racers and royals

The % of punters having VPN’s is small in the great big picture. It’s no different to all the sport on TV being streamed in this modern age. The only seemingly secure is the Swedish matches - other than the main match that i watch through my Fanseat subscription- these don’t appear anywhere to my knowledge.

You obviously trust Eurosport(Discovery sports events) far more than i do- what if they are on player only ??

No idea - you can translate what i read on the PZM site as well as i can. Don’t forget that the PZM were almost certainly involved in the negotiations for the Polish national team riding in the match and TV/ internet would have been part of the discussion.( match is not on Polish TV schedule).

Because in so many words they have said so ! (Poland that is - not the Scots !!!!)

Think it’s about Phil trying to make a living. If that’s what’s needed we might just have to put up with it.

Hartel stays with Landshut(U24position)

It`s definitely being streamed because Polish fans (in their homeland) have been told they will be able to watch it. Presumably they will make it chargeable to watch in the UK and free in Poland.

Yes and no- Discovery sports events are the new promoters and Eurosport are in the same group. Discovery have said that Discovery plus will be the main viewing platform for the GP`s(subscription channel)they have also mentioned coverage on Eurosport but i am yet to be convinced that LIVE will be on Eurosport.

One final comment then- Are the Scunthorpe promotion denying a press release was issued late on Friday(8th) naming Ellis as ill and RR was being used to cover his absence ??

yes

Not sure that follows-the BSPA press office can only get the information from the clubs own press releases- not sure Scunny are telling the truth and the whole truth.

So why is Etheridge listed at 5 in the line-up in the preview- replacing one of the other riders missing- did they make that up as well !!

Rob- how did the BSPA website in their preview published on Saturday http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/news.php?extend.39740 have that Ellis was ill and RR was being deployed- did they make that bit up ??

Over a cup of tea this morning i have been thinking (difficult at my time of life ) about tactics on using the U 21 ride. Steven Goret is in my opinion the worst of the 7 U 21 riders on show, so ideally on Saturday heat 11 would be the ideal race for Brennan. France however are hardly likely to definitely use Goret in that race. It will be intesting how it pans out over the 2 days. I can foresee some blagging from teams similar to the F1 pit crews

Dan Bewley - different class at Belle Vue- i don`t think so !!

They could try but the FIM international Jury will have the last say and might not allow it.

A change can be made either before day 1 or 2 in case of injury.

If it’s 2 teams tied it’s head to head over the 2 days. If that can’t split them it’s bonus points that are then used to decide. if it’s more than 2 teams tied it’s bonus points that decide. if this still doesn’t decide it then 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th are counted . if that doesn’t decide it then the higher ranked side finishes above the other team(s)

Might be a good time to clarify the format and some of the rules. Day 1 21 heats scoring 4, 3, 2, 0 under U 21 rider must ride in 1 heat Day 2 1st day scores are added to day 2 another 21 heats and the U 21 rider must take 1 ride. At the end of the 42nd heat the leading team go to the final(race 44). next best 2 teams go in race 43 to decide who gets to the final. The team who win the final win the title.(2nd and 3rd beat 1 and 4) Any starting offence warnings are not carried over from day 1 to day 2. U 21 riders are not allowed to replace riders excluded for a starting offence.

Idiot !!- He won the British final in 2018 on the track
