I was just going off others suggestions that McGhee was Belle Vue and others were southern based. When I have been at Redcar I have seen articles in the program from James.

James Black will probably be the Redcar report. He does Berwick reports (and the Berwick stream). Possibly some for Redcar, Edinburgh and Workington also.

Give the team managers the option to line their team up how they want then they could have Kvech at number 1 if they wanted (need to have 2 lowest riders at reserve still). Would give the team manager more options as well.

Every track is technical for me. I am just going by what top riders like Emil and Tai have said.

If as everyone says, the NSS was built to the same sort of spec as Torun in Poland then I would say its not as technical as various other tracks in the UK. This is based on riders like Emil saying he has improved as a rider racing in Britain. Also Tai saying about having to turn the bike again. Mark Lemon also suggesting he will be building a team full of riders (think he said less than 55kgs) who don't weigh a lot. This would suggest other tracks are more technical.

Hopefully the promoters stop this from happening. Not really helping riders from the scheme being dropped for someone else (happened to Drew Kemp this season). A loophole I hope they remove from the rulebook.

Just bringing back from 3rd page for comments.

Why not use the thread already started?

A made up one, same as other countries? I have no problem with the bans, I just think riders from all countries should be treated the same.

How many years were Americans and Brits banned for when we were bombing countries trying to find weapons of mass destruction etc?

What is the age limit for rising stars? I thought it was under 23 at the start of the season (from 24 last season) and is Jordan not 23?

So the semi final is set. 2nd in league Leicester v 3rd in league Belle Vue. Let's see who they meet in the final.👍

Can you point me in the direction of the Leicester v Ipswich thread? Haven't seen one.

Emil with 6 points from 6 rides tonight. Obviously not fit.

If you include the superheat then Emil will equal that score. Was at Birmingham earlier in the season when he scored 19 points and won the superheat. He therefore had 23 points when Ipswich had 45 points (including the superheat scores).

Watched Torun you tube channel on the meeting (didn't understand what was being said). Emil wasn't taking part in the group warmup (seemed to be 1 to 1) and wasn't with the riders celebrating the win. As you say possibly some pressure to ride (said missing the meeting before was his choice). If Torun have paid or assisted with his rehab then possibly not wanting to take a chance with the injury? I think he would have been racing if he hadn't been injured as Lambert and Dudek are still racing for other teams.

Well done Freddie and his 16 competitors. Enjoyed the meeting and good to see the riders walk away after their crashes. Much prefer the format of top points scorer wins (unlike GP's when top points scorer doesn't always make the final never mind winning).

That's what I was thinking when I seen heat 13 on Facebook. Been on holiday so not seen the matches yet.

Like Jack and Freddie missing meetings in the UK after a GP?

Probably his own making. At the start of last season was he not looking to push Emil and Jason for the number 1 race jacket (sure that was mentioned various times before). Sometimes better keeping your goals to yourself.

Says on the British speedway site that Leicester looking to finish top so they have choice of legs in the final (if they get there). That would say whoever does finish top (if the top 2 both get through) will get the second leg. Last year the final was 3rd v 4th so could be an upset somewhere.

Just reading the preview on the sgb website. When did Sheffield take the captaincy from Kyle and give it to Chris? Good to see Dan back from injury as well.

Polish not the best but possibly player replacement for Emil (sportowefacty ish reporting).

Forget my ignorance. Who is HS? Agree about Dan Thomson having a good season (for Plymouth and Ipswich). Think if he didn't get hurt in SGP2 SON then Britain would surely have got a medal.

Jye rode for Sheffield (against Wolves) near the end of the season as well as the final. Got the wrong post.
