It's you. Get a grip, she's the most knowledgeable and easy-going presenter for years. What is the point of your post?

Bomber will be one of the seeds. Nicholls needs a miracle.

2006

Top tier, back-straight towards exit of bend 2, sound generally no problem, though way too loud and distorted on the video feeds.

Because nothing of any relevance to the meeting is determined during practice. Only happens to help riders with their set-ups.

Yes, first time that's happened. I thought the draw was normally at least a week before the event so why delay to Friday? Cannot make any difference to the riders, and its not as it the 16 are not known well in advance. Pain in the butt for (lets say) 25,000 supporters who have paid £8 for an incomplete programme.

Speedwaygp.com says the attandance was 42,000. What was last years as the crowd looked more sparse this year and I would suggest at least 5,000 less ?

Good value is £35 in airhorn free zone U33. Great view of the first & second bend action.

Thank you

Does anyone know who is providing the pre-event entertainment this year? And are there junior races ?

Laughed when Crumpy and Adams completely ignored Pedersen as he walked back to his pit after the accident with the Russian

Some of the Elite exiles certainly struggled tonight, none more than Hans and Scotty. Okay so they have not had much racing yet but wasn't that the whole deal - less racing and more time for the GP? All gone badly wrong so what is Plan C Scott?

Love the way Havvy is taking the p@ss out of Mullard's commentary by his constant reference to Sayfutdinov's age

Huh?

But he'll be in the 2009 series anyway. Gives Holder a chance to show his credentials. I'd love for both of them to grace the series next year!

You kill me, so predictable !

Plain and simple, Chris Holder should be offered the chance next week

Well Smolinski must not be allowed to be the wild card next week, and the Poles have had their turn. So bring on Chris Holder for the Finale !!!!!!!

Well, the GPs won't be enhanced if three of those first heat winners get through (maybe Gjedde apart). Can't see Sullivan, Walasek, Ulamek being competitive in the 09 series (nor most of this line-up frankly).

But neither deserve a place next year.

Well, Bjarne has been poor this year and won't be in the 2009 series.

But a year ago, Kasprzak was riding well enough to be rewarded a wild card. This year he has been awful on the international scene

Should go back to 2 wildcards for every GP - let the home association pick a home rider (despite being a complete waste of space tonight!) and one other rider who is perfoming well across the domestic leagues. This would give the Holders etc, a chance whilst giving up & coming locals a taste. And a revamp of qualification is essential - this year we got Dryml (no comment), next year it could be Ferjan or Richardson :-(
