My spies tell me that Jack is back for one last "speedway swansong" in Sunday`s SEC 1st round live from Gustrow Germany.So the Jack and Sam show is back on the road(not to Gustrow obviously)

I will have to watch 1st few heats on a stream-what time is the programme starting in Europe 18.30 ??

It`s looking likely that us TV viewers will not be seeing the complete meeting on Eurosport. 1st race is scheduled for 19.00 local time 18.00 uk time -with Eurosport not starting their programme until 6.30 pm-live world rallycross /showjumping on before then.

I`m not going to mess around £200 Sayfutdinov less

Really enjoyed tonight`s match-Dave Rowe is bringing out the best in Sam-asking him questions where his expertise can come into play.

All 3 matches postponed on Sunday have been re-scheduled for Sunday 13th July(rush for the GP boys after Cardiff) Gorzow v Torun is live on TV start time 4.30 pm uk time.

Told you !!! get in my boy !!!!

Yes I am and despite the last place, he showed enough promise to get on the scoreboard in his next ride.

This one might be a possibility. http://www.stadiumguide.com/nrgipark/

I knew someone would say that-you are of course correct-however sadly I just have to have one. Every GP at the end of the 20 heats I must work out who goes in which semi and in which pick order. I have ingrained in my brain 1467 1st semi 2358 2nd semi(some programmes don`t say it) yes I probably have some condition or other but that`s me

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.

Early team news for Wednesday.-should be a good match. Fjelsted 1. Peter Kildemand 2. Miroslaw Jablonski 3. Ulrich Østergaard 4. Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen 5. Anders Thomsen Esbjerg 1. Artem Laguta 2. Rene Bach 3. Mikkel Bech 4. Patrick Josefsen 5. Thomas Jørgensen

As we have turned the page-last race of the day coming up.
