  1. Not a problem as long as the inclusion of NKI keeps Lynn below the overall points limit. NKI is 7.54 PK is 7.10
  2. Swedes are looking very short of top names with Lindback out and Ljung on the decline. Pontus Aspgren is clearly no 2 in current Swedish rankings, after that you've got riders like Nilsson, Thorssell, Berntzon who've been around for many years. A lot is resting on Philip Hellstrom-Bangs for Sweden's GP future.
  3. All I could find for 2021 were 8 meetings back in Denmark, mainly in Div 1 (Danish second tier) against the likes of Tobias Thomsen and Nick Agertoft.
  4. My view on Pearson too. He's a fantastic prospect.
  5. Aleksandr Loktaev would be the obvious case to consider. Russian born but transferred his allegiance to Ukraine. (he made 1 GP appearance last year)
  6. To be honest I'm not totally opposed to this, BUT a] it has come completely out of left field, why no chance to discuss it before the rulebook drops, which might have increased the chance of getting it right b] if this change is the right way to go why not apply it to ALL leagues
  7. Talking of odds I wonder what odds you'd have got on Weber for WC in January?
  8. I'm in the hate camp, but I still acknowledge that he's good at what he does and he makes a positive contribution to the atmosphere at Monmore.
  9. Keep up, announced yesterday https://britishspeedway.co.uk/miscellaneous/acu-statement-invasion-of-ukraine/
  10. 1984 semi Jan & Bjorn Andersson 1987 semi Shawn & Kelly Moran in addition I assume Patrice and Alain Blondy (France 88) and Frans/Geert Cools (Belgium 89) were brothers Didn't spot any other finalists
  11. Would make a good pre season warm up in early March. BUT Can you imagine how you'd have been laughed at for suggesting this 10 years ago?
  12. I'm inclined to think beating Woffinden, Fricke and Michelsen in a single meeting suggests he might be ok at the NSS.
  13. Full list of winners. You will note that GB (and Russia) has never taken it particularly seriously. Ukraine even have a medal! https://pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drużynowe_mistrzostwa_Europy_juniorów_na_żużlu
  14. He has ridden for Poland - in the European under 23 Team Championship http://www.gbspeedway.com/2021/worldcup.php?mc1=o&mc2=eu23t&mc3=x&mc4=x&champ=EU23T
  15. And if they do denounce the invasion, what then? Novichok and polonium for tea. Many have condemned them as cowards for not speaking out against the war, but it carries with it real dangers.
  16. But is McGuiness one of them? Last season he averaged 2.57 in Denmark (League 1). For comparison: Ben Basso 9.24 Tobias Thomsen 7.20 Jacob Bukhave 6.84 Mika Meijer (Neth) 3.80 Nick Agertoft 3.46 Maja Aamand 3.23 (one of the world's top 3 female riders) Henry van der Steen (Neth) 3.14
  17. Seconded, he was a good watch in his brief spell at Leicester
  18. I'm pretty sure that 12 months ago Adam Ellis confirmed French league did not count in his quota of 'international leagues'. Can't ever recall seeing Ligue Francais matches appear on the ISL.
  19. I would think that the PZM would be willing to give them Polish licences. I imagine that Russia will be banned from SoN and other FIM team competitions though.
  20. But in Poland Doyle 9, Fricke 7.25 In Sweden Doyle 9.44, Fricke 8.68 But 2022 could be the year Fricke replaces Doyle as the top Aussie
  21. 16 March 2003 Glasgow 38 Valsarna 52
  22. That average largely consists of matches ridden for Sheffield and Workington, I stand by my figure.
