£50 each way on Rune Sola.

I saw Rune Sola a couple of weeks ago riding in the Norwegian League. He raced to an 18 point maximum on the day. I take the point that nobody knows who he is but I think it's good that they are giving the kid a chance. Norway are very keen on raising the profile of Speedway and having a local rider in the GP will raise the interests more than it would having someone like Linback in as a wildcard. Sure he and Arnt Forland may struggle to compete with the GP boys but I'm all for Norway having these two as wildcards. I say this because the enthusiasm within the local riders is such that seeing these two in the GP will hopefully spur them onto to emulating their compatriots. (PS - Did you all like the picture of Rune Sola in the Star? Yep, you guessed it, it was one of mine!)

Fair play to the Aussies, they weren't breaking any rules and in fact used them to their advantage. However, in future I think that the joker should not be allowed in the last heat, in fact they should scrap it full stop. If you look at the situation last night, the Aussies brought in a joker as they were six or more points behind the leaders Sweden, in effect though the last heat was Poland v Australia and the Aussies were only 1 point behind. So the odds were heavily stacked against the Poles and had Crump beaten Gollob it would, in my eyes anyway, been a hollow victory. You can't bring tacticals in heat 15 of a league match and you shouldn't be allowed to do so in the World Cup. All irellavent though and Australia are OUT! Ha!
