Hope Milik qualifies. No Lebedevs Is Piotr Pawlicki riding, thought he had broken his leg.

Watch the SEC. All the Danes involved are terrible. Iversen has been my favourite GP rider for a few years simply down to his plucky never say die attitude & style, he has been Danish Champion for the last 7 years straight. He has won GP's. The SGP needs a Dane. He is the only sensible choice. They needed a Swede a few years ago & chose THJ, how did that work out? Last every event pretty much. Madsen, MJJ just no, had their chance & didn't deliver. I do have a horrible feeling that in ten years the SGP will be 10 Poles & 5 also rans from the most profitable nations.

I would like to see Doyle win the WC, he should have won it last year but for the injury. Unfortunately I think Janowski will, I have no problem with Janowski being WC because at least he spent time learning his craft in British leagues with various teams. But he has more time on his side than Doyle does. As soon as Zmarzlik or Dudek become WC and I have no doubt one of them will the incentive for any rider to turn up for league racing in the UK is gone.

So who do you think are favourites? Assuming both Swindon & Belle Vue finish above Wolves, whichever of those teams will choose whichever team finishes fourth. Surely? If Wolves are at full strength I would take them over two legs over whichever team they come up against with the possible exception of Rye House. But I don't see Rye House making the playoffs.

Madsen in the SEC has been awful. Iversen easily, he scores 6-8 every GP. He won Cardiff two years ago, I'm sure he won a GP last year. The stupid Polish federation rule cutting down his schedule hasn't helped him. He seems like a rider that needs to ride as often as possible to stay on form. 7 consecutive years of being Danish Champion.

Lebedevs & Milik should get wildcards if they don't qualify through the qualifiers, they're the most entertaining riders in the SEC. Plus a Dane, Iversen isn't having a good year but still mixes it.

After the weekends result, it looks like Janowski all the way for World Champion. I just can't see him throwing in a stinker. Except for Dudek & Doyle, the other riders are too far behind. The Swedes & Woffinden are the ones in form but they are too far back. No Danish rider in next years GP series?

All a bit odd, I am currently off work recuperating from a ruptured sciatic nerve and live less than 3 miles from Monmore. No rain until after the BT Sport Meeting had concluded & I had watched Game of Thrones! And then only light downpour for less than 20 mins.

Rebels got away with a point they shouldn't gave got. Fair play to the Lions select team for adapting to the track after a poor start. Lynch should surely have used the tactical on Starke when he was off gate 1 in heat 7, even a 5-3 is better than a 3-3 as Bewley hadn't looked great all evening. Even so the Rebels were saved by the rain believe Leicester would have had the choice of gate positions in heat 15 by which time Nicholls & King were flying. Two terrific rides. The best was Nicholls in heat 11, to stay behind the slower Riss when there was only one real racing line while keeping Lawson at bay. Wright in the following heat was almost as terrific. Newman in heat 14 also note worthy. Unfortunately it didn't help either teams cause in the long term, dropped points for the Rebels who due to the recent poor form of Poole, the team changes Kings Lynn have virtually been forced into & Rye Houses lack of form all season had a sniff of a play off spot. The 2 points will do little help Leicester avoid the wooden spoon.

Hilarious result. Clearly Kasprzak is not in next years plans as he didn't average reduction memo.

Rospiggarna from champions to relegated?

Just watched this meeting without knowing the result. Congrats to the Rebels on a well deserved away win. Fairly gutted for Kings Lynn who are experiencing an awful year, but at least you had 7 riders that tried throughout the night. Palm Toft & Porsing were absolutely dreadful. Unlucky with Huckenbeck's chain snapping which was crucial. I do wonder how long it takes a van with two bikes in it to get from Vetlanda to Kings Lynn, but THJ did not disgrace himself.

I quite agree, but he is not South Coast certainty next year.

I cannot comment on the racing since I was not there, but have heard it has not been up to usual standards of late. This was a tough fixture for your new recruits without doubt. Swindon have been on a roll with or without Doyle. Personally I cannot comment on the state of the track for the visit of Poole. But Holder going AWOL was expected. I've never had much faith in Batchelor doing anything that wasn't in the best interests of Batchelor. So maybe he is hoping for a South Coast return next year. They have their wish, low averages so if Fatt Maud doesn't mess up his team building next year, the Pirates are all set. Lets hope any other club is capable of ruining their party

Is on BT Sport?

Mostly sums up my feelings towards Speedway in this country.

What a result for Wroclaw.

Wouldn't see the point in using Kasprzak in heat 15, even if he is the Rockets best rider on the night. which is entirely likely. If he is a reserve he could have 7 rides prior to heat 15, may as well win the meeting before heat 15 if you can.

Why? Because he has never tried to kill anyone on track? I agree that Janowski is as likely as anyone to have a stinker of a round for no apparent reason, as consistent as he has been I don't see Dudek winning a final.

I have been pretty surprised by how well Morris & Bellego have performed which has been the Robins bonus. Tobias Musielak will undoubtedly improve things and hopefully Ellis can recapture some form while at reserve. Robins are set fair to make the play offs now, along with Wolves & Belle Vue. It is a shame Kings Lynn have underperformed. A playoffs without the Pirates would be a blessing on the sport in this country. Somerset winning away was a start, we just need a competitive Leicester. And a return of the Bee's, and a few more top level teams, a few teams moving from conference to championship and we'll be set fair!

Would it not be hilarious if they got relegated. That was some bad team building that went on.

Well done Lawson, Wright et al. Isn't it fun when the riders you use as guests on an almost weekly basis previously come back to bite you on the ass. That result has made my week.

Doyle should have won last year when he was a class apart, from June on wards. He has not quite reached that level this year. The accident he was involved in was certainly not his fault, I guess that makes it worse mentally to get over. Have to say on a World scale Janowski has sadly been a class above in the last 6 weeks.

Just watched this, recorded on BT last night. Hats off to Tungate, Bjerre & Bewley who won the meeting for the Aces. Sentiment has no part in Speedway, Aces will struggle to win the playoffs with Smith in the 1-7, although he was better tonight than he has been when I have seen him before. That could well in part be due to Wolves failings. Not that Greaves or Perks looked that bad, could be the track. I do wonder what Adams was thinking, Lindgren could have 6 rides, why put him off gate 4 for 50% of those rides. Wolves were fairly poor Masters aside. Considering the performances of Schlien & Barker at the British Final, they were poor.
