Just read in a morning paper online re Silverstone, adults will have to had the double jab or tested negative. Not yet agreed how to handle children.

Thought I read on BSF Wolverhampton may have to close due to low crowd restriction. Open up the other parts of the stadium and get more people in, the safe limit is sure to go up if more can be accommodated as it is a %age basis.

Probably need some work, so they rather close down.

I read today it is classed as a test, just like Snooker world championship was at Sheffield, the tennis to come at Wimbledon to come next week, football at Wembley. There are pre conditions attached. Earliest for speedway is going to be Monday 19th July, as the next date the government is still considering - but it has not been confirmed.

I can remember watching great GP racing last year but can’t remember seeing full crowded stadium. In fact some early ones it was very sparse crowd.

Maybe as Dan is Poland based he will be ok.

So sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and all the family.

Moto GP has one more GP then they have a summer break, must have done at least 8 GP already. F1 same as, probably 8 GP’s already. Why has Speedway GP’s not even started yet????? Anyone know the reason?

Of course tractors used to park up on the centre green, on safety grounds that’s no longer. Didn’t a rider get killed at Ellesmere Port practice when he lost control of his bike and tangled with the tractor on the centre green. There was a Polish match I was watching on the internet recently when even the start girls walked into the stands rather then the centre green after they had strutted their stuff.

At the same time I hear on the news because of the new variant hospitalisation are going up quickly, deaths a bit more slowly. Also read on the news at lunchtime, in USA they relaxed on wearing masks but instances of cold and flu going up. Think I will be wearing a mask come the winter, that’s if we not wearing already.

I was really impressed by Tom Brennan’s performance last night. I would think Dan’s best bikes were in Poland. After his early rides I did think he wasn’t going to get through. Luke Becker impressed me as well.

Comparing Tai to Kolodzeij is a bit odd. Tai was a youngster when he was in his first go series, Kolodzeij must be in his 30’s, maybe 32? Just checked he is actually 37. He has had 2 full GP season, 2011 and 2019, finishing 14 th both times, despite the win in Czech gp in 2019. In that year he was down at the bottom with Lindback. I like Kolodzeij style of riding, all I saying was 2019, and I know he won a GP, the rest of the year he was mostly rubbish. I know he has a good record and been Polish champ, which is really good considering standard of racers in Poland, but 2019 ? Why has he not appeared on the World team championship in the last few years? Seems his really good years were early-mid 2000’s.

But he was rubbish last time he was in the GP series, which wasn’t so long ago. He is like Lindback was, brilliant or rubbish.

What is it with Kolodzeij, when he is on it he is brilliant, otherwise he is tail end Charlie.

I had problems, logged on ok at 6pm, the time it stated it was open and all I got was FIM logo and Starting Soon. 6:35 I sent a message via their contact list, got a quick reply saying stream will start 20 minutes before tapes up, didn’t know what time tapes were going up. Eventually got picture half way through rider announcement. Was ok until first batch of adverts came up, after heat 4 I think, vision but no sound. Because of the accident we’re at tractor grading, so see how second half goes. Haven’t a clue what heat were on, no graphics to say whose at the starting tapes. A downloadable race card should be available with the stream. Hope this accident break counts as the interval, I presume ambulance has gone to hospital and waiting for it to return. A good race track so.. Not 100% for the stream tonight, more the admin behind it. Camera positions are ok.

Nagyalasz looks the easiest round but that gets 4 through!

Slight difference in class of riders between a GB championship meeting and a SpeedwayGP qualifier. I know it doesn’t guarantee better racing, but you paying to cover costs of getting 18 riders from different countries and other running costs.

Peculiar that you not mentioned what Allen Emetts current plight is, are we meant to guess?

Do you remember the saying “sticks and stones …….…” you want everyone to follow “you”……..what name would it be then…….. “plonkers”

Well if that is Scottish fans it shows why some parts of Scotland are on more sever restrictions then others, and like England their end of restriction date has been put back. If people want restrictions lifted they got to act responsibly to get figures down, just follow the guidelines. Easy

And the source of information please

That is worrying. To have access to Eurosport 1 and 2 and not be able to see speedway. Next year Speedway GP needs a new tv platform as BT won’t have the contract, Eurosport COULD take over, you could pay to view Eurosport and perhaps not be able to see it. Certainly something to be conscious of.

Thanks R&R for the link. Good meeting. Well done Dan, quite impressive. Seem Russia has a new star in Tarashenko, anyone know how old he is? Glad Madsen does not seem badly injured, Mikelson was a bit naughty there, but it was an all action race. Madsen did very well to win that rerun. Good track, but got a wide line everyone wanted.

Couldn’t get to sleep last night, about 00.10am today I was flicking tv channels and landed on Quest and they were showing Peterborough v Wolves match, unexpected viewing.

But there is a 5 camera stream, that should be decent. and this in attendance have to go through track and trace.
