Not really a race as such, but i remember when i was a kid wishing that Sam would miss the gate at wolves so that he'd have to come from the back, he used to do it all on the back straight on first lap almost every week in one of his races

a salary cap is surely the only way it can work. having a look at Torun they have Holder and Holta, one of those will be in the GP's next year the other won't, they also have Ward who if he goes into the Gp's they can't have in the team. i do think there could be one or 2 shocks next year with certain decisions.

looking at the polish teams the majority of them have 2 Gp riders in there teams now (Zielona Gora have 3 of next years Gp riders). surely by bringing in this rule to reduce wage bills they are increasing the value of the better riders that aren't in the Gp's

i've got a feeling Ward won't take a place in the GP's even if he is offered one. Also think the new ruling in Poland may effect a few things. Could we see a case in Poland of some teams paying certain riders more not to ride in the GP's so that they can be in the team

what about the final in cardiff of gate 4 when pedersen forced holder wide forcing hancock wide almost in the fence he held it wide open, possibly one of the best first corners ever from Hancock Dangerous from Pedersen though

Emil P (can't spell his last name)

don't think they will be, it's now 38-28 to Leszno

slightly off topic but could also have a bearing on Harris and other riders competing in next years GP series. Rules in Poland i believe will only allow 1 GP rider per team next year. Harris currently rides in the same team as Crump so if he does get the pick he'll obviously need to find a new team (or perhaps Crump will) in Poland. This is where it gets more complicated because the 2011 Zielona Gora team contains both Hancock and AJ, now with Pepe P qualifying outright through the GP challenge thats 3 GP riders 2 of which will be on the look out for Polish teams for 2012, Gorzow have Gollob and Nicki P if Pedersen gets in top 8 or a wild card spot that is another rider looking for a new team in Poland. Will riders opt not to ride in GP's so that they have a better team place in Poland or will GP riders ride in the lower leagues in Poland for less money which could effect the standard of there equipment perhaps

Is Lee Richardson still the top Brit in the averages in Britain, Sweden and Poland ?

think they are laying low for a while

cheers i usually go on myp2p but it appears to have been shut down

does anyone have a stream for this ? am struggling to find one

thanks for correcting that i couldn't find up to date stats for sweden. how are the other 4 doing in sweden ?

Thats what they are in the British which in itself is a very weak league. in stronger leagues Bomber is a second or third heatleader at best. Tai is a reserve and Kennett has only just started in Europe as second string, Bridger got dropped and i'm not even sure if Barker rides out there yet.

Tai also had massive problems with Michael Lee last year i believe which led to the 2 of them parting ways and Tai losing a big sponsorship deal with Trucks R Us half way through the season

thanks anders

i think it was a team in the 3rd league could even have been the 2nd league. he got a maximum in his first meeting but since then i've not seen anything of whether he is riding there or not

Is Ty Proctor no longer riding for his polish team that he started this season with. Can't remember which team it was but haven't seen his name in any of the line ups for a few weeks unless i'm looking in the wrong place

i think he wasn't selected in the team due to poor form last season at the start of this season then obviously his injury. i thought he was still at Czestochowa. i know he had been over to Poland the week before to do timed practices with the team to get himself into the main team. had no idea he'd gone/loaned to Gneizno though

Crump Hancock Holder Nicki P don't think the Brits will even make the semi's

i saw that Tai Woffinden was riding for a club in Liga I. has he been loaned out to them or joined permanently

must not be getting picked for them.

Does Woffinden have a team in Poland this year ?

wasn't Pedersen struggling to find a good base set up with his bikes and engines last year ? extra meetings from the Elite League would surely give him more time to find a comfortable set up

is this at the track where he won an open meeting last season
