People moaning about 21,000. We got 9000 at Belle Vue for the SWC

Philip Rising said wild cards and venues to be announced straight after Melbourne GP. Not happened yet but cant be long.

Read my reply about preferred finishing order. If Hancock had retired then Holder would gain zero benefit.

He couldn't retire in the race as the perfect result was 3pts Holder 2pts Hancock then 1pt or 0pts Zmarzsik. By pulling out with a bike failure it didn't help Holder.

Interesting to read this rule. Its flawed as in the case of Hancock there are no more 2016 meetings from which to ban him. That needs looking at and maybe a punishment should be carried over to the following season. He has no excuse for walking out the meeting. It denied the paying public, he did not ride a heat against Woffy, Janowski or Iversen, so his actions had a direct barring on the podium and top 8. Rubbish. He let Holder go past on the first bend of Lap 4. There was no chance of Zagar & Zmartzik also getting past. When Holder went past Hancock immediately quickened his own pace again. They were side by side down the back straight. He did NOT go wide on the last bend of Lap 4, he was very close to Holder, which blocked the two other riders. It also makes his statement (worried about losing a chain & crashing into another rider) total garbage.

check what K.Hansen said. Complete opposite.

To get to the top you cant be nice all the time so I've no problem with him showing a nastier side from time to time. Trouble is his many fans seem to think the sun shines etc.

If Zagar gets a card then Magic must get one. Same points and won a GP.

if the equipment showed a fault in his first heat, got worse in the 2nd heat, why didn't his team change the part, repair it or use another bike if a repair could not be made. Why would a rider who sounds so scared to ride a bike thats not 100% go out on a bike that isn't knowingly 100%. I smell a rat

Good result. Should put a few more Aussie bums on seats in 2017. Congratulations to Greg for giving Holder a vital point.

Unfair on Zagar if he misses out by 1pt and no wild card.

ha ha. he is the undefeated undisputed world champ. Cant work out how he can defend Hancock

Good stuff from Scott Nicholls and Natalie. No fence sitting but doing it in a constructive way.

Lindgren threw heat 16. Appeal by Bjerre team must follow.

Hope he gets a ban. Maybe for 3 GP's next season.

Care about being called a cheat. Squeaky clean image ruined. I'd worry about it.

I hear what you say but Hancock threw the race to help a team mate. Clearly pre arranged Monster tactics. Penalise them both.

and a cheat who throws races.

Hancock gets 2pts deducted for throwing a race. Disgraceful. How can Holder be given 3pts when he didn't earn them. Really bad for the sport.

Are you watching the same meeting as everyone else. Loads of passing and close racing in the opening 4 heats.

If we have Cook, Bomber, Scotty etc doubling up it can only add to the sport and gates.

As much as I have zero enthusiasm for Bjerre you are right about him doing things the right way. If Fred gets top 8 it will be the complete opposite to what you say with wildcards. I like Lindgren but hope he scores 0 in Melbourne so we don't get Bjerre. So many permutations but Zagar could finish 9th and not get a wild card. That would be very harsh. We will see Bjerre at some stage as a rider always gets an injury during a season. .

Each rider is different. Hancock isn't squeaky clean as he makes a few hard moves. Thats speedway. Hard moves should be part of the sport.

excellent work

If Woffinden got abuse about his father he had every right to say and do what he did. Good on him for making a stand on unacceptable fan abuse. 99.99% of fans are decent but there will always be some fool who can't stop himself being an idiot.
