Lets hope so! Will certainly be a few interesting heats.

After listening to Doyle on the SPG podcast, they sound worse than footy journo's over here

Don't think you'll have much to worry about, Kubera and Dudek will play their best supporting roles to make sure he gets over the line

So he is! I have no idea who I was looking at there, I noted him down as 2.65!

Flint, Harris, Tate, Mulford, KJP, Grmek leaves about 2.75 on current figures, Hodder as the second reserve is about the best under 3.

Companies house says early this year -2021- 2006 is still 5 years in my maths and Matt was there the year before him. Was Matt not on there before you dropped down as well?

Has at least one of the owners not been on said management board for at least the last 5 years? By my count, at least 6 clubs gone in that time, yes Northampton have come in (at a huge, forced, financial gamble) but the quality, participation, engagement, crowds, riders have all disappeared due to being so disillusioned with the sport. So yeah, pull the ladder up jack, we're winning meetings on our tarmac track and getting some decent crowds. That's all well and good but they won't have many teams left to race soon enough.

Is that not the exact reason the sport is on it's backside? Pull the ladder up jack, we're doing alright...

Would be more than happy to see Kvech get one next year. Parnicki was an experiment that definitely didn't go as they hoped. As long as Kubera doesn't get one

Too many out injured this year, I think. Bewley and Holder are a cert, there are so many permutations with the qualifier results and the SEC, who knows. Wouldn't be surprised to see Kvech get one again

Kim’s already qualified

It was more tongue in cheek, Phil. Can't see either him or Jack going anywhere other than where they currently are.

Could they bring Brady, Rasmus and Jack back as their top 3?

Thought Flint rode a lot better than 1 point, few silly mistakes but acquitted himself very well on the top stage for the first time. Ellis mistakes as well in scoring positions that he shouldn't be making with the experience he has. Wright had a great meeting, again felt like he scored more than he did as he was always in the mix. Woryna jumping off was an embarrassment. Lambert just oozes class at the moment, if he can win in Vojens then Torun could be very interesting. Wasn't the most exciting of meetings but there has been a lot worse at GP level, enjoyed it this morn

The constant camera angle switching had me dizzy after lap 2. Why the centre green angle? The one from the stand is more than enough for 90% of a race

Just say he can't fly, all good, no questions, move on. Hey, you could even get Kennett to guest!

But not running when a World Cup of another sport is running 😄

I'd have gone for Pickering, a lot more aggressive on all types of tracks than both.

Probably the best side they could have named but shows how far behind they are outside of the top 2. Will be lucky to get anything more than what Lambert scores

you can tell Cierniak has had Zmarzlik in his corner

Doesn't help with the level of TM they have compared to the others

If he's paid bonus points, which by his scoring over the last decade would suggest, he clearly does. Makes himself employable in each league each season on 'bargain averages' 55 BPs in 2025 60 in 2024 56 in 2023 and 40 so far this year. His riding average is always around half a point more than his GSA, you can't fault him on it in a sport with silly team building rules. Dare I say it, if there was a squad system/no average limits, he probably kicked on a lot more than he as

Which is probably why Cairns appears to be much more consistent than Rushen at Poole. Lawson happy to sit behind him in third or second to help keep his average down

Will probably end up something like: A – SCUNTHORPE: Jacob Hook & Luke Harrison. B – BERWICK: Palovaara & Jenkins C – GLASGOW: Chris Harris & Leon Flint. D – WORKINGTON: Tate & Drew Kemp. E – REDCAR: Charles Wright & Jason Edwards. F – OXFORD: Sam Masters & Killen. G – EDINBURGH: Sedgman & Kye Thomson. H – POOLE: Richard Lawson & Zach Cook. I – PLYMOUTH: Barker & Danny King.

I thought that at the British Final, seemed very happy with 'just' being second in every race. Granted it worked well but he was no where near as aggressive on the track as the other 15. He's coming along as a good little rider but does seem to lack that edge that would push him to the next level and probably why his Polish opportunities have been limited.
