I am ok with 2 gp’s in a weekend, but I could easily change my view if a rider couldn’t compete the 2nd night due to injury. That could have happened at Wroclaw with Emils second accident. He must be badly bruised but it could have been much worse. Points system, still wavering between the two systems. Current system gives a chance to someone who suffered an engine failure a chance to do really well - I like that. The race between Fricke and Doyle was very intense, loved it. Madsen, four years ago I thought he was just a fast starter, but now appreciate he is a racer that will mix it as well as being a good gater. As for Laguta, he is just a fast starter, put him in the mix and he pulls out. Would be bad for him to be world champ.

Give them the right track conditions and these Speedway gladiators always give an amazing performance.

He changed bike. Wonder why he didn’t do it earlier. Strange.

Add……. Nice house, still earning good money to add to pension pot. interesting to watch last night when Robert Lambert was winning and Tai was at the back. I wonder what each was thinking? I didn’t agree with Madson being excluded, and didn’t agree that Janowski wasn’t excluded - both situations with Emil. And Tai could have stayed upright in the earlier race (IMO). Apart from some very good races, including Madson going from last to first, overall the racing was below par. I reckon the track tonight will be completely different……. For the better I hope.

Was it one of the Boococks, perhaps Nigel, that was testing out a BSA B50 engine (500cc) in a speedway bike.

Back in the 70’s I think Crewe had Saturday morning sessions for grass track bikes. Cheshire was a good area for grass meetings and by holding open sessions Crewe were no doubt benefitting from the potential. Maybe how Barry Meeks came to be riding for them, he was good on grass.

Does methanol burn cooler too.

Sorry I posted.

If the rule is that a W card for a gp has to be riding under the flag of the host nation that is fine with me. …………. Until one nation has multi gps in a year. Then that nation should only have one gp where the rule applies. For the other gps in that country a rider from any other nation can be selected. That spreads the privilege around a bit.

Whatever the doctor was doing, Drabik took into his body, he should have been aware, his body is his responsibility. We can all say Yes or No. In the meantime his peers, Smektala, Robert Lambert and Kubera are getting much needed experience.

What a mess he has made of his career. I presume non of this affects his under 21 world championship he won.

It really a fan of Marketa stadium and Friday evening/Sunday afternoon hasn’t changed anything. It because it’s a GP and the riders will give it everything that saves the event being a complete non event. Some of the racing was sensational, most of it pretty much standard, bordering boring. It seems no one has a super fast engine. Madsen , Freddie and Emil usually fly when in the lead. Just pretty standard over the two meetings. Ok, Zmarzlik pulled out a big lead in one race, so did Laguta and Janowski. Perhaps with all the good tuners about the standard of tuning is equalising, so negating it. Still not too sure about this points system. Already seems a big lead between 1st and 2nd and that’s just after two meetings. It is what it is, suppose will get used to it.

It will be interesting to see how crowds are affected by “freedom day”. Wife has been shopping this morning to 2 super stores. Virtually all shoppers wearing masks, and all store staff were. She noticed majority of people still staying a safe distance apart. Seems some folks not rushing to be part of 50,000 people getting COVID symptoms each day, and growing.

Anyone know anything about willstaxi ? He/She has always done good race cards for the big event, nice format. He/she not been on the forum since Oct 20th 2020.

Not checked any other rider, but spotted Woffinden is no 14 both nights.

With some weekends having 2 championship rounds last year it was a random draw. Presume it will be same again.

Be good if Chugunov, wc at Wroclaw, could repeat of better his efforts of last year, he did really well. 7 points in the first round on Friday, then got to semis on the Sat second round.

Ah right, so the organisers pick. Shame that, the SEC is strong enough for the runner up to have the place. Not too sure about the Challenge finals where top 3 go through. But didnt Craig Cook come 4th in the Challenge and get a GP season entry from that position.????

If Madsen wins and then finishes in top 6 in GP's dies 2nd place in Euros get the place.?? I hope Madsen wins, thats gets him into GP 2022, means he can relax and enjoy his racing and hopefully win 2021 WOrld Champ. Make up for the year he come 2nd (2019) when he had no fuel in his tank in one of the races, got 0 race points, yet lost championship by 2 to Zmarzlik

Sorry, in my mind we already on holiday - its been so long, its tomorrow we go on hols and yes I knew the meeting was Saturday evening,

Going to miss this tonight, going away on holiday (in the UK) and will be in the Premier In restaurant when it kicks off. Dont think the wife would appreciate me taking the ipad into the dining place. Presume it will get on You Tube sometime soon.

Good choice, I like to see up and coming youngsters given a chance. Tut!

I was supporting WayToGo, whats wrong with that. He has a health problem he is managing and it good to give support, we all need support at times.Not everyone listens to what you and your maties spout. WTGo has health problems that he is trying to manage, he mentioned it on this thread, so I try to give him some support, I dont see you or the others giving anyone any support your only those who think as you do,

As they numbers contacting COVID and admitted to hospital increases, currently about 28,000 each day, and thoughts are could increase to 50,000 per week and more, those who have had 2 jabs do not seem to be getting severe COVID, but it is expected the number of long COVID sufferers, which seems nasty, will increase. Deaths will increase, unfortunately, but not to high figures as in the past. So taking precautions, is taking responsibility into our own hands and acting sensibly. I hope there are not too many who think all defences down because the government says we can, COVID is not listening to governments or anybody else. Learning to live with it means learning to manage to coexist with it.
