You have got to be joking, right? An Aussie gating tart in place of a yong up and coming Brit? Never in a million years. You think Schlein would be more popular than Kennet or Stead?

A bit of luck and third! Andersen shoved out Crump to allow Harris third. Excellent from the Cornishman. Well done Harris!

Excellent racing from Harris. The track tonight suits him perfectly. Shame most of the time it will be a lot slicker. Now if he can just make the rostrum.............

Who do you suggest takes his place? The Munchkin?

This has happened to Lindback twice bfore when he has failed to score in a GP. Still he turned up at Poole the following week and scored double figures. You think he would score 3-4 points a meeting in the EL? he would soon be rattling in double figures every week. remember last year in the Panthers/Pirates meeting when he raced JBJ for the bonus? Still all there. Just needs a bit of time. You don't become a bad rider overnight. Sooner he gets back to the EL the better.

I didn't expect anything from him but they way some were carrying on last GP you would have thought he had won it!

In his first GP Chris Harris didn't impress me and I said so. Failed to make the semi and whilst some on here were raving and going overboard, I thought he had a quiet start to the series. Tonght Harris is well worthy of praise. Still failing to gate but using the dirt line to his advantage. I type this as Harris has one more race left before the semis, but he has done enough tonight to deserve his plaudits. Well done to the lad.

Well the Italian GP had a local no hoper on board. So the Italian speedway federation must have some clout! I am sure who the BSPA/Middlo suggest will be the rider who will be picked.

Personally having wathed both riders for the last three years, Kennett is the better rider of the two. Or should I say "potential". The way Kennett is coming on this season, i feel that within a couple of months he will be in front of Stead in the averages anyway. The lad is showing real improvement on a bike and in any many other teams would probably be riding at 1 or 5. He can gate and he can pass. Like Stead he has ridden in the British GP before, a couple of seasons ago, but he is a whole straight better than he was back then and will bring something extra to the gP compared to Stead, who has yet to really step up to the mark. A tough call for Middlo, but to be honest, even if Kennett was not riding for Poole, if he went for the youngster it would not be a wrong call at all.

Well here's a bt of a dilema for Middlo. Who to name as the GB wildcard for Cardiff. Does he give Simon Stead another chance or up and coming Eddie Kennett? Being Biased I would like to see Kennett get the nod. He is on fire at the moment and deserves a chance to taste the world stage. Others will say Stead has a higher average and is carrying his team. What are your thoughts?

Harris couldn't even pass Troy Batchelor at Poole last week. Or Boyce. Didn't even win a heat. I am certainly not doing Harris a disservice. He scored OK on Saturday, a similar performance to Poole last Monday, but not worthy of high praise IMO. If he had made the semi, well it would have been an acheivement. As it was, he failed. But then we are used to failure in this country, and accept a 7 point haul from 5 rides as a brilliant debut. I want Harris to do well, but let's be realistic about Saturday.

I agree with that statement. But to go overboard and say he had a good GP is stretching it way too far. He wasn't embarressed, but didn't do anything either. Lets be realistic here. Of course I want him to do well, but last night wasn't anything to write home about or start a thread over. Just my opinon of course.

Wow Chris Harris posts under the name of BeesFan! Hopefully you will do better next time Chris. Trouble is if you have been watching the GP's, you will know there's no GPs with plenty of dirt on them.

Well done for what though? He failed to make the semis. If he had managed that I would be congratulating him on a good effort. But like NIcholls, there wasn't much for him to celebrate yesterday. Hopefully other GP tracks will suit his type of riding where you give the opposition 10 metres headstart in every race. Nothing lastnight to congratulate IMO.

I don't see how some can say it was a good GP. It was terrible rubbish for most of the night, bar a couple of heats.

Well I thought the meeting last night was dire in the extreme. Poor track, poor racing. Small crowd, lack of atmosphere and totally flat overall. But then that's what you mostly get at Lonigo. Well done to Pedersen on the win. Best rider by a mile last night. Hopefully there will be a new WC this year, or at least a more exciting series, helped no doubt by the new scoring methods. From a Poole perspective Bjarne had a mare. Very unfortunate to be excluded in his first when it looked like Jonsson had touched the tapes even though Bjarne moved forst, then losing his chain in the next when in second. Won't have such a bad GP as this probably for the rest of the year. Crump, well I don't follow his individual efforts so I didn't care if he made the final or not. Seemed slow and was never in contention to win. For the Brits, well it's "as you were", with not a hope of either making a final in 2007. Nicholls certainly not. Seems to have no savvy on the first bend, even when gating. Harris "might" make a final if the track is set up for racers, but as we all know, that is highly unlikely. Of the pretenders to the title, Andersen was poor and was lucky to make a semi at one stage. Never got a sniff of a final berth. Adams rode better but as usual he just doesn't have that extra bit to make the difference. Jagus rode well but won't be in the mix come the shakedown. Hancock did well, carrying on from where he left off in 2006. Funny that he can't show the same form for his British club. So NP coasted to an easy win. A crap GP though, and hopefully things can only get better racing wise.

Hi Mateusz, no there doesn't seem to be any Polish stuff on those online channels.

I was hoping Polsat was available online but it doesn't look like it is going through the sofware I have to watch premiership football matches etc ( PPLIVE, Sopcast, TV Ants, PPStream, TVUPlayer)

Would be great if they did a swap deal.

Best of luck. I think the track will come into its own in the winter months with warm weather training sessions from November through to March.

Nice to see a Poole 1-2.

Easy. Fly direct from Stanstead to Bydgoszsz with Ryanair. You have a choice of hotels. City Hotel(good choice), Pod Orlem(the best), Brda(OK). All within walking distance of the stadium. Book early as soon as the date is confirmed to get a cheap flight.

Don't know his name but he certainly knows th sport. Good interview with Greg Hancock.

Think the commentator is excellent. very whitty. At the end of one heat he said, "well this is a very exciting close heat, only 5.6 seconds between winner and second place". Very good stream though. Clear and uninterupted in Windows Media Player
