Kurtz apparently has bikes over there and Holder has to drive his to the meeting. That's the story anyway.

???? Belle Vue Website says Wright. SpeedwayGB website says Bjerre. Top notch as usual!

SpeedwayGB website this morning says Lasse Bjerre guesting for Belle Vue and not Charles Wright. RR for Fricke & Harris. Pity it's not full teams but should be a close match.

I thought it was 8?

Is Niklas Porsing riding for Rospiggarna tonight. Thought I read somewhere that he was injured?

Cheers R+R. Can they use all riders in Poland for RR including their top average rider. Assume that's Zmarzlik?

Who will replace Stal Gorzows injured riders? Very tough to beat Wroclaw with a weakened team?

Nice one. Cheers

Well it's confirmed that Greg is now out for the season. If Greg decides he's riding next year then I believe he is the most deserving EVER of a Wild Card and it should be a given he gets one. However, it is entirely possible that he will decide to get out on top. i suppose he'll know after his operation.

With the Play off final dates much later than expected, does this mean the League cut off date will be extended so that all clubs can fulfill their fixture list? No reason to cram all meetings in before 6th September now surely???? Play off semis probably 18th & 25th September so cut off could easily be put back to 11th or 13th September?

Any news on riding order?

Any idea who will replace him?

Hans Anderson must love the 30-60 scoreline. Lejonen thumped at home tonight in Sweden.

I thought it was a really good meeting and a fab final. Just watched it as I had to record and thoroughly enjoyed it. Brilliant sport.

Any news on riding order yet for both sides?

Sky Speedway V BT Speedway? From my point of view I haven't really noticed much difference in quality from one to the other. Yes, maybe an odd battle at the back has been missed but maybe that's inexperience. I obviously don't watch it as technically as some and I'm happy with the programme. I hope BT stick with it and I do think the overall show is better. Sky are primarily interested in Football and all other sports are a foot note (TBF F1, Cricket & Golf are well supported). However, I'm not a Pearson fan when it comes to commentary, but you can't argue with his enthusiasm and at least Sudden Sam (loved him as a rider) is nowhere near. BT gets thumbs up from me whether they improve or not. If they do it's win win IMO.

Now the teams are set until the end of the season, I think Rye House could make the play offs. Kings Lynn are imploding and Poole are very poor at the moment. If KK kicks into form they have a team. It's def an if though.

Tungate is top notch tonight. He's the main difference with Bewley.

Dave said in the broadcast Rune Holta was a good choice for reserve tonight. I think False Dawn was asking if they could choose "Reserves"? Apologies if I'm wrong. I understand reserves are the lowest 2 averages in the team?

Great match tonight. Seems the track is OK.

As it's on the banned list Laguta has no defence. However, I can't see how Meldonium would enhance the performance of a Speedway rider

I 100% agree. Move OK. Tape Touch out

I think there may be more than normal to start with, but all changes no matter which sport need time to bed in.

You may well be correct R&R and if so it would be counter productive. I do think it would be worth trialling in a few meetings though? Maybe in a track individual meeting with no "real" title at risk.

Interesting. Why would it become a farce? As long as riders avoid the tapes they would be OK! Why do you think there would be a lot of re-runs? The reason for my question was to cut out re-runs due to unsatisfactory starts!
