So he'll be finishing only second in Wroclaw then, Brady has a chance to close the gap!

If they want the final to mean something just give double points again, been a stupid scoring format since it was introduced made worse with the LCQs

They even showed a live championship graphic where they had to gray out the 4 in the final because they didn't know how many points they had yet making the entire graphic quite useless. If it was what you scored on the night there would have actually been a point to it.

Great to see Dan get a wildcard as I didn't think he'd get one, he definitely deserves to be in the field as he's been riding fantastically. Do feel for those who didn't win the ballot in Glasgow as none of them got in the field, especially when Bednar got in after finishing tied 6th in his qualifier.

For curiosity sake what average would Nick Morris come back on? Would he come back on his old average or would he be reassessed? If he is reassessed could Hagon or Hume make way for him, Stuart isn't afraid to be ruthless with changes and if I remember correctly he was close with Nick

Good thing we didn't get a 5-1 in heat 15 or the heat 14 decision would have been extremely frustrating. Leon had a poor night and Howarth wasn't quite as quick as he has been, can't have that when missing Dan and against a team where all the riders can ride the track well.

Not every team can have as good a manager as Cami Brown . Harris in heat 8 is a waste really, better using him against Lawson or Rowe.

If the rising star did have a bad off and had to withdraw I don't think it's fair for the team already down a rider to be further punished. Personally though I think all teams should have either 2 rising stars or 0, would stop all this.

Think he still has some of his really good Oxford scores contributing to his average which will take at least a few months to drop off, at the moment he is replacing bad Oxford scores with bad Glasgow ones.

Would it really be a 28 day ban for missing 1 ride after completeing 2, surely a week ban max? To be fair a longer time out might help though I hope he doesn't hang it up like it seems Connor Bailey has as he is talented, might have just tried to much too quickly.

Is the house in Paisley the punishment for any bad performances?

Alex was a weird one, personally don't think he should have been in the rerun. Marc at least got his bike back to the pits under his own power

They were waiting to work out how they sort out 4th place which tbh didn't need to leave the fans waiting for as was obvious there would be no more racing. Could give them all the wildcard spots but don't know if that is right for all the wildcards to be from one meeting.

Zero chance. Is is 12 or 16 heats for a result, if its 12 they might be hoping to just get a run off for 4th done?

Love watching the bikes go through Maggots and Becketts, the way the riders have to position themselves to get through it really showcases their skill

Maybe BSN weren't able to do it, only other reason I can think of? Think last years semis were around August-September time last year if I'm remembering correctly.

He did manage to complete heat 4 and wasn't off the pace, don't know the pain he is in but knowing speedway riders and how important this meeting is he might try, if he does I hope he doesn't end up injuring himself further. Think Tom Brennan missed out on the wildcards when he did it despite there being no other Brits in the field and he just missed out on a qualification spot in the toughest quali so wildcard for Dan I would think is unlikely.

I'd assume it's Klindt who would have to negotiate to let Plymouth have priority, I don't remember Brennan skipping out on British league matches for Poland over the last few years for example. Maybe GB need to add a rule to stop this sort of thing but while they don't there should be no punishment as they are following the priority rules.

Does Poland not have blanket priority over Friday-Sunday so he has to ride over there if they want him and Plymouth would get a facility?

Are there not a couple of wildcard spots? Though I think they normally go to then next best from the qualifiers

Hope all 4 riders in the final are alright after that strange finish

1. Hagon 2. J Thompson 3. Harrison 4. Cairns 5. Mulford 6. Scott 7. Perry 8. A Pijper 9. Hodder 10. Trigger 11. Killeen 12. Foord 13. Boughen 14. McGurk 15. Summers 16. Shimelt 17. D Thompson 18. S Pijper (Hopefully I've done the count back right)

Hope Dan is okay, scary looking crash

There will be extra water breaks throughout the meeting in case BSN didn't mention it.

To be fair he did finish 8th so would have been in the semis if we were using last years format, just a few riders scoring all the points
