Outrageous, how dare the FIM make all the sensible picks just as we predicted leaving us nothing to whinge about. Shocked! PS Kubera, J Holder, Bewley, Chugunov and Miskowiak for my preferred reserve list.

Off

Just driven through heavy shower. Now at Alwalton, ground wet but sun coming out.

Andersen, Bomber and Nicholls scored not a single one of MY points. Unlike you I am unbiased, impartial and capable of processing the data and interpreting facts. Your argument about Toft's first two rides is mind blowingly pathetic.

Toft got double figures in both A and B fixtures, the Panthers only got 5 from his rides last week. RR for Ulrich yielded just 3 points. Care to rethink your post. PS citing Tatum is a bit like using Katie Price as your expert on road traffic law.

Have seen Pickering on several occasions this season on at least six different tracks and almost without fail he's been superb. Easily my rider of the season.

You could have two semis, winners to final, runners up to last chance, 3rd & 4th to repercharge. Repercharge - top 2 to last chance Last chance - top 2 to final

Dudek only the second ever Pole to win it - Walasek was the first (that's not counting Holta) Lahti the first ever Finn on the rostrum Becker a very creditable performance

Which funnily enough would give 14 of the same riders that most people seem to be expecting. The one change would be Piotr Pawlicki for Przedpelski.

Sad to hear, his loyalty to Cradley was second to none

I'm pretty sure most of us were saying that about Greg Hancock in 1999 .. and 2000 .. and 2001 .. and 2002 etc etc .. and 2010. And then what happened?

In the case of the BSPL I think we'd be better off starting with small steps. How about a 5 day plan?

Forecasts for Monday: Met Office: - mainly dry BBC - mainly dry Accuweather - mainly dry Weather.com - mainly dry .... my you are a pessimist

When I started following the sport 51 years ago Colin was already a big name in the sport (and would still have been riding if it wasn't for Lokeren). That's a hell of a long time to be a major figure in speedway. My condolences to friends and family.

Haven't had by bag searched for ages ... ... not since, err, yesterday at Birmingham

Sounds more a case of speedway not understanding the visa system

No guarantees, but highly likely. Also r/r yielded just 3

Speedwaygb shows abandoned at 3 all, so it sounds like the race result was officially recorded.

2002 Bydgoszcz featuring Mark Loram is my best guess

It was. And why would I get a parking fine?

Ht 15 of the Cubs match was worth the price of admission alone

I'd say about average, maybe slightly on the low side, but not significantly.

Surely Masters represents Edinburgh and Wolves, allowing a Newcastle representative (Barker) into the field. [Morris (Prem) and Nicholls (Champ) would be the highest average riders not in the field]

I'm referring to the Bundesliga Final (the final of a league in which precisely no matches have taken place). I know Smoli won the individual in August (and Grobauer was 8th)

So Grobauer is missing for the 'final' of a competition that was cancelled in the Spring.
