It doesn't make commercial sense to have Bunyan in a GP at all. It's delusional to think it does. I'm pretty sure all New Zealanders that watch speedway are well aware of the best riders in the World. I'm sure all New Zealanders are well aware Bunyan isn't good enough to be in a GP and he isn't needed to make this a sell out

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Also featuring Troy Batchelor as well (I bet you've been waiting for a comment like that )

What an absolute........................................

and there lies the problem. There wasn't a gap for the little round door handle head to go for. Kozza was riding the line. What did the little round door handle head hope to achieve from making a pass like he did. It wasn't hard, it was plain dirty pure and simple.

Can't agree with that. Kozza's riding the inside and Troy smashes him out the way. Ridiculous attempt at a pass

Good news. Needs to massively improve next year though. Must learn how to ride all the track rather than just the outside line. Hopefully a few brave passes next season, that has been his biggest let down.

Actually they may as well do that. Australia, Poland, Sweden & Denmark are light years ahead of any other nation and probably will be for the next 2 decades at least

I think they've got it horribly wrong though. Most Swedes won't bother with the race-off at all now where as, if Sweden had been put into the race some Swedish fans would he bought cup final tickets in advance just to protect that they could get in. I suppose it's all swings & roundabouts though isn't it??????

I have a real issue with the new format. All the other teams once they make the final can pick the most in form riders whereas Sweden are going to have to pick a 4 with no competitive racing and go in cold. It can only be a negative for a host nation. I personally would just seed the host nation to the race-off

There is a way round this for the GP organisers. Have the top 8 as qualifiers then the rest as meeting guests but pick the next 6 riders every time and the other 2 at random then all 16 riders can still race in Poland's Ekstra Liga

As I've said previously, all riders have known about the 1 GP rider rule in Poland for 2012 since the start of the 2011 season. Riders that participated in the GP Qualifiers have themselves to blame and should be forced to ride the series or be sanctioned with an FIM fine / ban.

No. Poland announced the 1 GP rider for 2012 before the 2011 season had even started

Absolutely brilliant meeting. Nothing more can be said

FIM SPEEDWAY WORLD CUP 2012 CALENDAR July 7: SWC Event One (Bydgoszcz, Poland) July 9: SWC Event Two (King’s Lynn, Great Britain) July 12: SWC Race-Off (Malilla, Sweden) July 14: SWC Final (Malilla, Sweden) So pleased so see King's Lynn given another round for this. Fantastic news

Can you imagine the feeling of having Nigel Pearson & Kelvin Tatum screaming through your tv's at 4am OMG

Well, that was an "interesting" meeting Michael Raines. Scores 10 points in his 1st ever competitive meeting. Hope Buster had thrust a contract under this kids noes, one to watch

You're always banging on man It isn't bizarre at all. Tough times and all that and in the last few meetings at this level have been dull to say the least but I will be there.

I'll come back to ya on this one, I'm having my tea

I'm not sure its a national league meeting as David Howe has said he's at King's Lynn this Wednesday on Twitter & possibly Filip Sitera included????? It is down as a stars select team. More PL standard than NL I suspect?????

Just seen this fixture in the speedway star Any updates & line-ups for this?????

I'm astonished that people are referring to Greg Hancock as the most boring World Champion. He's been involved in some absolutely belting races this season and the most stand out one has to be Heat 12 in Torun. He's not shirked from his duties and has been well in the mix of races when called upon. Boring Greg Hancock certainly isn't

Fantastic stuff, Thanks Brilliant from Sky also to make this work (hopefully)
