Whoever you think should have been excluded I think Pedersen needs to start riding with a bit more intelligence......he keeps steaming up the inside of people with the intention of taking them wide but if there is any kind of contact they go down and the ref usually sides with the struck rider. Pedersen keeps putting himself in the position where he can be excluded. Time for him to start riding with more brains and less brawn.

Pretty harsh to say Batchelor isn't good enough, he gave a decent account of himself in what was his first GP season at fairly short notice.

Quite agree, you guys obviously used Dilger tonight because he was there but the fact there are so many poor foreign riders in the PL and the likes of Sarjeant, Clegg, Greaves, Nielsen, Morley etc can't get a ride is criminal. Needs sorting for 2015.

Small tracks can be good but there's nothing like an overtake or a thrilling race at the highest speeds.

Sweeping bends and short straights make good racetracks IMO, as Somerset & Peterborough testify. I'm sure there are boring races because the Rebels are a very good team and won't be caught if they trap but its a track which offers so many lines, a bit like Scunny.

Hmmmmm Wolves is rarely anything less than very good racing and according to Halifaxtiger (whose opinion I'd take over most) the action at Lakeside and Belle Vue has been much better this year. I think the main problem with the EL is that it has a high percentage of ordinary racetracks. Replace Leicester, Eastbourne & Poole for example with Mildenhall, Somerset and Scunny and all of a sudden the racing in the EL would be a whole lot better. Having seen lots of meetings at all three levels over the years on thirty odd tracks I'd say that third tier racing is the least entertaining IMO.

The Cuckoo is a cracking little pub.

You get the feeling Embra's reserves could cost them over two legs against Somerset.

Unless you are fortunate enough to watch your speedway at Scunny, Somerset Plymouth or Peterborough I think races from the gate are the norm nowadays with the odd decent heat thrown in.

Not Douglas?

Olly Allen is made of glass.

Agreed. The two dullest riders in the series finishing first and second last night says it all.

Bwitcher must be on his way........

The Rugby League table toppers trophy doesn't put their Sky deal in jeopardy.

Kumla has looked bloody good on Eurosport this year.

Fantastic for Lynn in 2006 & 2007, will go down as a bit of a legend in these parts for his efforts in those seasons. Happy retirement Daniel

Bydgoszcz without question (Nige)

As long as the Play Offs determine the champions and the league topping trophy is recognition of exactly that.

Not sure about the nasty bile but it does make him look unprofessional. Don't have a problem with some banter with opposing fans necessarily but being disparaging about another track really isn't on. Berwick may not be the best racetrack in the world but it enables the club to function which provides him with several extra meetings each season to earn money.

I see Cook is being a wally on Twitter again about Berwick, he would do well to remember that his home track is one which plenty of riders dislike but don't see fit to slag off on social media every time they visit. Seems he has as much room for improvement off track as on it if he wants to get anywhere near the top of the sport.

Was going to say something similar re Magic, we had commitment issues with him in 2012 when he was competing in the U21s and twelve GP's along with Poland, Sweden and the UK leagues next year will be a big work load. Would benefit from any squad system being implemented.

Darcy should be made to qualify, might make him appreciate his spot a bit more. I hope Magic's qualification means no wc for Hampel, one of the dullest riders on the circuit IMO.

Well done to Bomber, Doyle & Magic. Kildemand utterly brainless.
