Terrible night for Chris Holder with two EF's and an exclusion. Looks like it all went wrong in the space of 5 rides. The two he finshed gathered 5 points so when the bike worked he was fine. Pretty sure the powers that be will offer him a permanent wild card anyway. No one else out there with the ability and skill to compete with the top boys and they would give a place to Noddy every time over has beens Ferjan, Lung and Sullivan. Interestingly he did say in yesterdays paper he didn't have the backing to compete at GP level and needed much more sponsorship to get what was needed in place.

Hopefully GB's team will be Nicholls, Harris, Kennett, Richardson and Woffinden. I would not entertain Allen and Stead under any circumstances.

Lets be honest here. Sad to say but both Harris and NIcholls are out of their depth at GP level. Harris especially so. Other than the one off last year at Cardiff what has he done? IMO he should miss out next year. You can't give the best riders 20 metres head start out of the gate and expect to win. A good racer in the EL but that's really it. Ncholls is better and more pro but still lacks what is needed. I think he should be in the series next year, as GB need two riders in the series. Who would the second slot go to? God knows! That's how far GB have slipped on the world stage! Let's hope Woffinden is nurtured along and can enter the series in a couple of seasons. In the meantime we are completely in the speedway wilderness.

He could hire a cheap car for £30.

The Dryml V Lindgren incident was a tough one. Dryml did nothing wrong, and didn't even see Lindgren. The reason I belive that Lindgren got excluded was because he used his elbw as he came through and the ref saw that. Thought Gollob deserved his win. Rode well all night. Correct 4 in the final. Also glad to see a full house. Much bigger crowd there tonight than there was 5 years ago when I was there.

I don't think Gollob altered his line at all. This is where he would have gone on the track regardless of whether Jonsson was there or not. Jonsson ried to go to the outside but clipped Gollobs wheel. Simple as that. Racing incident with no one to blame.

I can't get 1k down from either torrent. Frustrating but never mind. Been using bit toorent less and less recently as it's getting on a bit now and many have switched to Rapidshare where stuff comes down in double quick time.

Think you will find Gollob was gesticulating to the ref not about the race being stopped, but because another rider had fallen because of the bad shape the track was in and he wanted a major grade. The commentators read his anger incorrectly.

The winner is surely Holta, as he won the final. He might not have scored as many points ( which add up for the title at the end of all rounds) as Lindgren but he won the meeting.

Bridgers second season. How many has King had in the EL? I am not Bridgers biggest fan but he has far more talent, and once nurtured correctly could go a long way. King I am afraid won't get much further.

You are kidding, right? He didn't get a sniff a couple of weeks ago on his home track aganist Poole club riders. Never going to be more than a second string/third heat leader.

Daugvapils anyone? Normally pretty dreadful.

Trouble is both are not of the standard. However we will have a couple of Brits because they need to be there for tickets sales for Cardiff. Hopefuly Kennet, Bridger or Woffinden will come through soon.

Everyone has their own opinion and I watched it as much as anyone else. Think Tatum and Co gave their call and others have agreed. I personally didn't and thought it was just a racing incident and unfortunate that the riders touched, causing a very horrific crash. Gollob was leading. He can go where he likes. Hope AJ is OK.

There's been many GPs worse than this. Thought there was plenty to talk about and it came down to Who Dares Wins.

Track a disgrace. Gollob/Jonsson incident I thought was just racing. Don't think there was any malice from Gollob who was leading and went where he wanted. JOnsson was unlucky to get hooked up on Gollobs back wheel trying to switch to the outside. Hope he isn't hurt and will be back quickly. Andersen, Dryml, Iversen, Hancock and Gollob all bit the dust and made the racing so tentative it ruined it as a spectical. Hopefully the riders will all be relatively unscathed and get on with racing on a safe track.

Just been announced that the British GP will be broadcast on SS1HD in HD! Great news and about time!

Belinda Carlisle? Wow thats bad. Who is supporting TPau? Where on earth do they get these has-beens from? Wasn't she a sex addict a few years ago? Might pop around to the stage door during the interval!

I am just wondering if that same sopcast channel shows Swedish league live.

Pretty sure that Sopcast channel is run by a speedway fan broadcasting the meetings because this is now a different TV channel.

Yes it looks like the other meeting is a rain off. Thanks for Sopcast! Just about to start. That TV station that does the streaming doesn't give enough bandwidth to the streaming I could get hardly anything from Rzeszów other than a few seconds then a frozen image, then more buffering. Better to wait a couple of days then watch it.

Looks like the heavens have opened for the live meeting!!! That is rain!

Cracking meeting from Poznan. Thought Bydgoszcz had it in the bag with a couple of heats to go.

I use: http://www.soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport Then click on the speedway sopcast link and it automatically opens the correct channel.

Currently live is Poznan v Bydgoscz on Sopcast channel Channel - 20077
