GP line-up and venues for 2026
Phannan replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Would like to have seen Parnitskyi in the lineup as I definitely think he would have added something new and raw and also be unfazed by the opposition. The powers that be obviously rate him by naming him reserve . He’ll get his chance as there’ll definitely be injuries . Difference is he won’t get a run at it and grow into it , just the odd opportunity. As for Tai . Shocked with that though it definitely adds interest. -

Don’t take my opinions to heart like you’re doing. The problem with your quartet is they aren’t challengers either except for the odd race . Doyle was but his days at the top consistently are behind him. I’d like to see some new faces to freshen it up. Preferably youngsters who won’t be intimidated. Parnitskyi is definitely one . There’s one . And if the reason behind huckenbeck and kvetch are applied, although not ideal , Becker will be one . I agree it’s hard but like in football with promotion and relegation, you’re guaranteed new faces every year . It’s not stale . -
2025 Torun SON and SON 2

Brady Kurtz is so good . He’s got to start favourite in next year’s gp . Hopefully some of the others will also lower Bartosz colours from time to time to help him achieve it. -

It’s looking like Kurtz has got Zmarzlik’s number if going by the last few meetings between the 2 is anything to go by. He’s certainly not intimidated in any way. Hopefully that carries on next season or it’ll be another bore fest in the gp’s . Fricke Michelsen Doyle . I’ve lost count how many gp’s they won between them last season. But yes , they’ll challenge in the odd race so that’ll do. -

Three exciting new wildcards in the gp may help them in their cause . But that’s a different story…. And a different event -

In football ,the top 3 teams in the championship get promoted. The same 3 teams usually get relegated the following year. But the same rules apply every year. They get their chance. The 3 teams freshen up the top league at least. New faces . And if any are good enough then they stay up. It’s evolution to a point. As for the young riders not being good enough, how will we know until they get their chance. We know they won’t come out on top straight away but it will be interesting to watch their progress. The 3 wildcards aren’t good enough too. Otherwise they wouldn’t need a pick year on year. The gp has gone stale. Wheeling out the usual suspects who’ll never challenge the top spot will just worsen it. -

Another drab gp year ahead then. Same riders year on year . No challengers to Bartek other than Brady and Dan . The winner of SGP 2 should definitely be promoted to SGP1 the following year. Obviously a good rider to win that can definitely improve at the top level. Every sport has promotion as a prize . Speedway is different obviously. That’s why it’s struggling badly and the gp has become a procession. -

Who says the new blood isn’t good enough till it’s given a chance to see. Seeing the same old faces is a huge part of why the series has become boring. Thank god for Brady and Dan keeping it alive. As for Doyle , he was the new blood once . He hasn’t always been the rider he is today but he , sadly has become part of the furniture and won’t challenge at the top again. Fricke is ultra professional, as he proved last night whereas Dole and Brennan had different ideas last night. The series needs a recharge with some new riders , not same old same old again. In my opinion. -

Depends what you call south. I’m from Huddersfield so Sheffield is south to me whereas Redcar is north to me but south to Glasgow and Berwick. Whereas Edinburgh….. confused you will be 😳 -
Fingers crossed for Leicester to come out on top in the final . Professional throughout the season and especially last night. Fricke has been outstanding and deserves to be a champion. No going through the motions. What happened to Doyle and Brennan ? Let’s hope they turn the switch back on for Torun.

Who fancies Holder as their new number one ? I’ll give that a miss. Rather have Craig Cook . And he’s never there .
