4th bend and had to pull it back and just lost the back-end.Interesting Riss said the track was going to be graded,but they did not do it before re-run of race. Bandits got stuck in and deserved the win with some fearless riding.Entertaining meeting IMO. I admire Gavin Parr for his honesty during meetings,no excuses from him.

Just watched it back after GP, good match, decent watch, well done bandits

Come back Ashton we were only joking.

Brilliant from Fricke.... Flying at the moment.... Another excellent meeting....

Do we really want to know if you were circumcised. Keep your Bellend to yourself.

But he clearly wasn’t hurt that bad if at all, he got up and nearly won that night… then scored a max on Friday, then won the Gorzow GP Saturday 🤷🏻‍♂️ Jan is clearly hurt, it’s visibly obvious

Funny that. I’m sure I just seen kvech race after his fall

Yeah. I have seen. Must be because the aces fans are praying every night for it, there’s certainly been a reduction in viagra sales locally

And yes I know he fell, and yes I know he’s genuinely injured. And I’m fine with it. But so was Brady but them lot that you dont like seem to have forgot about Brady’s crashes to

Jonatan Grahn, Indianerna 18. Christofer Selvin, Vargarna. Technically rider represent the club they are registered with but it's easier for you if I put the team namnes in instead.

If he was good enough, he'd be scoring points, no points equals no Team place, that's Pro Speedway. The answer is simple, go score some points, not in Amateur racing, but against the Riders you're supposed to be beating, but i think the biggest problem is, he's not as good as people have told him he is.

The sicknote is for & approved by British Speedway only. Available everywhere else. Nothing to see here.............

Even if Bowes is due to miss a lot of matches riding in Poland, I wouldn't be in a rush to replace him, they're probably stronger when he's not there. Get a 5.00 guest when he's averaging below that or r/r of Zischke Etheridge & 2 rides from Hook / Foord. Also the longer it takes him to get a new average, the longer Hook stays at reserve, which benefits the team. Speedway can be a strange sport when injuries / missing riders can strengthen a team and there can be no advantage to making replacements when a rider is out for the season.

To be honest mate many people dont even go to their local tracks anymore let alone ones abroad i can remember 4- 5 figure attendences for all tracks at one time, couldnt believe it when one estimate at Birmingham reckoned about 500 well short of semi pro football clubs, the decline is really sad speedway at Premiership level especially is hanging by a thread. Be interesting to look at British speedway in the sixties and seventies and how it slowly declined to what we have today and compare it to where Poland was then and what it has become today.

Get off your high horse ffs. Riss is nowhere near the rider he was before his injury and thats all Fromafar was saying. Forget the premiership, he is riding in a team of rubbish that are either past it or not giving a toss.

i went last year to Poznan, then on to zielonagora enjoyed both experiences, did remind me of the old days in uk. great atmosphere at both zielonagora v leszno was very full. making another trip this year

I watched the GP late on and replayed his phone performance a few times, it took me a few views and the the TV volume on max to work out that he'd called her an effing c. I'm now officially offended to hear language like that on a family show. 😂

Nobody is knocking Kurtz as a rider … fair to say he has stepped up a level this season But to ride on in the GP last week…. Then miss Thursday only to get a maximum then win the GP is early taking the mickey out of his UK club No way he will pull out Monday he will be there for a hero’s reception on a track he rides well

Job done again today, no points gained by Kurtz

Turnbull pulls howlers for fun and has added another to her lengthy repertoire. DEI in all its shameful glory. 🤬

Because she is consistently useless... And is hidden from criticism due to gender politics... The list of dreadful decisions, (with TV reviews available) is growing, and truly staggeringly bad...

Nope...

Surely the FIM must look at her previous. Her decision there, shows she should be no where near a GP!!! Nearly cost Bewley a race win. The woman is an an embarrassment to the sport.

Totally agree and some meetings are no better in Poland but the difference is the support, the stadia and the enthusiasm of all involved which is at another level compared to UK. Yes many many years back that following did exist in the UK but those days have long gone due mainly to mismanagement of the sport. It will never reach the heights of Poland but at least it is something to aspire too.

I personally think speedway is not for him. Too close contact puts him off.
