So what's going on then?

Give these boys a proper track to race on instead of this crap and you'll see an fantastic meeting.

It is the same as GP format.

These events will have semi finals and a final

Kings Lynn should be streamed online. Only the last round will be on Eurosport I believe.

Bates qualified mate, 4th in Pocking.

For now it's too much, and he's going to concentrate on grasstrack and longtrack which are more his roots.

Hummel left the team

Kings Lynn wildcard: Zach Wajtknecht

Lindgren is a SGP reserve, just like Milik, so this is not the reason.

Russia confirmed with Sayfutdinov, Kulakov, Kudrashov and the Laguta brothers.

King did show up

Practice about to start here in Croatia. Boiling hot as usual Andersen, King and Pavlic not here yet.

Pretty controversy moment when Andersen got disqualified because he let Ljung past on the last few meters. Unsportsmanlike behavior according to the ref.

Great to see that our Dutch kid got a place in the Premier league. He's our biggest talent, and I look forward to see his results :)

My money is on Lambert, Pieszczek and Andersson.

Manchester abandoned after 12 heats.... Qualified riders: Maksym Drabik (PL) Victor Kulakov (RU) Patrick Hansen (DK) Adam Ellis (GB) Max Fricke (AU) Bartosz Smektala (PL) Eduard Krcmar (CZ) Josh Bates (GB) Dmitri Berge (FR) Jack Holder (AU) Mikkel B. Andersen (DK) Erik Riss (DE) +3 wildcards +1 local wildcard Very interesting mixed lineup, with riders from 8 nations.
