racers and royals

Great effort by the Cloppenburg track staff to get the track anywhere near raceable.

Teams confirmed

Pouring down !!

he was having a ding dong with Affelt and ran out of room on the straight- he wasn`t left too much space !!

Up and running- decent coverage

Because it always has been for the European senior events !!!¬( only in recent years has the SEC had better fields)

In order to maintain cordial relationships between the UK and Finland, here is the 2021 rule and you can make want you want out of it. Wild Card Rider: A Rider nominated by his FMN and approved by the SGP Commission to participate in an individual round of the SGP series. 3.5 Wild Card Rider In each SGP Meeting, 1 Wild Card Rider will be nominated to take part.

Proposals must be made in writing to the FIM not later than 1 month prior to the meeting. The SGP Commission will make the final approval and nominations.

DGT you are a good judge who is the likely winner ? will it be a shoot out as in Torun between Paluch and Pedersen ?

Sorry - just saw Alan Mogridge and a list of tracks and the red mist discended

He definitively rode for Berwick- because his 1st home meeting was against Reading and his exhaust fell off during a race and the ref was blind and deaf - and a certain Mr Waite smuggled it back to the pits under his Jacket- the cheating git- hope it burned him !!! The Clerk of the course wasn`t watching of course - he was at the tea bar chatting with his mates !!! After all these years am i angry- you bet i am Wouldn`t be surprised if a certain Dick Barrie wasn`t involved in it somewhere

Table after last night- all ridden 8 matches(halfway stage) 1 Smederna 14 points 2 Dackarna 11 3 Vastervik 10 4 Lejonen 10 5 Vetlanda 10 6 Rospiggarna 6 7 Masarna 5 8 Indianerna 5 9 Piraterna 1

Deliberately left Rosspiggarna v Piraterna to watch last as i knew the racing would be rubbish !!(leave the inside and you are history !) and the video matched it !! 2 surprise RR`s in the match- Nilsson for the Hallstavik team and Kildemand for the Motala visitors- i`m sure that was not apparent before the start. Attendance was 1403 and i`m sure they were as bored as me watching it. Lahti top scored with 14 from 6 for Rospiggarna and there were 3 big scorers for the visitors - Jamrog 14+1 from 7, Seifert-Salk 13+3 from 7 and Fajfer 13+1 from 6.

Are there live updates for the semi`s does anyone know ?- DGT ?
