Interesting hearing Adam Ellis interviewed at SGP qualifiers Glasgow and saying he wants to come back later this season and ride in UK 👀
-
I didn’t see him after the meeting. 6 races for the juniors and x2 times Scott Nichols came out to practice and that was it.

Vaculik stated half way through last season it was his last at Gorzow so Lublin enquired with the rider and after being offered a larger wage than at Stal, he decided to ask Zmarzlik what the club was like and if he should go, Zmarzlik told him it’s a good club but it wasn’t because they are friends that he went. Zmarzlik is actually closer to Anders than Vaculik and Zmarzlik used to go round Anders house as a guest often when riding in Gorzow.

Even if you have good racing here the 60+ year olds aren’t going to create an atmosphere. The passion for speedway isn’t here in this country. You don’t see these fans in Poland sitting down and filling in their programmes after each heat. Imagine being at a football match and someone scores and the first thing you do is fill in a booklet with the goal scorer and the score, I find it weird people do it for speedway ever since I got into the sport.

I agree with you! King was really making the bike work hard tonight and found his inner Doyley with some hard moves, brilliant from him!

Bomber putting in some effort tonight 👊🏻 https://youtube.com/shorts/fRBFP1EaeEs?si=J4cyc1c9_v2UlIgG

Called it at the start of the season that Brennan may be out of his depth at number 1 and might get demoralised, I hope he doesn’t but he will find it tough. For me, Lawson doesn’t fit the witches formula, he goes back to the pits and doesn’t interact with fans, seems moody a lot and doesn’t bother going on the parade lap after the meeting when everyone else does.
-
What has the ref done wrong tonight? I was at the meeting and not one person mentioned the ref or any dodgy decision. Just because both riders got DQ? Isn’t it a rule that if you leave the track you get DQ? I wouldn’t call it an interesting meeting just by the rules.

Manchester is contracted to run a double header GP next year and then that’s it. So don’t fear that you’ll be carrying Britain’s GP on your back for much longer! Mayfield’s ideal scenario is one at Manchester and one elsewhere, although nothing confirmed as to where that may be!

Mitch would have been a great signing to show intent for the future of speedway and not the past! IMO we have far too many old riders now which is only worsening the sport by not giving chances to the younger generation, you want to bring young people to Foxhall but don’t give them anyone who they could relate to? As much as I hate Falubaz, Mitch is performing well, even when Madsen does push him off!

Brennan has been dropped from the match day team but still in the squad as they have too many “players”, similar thing happened at Rybnik last year. Brennan is getting £2,000 a match to be sidelined though!

Foxhall to me feels completely flat. I’ll go to the home matches and keep an eye on the away meetings but it doesn’t exactly excite me anymore to see what we can do. The heart of it has been ripped out and feels like a make shift team. People will naturally speak on Doyle and Emil but I actually am also disappointed that Dan left, I enjoyed watching him progress. Lawson & PHB don’t really excite me enough to get into their races, Scotty is just filling in for a season it feels like just for a farewell (although he has done brilliant for us in the past so I can’t knock him). Brennan has a bright future but will get frustrated when he can’t beat the other out and out number ones of other teams so I hope it doesn’t deflate him, especially with what is going on with him at Bydgoszcz. King and Edwards always try hard and were previous witches so no problem with that. And I like watching Tobi to be fear. Just doesn’t seem like “my” Witches.

A cylinder blew out, destroying the engine from the inside. The engine was completely destroyed, melting the remaining part and melting some of the motorcycle's trim. This engine had just been serviced and had previously only been used for training.

If holder brings his form from Gorzow then him and Kurtz will have a good battle!
