Harris and Nicholls are GP riders and should have top equipment but were not on the pace till near the end. The British team is just no where near good enough.

Great Britain were terrible. Couldn't understand all the fuss about Mondays win and not wanting to go to the race off. Thats 5 years on a trot now the winner has come from the race off. I think they need to look at changing the format as going to the race off is such a big advantage. The only team not to win from the race were the very strong Australian teams.

Poland are so annoying, knew they would win tonight but they should of won easily on Thursday too, cost me a lot of money with their messing about in the first 5 heats on Thursday and then not using the joker.

Wonder if Nicholls had Poole 2004 in his mind in heat 25 tonight when he passed Andersen to stop Denmark getting at least a raceoff.

Can't understand why Poland have replaced Balinski with Holta, Balinsky did quite well on Thursday.

Think the bookies won quite a lot tonight. Poland were terrible over the 5 heats or so, if they had ridden like they did at the end of the meeting they would have won easily.

Skybet and Sporting Odds got them up now.

Half an hour to go and with the lack of lineups none of the bookies are doing any rider matchups, heat betting etc.

Think it will be Poland and Australia. But part of me thinks don't rule the Swedes out. Remember in 2003 I think when Rickardsson got injured and they replaced him with Ljung and they still got through and won the final. But don't think it will happen again. Think the Russians will do better then Monday on a big track but not good enough to qualify. Should be good meeting, normally one of the best of the year.

Georgie Thompson from Sky Sports News hosts the race off and final on Thursday & Saturday, should be interesting to see what she knows about speedway. http://www.cameroncole.com/cgi-bin/imageFo...eorgie_Thompson http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtm...28/cmfame28.xml

Yes they did, Sky announced twice that the start had been delayed due to crowd trying to get in and they showed the queues outside, racing didn't start until just before 8pm.

No you can't, best alternative was on Skybet, hosts to win event 1, 2 & raceoff at 5/2. The first two have happened, just need Poland to win on Thursday now.

Won quite a lot of Russia to beat USA at 23/20. Did a lot of heat betting, won quite a few but two riders cost me quite a bit of money, Jonas Davidsson and Peter Karlsson! Davidsson was unbelieveable and Karlsson was very inconsistent.

Whats the delay? Now 19.35 and only just started doing the parade. Suppose to be finished at 22:00 on Sky, definatly going to run over.

Good grief don't you read? Been answered several times on several topics. Max for AJ. Hamill has never been in the USA squad this year.

Definatly, I've said a few times the Russians will surprise quite a lot of people.

I don't know officially but think it would probably be run Tuesday.

I know Jan comes on here occasionally, but he has posted this on the speedway list : Hi everyone, I may be biased, but I’m also honest: We had no say in how the track was prepared. Actually all the guys in the team prefer some dirt. The difference is that we seem to be able to do well on the slick also. What you probably don’t know is that practice was cancelled due to the immense amount of rain we have had in southern Denmark in the last few days, and the forecast for race day was thunder storms late afternoon/early evening. There was a decent wind all day, but the threat of rain never materialized – thankfully – and the only bit we got was a light drizzle around 6pm. That is why the track was as slick as it was. It was even watered every 5 races, and at least it wasn’t as bad as Reading at the race off last year… Great to see well over 10.500 spectators again in Vojens. Best wishes Jan

No they are not, I've been to Vojens lots of times and seen some cracking meetings. I think tonight was a mixture of due to the heavy rain yesterday and the danes liking it a bit slick but they went well over the top.

The first two meetings are always crap in the world cup because there is always a team who never scores any points and all there is to race for for the other three teams is the chance not to go to the race off even though the race off seems to be an advantage! It only heats up when we get to the race off. Few months ago I suggested maybe it should just be 6 teams in the world cup, top 2 from previous year seeded to the final and the other 4 then battle it out in the race off.

For those questioning why Simon Stead had been picked, tonight at Coventry guesting for Peterborough he has won his first three rides beating Nicholls once and Harris twice!

USA won't qualify, I think the russians will be a lot stronger then some people think.

Also why no Ryan Fisher for USA, has he fallen out with AMA too?

Well it's obvious which two teams won't be making the race off, Finland and USA. It's just about who goes straight through to the final now, I think it will be Denmark and Sweden. Poland will then win the race off and probably the final too. Will be interesting to see Charlie 'The Edge' Venegas riding over here again but wouldn't expect him to do much.

This weekend? Riders haven't got long to sort out flights and getting bikes out there etc!
