Wonder if kelvin goes home tonight and opens the front door and is puzzled why the carpets in his house are dry when it’s been raining all day

One thing you can credit Jack Holder on is his team riding. No messing about no wanting to be the main man just makes sure the job gets done.

Funny how I supposedly hate Poole yet I spent the afternoon with Matt Ford and his wife here in France.

Brady Kurtz best rider in the world at the moment.

Shouldn't really be making comments about the Lawson situation, it says he on compassionate leave not paternity leave

Looking forward to this and hoping the tie will still be alive after the first leg. As a Lions fan I have a feeling that Dan T could haunt us now that he is back in a reserve berth. With no TS options available, he could still have seven rides if he’s on form. Couple this with the fact that his brother Joe, based on current form, may not beat an opponent home or away, which may give the Witches the edge. Hope I’m wrong but it looks like we will be carrying Joe again which makes Ipswich slight favourites in my opinion.

Recorded meeting on TNT and had caught up to the last race and the recording cut off just as the riders left the pits🤬

Can this now be an end to this dreadful competition.

The best rider in the world gets his just desserts for a great season...... And Jack Holder's team riding is top class...

Let's wait until tickets go on sale shall we... especially after Cardiff

Leon's look re Nicki P's gate choices just said WTF!!!!

Dive!!!!!!!!!

Kelvin: If my maths is correct…. It'll be a first if it is!

I really don't know why the Czechs keep bothering with Milik, they're out of it and Bubba is clearly the future... so get him in!!

Wish they would show the teams total in corner of screen in every race

Despite having team Kevlars I thought it was good to see race jackets with the flag of the country on, thought it looked very traditional and I am a fan of team Kevlars

They are not bad riders,they were just outclassed.Speedway in Europe is a different ballgame to GB at that level.

Deserved to be world champion, no doubt in my mind

100% agree, they had a game plan about team riding and it worked, didn’t break each others line or ride like individuals which was the downfall of other teams! Deserved it totally!

did MJJ think they were going to race him...🤣

The front angle was didnt show that, it shows madsen hitting dudek, I agree dudek does lean on him but madsen does hit him, it was correct decision

Madsen didn’t move out off the inside line did he? What else was he supposed to do there? Harsh

Zmarzy should have gone in that one 🚨

It's funny because it was brilliant last year 🇬🇧🥇

I think Dan always felt he could get round by using the dirt so didn't lock up and try and undercut.... A proper racer.... A shame as GB finally looked capable of a podium... BZ on his 650 wins the re run...

That's unlucky. Correct decision but unlucky the bike caught the dirt like that.

Can someone explain to kelvin the concept of a roof over the track

It's instead of taking a fisherman's friend

I think the track needs watering. Is Phil there?

Why stage it then?

True but it is a valid reason in my opinion, cant see us getting through with Ellis especially as his father hates Poole almost as much as you do!!

Did I dream it or did Sheffield get a facility for Jack Holder for family reasons earlier in the season?

Lambert to fluff it tonight with no back up for Bewley. Won’t even get bronze medal.

For me the concern is not what it says on the hat (before I put my specs on I read it as 'f***ing pervert') - but the fact that it suggests the broadcaster care so little about the product that they are leaving the production to the youth experience kid.

Link for today

Riders just want/need bike time. The Ippo preview says they are aware a few of their riders have other matches elsewhere. Seem OK with that.

Indeed he did. He also said "nothing teaches you like riding abroad & getting a hiding", GB guys rode as well as they could, got a good heat win in their last ride, will defo learn from the experience & so do better next time. Regarding Lambert apparently not recognising PC, Ivan once made an unannounced & unintroduced visit to the Hull pits, Craven Park era 2000 or so, after talking to all the riders one was heard to remark "who was that bloke & what does he know about speedway ?!". As it happens, Ivan knew quite a bit about speedway😉....

No it's not. The rider himself confirmed on BSN it's pronouced how it's spelt. I think he might know better than you do!

Effectively 11 from 4 as he had 2 machinery failures!!

No but he did the right thing by getting to the front ….. if he stayed second and the rider at the back had an engine failure then Denmark would have still lost …. By being at the front he would have got Denmark through if Zmarzlik or Dudek packed up

An UFO appears over Torun and beams Bartek up, and then Dudek spontaneously combusts.

Does anyone know who is in what position. Am I missing something?

And they want to use an even bigger stadium next year Warsaw

Because Polish sponsors pay more than other countries most probably… you could say why did Manchester stage it? They didn’t exactly get 15,000 either did they? They would have never filled this stadium 😂 Also, only stupid English people pay £150 for a ticket. Poles don’t want to even pay £40-90 for this event. But Britain is starved of top riders so people pay it. If you saw Ekstraliga every other week would you have paid £150 for Manchester?

Again another poor crowd especially for a final

Not many got near Thompson to be fair.It put some of his Teammates to shame. IMO

I have a plan around that very basic Idea but it has a lot more detail and and overcomes a lot of the issues that arise from the concept of outsourcing the equipment from the riders,I have spent a few months working on it, talking to some people in the sport who understand the workings of the concept, I am planning to float it on a podcast soon but I’m sceptical it will fly not because it’s a bad idea but because to get anything going in speedway someone has to be making money from it

I do think it’s a bit odd though that in the event of a tie there will be a runoff with the top scoring individual from each team, rather than it being team based still. Perhaps to cover the possibility of a three or four way tie though.

Pity Masters wasn’t available. Ellis can often go missing on big occasions, let’s hope I’m proved wrong but not confident.
