Ouch.....

Speak for yourself when you say "nobody had heard of" Kasper.I was there when he made his debut for poland

The bad news is they don't pay a penny for online stuff,just if you get a pic in the mag......i was reliably informed by my mate Conkers who said he would have been quids in,as they used a 12 pic crash sequence of his online

What's the interest f-s-p?You thinking of going?If so,i might join you

Loram,Screen,Silver,Luckhurst,Mogridge

Quite chuffed to see my pic of Patryk Dudek accompanying the online Speedway Star article on the Lendava round.Not that the pic was taken at Lendava.It was actually a Bundesliga meeting in Stralsund,but hey ho :party:

Always on the cards.The 80cc Euro Final due for earlier in the day at Chesty Choker was put back until 18:00 then cancelled(it seems),so weather must be pretty bad there.Must have misunderstood the Norwegian as Frederik Jakobsen is the new champ

Battle of the Brits + of the Mikkels.Looks a very interesting clash Think you'll be on the losing side though Peter

I'd agree,it was a bad advert for speedway in so many ways.Does a lot of damage.....well it would do if there was any non speedway fans watching.And i would doubt really that too many non speedway fans tune in with no idea of what the sport is about.But if they see that as the best the sport can offer then i doubt they will be searching out the fixtures for their local track

Another good result from Robert last night in Güstrow.Finished second,behind Kai Huckenbeck but ahead of Danny Maaßen and the recently returned to speedway René Deddens

A few years ago we would have had pages slagging off Ole Olsen for that track last night!!!What i can't understand is why we can't have improvements made to track prep or to the material?Talking to someone who has been to Italy a few times and he said their idea of track prep was to just chuck water on it.He thought the first time that a mistake had been made,but it is what happens every time.Think it is good that the FIM support the smaller speedway countries,but Italy isn't the place for a GP imo

You guys kill me....Tobi wanted to keep the name of the guy behind this secret.Someone whispered a name in my ear and anyone who knows me know i don't really take much interest in technical things(and rules...ok i admit it)and i had never heard of him and it went in one ear and out the other.But there was something about BMW mentioned.That i do know :rofl:

Unlikely.Think Stralsund have to win away in Landshut and they will be without Tobi Busch as he has another priority.Can't see Stralsund winning away,but fingers crossed :D

You've seen a couple now Jesper

Brokstedt 57 M.Korneliussen (3,2',1,2',2,3)13+2 M.Kröger (1,1,2',1,3,2')10+2 K.Wölbert (2',3,2,3,1',1')12+3 T.Kroner (3,3,2,3,2,2)15 M.Dilger (3,1',2',1')7+3 Diedenbergen 28 P.Karlsson (2,2,2^,3,3,3,3)18 S.Mell (0,1,0,0,1,1)3 R.Jensen (1,0,3,2,0,0,f)6 K.Huckenbeck (f,0,0,)0 V.Grobauer (0,0,1,0,0)1 Record Bundeliga win for the home team who really only had Peter Karlsson to worry about although rasmus Jensen did put up a fight.Talk at the meeting was the new prototype engine used by Tobi Kroner for the first time.Supposedly a secret who designed this,but it stems from South Germany and from what i heard has something to do with a famous German automobile name 1,500 in attendance,which wasn't bad considering there was bad weather around the area.We were lucky that the rain stayed away and at times the sun shone brightly

How did the Polish riders in 73 get into the final?We have done all this to death....just search for some of the numerous threads.....it isn't about making the line-up fresh.It's about ensuring the best riders are in.Apart from the usual Brit picked and darcy opting out for certain reasons they generally get it right....and if they don't it is normally those that have qualified....so making more places for qualifiers isn't the way

They were also the days when riders were seeded through to the final........ ;)

Yes you did tell me.I couldn't follow the YGT as i was away in Denmark.Was surprised that Mio wasn't in the final,but Danish webmaster did tell me about Kurtz.. No,didn't go yesterday.Next weekend in Brokstedt,but i doubt Kylmä will be riding for Brokstedt?

Yes,he must stand a decent chance as some of the best Danes are not in....i.e world no2 Jorgensen is just reserve.Couple of good Norwegians to battle against though

1. Danmark 53p. (Sam Jensen; 3-3-3-3 12p, Jason Jørgensen; 1-3-1-3 8p, Jonas Jeppesen; 3-2-3-3 11p, Mads Hansen 3-2-3-2 10p, Fredrerik Jakobsen 3-3-3-3 12p) 2. Sweden 30p. (Johan Jensen; 1-1-1-1 4p, Alexander Johansson; 3-0-2-2 7p, Kenny Wennerstam; 2-2-2-0 6p, Christoffer Selvin; 2-2-2-2 8p, Andreas Runesson; 2-2-1-0 5p) 3. Norway 27p. (Glenn Moi; 2-3-3-2-d 10p, Lasse Fredriksen; 2-3-1-3-1 10p, Espen Sundvor; 1-0-2-1 4p, Ola Pedersen; 0-1-0-N 1p, Vegard Starsveen; 1-1-0 2p) 4. Finland 10p. (Henri Ahlbom; T-1-1-2-1-2 7p, Niilo Vuolas; 0-0-0-1 1p, Antti Vuolas; 0-1-0-0 1p, Sebastian Selvin; 1-0-0-0 1p, Emil Rindal; 0-0-N 0p) Think i am right that this was in Elgane,Norway.Great performance by Norway to push Sweden hard for silver.Denmark of course at another level.Won't mention the team trailing at the back in case i upset my friend f-s-p again lol

Only been a dad a few days and has man flu......now if you had a few bottles of that Finnish stuff you sent me a few years back i'd comeover and help you on the road to recovery....but whisky and red wine.....i'll stick with my German beer tonight.Get well soon though mate....a few hours in the sauna and sweat it out eh?

Well i hope you manage to escape the kitchen in time to see some speedway.Boom,boom

If you could Phil maybe i would be tempted to make my first visit to Cardiff.Bet if it was in London they'd wrassle for nowt

yes.everyone takes a holiday :t:

The rumours of Gollobs demise have been around for quite a few years now.He finally won the world title maybe 2 or 3 years after people were righting him off(me included,as i thought he had missed his best chances),but now i think it has finally come.Enjoy it while it lasts,it was a great career,one of the most entertaining riders ever,when he was in the right frame ofmind.Now i think the years and the off track problems and of course finally winning that coveted title have taken their toll.And i am not sure why that last bit is there as no-one has written Hancock off as far as i have seen????
