As Holder was excluded, shouldn't there have been a re-run?

It already is - at every track.

It must have been a different Steve Shovlar in the Poole v Wolves (EL B 01/07/2009) thread then.

I'm too young to have seen Jack Geran and Bryan Elliot, although my dad used to tell me about them. Ken McKinlay was a regular at Blackbird Road even after he stopped racing; I recall leaving the stadium one evening and seeing him rolling around in a bus shelter after overdoing his birthday celebrations. It's all systems go for the new stadium. Only a couple of weeks ago it was just grassy parkland with white lines marking out the track. There is still a lot of work to do, but progress has been very fast and a lot of earth has been shifted. It'll be basic at first, but provided people don't expect too much I'm sure improvements will follow. I hope there will be some sort of speedway meeting there late this year, but I'll be delighted to see the team take to the track next March.

I'm casually watching it too, but there are too many pauses.

With three in Poland this season, it's heading that way.

Don't know but I wish they'd get the message that I do not want to win a bloody Green Card!

Enjoying it, but Pedersen very lucky to not be excluded after locking up, being clipped by Dobrucki who was minding his own business, and going down like a sack of spuds.

So much for all those who prematurely heralded a new dawn for GP speedway on the basis that there was a bit more dirt than usual in the first round. Prague was the same as always. It was a poor speedway meeting, despite Pearson and Louis telling us otherwise (and I doubt they were even in the Czech Republic, let alone inside the stadium). Gollob deserved the win for being the only rider able to produce genuine passing on this awful track, which made his ride in heat 14 was even more stunning. Did Gollob bring Jonsson down? The replays were inconclusive; none of them clearly showed Gollob taking Jonsson's leg away. I don't subscribe to the view that the rider "in front" can do what he likes. I would say the rider attempting the pass must do it cleanly, but there is also an onus on the rider being passed to yield once it is clear the pass can't be prevented. It did appear that Jonsson deviated from his line a little early going into the corner, which may have influenced the ref. This was a close call, and it is unfair to criticise the referee either way.

Because Pearson is too lazy to change from the small number of clichés that he uses ad nauseum.
