and the Poles.

Not seen him gate so consistently well before. Great.

We got bike history back on at the start.

It was done the day before when it started a few years ago. Problem was some riders were racing in Poland Friday evening and were not allowed to go to the Gp, so they had what gates were left. Not satisfactory and don’t think it would be agreed with the new management. Of course, we here have been advocating put locals riders out for about four races, but qualifying as it is now must account for 14 races or so. It is not helpful.

Making the beared grow. Yuk

Gate 3 has produced awful results tonight.. 12 races and 1 second, the other 11 are 3rd or 4th. Dans coming out on gate 3.

Maybe not this year, too early, but Dan is doing extremely good. I was impressed how he rode in Prague, and he is doing the job again.

Ah I see, tai must be putting faith in Dans future, passing on his top mechanic.

If you mean previous GP’s…….. I must have missed him

Now topped by Zmarzlik. It’s still going on.

Where has Tais regular mechanic gone to? The tall thin guy.

Brits 1st, 4th and 5th in timed qualifying so far.

Watching Teterow qualifying times. Looking at the stadium I reckon Workington could have a GP next year with not much more work.

Thanks. Still seems good value if that’s what you want to watch.

What is Premier showing….. the GP’s. If it is the GP’ and they show 10 for example, that would cost £7 per GP….. that would be a bargain in my mind.

Thanks for that, a lot of new news there. I signed up for BT Broadband 18 months ago (2 year contract) with BT Sport when they had the speedwayGP and MotoGP. Up for renewal late Jan 2023. Now they only have MotoGP ….. which I love, but I love SpeedwayGP too, so I tool out a Discovery+ offer of 12 month half price (£29.99) so I can see SpeedwayGP live. Just want this lot to sort out by next Jan so I can take out a broadband package and hopefully SpeedwayGP and MotoGP viewing all for less then I pay now. If I have to save money, and that looks likely, I would have to ditch the MotoGP package, and hopefully be able to watch it Tuesday evening in a condensed 1 hour program covering Motogp1, Moto2, and Moto3. Hopefully MotoGP will be integrated into Discovery+ so I get to see it all, hopefully for a realistic price. Lot still up in the air.

At today Moto GP in Mugello, Italy tickets in the grandstand were over £200, elsewhere round the track around £100. Expected crowd was 100,000, the actual crowd was reported at around 40,000. Over the last 2 years businesses have lost a lot of revenue during lockdown, but the public are not complete idiots, they not going to pay overinflated prices to compensate lost income. Same with holidays in the uk, prices shot up this year. Now booking absents are cutting prices to try to get places filled. What they should have done is keep price rises moderate so families will take a uk holiday, see what beautiful countryside and good amenities there are in the uk so they will book again next year. But greed set in.

He rode very well, like we know he can when things are right for him. I like him, and hop he does well this year. Got to keep injury free though. re Bewley’s fall. I agree with what has been said…. The ref didn’t red flag it until the end of that lap so the race could be declared finished. The result was certain at that point so a good call. I remember few years ago Woffys frame breaking at the headstock too. And it happened to me in a grass track in my younger days…… that was a rough field that day. Not nice head butting the ground though. I hear today that the F1 future races in Monaco are under threat. New owners for the series, just like in speedway, they now weeding out circuits that don’t give good racing. But in relation to Monaco, the new F1 owners don’t have a lot of control of the actual organising of the event, so loose out on a lot of revenue.

It doe not get better at Marketa does it? Racing was poor, very poor, this year. The riders are up for it, but if the track doesn’t come to them it’s a bore. I was particularly impressed with Dan Bewley. We know the potential is there, but I thought last night he released some of it. IMO he rode intelligently, making the right moves in the right way at the right time. He looked different last night, a move obviously in the right direction. On the other hand, We know Robert Lambert has the potential, but it is as if his thought process is stuck in a rut. It could be said the track last night was not helping him, true, but Dan was more inventive with his moves and it worked. Looking forward to next weeks GP. I took the 12 month subscription with Discovery+ when the half price offer was on, £30 for the 12 month, good value just for the Speedway GPs, but they are covering loads of sports, WSBk, loads of films and documentaries, but having difficulty getting the logic of negotiating their program planner. Just can’t get my head around any logic to find a program. My biggest grumble with it. Coverage of GPs is really good, IMO

This is the usual place the race card is (click the heading) but if you look at the last two posts the indication we may not get a race card with riders names and previous score entered. Keep checking, if the kind guy cannot complete the race card it will be a diy job.

Qualifying on track now finished, riders need to choose their preferred gate.

Only Zmarzlik under 15sec for the fastest lap. Lambert 2nd, Bewley 5th, Woffy 9th…. so far. It continues. Ow Frocke just under 15s but in second place.

Madsen now second fastest.

Zmarzlik is now the fastest, Fricke second.

Not yet determined. The riders are at the stadium 12.19pm and they are part way through qualifying. Fastest riders has first pick of what number he wants to ride.
