Yeah, pretty certain Loktaev is Ukrainian.

Brilliant.

I don't think so. Don't think we'll have one for some time with no Welsh clubs at all.

To be fair, it's progressive either way. Mind you, a really progressive thing would be to give the rights away to ITV4 or BBC Red Button for production costs only.... ....Flying Pigs Alert

Saw Glasgow tweeted that after I had posted potential teams. That would marry up with my thought that this is a joint venture between the new 'Team GB' ownership & Glasgow as an experiment for future Tests. Denmark use 6-rider teams and might be easier for the likes of Sweden to come over with 6-man rather than 7-man teams. As for Schlein,

Where? I remember having to have one of the Polish sites that provide updates on constant refresh and jumping around like a blue-bottomed canary at work when Cook finished 4th!

That's the biggest worry of all. My desperation to win the EuroMillions to help grows by the day! (although Newport & Cov would probably come first if it somehow happened!)

GB: Woffinden S Worrall Cook R Worrall Lambert Ellis Bewley Aus: Doyle J Holder Batchelor Masters Morris Fricke Kurtz Would be an exciting line-up

Wonder what everyone would consider the best GB & Aus 1-7's actually are right now?

Possibly. Hopefully FIM announce them before Cardiff, might be a few guys looking on a wildcard as a possibly way back-in at the halfway stage.

This. Well done to Bewley for recovering like that but by heck that was dumb!

Judging by the picture I've seen, I'd be shocked if it starts at all.

Good to hear. Any recommendations for hotel/hostel?

Anyone had experience going to Wroclaw in the past? What's it like? Best way to get there? Easy to get around when you are there?

Thinking of doing the finals. Anyone know when tickets will go on sale?

Sod the interclub stuff. This is surely a great partnership if it helps give the Aces British youngsters a way into Poland earlier.

Kennett won't get sacked this year, his away performances will be much more acceptable on the average he has now.

According to the GSA on the Speedway GB website he is.

London Monarchs?

How? when a 42.5 Prem team would be much bigger than a 42.5 Champ team (unless a couple have Klindt-like Championship averages)

If he wasn't for averages, he'd have been riding for Leicester LAST season. And I don't think he personal thiks he is any better than this time last year. He was already this good BEFORE this season.

With Holder, haven't seen it mentioned anywhere that without him (or A.N.Other Aussie), we are down to one Australian in the Championship. Also something to bear in mind, given that we are talking about a Dane being a certainty for the same reason (albeit that they have 0 rather than one) and they still have a contract with Melbourne for another 2 years.

I'll admit some of those are unlikely. I used a mixture of this years teams and the asset lists from http://www.speedway-stats.co.uk/Riders as a base (no idea if they are up to date) and worked from there. I'll admit a return for Tai is unlikely (in fact he is probably more likely to return to the league if the remour of what is actually going to happen to the top flight with fixed race nights happen). Doyle is signed up for next year by Swindon anyway right? And why would he change what worked. It sounds like Holder and Matt Ford have sorted their differences so a return to Poole is a realistic possibility. I think I was struggling for Leicester (none existent asset base and this years riders all have dent averages that their asset team would want them), hence the inclusion of Lebvedevs who was due to ride this year and Milik. Skornicki was a fill in and in a dream world of a Cov return then maybe that tempts Fisher back, especially if the likes of Becker/Ruml/Nicol are over here.
