My wife goes daily to buy a local newspaper. There is no-one who delivers it so it's the only option.

I'm from Southampton and that's news to me!

As they are self-employed, how long can riders go without being paid, especially the journeymen?

A team that more accurately reflects the age of its fanbase.

Also Karl Fiala with his camera.

An ex-rider told me that everything is rosy when it is all still second nature. When it isn't, when the thinking starts to pre-dominate then it's time to quit. The latter happens with age and Crumpy is 44. Will certainly be an interesting watch.

Yes, not the most exciting rider but neither was Fundin. However, anyone who wins 4 World Titles cannot be regarded as anything other than a legend.

Yes I do. I've used it to watch all SGPs without issue since the inception of the channel.

I see a few references to the M25 as an issue. Being unfamiliar with that area, are there really no feasible alternative routes?

No need to pay if using a PC, I just use the Opera browser which has a built-in VPN.

It is if you use a VPN.

Better than that, they are streamed live in HD on the official SGP channel.

If ever a man looked like a snake.....

Interesting. When did 4 laps become the standard?

My mistake, I misread it as the northern teams not being used to the travel. I can't even blame Christmas excess either, just a senior moment.

Tripe - they would have visited Somerset and Plymouth within the last few seasons.

In what way is it iconic? It's hardly Wembley, just a run-of-the-mill small stadium well past its best.

So, if Lees has a valid claim to have invented foot-forward, is it clear who invented leg-trailing? My recollection is that it was the American Maldwyn Jones with Eddie Brinck also in the frame.

Probably all the old people.

Couldn't agree more. It should be full points to the away team and a walkover score awarded.

Dag & Ulf Lovaas (Nor) Mike & Steve Bast (USA) Charlie & Kenny McKinna (Sco) Vladimir & Valery Gordeev (Rus)

Indeed, luckily my browser has a built-in one which works seamlessly.

Come on John, you of all people would have known the 'Frying Pan' nickname which clearly would not have referred to a big (or even average-sized) track.

You can watch them live on the official YouTube channel for free, in HD, with no adverts at all.
