And the BSPA must take a huge part in the decline of the sport in this country. All we need is one world class rider who could mount a consistent challenge on the World Championship and fans of the sport in the UK might be tempted back. I agree that i dont see any reason why England couldnt be a nation all by itself, The Scots and Welsh im sure have little interest in the National side anyway and of course that is their (and your) right so. However with no money being put into the future of the sport here it is going nowhere fast. It wont stop the Brits getting behind their nation every year however unless we build we will not just stay static but will fall further behind even the nations further afield than us. It was only a couple of years ago we were saying that the Russians were fast approaching. Think it is fair to say they have zoomed past us now and are a potent force. Maybe our only saving grace is the National Stadium at Belle Vue. Will the authorities put in a structure to ensure that sort of facility is used to its fullest or will it just be Belle Vue`s home track and host Championship and World Cup rounds?? Probably the latter. Good to have a balanced conversation.

Well fancy trying to confuse me with a non related speedway analogy Could you say it a few more times - i dont think 5 is enough The vast majority are so thats all that matters. You dont have to support England. No one is asking you too. What a shame you dont have any Scots in the team to support, i wouldnt why that is?? No one is `buying into the team GB nonesense`. But we are just patriotic when its to do with your country. How dreadful you dont share that view. Not. Quite likely, but they are miles ahead of us anyway so its to be expected.

Well said that man. Couldnt agree with you more. No idea what point you are trying to make. Are you saying dont use Woffy (our 2nd best Brit) because he wont ride well against the Aussies?? The point is woffy CAN ride for Oz if he choices. He chooses GB.

We finished 2nd as expected, did better than expected. Could have been a different story.

WOFFY WOFFY WOFFY

Such a stunning start, we aint been the same since the joker. Need to play the joker against Batchelor so be either woffy or king. No point waiting now.

But Barker isnt in good form and King has risen to Birmingham`s number 1. If you go by his last few scores for the Bees then that is questionable. Never looked a threat on the World stage, sadly to say. You could say Holder shouldnt delibrately knock someone off at this level. Correct call i agree.

Thanks for the links - excellent.

Think Tai has been honest about his ambitions. He has said he wants a good season behind him before commiting. He also said on SKY/Twitter that he should be wild-carded to Cardiff instead of having to qualify via the British Final, He has a good point. Who else uses this way of wild carding?? I believe he also said if Bomber cant do it in the GP`s let him have a go! I know he started the season saying he wanted to qualify by right. However if he comes back well from his injury and finishes the season well i think he would think twice if offered a GP spot next season. I mean, the thoughts of Vaculik, ward, MJ Jensen, Tai possibly being pit forward it looks quite exciting!

He will need a wild card at this rate. And with Mikkel b, mjj and kildermand i wouldnt fancy his chances!

Good meeting and an awesome night for Vaculik. Seen him in the Swedish league and looks a good standard rider already. Awesome debut for Bartosz too. Freddie just couldnt quite keep it going but at least was in the semis and at least it secure in 6th for now. Shame that the dirty dane didnt make the semi`s ................................................... NOT Wants to fight Bomber for last place

Why was it shocking? Emil lifted violently and was out of control coming INTO the bend. Bjarne had shut off as he had nowhere to go with a rider out of control. Emil was out of control so he caused the incident in the first place. Thats a huge shame. Bad luck for Jarek.

Freddie must be THE GP form rider right now.

Well dun Crump , nearly got beaten THE form man in the GP. Another great result for Freddie - looks like he is showing his TRUE form.

Seems quite simple. Dont you just know that many will still think that AJ beating Harris tumps it. Of course it doesnt.

Well done Bomber. Great to see him in the final. Now the only result we need is Freddie win, bomber silver, either 3rd. PLEASE

does he ever have a day off

You know what you get from him. Predictable diver.

Another winner of gate 3?? COME ON FREDDIE!!!!! Well said Chris. Bet he is shaking Freddies hand in front of dirty Dane`s pit lane.

What a blatant dive from Nicki. Serves you right, cheats dont prosper. Bye bye nicki, bye bye.

I just cannot believe Pedersen. Hates riders jumping off bikes (as THJ did according to him last GP) but is happy to do the same. Starts things. No need to be so ruthless. Cannot blame Holder for fighting back for his position.

KKS classic Cannot believe anyone would make should a tactless comment, but then i realised who it was

Couldnt agree more. Loves dishing it, but cannot take it back.

What is it with Keith heuwen and freddie lindgrum - get his name right man

Nowt like winning your home GP to make you smile
