And in the Speedway Star, Adrian Smith once again mentions how an independent body running the sport would be a major move forward for it.. Tsk. These people coming into Speedway wanting to drag it out of its self inflicted malaise and modernise it.. I don't know..... Who do they think they are?...

Why not just have another heat? The 3rd and 4th from both semis race off for positions five to eight..

Some of the very best racing I have seen at the NSS has been delivered by the NL lads.. The days of 'wobblers' and 'all fall downers' are long gone... And a very reasonable admission price point too..

Good.. I think that there is much more to come from Ellis.. Lambert's performances this season should boost his ambition and confidence as he can definitely compete with him over here.. Young enough to progress several rungs up the ladder I would think.. Danger, as always, is he becomes a "lifer" in the UK Leagues like so many before him, beating riders of similar standing but not moving forward by being tested against the best..

The glaring issue there being guidelines are not complied with by many in the population.. You cant get people to stick to speed limits clearly sign posted so you've no chance to get them to follow 'self responsibility' guidelines.. "Not going to happen to me/I will be fine/These rules are for others, not me" is the mantra of many... And you also have to consider that many in the country are inherently thick so dont even understand what is going on around them.. Hence beaches are crammed full when the sun comes out, shops still have people entering without masks, and pubs are full of people sat next to each other when the "beer kicks in" and their worries and inhibitions are lost.. Whilst all this exists, the virus will always find a receptive host..

You and many, many more sadly . Truly amazing how so many, over so many years, have collectively managed to deliver what we have today. With not one it appears seeing the terraces emptying around them or their costs of running rising at the same time.. Just when you needed more customers because you chose to increase your outgoings, you deliver something which alienates even some of your most loyal patrons... And then continue to do it, year in, year out, even though the fans are telling you by their lack of visits that you are on the wrong path.. A Dragons Den business plan pitch it is definitely not...

Can't remember who, but it was one of those involved who said in the Speedway Star when the admission cost was mentioned that he thought it "cheap"... The rationale used being that if you went to watch a "top show" in Londons entertainment sector you would would be paying many times that amount..

Been some great racing at Rybnik this year... Pity they don't have another heat leader to assist Lambert and Woryna.. And be able to ride the inside better....!!!

Another cracker.. Match pretty much over but you would think a million quid was riding on it... Fans still going mad in appreciation of their riders too...

Booooooooooo!!!!

Great race.. Kasper "ghosted" in there. .. I'll get me coat..

Polish Comms tonight calling him "Vorina" during his races.. Hopefully that will do... And to be fair, Sam used that pronunciation most of the time last night..

If I was a Rybnik fan I'd be pretty peed off by my riders getting passed on the inside so easily.. If they get passed round the outside then fair enough, but at least make the opposition work for it..

Dive......

Many of whom seem to spend lots of time, focus and money in putting one over their rivals to win competitions rendered pretty much worthless in terms of both kudos and great financial reward by the very actions that they take.... A very strange business plan indeed.. Maybe one day they will all truly work together and put the sport first. Whilst it's still there..

It's grammar not spelling. The spelling was correct.

Need more fans to make it viable I would think... Grandstand alone is circa 1800 and the whole crowd seldom gets too close to that.. They reduced the back straight stand due to not needing the size it was too.. Would certainly 'complete' the stadium though..

Especially with two of the best riders in the world hopefully fit and well to ride... Bewley as U21 rider as a track specialist, and track record holder, isn't a bad third rider to have too.. (If they are stil doing the compulsory U21 rider?).. If not then Craig Cook is another who is excellent around the NSS.. Could be a very good couple of days.. (If on)...

GB with two genuine World Class riders who you could make a real case for both being comfortably in the World's top ten..

Wow!!!! Well done young man!!!!!

Looking at Nicki P in the last one, maybe Blue isn't the next best choice? Problem is if he doesn't then Madsen will and be under him..

So nearly right.... Just the 30m ahead by end of lap one....

Great first turn.. Didn't hook it too early which could have been tempting, and moved Pedersen over...

Nicki P. King of the block pass.. We will miss him when he decides to hang up the kevlars. ...

Come on Robert!! Great start for him with Madsens two rides..
