Fact-at the moment their is this joker rule,so you have to try and get the best out of these rules,no point in moaning,Nikki P saw the situation as it was and although he raced hard for 3 and a bit laps(think thats gone missing amonst a few on here) he was on the ball with the situation in hand and duly made the most of it,you cant blame the rider for clever thinking. I have to say knowone has mentioned the final heat when AJ clamped Crump a bit like scott Nicholls years ago when a similar thing happened to us with the Danes and the Swedes ganged up.If that was done on purpose hen that for me is 10 times worse.

Anyone know where Ryan Sullivan is in the pecking order for Australia?

plus points for team GB 1-WOFFINDEN-sheer delight on his face when he won that joker ride,looks like he really wants to do well for GB ,although he spent a fair chunk of time growing up in Australia. 2-C.HARRIS -seems on the pace with the very best . minus points 1.S NICHOLLS -Been great for the team in the past,but when you cant be asked to bring your best bikes from the uk is quite frankly not on and someone from the management back up team should have said if you dont bring your best gear over,dont come .The machines he was using were last seasons swedish bikes and although they might have been updated they clearly were not fast enough.

Well ill stick my neck on the line and say Team GB will win the meeting,why because we are a match for anyone on our day and the way the weather isi think we will revel in conditions with Harris leading the way.

Event 1- Povazhny,GREGORY Laguta,Walasek, Hamill Event 2-Wobert.ALES Dryml,Smolinski,Harris Thanks for running the comp TNT

I was going to say that move was a very unlike Hancock move,he very rarely pushes riders hard like that.100% HIS FAULT but just hope all are ok.

and check this one out as well!!

All i want is to understand the rules-how come nigel,kelvin,louis ermolenko couldnt help? right or wrong what did you think the rule was? say if the same thing happened on the back straight of the last lap?Im not having a go its what we are led to beleive in gps-and what about the 2mins warning for riders in re runs-did you know that rule the its NOT DOWN TO THE REF

Well for what its worth i side with what SCB is saying,the confusion is that the ref put the blue exclusion light on ,in league racing on the last lap the rule is crystal clear-award the race,but the SGP is differant as we are led to believe from years of watching that no matter what you cant declare the race finished if he excludes someone,the blue light cleary came on so the only option is to re run it.Thats what we are led to beleive year in year out.Someone somewhere should make the rules crystal clear,not even nigel,kelvin,louis ermolenko and alot of fans didnt know the rule ,its so stupid not to have a crystal clear decion to make that everyone understands. while im on that issue who knew the 2 minutes warning in re runs was not done by the ref. but some director of speedway?!!!!!!!!!!!

Hancock must wonder if its just gonna be just one of those days,hes done nothing wrong but Gollob has just done another super pass on the last bend of the last lap on him!!

suuuper pass jenson on Hancock the speed he carried was unreal,how on earth did he do that?

................ BUT its worth watching just to see bombers face when holder ripped the phone out talking to the ref,it almost looked like bomber was about to pick the phone up from the ground to try and speak to the ref!!!!!!!!! wonder if the track billed mr Holder for the repairs to the phone?

Ive never really understood how speedway approaches new ventures.This was a new venture,they knew that some outlets were closed at the track why didnt they say to speedway collecters(there are many on ebay) to come and sell their goods,its free to come but say maybe the stalls pay a percentage of what they take.Also the local Kart track is in the arena complex as is the fishing lake,surely something could have been done to encourage people to these events then go onto speedway.maybe a meet the new riders either in the bar or pits,just anything that would make revenue from nothing like quizzes(or even a jon cook talk on speedway would be interesting after the meetings.

FOR THE BRITS-Thought Harris was 1st class even in the last race he went for it,Woffinden and Barker done ok,lewis was in the big arena for the first time so ill see what happens next time,BUT Kennett i cannot let off,wasny keen to mix it,kept shutting off (cant beleive how many times he did this)and just didnt look at ease at all but middlo kept him in his last ride for whatever reason,it would have been better to give Lewis another ride,rather then Kennett going out already beat.not looking forward always looking around.This is not Eddie Kennett the racer we know and someone should have a word with him about what he did on track tonight.

Are GB giving themselves every chance to get to the final? Ie backroom staff,prepararation(when were the riders in Poland?)and most important have we got someone to oversee the bikes and engines.Im thinking Ashley Holloway to tune the engines which were ready to be sent right after the K Lynn meeting i hope? !

Harris beat Gollob Hampel beat Harris-I know some will say Hampel is better,and they may well be right but Hampel has never been the best to pass riders,so if he can do it im sure a lot of other riders were more then capable but it just never happened

SO am i correct in saying emil isnt riding because of a money issue? If so i dont know where roman p is based but how comes hes making the effort to get to kings lynn?

Does anyone know if Mads K was on his own bike or was it borrowed from a team mate.In fact does anyone know it that was infact Mads himself out on track as he looked very stylist and in control!!!!!

Of course Batch was told to come in 3rd,the only prob he had was deciding how to to it,(i dont think he wanted to do it-he was told or persuded)ALSO how come AJ has got off scot free in chucking races,he was fully aware that sweden needed to finish second in that heat to be 6 points down but was clever enough to fool just about everyone.PLEASE go back and watch the b pedersen last bend overtake again.

Just out of interest can our swedish friends say how well known are swedish speedway riders? Are they in local press,on tv chat shows etc.Thanks in advance

lIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID IT WAS A PLEASURE FOR ONCE TO SIT AND LISTEN to some infomation about people.costs of ,equipment after lindback crashed,and general info about track records etc.Jan seemed really clued up with what was going on,and again like others have said it seems to have brushed off on pearson as well giving some info about Holtas clutch lever etc.Now we have the commentry sussed at long last all we have to do now is dig up the track at the marketa staduim so next year everything will fall in place !!

Looks like they are running the final round of their under 21 TEAM championship ar Slany on the 26th september BUT there is no mention of the junior 21 czech individual champs.Maybe they have decided not to run the 5th round and just get the team under 21 finished.

MEETING OFF -Track waterlogged-new date will be decided this week

JUST wondered if anyone knows do they still have complete track covers at Vojens and if they are still used why couldnt they prepare the track 3 or 4 days in advance.That way just cant blame the weather and the track wouldnt be super slick.
