Apparently ill

From the website KING’S Lynn can give their Elite League play-off hopes a major boost when they head to Swindon on Thursday (7.30). The Roger Warnes Transport Stars have kept their top four ambitions alive with three wins in their last four outings. They will now go in search of more crucial league points against the fourth-placed Robins in a huge meeting at the Abbey. Co-promoter Dale Allitt knows they will need to be at their best but believes they have what it takes to come out on top. Said Allitt: “It’s a strange one really because Swindon is a track where we seem to do very well or very poorly judging by our recent results there. “We’ve near enough got a full team, Lewis Kerr is a good guest for Simon Lambert and we think Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen should go well around Swindon. “We’ve got a good balance to the team, so we’re going there hoping to come back with the points.” The Stars have drafted in Lewis Kerr as a guest for Simon Lambert in the No.2 spot, whilst Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen comes back into the side. Meanwhile, Swindon have booked Adam Roynon to guest for the injured Stefan Nielsen at reserve. SWINDON: Jason Doyle, Rohan Tungate, Nick Morris, Josh Grajczonek, Justin Sedgmen, Charles Wright, Adam Roynon. KING’S LYNN: Niels-Kristian Iversen, Lewis Kerr, Robert Lambert, Rory Schlein, Troy Batchelor, Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen, Lewis Rose.

GP challenge semi-final in 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4I_661VBpY

You surely are not serious- 16 points between the top 7 with 6 rounds to go plus 2016 has had everything anyone would want in a world championship series racing wise (obviously anyone bar you !!!)

Top editing from Eurosport this week - all 15 heats in about 50 minutes.

Don`t forget the Riga track is up and running and I think is used for training and meetings.

Maybe the revamped stadium in Wroclaw would be favourite.

Looks as if Kylmakorpi could be missing ill- replaced by Covatti in the draw- anybody who has bet on him can edit bet or that part will be voided 1. 5 Anders THOMSEN Дания 2. 54 Martin VACULIK Словакия 3. 78 Nicolas COVATTI Италия 4. 34 Hans ANDERSEN Дания 5. 507 Krzysztof KASPRZAK Польша 6. 27 Janusz KOŁODZIEJ Польша 7. 36 Peter LJUNG Швеция 8. 13 Vaclav MILIK Чехия 9. 16 Maksims Bogdanovs Латвия 10. 66 Leon MADSEN Дания 11. 59 Przemyslaw PAWLICKI Польша 12. 89 Emil SAYFUTDINOV Россия 13. 85 Antonio LINDBAECK Швеция 14. 7 Grigory LAGUTA Россия 15. 29 Andžejs ĻEBEDEVS Латвия 16. 3 Nicki PEDERSEN Дания 17.

Just got the draw for the SEC in Daugavpils on Saturday and it looks as if he is missing that as well- replaced by Covatti.

He rode Sunday so it can`t be that.

Kylmakorpi didn`t ride in Sweden last night-although programmed. Anyone know why and is he riding tonight ?

A mini Speedway extravaganza on TV over Saturday and Sunday-all UK times Saturday programme starts 15.30 1st race 15.45 live stream(Sabmar TV) of Silver helmet final from Rawicz-you tube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEU9rOPiJvQ programme starts 5pm SEC EURO 2nd round from Daugavpils- see separate thread Sunday programme starts 3.30pm 1st race 4pm Rybnik v Leszno programme starts 6pm 1st race 6.30pm Torun v Gorzow For stream extraleague http://soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport http://www.meczyki.pl/ http://livelooker.com/en/tv,7,speedway.html

video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yH-AGVzoK4 With just 2 rounds of the regular season to go it looks as if 3 of the play-off teams are known 1 Rospiggarna 25 pts 2 piraterna 22 3 Indianerna 19 then it gets interesting for the last place 4 Masarna 15 5 Dackarna 15 6 Vetlanda 12 The fixtures that matter are wk13 Rospiggarna v Indianerna ( 45-45 from 1st match) Vetlanda v Masarna(40-50 from 1st match) Piraterna v Dackarna(46-44 from 1st match) wk 14 Lejonen v Piraterna(35-55 from 1st match) Masarna v Smederna(47-43 from 1st match) Indianerna v Vetlanda(45-45 from 1st match) Dackarna v Rospiggarna(44-46 from 1st match) looking at that lot Masarna for me will be the 4th team into the play-offs.

Kylmakorpi not riding- replaced in his rides by the reserves

There was -Holder came last- like he`s doing in Sweden tonight.

Masarna v Rospiggarna start delayed because of rain.

For once I can watch it live-looks a good crowd in Malilla

You can't have been doing much picking if tomorrow is your first live match of the season !

So I Suppose the next question is- why does Greg not want to ride in the SWC ?

Pretty sure the draft rider at 7 was for" Initial teams building only" when the new averages kicked in it was lowest 2 riders at 6 and 7. I found this while checking Clarification Article 23: APPENDICES The SCB Members reviewed the Regulations in relation to the varying Penalties being applied to the following Articles. It was decided that uniformity was to be a key factor and therefore decided that there should be PRESCREPTIVE PENALTIES for these Offences. Art 5.4.4 : Riding on the Infield (prior to a Heat) : Classed as a Starting offence (ie. Included in Art 15.3) therefore the Penalty is as described in Art 15.16 (Handicap Heat rules) Art 5.4.4: Riding on the Infield (after a Heat): Fine of 1 “point” (1st Offence / not causing danger) or as permitted in Art 3.4.1.2 if considered dangerous or is a 2nd offence. Art 15.3: Classed as a Starting Offence (Penalty as described in Art 15.16) Art 15.3.1 : Warning for 1st Offence, (if the Rider commits a 2nd offence during the Meeting, the Penalty is as described in Art 15.16) For clarity therefore: A Handicap or Reserve Replacement is to be the penalty for each of the following: Touching the Tapes Returning into the Pits Exceeding 2-minute time allowance Riding across the Infield (prior to the start of a Heat) A 2nd Offence (following a Warning) during the Meeting of incorrectly preparing the gate, disobeying the Start Marshal and moving during illumination of the Green Light before release of the Tapes. Note : Gate preparation after the expiry of the 2 minute warning is an offence as per Art 15.3 Issued: Wednesday 13th July 2016

No - rode Sunday in Poland http://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/wydarzenie/62367

Looks as if the new date for Leszno v Zielona Gora is Thursday 11th August

Maksims Bogdanovs confirmed as wildcard.
