Idiot

Is anyone able to point me towards the right place for final averages for the Swedish Elite League for 2007 please.

Have to agree, the racing was garbage. If this keeps up it will die, we need to see racing not gate and go

I agree it would be financial suicide not to have at least 2 brits in next year, bearing in mind the British GP seems to make most of the money. Having said that I am surprised that niether of the two chose to do the quals

It cost the promotions money, the TR doesnt and its as simple as that What I would give to go back to the old tac sub ride.

Good post, they always moan about the track being different, lets bin practice

I thought that was one of the worst GP's ever, the track was an absoloute disgrace, who ever prepared should be sacked. I dont think I saw one passing move in the first 12 heats other than a mistake because of the ruts. If Olsen thinks that sort of track is what is required he wants sacking. Truly dreadful

The whole tactical ride thing should be scrapped, along with the guest rider rule. Dreadful, both of them, holds this sport back from being taken seriously. Unfortunately its the BSPA who decided these things and they dont want to scrap either.

Perhaps I can help you, NL is your wife, I didnt realise you had split up again.

The press release for this story stated that Mick Bratley was Peterborough Co Promoter and advisor to Hans Andersen. If the Daily Mirror want to interpret that as manager, then thats up to them. Anyway why would a Reading sponsor be so interested, are you so fed up with putting the boot into Colin Horton that you now have switched tactics to stabbing Mick Bratley in the back. Or is the real reason that maybe you're just bitter that Peterborough withdrew their proposal of team sponsorship to you this season because they decided they did not need the hassle from a two bob lift company. I see the spelling hasnt improved yet

I wouldnt take everything you read in the Daily Mirror as gospel, its not known for its accuracy is it, secondly every promoter in speedway is involved with his riders and is clearly biased towards his riders, It goes with the job. Promoters are always in the pits, its required under the rules, certainly in the UK anyway. Try a different daily it might help with the spelling

It doesnt really matter where the GP is being staged because the man responsible for its state is Ole Olsen While he is GP Director in charge of track preperation it will be slick, slick and more slick.

Yeh brilliant he only mentioned that Zagar was 5 times slovenian champion about 15 times. The mans got to go

Having attended Cardiff for the last 5 years I have found it more expensive every year, Its bad enough that BSI rip us off without the hotels getting in on the act We have booked to go to Germany for the last GP and with flights, hotel & tickets, its just as cheap if not cheaper than going to Cardiff. If you do it yourself and its not differcult, its works out about half what reputed speedway travel clubs charge.

I thought the GP was one of the worse this year, the track was an absolute disgrace, do the organisers actually want to see racing. Anyone watching that for the first time wouyld have switched off, its pains me to say it but I agree with Shovlar, It certainly looked like Hancock had 2 wheels over the white line

I was just thinking were we not saying the same about Trick at the end of 2006 and look what happened to him

If they wanted to qualify they should have done the British Final, some simpathy for Loram who missed out because of red tape, absoloutly none for Louis who apart from Ipswich & Arena Essex looks totally passed it. Harris scored the better points so deserves the chance

Completely agree, only the top 8 should get into next years GP, the rest should qualify although I still think its we will have 2 brits, Harris is my bet after his good final score

I agree, cannot see BSI taking a chance on having just 1 brit in the GP, my money is on the best score between Steady or Bomber on Saturday in Vetlanda deciding it.

This was raised earlier and advice was sought, his points will not count towards next year so even if he finshes in the top 8 he will not qualify for 2007. But he has been informed that if he scores enough points to finish on the overall rostrum he will receive the appropriate medal The way he is riding that is a distinct possibility
