RIP Big Al.

Hard to keep up with current score. They don’t ever have it on graphics. Edit 43-34. Germans now win to move into Polish league 1 for next season.

You know, it seems like Opole just don’t want it. How many times should they/could they have got this? Tapes exc, ef, falls, almost purposely drifting out to wide to let an opposition rider through…..

Could be close! Are tacs allowed?

Brilliant heat one! what was first leg score?

I hope not next Sunday unless it’s early afternoon. I am seeing Level 42 at Bournemouth Pavilion at 7 pm Sunday 10th.

Woffinden saying he is now “fired up” A bit late Tai. Afraid the boat has already sailed on anymore world titles.

Lol! You know what? I do that at Poole as well as I sit behind the riders.

First ever Russian World Champion. Talk about balls of steel after a terrible start to the meeting. Nothing against Zmarzlik at all but Poland are so dominant in world speedway we must have other nations victorious.

Magnificent Artem. And pure sportsmanship and congratulations from Zmarzlik. Fabulous.

Next two rides by Laguta are the most important of his career. In fact the next ride is!

Laguta needed that. I was blowing him out of the gate! Didn’t help his cause coming out after every track grade.

Laguta croaking badly. Too much for him to handle. A shame if he loses it but that’s speedway!

I have said before that if you want to save a fortune on subscriptions, sportsmania on IPTV is the place to go. Costs me approx £70 a year with every channel in 4k or HD. No buffering.

As tracks haven’t started working until 2/3rds into a meeting, this could be a very good thing.

Just speculation.

You must have left after the first few heats of the Poole meeting. No racing in that one whatsoever!

We have no fear of Leicester, but they rode here on Wednesday so my thoughts are the winner of the other quarter final.

There isn’t one. Clear as day.

Agree. Means every point is important. Didn’t Zmarzlik win a GP with 8 points into the semi?

Not really. Leigh was a great rider but never got too close to individual glory. Russia has been stripped of its key identifying markers like a flag or a national anthem, due to doping ban.

Third in a semi would be enough I believe.

Brilliant Artem. Just brilliant.

Adams was a brilliant riders but on the world stage never had that real killer attitude. Same goes for Emil. Though personally I believe Adams was a better rider than Emil is.

That’s because he really isn’t good enough when it matters. But like Leigh Adams.
