I'm still waiting for the promised replacement for Richmond ice rink. As for snyper. Appropriate name- same old predjudice. We didn't call it England the Aussies did Just say something that conradicts the stereotype. Well done Team GB. It was superb speedway that would have converted the casual viewer. I can't see us doing it again on Thursday but as long as they give it their best shot like they did last night what more can we ask?

Was Rosco in Harris' camp? Eddie Bull engines? What happened to the the Peter Johns engines? As for Vaculik and Zmarzlik. Fantastic. But let's see how they go from now on. One swallow doesn't make a summer as we saw with Chris. I'm now hoping for good results from Chris but not holding my breath. Maybe the WTC and the Elite is the only series that will get him going. Significantly they have team managers

I'm very sorry to say that having followed Chris's career since his Trelawney days I've grown tired of the cheery optimism. Poor gating and passing on the outside won't work against the world's top riders. If Rosco can't sort it this term I think it's time to forget the fact that there's no one else to represent the Brits. I would rather see someone like Darcy Ward put the cat amongst the pigeons than see Chris struggle again.

Did Keith Heuwen say something about viewers being able to watch the speedway free tonight? So was that a taster for the Freeview people?

It was so apparent in his last race that he just wanted to keep out of the way. Harris is the eternal optimist so what's happened? He changed his team so has he realised it was the wrong move? With the right equipment he's competitive. He might not always win but last night he was completely out of it and not typical of the guy we know. Harris never makes excuses. Maybe he should start now instead of talking like Mr Bland with a smiley face.

Quite right . So it's Harris or no one. There's no point in suggesting the also rans just to bring in a Brit because they're more unlikely to make the grade. Harris is almost there so stick with him.

It can only be Harris because he's the best we have at the minute but let's face the facts. He can't gate consistantly. If he could he would be seen in a better light rather than the guy who just loves the outside line. That was the difference towards the end of last season. When Greg wins the W/C as I hope he does Chris should take him on as a coach to show him how it's done.

Spot on. Is all this knocking supposed to motivate the team? Seems funny that Middlo's management skills have been brought into question by some who don't appear to have any at all
