How many get a place in the SGP qualifiers next year, top 3 or top 4?

Britain vs Germany I like it

Lots of unknowns in the line-up for the Aussie title this year. So many of the big names are missing. Jack Holder will be the big favorite, with Tungate and Lidsey as his main rivals, I guess. - Alexander Adamson - Reid Battye - Mitchell Cluff - Ben Cook - Zach Cook - Jack Holder - Jacob Hook - Jaimon Lidsey - Mitchell McDiarmid - Jack Morrison - Bradley Page - Keynan Rew - Lachlan Russell - Harryson Ryan - Justin Sedgmen - Rohan Tungate - Dayle Wood - Tate Zischke Jan.3 Wodonga, Victoria Jan.4 Wodonga, Victoria Jan.7 Mildura, Victoria Jan.9 Gillman, South Australia Don't forget it's live on the British Speedway Network https://watch.britishspeedway.co.uk/

Come on, man, your Team GB riders aren't that bad. If all of the top British riders (Lambert, Bewley, Woffy) come to ride in the Test Series against the Aussies, this would be a heck of an event. Perhaps even of interest to a tv station to cover this test series instead of the league. Who knows? Five proper speedway tests over 18 heats with 6-rider teams plus reserves, no gimmicks, that's all it needs. Make Speedway Great Again !

Beau Bailey (knee injury) has withdrawn form the Aussie Championship series Fraser Bowes (shoulder injury) also doubtful

With the Premiership down to just five teams, wouldn't the 2026 season be perfect for Speedway GB to at last bring back a proper 5 Test "Speedway Ashes" Series against the Aussis?

At this time of the year it is not unusual that deliveries take longer than usual. There is a lot of mail before Christmas. It usually gets back to normal service again after the festive season. At least that's how it is over here in Germany.

Kim Nilsson stays at Landshut

and Mario Häusl stays at Landshut

That was to be expected. To be fair, the World Team looked pretty weak this year with four Polish juniors, Fraser Bowes and Hancock junior.

The USA took on a World team in an unofficial international challenge match at Auburn's Fast Fridays Speedway last night. Does anybody have the results ?

It was won by the Seychelles-German rider Mario Häusl, ahead of Poland's Maksymilian Pawelczak, and Belle Vue's German rider Norick Blödorn.

If rumors from Poland are to be believed WBD wont be involved anymore next year. Apparently they are in the process of selling all the speedway rights. There should be an official announcement coming soon.

Life's tough in the Ukraine, or is it? Judge for Yourself. Here is a video of the Ukrainian championship speedway meeting held at Lviv a fortnight ago.

33 out of 36 riders for the Golden Helmet are already known: Bednar, Jenicek, Kamenik, Milik, Klima, Macek (CZE) Przem. Pawlicki, Piotr Pawlicki, Jamrog, Chmiel (POL) Brennan, Ellis, Flint (GBR) Doyle, Douglas, Masters (AUS) Mads Hansen, Rasmus Jensen (DEN) Bellego, Berge (FRA) Castagna, Covatti (ITA) Blodorn, Liebmann (GER) Lahti, Berntzon (SWE) Ivacic, Grmek (SLN) Valkovic (SLK) Becker (USA) Magosi (HUN) Parnitskiy (UKR) Pollestad (NOR) plus 1 other GER, DEN, and LAT

I thought the racing wasn't great at Riga last night and the stadium was not even full, even though the capacity there is not much. The racing wasn't great either. Worrying times for the SGP. The final result was good though and thanks to Brady Kurtz the world championship is still open with two rounds at Wroclaw and Vojens still to come.

That was a rather emotionless meeting at Czestochowa, in fact quite boring, in what used to be one of the hot spots of the Ekstraliga. The Ekstraliga this season fails to excite me, and I notice that crowds in the Polish stadia are significantly down this year. I've said it before and I say it again, the total dominance of Motor Lublin, and to a lesser extend Torun and Wroclaw, is doing the league no good.

Maybe so, but all of the Aussies and most of the Brits are based in the UK, which would make it fairly easy to run a test series in the summer. Where there's a will, there's always a way!

I don't agree that this would be totally one-sided. It coud even be quite a spectacle and a highlight of the UK season! Anyway, it is such a shame we don't get to see a proper GB v Aussie speedway test series. The wait continues.

Landshut v Gdansk on Sunday has been postponed due to bad weather. The new date for this match is Sunday, August 10 (5pm local time)

I tend to not watch Motor Lublin meetings anymore. They are so strong it is totally boring! How can the Lublin fans enjoy watching this?

This was a very good race meeting on Saturday. I am more and more impressed with the Flat Trackers. I wonder, could this be the future for speedway/track racing? You can watch Saturday's complete meeting in Croatia re-live with English commentary on YouTube. It was live and free on YouTube on Saturday night.
