Agree but one can only dream that it could happen.

Still not on the pace in that heat. Wait for the home fixture.

I guess the money involved in this league demands a much higher level of professionalism and it shows in the riders attitude to racing as well as the competitiveness which ultimately gives that edge to the presentation and the way it comes across on t v all of which goes over the heads of those who run the u k version of the sport. Stadia packed, high profile t v and websites that give you the most up to date and best info about the sport.

If only this was shown on u k television. It would show what a spectacle it is and it might give impetus to those in charge to make more effort. Alas the sport cannot compete on so many levels but the opportunity exists if they have a mind to.

If only the funds were available to have an international individual meet here in the UK (not a GP) with the likes of Dudek, Bartosz and other top European riders as opposed to top country representatives race a series for a European/cross border championships. It would take a lot of cash/sponsorship but it would probably reinvigorate interest this side of the channel/North Sea.

I know but the curse of saying it seemed to work. At least that is what I am believing for now. Great race.

Yep. Should keep a low profile. Great ride last to first. Hope he can perform for Ipswich in the same way. Well done Emil.

Bartosz on the gas as usual. Emil not what he use to be.

Absolutely amazing support and the stadium appears to be packed. Game on for the supporters.

Yes a good meeting but in the last heat it seemed that the rider in red was trying to use a bit more of the inner track than he should have but did not detract from a good nights racing.

See Racers & Royals post five back from yours.

Anyone have any details regarding u k company Mayfield Sports Ltd becoming FIM global promoter for the next six seasons. Will it make a difference or is this WBD bailing out and just transmitting meetings.

Yes a chance to make up for an opportunity missed but history has a habit of repeating itself and with the current crop of club owners/promoters it is difficult to believe that could learn from the past or make bold decisions to take the sport forward given that the current business model does not work. It is doubtful but I guess all on the forum would be happy to be proved wrong and a new dynamic is introduced in 2026.

The challenge is on. Well done to both teams and keeping close makes for an interesting next leg.

He seemingly could not be bothered in that last heat. Was it because it did not matter as the meeting had been won or has he got to the point where he should take your advice. I have thought for some while that he should do as you suggest.

What a ride from Zengota. Thanks to both teams for providing an entertaining meeting.

It should be the best riders in the world not the best rider from each country. Otherwise why not have an Argentinian competing or even a Ukrainian rider. The SGP is a lottery to appeal to the widest number of tracks willing to hold a round rather than a true championship involving the worlds best riders no matter what the nationality.

Parnitsky is a future world champion. He has something about him and is one to watch over the next few years.

It is an incredible atmosphere and having that sort of support must spur the riders on. Racing is not bad either and Tom gave a good account of himself in that race pushing Zengota all the way.

Impressive.

I was thinking of more travelling fans who might be tempted to travel to an away track on a weekend race night. I know Ipswich get very good support and I use to go regularly and would normally go to Mildenhall because they ran on a Sunday. When it was a different set up in years gone by, it was Hackney on Friday, Rayleigh on Saturday and Eastbourne on a Sunday and the occasional trip to Canterbury and whenever Rayleigh were away from home at another weekend track I would normally go. It is all different now with fewer teams spread across the country making supporters think hard before bothering to travel to an away match. Stocks and bangers probably get more support for many reasons and it just does not compare from a business model perspective. Anyway each to their own.

Yes normally weekends and bank holidays with the two biggest being (crowd wise) Speed weekend and the bonfire bonanza. If only more speedway teams raced at weekends.

Well done to Dan. Look back on his career and how he has come back from adversity to be one of the GBs top riders and I am convinced that he will claim that championship one day. Thanks to all the GP riders who made this year’s competition what it became and on to 2026. Now just the domestic championships to be resolved and the SON.

All those who knock Brady really don’t have a clue. He took it to the current champion and it could have gone either way but that is what a season finale is about. Well done to all the riders and on to 2026.
