It's a conspiracy theory, Bluey.

From some of the posts above, it looks like we could be losing a Russian but gaining a Rushen….

The article also says that the reason for going down to two teams is, "But with exciting changes to the league structure rumoured for 2026, the Spires will be discontinued, leaving the Cheetahs and the Charger..." Are they perhaps looking at there only being two leagues, i.e. an amalgamation of the top two leagues?

Hopefully, if Dan Bewley does ride for Ipswich next year, he'll have learned to spell it correctly.😃

Tom Farndon much better than Sid Farndon. Peter Craven a lot better than Brian Craven. Jack Parker better than Norman Parker. Jack Milne and Cordy Milne, now there's a poser.

Four Australians. What's the chance of a GP in Australia? (Zero I expect!)

"If Madsen is excluded, Poland are almost guaranteed to go through." Almost, Kelvin? Can you explain how they might not go through?

Kelvin: If my maths is correct…. It'll be a first if it is!

I think the track needs watering. Is Phil there?

Absolutely. If they hadn't had COVID jabs, no-one would have worried about Hausal's cap! It's a very strange alternative world some people live in.

Between 1896 and 1902, this fellow called Ranjitsinhji played for England. Not a new phenomenon!

You're obviously far too deep and subtle for me, Dean. I wish I had your intellect.

Sorry about your sudden memory loss.

Mind you, back in the day, Freddie Mockford used to employ a member of staff specially to go out after Tom Farndon's races to pick up the bits that fallen off his bike during the race!

Ah, the days of Dave Jessup!

No wonder they blew their lead. 18 pints is a bit much for anyone!

Good work on the captions there. Sayfutdinov in the lead all the way apparently.

Yes, of course, there are lots of ways a tie could happen. The point I was making was the unlikelihood of them happening, i.e that at least one would fail to reach the final and the other finish fourth.

For it to be a tie, at least one of them would need to fail to get to the final plus the other would need to come fourth.

So someone else needs to beat Zmarzlik to stop him winning the World title even if Kurtz beats him in Vojens. Hmmmmm. And it's all thanks to the sprint! Great minds and all that, Iain. Was typing as yours must have been posted.

Late news. Meeting abandoned - track waterlogged.

It's called the American wave now.

You've got to feel for poor Kelvin - taking three point off Kvech and adding one point to each of the other riders in the race. It must be far too complicated for him.

Perhaps they've done that because that was his name! What's wrong is them saying Real Name: Raymond Sidney Humphrey. It should say, Birth Name: Raymond Sidney Humphrey.
