  1. Surely Brennan beating Lawson when they met and no last place means he gets the last spot?
  2. And people wonder why the top guys jump off the bike! You shouldn't have to fall off to have a re run, can't just ride through people
  3. Could be a blessing in disguise so they can move to get a proper line up for the restaging - which is highly doubtful! Would imagine it'll mean Brennan as WC for Cardiff if it doesn't go ahead
  4. Bailey doesn't appear to be named in the Wroclaw u24 side for this afternoon so unless he's already out there with the anticipation he would have been riding, not including him is a joke
  5. They are starting to get boring, that line hadn't worked in two meetings! 9/1 on Freddie made it even more galling ridiculous decision from Woffy to start half a yard away from the tapes, only he knows what was going on there.
  6. It was going to be an uphill task. the British lads out there are getting plenty of Polish experience but can't translate it onto the track. Gilkes first ride was fantastic but then ended up in a battle with Rowe for third in his last few races and seemed to lack a bit of speed and was naively coming in too wide. Rowe should have scored a lot more than he did, he was the fastest out there in his first 4 rides but his style doesn't seem to allow him to go around anyone, especially on the tighter tracks like Riga. Kemp.... not sure how many GB chances he gets. Decent form for Leicester but very poor away from that. Not picking your u21 champion is baffling and agree with a lot of the comments on Vatcher. No doubt he does a lot for the younger lads but should be no where near managing at this level. The whole point in two TMs should be top look after both teams, like DK with Moller and Pedersen.
  7. If he’s worried about not beating Bewley he hasn’t beaten him anywhere since 2018 at Poole! One has kicked on just a little and one has gone backwards. If there were qualifiers he’d probably moan he wasn’t in one at Leicester! Is Hume the best choice? Why isn’t the u21 champ automatically in it? Especially when Schlien is.
  8. Gilkes falling for the oldest trick in the book! Should have been at least a 5-4 there
  9. I'm looking forward to seeing who's on Welsh comms for it. Their review is better than anything Wales Online have ever put together Press | S4C
  10. Has Charles Wright signed for Wroclaw or is that just a rumour on Polish speedway Twitter?
  11. Still, after 25 years, about not being able to find set ups.
  12. Yes same as Doyley and the Holders. IOW had a good stream of young Aussies when they were in the second division. Adam Shields, Gathercole and Sweetman all started there too I think
  13. As I said before I can never remember him being released mid season but he's happy to pick up every guest booking under the sun within his well calculated average each year. Smacks of a lack of self awareness - his loyalty to British speedway is only because he was never good enough to make Poland work full time. Although I'd imagine it's more his other half doing the talking and his mouth just moving!
  14. Is this the first time he's been bombed out mid season? I certainly can't remember it happening in the top league anyway. I know there were a few changes pre season around covid that saw him move teams but all before a wheel was turned. Finally a victim of the numbers game he plays so well each year to ensure maximum guest bookings and is about to kick off. That being said, he shouldn't be the one making way for the poor decision to sign Batch for Morris.
  15. I wasn't there but again last night he scored 9 points by actually only beating Lambert and the new Dane from the Kings Lynn side and Basso retired in one. As I've said before he's going to get the better of Riss, Hume, Thompson and Rew whenever he's out with them so his average is going to be over inflated by the fact his own team mates are poor.
  16. Requires a little bit of tactical know how though so I wouldn't count on it.
  17. That's the main thing, no last places and there's a really good chance. Bar Lidsey who was the best I've ever seen him the Aussie's didn't look great but imagine they'll take the last place in the final. Danes looked solid as usual but if the track is a little grippier they will fade for me.
  18. Something that seems to run through the whole GB set up. Reserves aren't used as they could be. How many times have we sent young lads over on u21/19 team and pairs competitions and the reserve not been given a ride even when rostrum places have been well out of reach. Never going to progress sat there watching. Czech's putting stichaer in the team and Milik at reserve is probably what got them through into the race off.
  19. Thought Ellis did well in the two he scored points in but as soon as the track changed a little and he was off 2/3 he didn’t look like quick enough to challenge. Thats where the managers should have given Brennan a run for me, he did very well to come in so late and make an impact.
  20. Can you watch from the start on the discovery app or can you only watch live?
