Older riders take longer to warm up, we're nearly in June and the Panthers boys have shaken off the rust. Lynn 40-50 Panthers

Eurosport seem to think the meeting is still alive.

Eurosport is so tinpot. I miss Sky Sports.

Who won the league title last year?

The BV team budget is significantly larger than the Panthers budget. Very difficult to compete against teams who have free stadiums given to them. Why is there no financial fair play in speedway?

Get on the phone to Artem and Emil.

Why didn't BV do this when it mattered?

Hans is nowhere near the rider he was in 2006. That Hans was a different kettle of fish.

Champions bounce back after setbacks.

A shame Belle Vue didn't do this when it mattered. The Panthers experience will come into play during the pressure meetings in the play-offs.

That Panthers side has 7 riders who could quite easily score 10 points at BV. BV 42 - 48 Panthers Basso to hit 10 +

Without Emil and Artem, the GP series is one of the weakest it's ever been. Zmarzlik has already won.

Peterborough have 5 number 1s.

If Emil is banned from riding in Poland, could BV pull off a sensational swoop? Maybe this has been Mark Lemon's masterplan all along.

Other sports are carrying out similar actions to Russian athletes.

I cannot see Bewley signing. Poland won't stand for anything less than 100% commitment.

There is no national insurance pot. State pensions are paid by today's workers. Also, national insurance contributions don't fund a generous state pension. You'd have to pay a lot more if you wanted an equivalent annuity on the open market.

Speedway fans aka homeowner pensioners are sheltered from the cost of living. Their homes rise by several percent each year. They also receive state pensions that rise by inflation.

Clubs who manipulate averages to keep a rider at reserve are cheats. No two ways about it.

I think BV's title hopes are up in smoke. If they couldn't beat the Panthers with Bewley, what chance have they got without him? The Panthers have 5 number 1s in their side, BV have 2.

Bjerre would be a better signing than Woffinden. He would be more committed and is a better trapper. Bjerre is fondly remembered in Peterborough, some Panthers fans even used to call him "King Kenneth".

What about Kasprazak? He seems to be on a bargain average.

Congratulations to BV on their title win. Money can buy you success. Especially when you get a free stadium from the taxpayer.

Not true, Belle Vue can ride with no facility. Woffinden wouldn't then receive a ban.

If I was Wolves, I would insist on a transfer fee for my club asset. You wouldn't see Liverpool loan out Mo Salah. If Woffinden told Wolves he didn't want to ride in the UK, he was under clear instructions from BV. I have a feeling BV have played Wolves here.
