Actually though Nicki Pedersens first world title and Crumps first one or two they didn’t necessarily look miles quicker than anyone else and was more down to track craft. For what its worth, I think Rickardsson had brilliant track craft and is the best rider i have been by a long way since 1998 but there was one year which i forget where he looked like his bikes were 700 ccs!

Andersen could be a massive trump card come play offs, will he still be at reserve?

Same engines for everyone would be the way to go but I am sure even if that was done , there would be ways around it. sadly in motorsport a lot of the time, well infact nearly always, the boys with the top kit come out on top. Look at Mercedes in the f1, the motogps, speedway over the years as well. There was a stage when even Rickardssons bikes looked massively faster than anothers bikes in the GPs.

Isnt he the old drip who does/used to do the announcing at Berwick?

Cant say nothing bad unless it suits Trees , as proved time and time again.

Fully applaud the Plymouth promotion this year , have just got on with things despite some expected poor results and seem to be thriving. If they can get Barker back as well , they have a superb basis for a team next year. I am sure if hes banging in huge scores at home each week, his away form will improve as well. What average would Crump be on next season?

Mad to think its been over 8 years since I attended a GP in Cardiff but would be mad to move it. Bang in the middle of the city , brilliant day out and usually pretty good event as a whole.

Exactly right, people thinking the current crop are set for huge things because their beating eachother in the UK leagues are dreaming. Fair play to Lambert and Bewley, they went abroad and stuck at it and are reaping the rewards. Staying in the UK with the odd under 21's meeting abroad will do nothing to improve them.

A few of them did get Swedish experience in their teens abroad - Appleton regularly went to NZ and Sweden whilst Allen and Stead were always abroad riding.

I remember the likes of Stead, Howe, Neath, Brady, Appleton, Allen to name a few being much more competitive in a stronger second tier and all having much more ability than the current crop and how many of them went on to be better than at best a good second string in the top tier? Thats not a dig at any of them either before anyone starts. Just what people expected of them . Then you have Kennett and Bridger too. I actually agree with Daniel Smith… our future on the world stage looks very bleak.

If the beer is watered down then yes youd hundred percent want to pay less.

Nicholls still absolute class even at his age, what an absolute credit to Uk speedway he has been. A fair few of these Aussies could take a leaf out of his book Be a very sad day when he calls it a day.

How clubs thought crowds would rocket after covid is a madness, surely theyd know fans pockets would be tighter than ever after a world wide crisis?

Gjedde brilliant for Newport too. Superb. Dont think Chris Holder would be the answer for Sheffield either. Shadow of the rider he was

The changing of heats/laps etc is a typical BSPA change... changing something that doesn't need thinking. A completely new governing body full of young, enthusiastic people with visions of making the sport value for money is what is needed to replace that berk Godfrey and his following. Where you find these people I do not know.

Stonehewer, Nicki Pedersen, Henriksson, Wato , Iversen. As said by others though, could be different if asked tomorrow.

It has of course but he is still beating the top boys in both leagues. What is his actual 2021 championship average, anybody know?

I remember around 5 years ago he was reserve for Poole and was awful , could only really beat the graded reserves at the time. Very impressive how hes bounced back and become one of the top championship riders again. Will he retire or do one more season I wonder?

Yet again people jumping on this because its Poole.

Crazy.

The furthest Lisa travels is to the job centre to collect her dole , thought most knew that by now!

Bjarne Pedersen maximum anyone?

Dont have a clue? Lol. Your the Poole resident clown since Starman has vanished.

If it wasnt for Mole , Workington would never of returned when they did and Birmingham wouldnt of in the mid 2000’s either.

You on about the one who loved Kurtz when at Poole now does nothing bad slate him since he went to BV? The biggest cringe of them all.
