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 .

GP line-up and venues for 2026

Totally agree about Doyle . And Parnitskyi should be included as this year’s GP2 winner. Makes total sense to promote the winner of that series every year . That way we’re guaranteed at least 1 new face. And a good one at that. Give youth a chance I reckon. -

I’d have Parnitskyi , Cierniak or Kowalski before Doyle . All young up and coming and hungry. Wanting to show they can mix it at the top. As good as Doyle was , he’s had his day and brings no new interest. Also he likes a fall so is likely to miss gp’s too. Nothing wrong with freshening things up to re energise the competition. Just my opinion. -

The 3 you mentioned bring nothing new . The 3 I mentioned certainly do but as you know they won’t be in , lets look forward to another exciting gp year. Thank god for Kurtz and Bewley to add the interest the rest sadly lack. -

Yes put them all back in . Same old same old. Laguta and sayfutdinov are better than the 3 you’ve quoted. Woffinden brings character and interest. And who knows, may reach top levels again. Maybe not consistently but then your 3 don’t either. -

Suppose it says everything about the strength of the top level riders these days when it’s so hard to find 4 credible challengers to make each round more interesting. I agree woffindens best days are behind him but one thing he isn’t is mundane and boring, which is what top level speedway has become with no characters like Ward , Carter , Havelock etc . Hopefully he’ll come back stronger after his lay off this year . We already know the top 3 in 2026 and probably in the same order . -

Kurtz did all he could to be number 1 this year. Nobody good enough to help him out by topping Zmarzlik. We need possible challengers. Doyle top class in his day at the top level but those days are now gone and he’ll know it deep down. He may challenge once or twice but over 10 rounds. No chance. Wild cards must be possible challengers or it will be the same predictable results on boring circuits. For what it’s worth I’d go for Laguta, Emil, Madsen and woffinden ( box office ) -

Hate is a very strong word and a bit over the top imo. Suppose it’s the world we now live in nowadays. Plantpots coming out with trash like that. -
Ipswich v Belle Vue POSF Leg 2
Phannan replied to blue witch's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Just hope Brady and Dan get through it unscathed. As professionals they’ll definitely give their all on the night but they’ve been there done it with this competition. Let another dog have its day . Just get to Saturday’s massive meeting safe. -
Ipswich v Belle Vue POSF Leg 2
Phannan replied to blue witch's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Witches to go through. Especially if Doyle repeats his rider of the night performance of 2 wins out of 5 rides the other night??? -
I’d be surprised to see Belle Vue come out on top this season for the simple reason that their top two riders are fighting for 1st and 3rd in the world championship, whereas the other 3 teams top end have far less to go for , except Fricke for next year’s series. Their minds have got to be on that fact , maybe one less risk taken than usual.
