Why is it OK to think of putting Darcy in, as an adopted Brit. If you put him in, just leave the Brit part out. Whats the difference. Then if the British fans can accept that, then go one step further. Pick the best 16 riders. Leave nationality out. After all it is an individual world championship. Its F1 not A1GP If the best 16 give you a more exciting GP then more Sky viewers will watch then more TV advertisers will be attracted. I agree with snyper.

I will go and have a look

Ronnie Moore

It should be the best 16 riders in the world at the end of this season. If they all came from one country who cares. You are seeing the 16 best ride against each other. Thats what a World Champion should be, the best not the manufactured best. is there anyone out there that can come up with the top 16 using british, swedish, polish etc league averages, individual meetings for this season (not including SGP and SWC averages) that will give you the best most consistant 16 for next season.

If you made winning the u21 World championship an automatic entry to the GP Make the GP Challenge the old world qualifying rounds where every rider competes to reach the challenge final and the top 7 would go through with the U21 champion and the top 8 Im unsure how to include the bottom 8 from the current SGP riders in this.

17-18 year olds up to 21 year olds can be Under 21 World Champions and will have a series of their own next season, if you take all the best riders out of that series that will be under strength. The 250cc world Championship, will start soon, and you have enough British talent there at the moment.If the best British riders are in the under 21 bracket then this is where SGB should put all of there resources, and over time the British scene will strengthen and British riders will come though the system in numbers not one every now and again. What you have all got to come to terms with is there are at least 20 world class riders that are better than the best British rider at the moment, it would do British speedway the world of good to not have a rider there next year.

Yes it's Jason.

Ask him what it was like team riding with Ronnie Moore, Peter Craven. Who was his best partner. Then riding with Chris Julian. The dragging clutch Fundin got him to change after a world final practice. The shadow he blocked in a world final. The court action riding for Wolves.

Thought there was a no smoking policy in the stadium

I agree with you, we have a similar problem here, while the age groups are there for a very good reason, there needs to be exceptions to allow the obvious talented ones through to the bigger bikes. Maybe the riders they ride against need to be at a certain level also, so they aren't put up against wobblers. On the other hand is the aussie system working because the boys have to stay on the 125's for so long, they are after all harder to ride than the bigger bikes.

Keep mine the same.

So the question that does need to be asked, will BSPA learn from this and be better prepared next time...............

no changes for me

Stay same as before

Does anyone have 250 engine for sale? PM me

Good move in my opinion, I've tried for 4 years to get NZ to recognise this class. There's a purpose built bike sitting there, we need to use it. Making An FIM championship for it will encourage the move. I thought it was a Gold Trophy for 2010 and as other classes have will move to a World Championship from there. Junior speedway in general, needs to standardise worldwide. The small track set up is obviously working in Aussie, we are at last moving that way.

Two Titles Decided After Saturday night's rain, the finals of the New Zealand Sidecar and Solo champs were run in warm sunny conditions at the Robertson Holden International Speedway. Les Plummer & Kervin Demanser went one better than last season, taking the NZ Sidecar Champs in a run-off, while Englishman Jason Bunyan successfully defended his NZ Solo title. After the disappointment of the mechanical gremlins on Friday night, Palmerston North's Jade Mudgway arrived ready to show he is one of the country's top prospects, by aiming for a top-four place. In the Sidecars the battle would be to see if the three Australian combinations which made the final 16 would be able to match the top kiwi combinations. NZ Solo Champs It was clear from the first heat that three-time and current champion Jason Bunyan (Milton Keyes, England) would be the rider to beat. Bunyan headed Mudgway in the first race. Auckland’s Dylan Moohan and two star riders from Christchurch Andrew Aldridge and legend Larry Ross, a nine time former titleholder, were the other first round winners. Ross beat another favourite Craig Ramsay in his heat. Ramsay led the way in the second round with a win, with Bunyan looking unbeatable, beating last years runner up Larry Ross. Aldridge and Mudgway won the other heats. Bunyan won his third race, this time beating Aldridge by the length of the straight. Mudgway then put himself right in the hunt for a podium finish with a tight fought win over Larry Ross with both riders side by side for the first lap before Mudgway broke away. 15 year-old Aucklander Sean Mason showed he has potential with a win in the third round as well. Points after 3 rounds: Bunyan 9, Mudgway 8, Ramsay 8, Aldridge 8, Ross 7, Dylan Moohan (Auckland) 6. Apart from the top spot which continued to appear a formality for Bunyan, the minor placings were turned on their heads in round four. Mudgway won his third straight race beating Mason, while Larry Ross kept on track winning his heat as well. Southland’s John Tuffley won his first heat, but further back Ramsay and Aldridge did their chances of a top finish plenty of harm when they both finished fourth and without points in their heats. Points after 4 rounds: Bunyan 12, Mudgway 11, Ross 10, Aldridge 8, Ramsay 8, Moohan 7. Bunyan put the title beyond doubt with an easy win over the hard chasing Mason. Christchurch’s Sean Cox won his first race of the final, while Larry Ross guaranteed himself third overall. The biggest moment in Mudgway’s young career started perfectly as he easily won the start against Aldridge and Ramsay. Despite a few nervous moments as he listened for any strange noises in his bike, Mudgway underlined his potential with a big win against strong opponents. Bunyan was ecstatic with his win and although he’s an Englishman at the moment, it is probable he will shortly become a New Zealander, already owning a house in Auckland. Mudgway put the gut wrenching feeling he had on Friday behind him with a bigger performance by finishing runner up, celebrating by doing a wheel stand down the straight. For Larry Ross it continues a career that also includes a World Team title at White City with great Ivan Mauger. NZ Sidecar Champs The first shock of a meeting full of them came in the opening heat when favourite John Hannan and Jason Wallis got a poor start, only managing third place behind Australian stars Gary Moon-Mick Ing and the Truuts brothers Sefton and Clint. Other wins in the opening round went to Nathan Ching-Dallas Kelman (Nelson), Craig Scott-Tony Hirini (Wanganui) and Palmerston North’s Russell Stuart-Andrew Parker who beat last years runner up Les Plummer and Kervin Demanser (Hawke’s Bay). Moon went to the top of the points after another win in the second round with Plummer a point behind along with Scott. Australian duo Joshua Sinnott-Hamish Golding showed the Aussies were there to race by winning as well. It all turned to custard for Moon in the third round when he lost control went wide, spun and rolled as he was hit by a following bike. The race was halted for a considerable time with Moon’s swinger Ing prone on the ground after a bike had rolled on top of him. He was eventually taken by ambulance to Palmerston North hospital. The Sinnott-Golding team put themselves in the battle for the title with a win while Stuart and Parker got back on track after a crash in the second round. Hannon and Wallis finally won a race, but a third and second previously left them needing results to go their way. Truuts, Ramsay, Stuart and Sinnott won the fourth round races tightening up the top with one race remaning. Points after 4 rounds: Plummer-Demanser 9, Stuart-Parker 9, Ramsay-Hislop 8, Sinnott-Golding 8, Hannon-Wallis 8. Stuart guaranteed himself a runoff at the least, winning the first race of the final round, but Plummer’s win meant a runoff for the title between the two. The same happened in the last heats with Ramsay grabbing a good win as did Sinnott. The runoffs were tight with Ramsay beating Sinnott at the start and holding on despite a major challenge from Sinnott. Stuart got the jump in the runoff for first but Plummer gradually wore him down and took the lead and the title on the second lap giving Plummer and Demanser their first title after numerous placings in their 24 years as a team.

I'd say yes, easy changed here in NZ

His father Len Jelaca also rode in NZ

All the complainers, at what a crap squad, Jim Lynch has chosen and no one has mentioned any other rider to replace any of them.

AJ wasn't going to go inside Gollob. Gollob ran a natural line, block AJ out of the picture for a moment,there was no sudden change of direction. AJ was there. Gollob's line was wide exiting the bend and naturally running in narrow entering the next bend. AJ ran the inside line exiting the bend and all the way up the straight was driving towards Gollob, IMO, probably with the intention to go outside him. Gollob looked saw AJ was getting closer and naturally wanted to enter the next bend in the quickest manner. i.e. the shortest distance. It was hard racing but it was an error of judgement on AJ's part, rather than Gollob putting someone out.
