Fair point marky

Sam Ermolenko states in his book...every rider in the world pre the GP's could wake up on January 1st. and say "I could be World Champion this year" Now only 15 can say that.

I have just finished reading The Sam Ermolenko Story and a really good read it was. My word he had some nasty injuries in his time and his share of bad luck.

I see no reason why he can't remain at the top for a few more years.

Some really nice shots there...very nice indeed. Barring engine failures/falls/exclusions etc. i can see Poland winning every heat.

Speedway every time for me too though I love MotoGP. I was a F1 Stock fan in the 60's but as far as cars go BTCC has the edge over F1.

The F1 grid should be reversed based on the previous race result.

I haven't seen that so can't really comment. However, I can quite believe Nicki saying what Masters has accused him of. Whatever the facts though... , to some people Nicki can do no wrong. To be fair, I feel the same way about Greg (with one obvious exception). I am not defending Masters by the way.

There are those for whom Greg can do no right and for whom Nicki can do no wrong. In the absence of a denial from either Nicki or his entourage the Masters statement is all we have. Everything I have seen or heard of or about Greg and Nicki leaves me in no doubt which is the better person and the more worthy champion.

speedcafe.com has the facts on the Doyle-Pedersen incidents. For all the Nicki lovers...this is what the man is really like.

You tell 'em GRW.

Oh yes...I forgot Warsaw. Still makes Melbourne a huge success though...yes?.

I would have expected a USA GP had it been held this year in LA, particularly with an American as reigning champion to have attracted a bigger crowd than most European GP's. Did not Terenzano have a ridiculous crowd capacity of 4,000. Re costs...would transporting people and equipment to LA not be cheaper than going to Melbourne?.

Does any GP outside of Cardiff attract 27,000?.

Not much if anything to disagree with there my friend. If only they could get that track in to Cardiff it might be worth going. Is not speedway an International sport spanning several continents?. In stead of why Oz...why not the US of A?.

Could have been so much worse. Here's to a speedy recovery for Jason and continued improvement for Darcy.

Whatever happened to politeness and good manners?.

Absolutely 100% correct.

Pity if it's true.

I totally agree... scoring a 21 point maximum in a GP and finishing the year as world no. 2 is so boring

What's with all this Hancock knocking?. Can't people just acknowledge what a superb 20 year record he has?. To score a 21 point max in a GP at 45 years of age merits applause, not the negativity some people are showing.

It is because he is so good he makes it look easy.

In my opinion it's a great pity we can't get that track in to Cardiff. For me the Etihad track had the edge over the Millenium. Is there no way more seats can be removed from Cardiff to increase track size?.

That's good to know...it did look as if the situation could have been quite nasty.

I detect a cynical edge to your comment but I'm with foreverblue on this one.
