i didn't think he came over as mature in his s/star interview about not being able to race here, having no backing, and not riding for gb unless they came to him and ask, he then might help them out, in fact he hit me as being quite the opposite. i've obviously got the lad wrong. he is undoubtedly a talent and if he can keep injury free he will surely get to mix it with the worlds best because of what he, mum & dad have sacrificed to get to where he is now. but i can't help wonder that as british fans are we fortunate that he had a 50/50 choice with germany and not poland or denmark? your right, he says so himself in every interview i've got of him. he does'nt even think he was as gifted as half the riders he beat to his world championships, and always said the same when talking about darcy ward. i believe he put it down to working harder and being fitter, and ability to get into a rivals head.

at last, the man behind the legend. and those kevlars are a bit of alright aswell. because bradley wasn't in the country someone had to go to the tailors on his behalf. unfortunately martin was the only one available.

strictly for selfish reasons as i moved away from speedway in the '80's it has to be kenny carter. can you imagine carter v pedersen in the g.p.'s.

if he cut his hair all four would gate faster. not only rode well for his 3 points but only lost out to walasek in the 'polish q-final' making the new polish prospect jamrog look slow, you've got yourselves a bit of a star there i think.

thanks for the info, i guess i'm not as disappointed as cam himself . glenn noted.

that's a blow, i was looking forward to that. thanks for the info on the new man as i have totally missed that. perhaps coventry will offer cam a testimonial instead, it would be 2 hrs less travelling for me, on a selfish level of course.

to be honest i'd rather hear the final 2 riders(if kelsey is the worst kept secret in speedway) and the date for cameron woodward's testimonial(before all of march is booked up). should i know who glen martin is?

it's not that she's got worse, when she was new people cut her some slack. but now after so long with no improvement we just want to cut her wages.

i think with a switch of stadium and moving up 1 or 2 leagues would be too much . give them a year to settle in, see what crowds they get etc they'll step up next year, maybe running 2 sides, who knows? plus looking at the possible line up of the league and possible rule changes over minimum team strenths don't expect the mighty heathens to have it as easy next season, can't wait.

fantastic news for any speedway fans, if this keeps up the national league is going to be the best of the three leagues

totally agree with your second statement. watching 11- 13 yr olds a few years ago around hayley stadium was brilliant with all the doom and gloom which always seens to follow our sport, now watching many of them in all 3 leagues is even better, robert lambert being one. likewise watching what looks like 6 or 7 yr olds whizzing round arlington on 80 cc's . however i don't think there's plenty of riders whatever limit will be set because of double-up, treble-up riders the n.l. teams are always going to miss out and need guests more often than before, especially now with the fast-track system. it will be good to have eastbourne, lakeside, rye house, & kent if they all enter.

i hesitate to argue a point with m v & yourself but fans want to know their teams asap. i think the n.l. is slow to get going as it is as isn't the agm a long time after the other two leagues? the big hitters of the lge will still put sides together early as there will be the usual hints about team limits beforehand and if the limit comes out lower will just drop one or often two riders at the last minute, which is fine unless your one of the riders.

does anyone now where i can get a dvd of a grasstrack meeting from 2007, anywhere, any level ? thanks.

can anyone tell me if there are any fixtures this week i want to attend some speedway today and rest of week thanks

hi, jan staechmann has just added km videos to his video empire. although i can't seem to access them atm.

he's certainly out of touch with the majority of fans and riders , you only have to look at the stance over the new european meetings but he must be echoing what the promoters are thinking so him resigning wouldn't make any difference.

thank you very much.

frank smart and i think roger lobb both got 2 yr bans ? he's definately in trouble if he's done what middlo seems to be hinting at , but i hope there'll be help for him not just the elbow.

can someone come back with some info on this meeting as i can't find anything other than the title. thanks.

hi, does anyone know who if anyone filmed at krysztof kasprzak's & joonas kylmakorpi's testimonials as rerun who cover poole & eastbourne didn't. thanks.

thanks for the info.

thank you r+r. now i can ring my 88 yr old mum and tell her what time i'm picking her up. many thanks again.

does anyone definately know the programme start time for finnish gp? between planners and different t.v. books i've got 4.45 and 5.45.

i'm not surprised he wasn't expecting a call up with niels riding so well wasn't that one of nicki's pit crew acting as manager before the gate picks?

i thought that already happened last year i don't understand what their problem is. sam raced for a few decades with and against riders with similar names . jack does lots of different road and circuit racing programmes and i think he does cycle races aswell, lots of east euro names there. if they could sort out the pronunciation part, the commentary would be very enjoyable as they enjoy themselves so much.
