How many qualify?

Maybe they’re planning on showing delayed coverage at the usual GP time slot as live coverage might clash with other sports that they usually show in the afternoon.

Thanks Andout & Walter No wonder they didn’t try to explain that over the tannoy! I’m sure I saw on the screen they initially put USA 4th and France 5th which seemed to confuse people even more! Just get rid of the knock-out races. Yes she was and also had a habit of announcing reserve replacements after the race!

So how were USA, France & Latvia separated on 16pts? Seeing as we weren’t told inside the stadium. Also why did France’s 2nd & 3rd in heat 22 beat USA when the Americans seemed to think they’d won and did a victory lap but the French went straight back to the pits?! I thought I read before the meeting that if it was a 3-3 then the team in 4th beat the team in 5th It took a good 5 mins or so before they announced why Australia were ahead of Denmark! But at least we got an explanation.

No Hancock, no Doyle, no Lahti, no Pedersen and no Bogdanovs or Puodzuks for differing reasons has all put a bit of a downer on this meeting imo. It’s going to be a 3 team only battle and hopefully they all want to finish in the top 2. Oh and hopefully some great racing on a great track but it’s been poor weather all week.

Always was a strange choice by Glasgow to take on Chessell after such a long injury lay-off. Even stranger for Stoke to keep saying he’s taking a break from the sport, when he’s not he’s just on a 28 day ban!

I think Campos is going to surprise you.

I hope no-one turns up on the 20th Seriously though it should be a good match up as Plymouth have gone very well at Smallbrook in recent years and track several former Warriors. But Wood & Morley will have the edge over the Wilson, Stoneman & Campos but it looks tight elsewhere.

And so it begins. They’ve already ran a relatively successful meeting this season so what’s this needed track work all about?!

I too thought Ipswich would have a preseason plan to bring Kemp in sooner rather than later. But they’re picking up decent scores lately almost solely down to 2 excellent reserves so I don’t think they would want to change that now.

Yeah the other squad member has to be about who would go better in Russia if needed. Harris has the experience and has had a decent start to the season and is a better bet there than Worrall. He’s still unlikely to ride though unless Tai or Cook get injured.

Correct 3 for GB. No Hancock? Novratil over Wells? Kostigovs over Puodzuks or Bogdanovs?

Wait until the NL Pairs go on into the night...

A win here and a point at Redcar and it’s a possibility for the Scorpions. Hopefully the rain holds off.

Coles seems to be one of them riders who has ‘potential’ year after year but never really lives up to it. But you have random ones like Starke who was in a similar situation and did make a breakthrough.

Very harsh if it’s just the highest points total in 2nd place as that excludes the 3 team group! Points average would be fairer than that. Was the points average used last season?

How do they decide the best placed 2nd finisher in the shield? Use average points, discount points against the bottom placed team or something else?

Peter Ljung? The Swedes have better than him.

Quick predictions thread! 1. Who can you see being the 4 play-off teams? 2. Who will be league winners? 3. Who will end the season with the highest average? 4. Who will increase their average the most? 5. Will the NL Fours & NL Pairs run?

With 3 of the hottest young prospects in Bickley, Flint & Palin all in the same team it’s going to be an exciting season at the NSS. I can see many more teams getting hit for 60+.

How didn’t Jedd List fare in the second half?

Any more teams?

I do like Kelsey but him and MacDonald are polar opposites in terms of reliability and commitment.
