Quote of the night-Troy "we want a medal "-The Czechs are a million to one to get one !!!

Thanks for the info.

2 wildcards I was convinced it would be 2 brit`s so probably will be same as Pila-Kyle Howarth.

Looks as if Eddie kennett could be riding on Sunday for Torun(on Holders bikes ?) Emil Pulczynski has broken his ankle.

AUSTRALIA (RED) Darcy Ward Cameron Woodward Jason Doyle Troy Batchelor (captain) Team Manager: Mark Lemon POLAND (BLUE) Jaroslaw Hampel (captain) Krzysztof Kasprzak Patryk Dudek Maciej Janowski Team Manager: Marek Cieslak CZECH REPUBLIC (WHITE) Vaclav Milik Ales Dryml (captain) Lukas Dryml Josef Franc Team Manager: Milan Spinka DENMARK (YELLOW) Nicki Pedersen Kenneth Bjerre Niels-Kristian Iversen (captain) Michael Jepsen Jensen Team Manager: Anders Secher

Organisers are very slow at releasing the confirmed line-ups and riding order-should have been finalised a couple of hours ago.

Helmet colours for the final are Red Australia Blue Poland White Czechs Yellow Denmark confirmed line-ups and riding order should be known sometime around 4.30 pm uk time today

Pretty sure the attendances at Czestochowa,Kings Lynn and Prague do not impact BSI directly-as they sell the rights to hold the meetings to the various tracks for a fee.

Eurosport really pulled out all the stops-Scott Nicholls and the other chap in a studio in London !

If we`re not 6 points behind the leaders-NO

Weather forecast good for Prague today and Saturday so no repeat of last Saturday.

Round 15 TV matches announced Sunday 28th July 3 pm uk time Gorzow v Torun followed by 5.30 pm Czestochowa v Rzeszow

you would have thought the organiser would have had time between posts to do it-on 2nd thoughts 30 secs probably wouldn`t have been enough time.

Wild card for the final opening round in Gdansk is 18 yr old Gdansk rider Kristen Pieszczek. Start time on Saturday 27th July is 5.30 pm uk time

It even stretches to some Brit`s actually supporting and working for the Yanks-Did you see the "main man " on Monday.

Philip Rising has said that BSI/FIM are thinking about re-instating the World pairs in which case the pairs and the SWC would run alternate years.With 7 teams in the pairs you probably wouldn`t need a qualifier just a straight final.

We know which helmet colour the teams are wearing for the Race-off red USA blue Latvia white Great Britain yellow Australia Confirmation of line-ups and riding position will be known shortly after 1.30 pm uk time on Thursday.

Practice should be starting in 2 minutes time at noon.

Sorry to take issue with you-but in 2011 Poland rode at Kings Lynn and won it to go to the final in Gorzow. In 2012 Sweden only rode in the final in Malilla So if not in 2012 when did the new rule come in ???

In post 88 you said Cook would beat him

You obviously don`t rate MJJ and Hancock then ? because they are both in heat 8 !!!
