You make it sound like Birmingham had a choice. If there was a rider of MJJ's quality that wanted to sign a contract for the whole season, Birmingham would have done it. They had to settle for MJJ on a two month contract, because nobody else wants to ride in the UK.

A real shame. I wonder if his Polish club placed any pressure on him?

From what I hear, MJJ thought long and hard about his decision. He very much liked riding for Birmingham's promotion and their fans. It's a blow for Birmingham, but not really a huge one when you consider the tragic news that came out earlier this week. Brummies fans should go to every single meeting between now and the end of the season. As a Panthers fan, my biggest regret is not attending more matches at the Showground.

MJJ did say he wasn't closing the door on returning to Birmingham. He might be back in August once his schedule has calmed down a little bit.

Not fair. He didn't agree to riding the full season.

Why did Sheffield get 28 days to replace Woffinden, but Birmingham get 14 days to replace MJJ?

No Doyle makes this an easy win for Birmingham. 53-37 to the home side.

Gutted to see a good crowd for this. The locals should have boycotted this for Artem.

Birmingham should be going out with a bang. Bring over Artem Laguta

Really sad.

? I really hope Birmingham are making a team change. They should replace Castagna with a 7 point rider.

That sounds worrying. What tone did he make the statement in?

If Zagar isn't back for the next meeting, then we know it's not a visa issue.

Not sure where Birmingham go from here. They desperately need Zagar back for the next match.

Birmingham need a big performance tonight. They are capable of winning the aggregate point.

My stream died in heat 13. A shame.

Zagar's absence is a big factor here. If he was riding, Birmingham would be easy winners.

MJJ as a tactical sub in heat 8?

Horrible start from Birmingham. Kildemand is dangerous and out of control.

Haha, Magic wins the toss and chooses 2 & 4. He was supposed to pick 1 & 3.

Am I the only one who thinks Ipswich -16 is ridiculous?

Really impressed with the quality of the Oxford stream. They are taking us to the Birmingham pits and giving us a close view of the riders.

Do you know who Michael Jepsen Jensen is?

A bank-holiday double-header for two teams in desperate need of points. The first meeting is at Oxford (1pm), with the return leg in Birmingham (7.30pm). Both fixtures can be streamed online, Oxford are charging £13.99 for their home fixture, whilst Birmingham are charging £12.99. Michael Jepsen Jensen scored 16 points in Poland on Sunday, Birmingham will need him at his very best on Monday. Maciej Janowski also had a good meeting for Wroclaw, so Oxford will be hoping "Magic" turns up. Cook at reserve will be interesting, he could be a trump card, or a massive let down. Teams Oxford: Janowski, Riss, Wright, Kildemand, Tungate, Cook and Kileen Brummies: Musielak, Castagna, Jeppesen, Rew, Jepsen Jensen, Hume and Edwards My Prediction Oxford Spires 43-47 Birmingham Brummies Birmingham Brummies 49-41 Oxford Spires Top Scorer: Jepsen Jensen - 25 points across both fixtures.
