racers and royals

Philip, had a great time in Copenhagen as always-but one thing left a bad taste in my mouth. The robbing Parken stadium Danish Ba**ards. The programme clearly had a cover price of 100 Danish Kroner(nearly £12-a disgraceful price) but could you buy one for that-NO you had to pay 110 and get a free pen. I took 3 pens with me-they have done it before but this year really pi**ed me off.

Sunday evenings magazine programme with Greg Hancock as a guest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9J_7GeSBTk&list=UUWMqEj3-1TXYlaGQppBGtbg Sunday`s match Czestochowa v Tarnow here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8SMcF12S_w&list=UUWMqEj3-1TXYlaGQppBGtbg

Interesting stats-but that might not tell the full story-it would be interesting to know the ratio of 1st 2nd 3rd 4th gate picks respectively between the two of them.

Yes just the winner goes further-other 2 teams are Germany and Slovenia start time of the meeting is 8 pm uk time.

I know that Italy and Russia are 2 of the teams and the Russians seem still to have problems-having named this quartet 1. Andriej Kudriaszow 2. Witalij Biełousow 3. Denis Gizatullin 4. Renat Gafurow (kapitan)

To add a bit of interest to the 4 Eurosport televised finals R & R bookmakers invite you too take part in this competition. Each contestant is given £200 to bet with-if the money goes you are out of the comp. A bet MUST be placed in each of the four rounds min bet £20 per round-min bet per rider £10 NO maximum bet limit. You must bet on a rider scoring LESS or MORE than the spread shown below. to bet more you take the HIGHER figure and to bet LESS the lower. Example Pedersen is 11 - 13 you place £50 on higher-and he scores 16 so you win 16-13 = 3 x £50 =£150 However if he scored 9 you would lose 13-9 =4 x £50 = £200. another example Gollob is 8 - 10 and you place £50 on Less. he scores 6 so you win 8 - 6 =2 x £50=£100. however if he scored 14 you would lose 14-8=6 x£50 = £300 There are 20 heats heat 21 does NOT carry points and then heat 22 is the point scoring final-max score on the night 18. SEC 1ST round Sunday 6th July Gustrow start time 5.30 pm uk time Pedersen 11 - 13 Vaculik 11 - 13 Sayfutdinov 11 - 13 Kolodziej 10 - 12 Gollob 8 - 10 Jonsson 7 - 9 Kildemand 7 - 9 Smolinski 7 - 9 Dudek 6 - 8 Larsen 6 - 8 Miedzinski 6 - 8 Pavlic 5 - 7 Lebedevs 5 - 7 Davidsson 4 - 6 Hefenbrock 3 - 5 Bogdanovs 3 - 5 No winning prize only the addition to the CV of "winner 2014 SEC bash the bookie" All bets can be edited prior to meeting start time-if a rider does not take part that part of the bet is void unless edited. If a rider starts the meeting and is injured and has to withdraw the bet STANDS however any points scored by the reserves are included in the injured rider`s score, If a rider is excluded for a starting offence any points scored by the reserve do not count.

Looks as if Maksims Bogdanovs has replaced Grigorij Laguta.
