SCB

That'd be the BSPA then? Because it's been discussed on here for years!

so your grade b rider gets injured. He's graded b because his average us between 6 and 8. So you use a squad rider on a grade b. how's that different to a 7 pointer getting injured and replaced by a squad rider on a 6 point average? Yet it has the downside Tsunami mentions. Grading is a truly terrible idea.

8700 Euros is about 12k USD so nothing in it.

I bet the riders are really upset at the idea of not being allowed to ride in the SWC!

Good for him for being realistic. I notice i the article about GP rider being banned from the SEC that it says Greg Laguta has been invited into the GPs. Hopefully thats true

Which league was the last to have a club go bust? What problems does the EL have that the PL doesn't?

Does Vaculik winning the SEC title give him a good argument for a wildcard now? Despite his ordinary GP performances?

And last years GP series. He seems to have lost his ruthless naughty-Nicki-ness. He's now a bit boring.

tbf, if you sign a highly talentd young rider mid-season he's going to already have a lot of bookings so will miss lots of meetings

The Wharf in Cardiff Bay (http://www.thewharfcardiff.co.uk/) put the speedway on a few times when it was my (almost) local but they might not with the football being on as they tend to show the football.

if a doctor say he's not fit then he's not fit. Can't argue with a doctors note. I would expect him to ride though.

Fair enough. I see your thinking but can equally see Tais. We know they're all a bit crazy just to race speedway so its no surprise to me he's wanting to ride.

Or maybe just just asked, "How much cash will we get?". Which frankly, would be all Id care about. The sport doesn't know what it doing one season to the next for any club to plan for a future.

If you took that approach you'd not get out of bed in the morning.

If he's confident enough he can outscore Nicki in the SEC then scoring a few to beat Hampel in Poland is going to be simple. As he's been riding in the same state for half a season it hardly seems like a risk to me.

He doesn't fall any more than average. He just gets injured when he does.

Go with Gollob, Holder Laguta and then change the rules and have two wildcards at every GP.

Yet despite not always trying, was still in 8th place when he got injured. Imagine he decides to try next year!

To me tyres is the big thing. They are the rider single point of contact between bike and the ground. Get them right will surely help things.

Fat fingers and smart arse phones!

I'm confused. So Torun had no Gollob but this great squad system everyone claims is great meant they have Kennett and Sullivan right? So where were they? I'm sure I read they had a replacement ready, who was it and why couldn't they ride? Why did Torun refuse to ride? On what grounds and what did they except to achieve? As I said at the start, I'm confused.

I don't get the criticism either. That crash was something you CANNOT legislate for. Better tracks, air fence, air jackets, indicators. Until someone invents the human protector bubble that crash sort of proves, you'll always get injuries.

How many times has someone won the GP series after qualifying? How many times has a wildcard won the GPs? What about podium positions?

I thought rev limiters were being developed for British speedway?

Snooker is hardly a minority sport. Wander down any high street and ask random people to babe a few snooker players and they'll do it quite easily.
