They could have cut-out the false start in one of the races-we wouldn`t have known any different if they had just gone to the re-start- that would certainly have given time for 1 more race !!

I`m not entirely sure that`s 100% correct- I heard from a reliable source that they were bitterly upset at British eurosport when they lost the GP contract this year.

Hi Joe it is explained in the rules in the OP- all bets can be edited upto the meeting start time.If the bet is not edited the bet on the rider not taking part is voided. If a rider starts a GP and gets injured the bet STANDS however any points scored by the reserves count in the injured riders total. No points are added when a reserve replaces a rider who has broken the tapes and been excluded.

So we move on to Sunday 22nd may- all UK times 1st up is the NICE POLSKA league match on TVP regional stations only programme starts 12.15pm with 1st race 12.45pm Krakow v lodz Extraleague action on N SPORT 1st up programme starts at 3.30pm with 1st race 4pm Torun v Wroclaw followed at 6pm with 1st race 6.30pm Zielona Gora v Gorzow For the NICE POLSKA match the best stream is http://www.tvp.pl/pl...ideo?id=9991243 or one of the media player links http://soccer-live.p...p?id=motorsport for the 2 Extraleague matches on N SPORT best stream is http://www.telewizjada.net/ alternatives can be found http://soccer-live.p...p?id=motorsport http://www.meczyki.pl/ http://livelooker.co...7,speedway.html

Will post leaderboard later- but on checking bets- this lot adds up to £210 !!!! so I am going to reduce the last bet by £10- so Kildemand is now £10 less.

Dick Bailey actually

Found this video of the 1992 gold cup final Reading v Wolverhampton yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuQSht3xZhQ (if the Racers had had a decent team manager they would have won that ) and reminded me that Sam`s brother Dukie was a decent rider on his day but never really fulfilled the potential.

We only saw 12 heats last year- i fear the same for you in 2016
