Not the way I expected this meeting to go. What has happened to the Bandits tonight? Although, Kemp clearly made a big difference. No way Joe would have got that score.

Well done Dan.

I missed this when it was originally posted. I had assumed there would be three going through from today's meeting. How did Italy get gifted a place in the final? Awful choice.

It's the European Pairs semi final...I think. Hungary, Denmark, Slovakia, Ukraine and Netherlands.

He's racing for GB in Hungary today.

Of his own (sic)

No offence, but if getting pumped by 20 points is a success in your eyes, good for you. I'm not sure if it is the sort of result that would really bring back the "stay away" fans that you talk about...but I'll hope that it does.

Not really a backtrack. The case was taken higher and they decided that he should not be stopped from racing while an appeal was in progress.

Now that Freddie, Emil and Leon have made late signings for a second league, he is in a much smaller group. Martin Vaculik and Matej Zagar? Do either of them have anything outside of the Polish league this year?

They had the League Cup back then as well, which was done in a league format for the first part of the season. Lynn did a bit better in that with a couple of home wins and a couple of home draws.

I really don't think that Nicki is the type to play games with injury. He is clearly genuinely having problems at the moment. It seems that the suspension comes from a Danish match where he took issue with referee and went into the refs box to give some personal abuse. Edit - I see you posted as well just as I was sending this.

Patryk Dudek used 69 before he got into the GP series as well. Once he was there he changed to 692 as Doyle already had 69.

Yes. But if two of them found themselves together in a series like the SGP or SEC, one of them would have to change.

Oh yeah, I get that...and it makes total sense for them to have moved it...but it ensured you were mainly working for an audience that would be watching later rather than live

Not the best time slot for this one. Can't imagine the live viewing figures would be too good

Is Paul Starke one of them or does he have a team in both leagues?

Nothing. After the preliminary investigation the case was dropped due to a lack of evidence.

BT Sport have the GPs this year.

That is probably the worst meeting I have ever seen at Gustrow. Whoever was in charge of the track prep for this meeting needs to be sacked immediately. Another OneSport failure.

Yes.

Assuming you mean Lasse rather than Lars, yeah I think Edinburgh wanted him in the team this year but with covid travel restrictions he decided to drop out rather than Edinburgh dropping him. Not certain on that, though. Like you, I was quite impressed with what he did in that field without any serious UK experience. I think he was the only rider in the meeting that hadn't been a UK league regular at some point in the past.

If that's true it's even more impressive. He was a class above the field tonight.

Seriously? They said it wasn't worth it? I would strongly disagree.

Totally agree. There was some great racing there. I was wavering on whether to pay for the stream tonight but was very happy that I made the choice to buy. And, I can only echo your comments about Bradley and Tero. It was an ugly crash. Hopefully they will both be back soon.

A great day for the Brits today. Robert, Dan and Adam all through to the GP Challenge. When was the last time we had 3 Brits in the GP Challenge? Edit - Hmm...Seems it was only 2 years ago. but this 3 seem to be better bets than last time
