Have I got news for you...

Jesus wept. He needs to be chucked out of the meeting for that 😡

Apparently Anders Rowe set a new track record at Sheffield tonight of 56.79. On a very dusty track I'm very dubious of this being legit. Not doubting Anders' ability at all, but something isn't adding up to me.

Bewley also named in the lineup which I feel has gone under the radar. I don't want to be one of those people, but do we know who is streaming this yet? I know it won't be on TNT - I'm just wondering if anyone knows if BSN or Belle Vue will be hosting it.

I think Bewley is doing his damndest to be back before the season is over. Holder I feel won't be back but doesn't want to admit it personally.

We might find that Mathias Pollestad could get called up into this GP, if Huckenbeck is still feeling the effects of his crash at the GP Challenge.

What the hell does this have to do with the Lodz GP? Creep.

I signed up to the new one after seeing a post on facebook saying that this one had ceased to exist and that the new one was replacing it. Clearly this was misleading - I won't bother with the "new" one as this one has far more history, members and banter.

As much as I'd love to see Kennett heading to Poole I just can't see Garrity NOT going there with the Havvy connection.

I read recently there's been some pretty heavy track work happen at Riga recently. Apparently they've widened the turns and added more banking. A good move if you ask me - I've always rated Riga as one of the weaker tracks in the calender. Hopefully it makes the racing better.

All this talk about "poaching" riders like they don't have a say in the matter. At the end of the day it's the riders choice whom they race for, as ultimately they're the ones signing the contracts 🙄

Slightly off topic, but I remember years ago watching Thomasz Gollob at Wolverhampton when he was racing for Ipswich - he came out of turn 2 for the first time at the back and was so angry by it that he yanked his cutout off and walked back to the pits, left his bike on the center green. Was magnificent to watch 😆

I was at the FGA meeting at Buxton Saturday and there were revi bikes there then - I've never seen them in action before and I must say it was borderline creepy seeing bikes go round where you could hear the steel shoe scraping on the shale. That said though, it was nice to be able to hold a regular conversation and not have to shout 😆

Personally I'm very conflicted by Garrity being there. I'm an avid supporter of the club (I designed their bulls logo) and I'm over the moon that they're back as they're now my local track - I was there Saturday for the FGA meeting (great day, sunburnt to hell) but having an ex-convict ride there with the crimes he committed doesn't sit well with me. I'd have a stronger opinion if he was handed a team place - hopefully this is just a one off.
