Only a pre-season challenge being held mid-week. I would not expect many spectators.

The whole meeting is on youtube starting here. I've not had time to view it yet.

Danny has won this year's Ben Fund.

Latest Met Office prediction is for heavy rain between 8 to 10pm tomorrow evening and more or less backed up by BBC summary and weather map. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/u12b4ht3f#?date=2023-03-23 https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2646057

Not any more. Now showing PCMT.

The only race suit Emil will be riding in for now is that of Torun.

It actually doesn't matter what this country believes. It is the FIM who made this ruling in March 2022.

This is not entirely correct. Krzysztof qualified for the SGP in 2002 but lost his place in the Poole team because of the ruling that year restricting clubs to just one GP rider so he moved to Eastbourne. Poole already had Tony Rickardsson who joined them in 2001.

The FIM has nothing to do with the EU. It is a global organisation and the governing body of motor cycle racing throughout the World.

It is possibly trying to persuade the FIM to allow him to ride here. Arguments in his favour will be put forward such as having Polish citizenship (his wife is Polish) and residing in Poland since 2009. Whether this is enough remains to be seen.

I don't know where these rumours relating to Emil are coming from. On 5th March 2022 the FIM placed a ban on Russian riders and I cannot see this has been rescinded. https://www.autosport.com/motogp/news/fim-announces-ban-on-russian-belarusian-license-holders/8727244/#:~:text=The FIM has announced a,MotoGP and its supporting classes.

Poland and Denmark. Bookmark this link to do you own research: https://speedwayteams2023.blogspot.com/?fbclid=IwAR0YPcZNeoRoU4Nmo7tmy4mlgtMCyGYoqP2YBda8Q3Eedkyxuw1zOl3HSPE

It could be the Troy Batchelor situation holding things up and waiting to see if he gets a Championship place. This appears impossible now and, having no team on the Continent either, he might decide to stay at home in 2023.

Justin Sedgmen and Jake Allen complete the side.

He's on my list: Max Fricke 8.55 Richard Lawson 7.71 Chris Harris 7.40 Nick Morris 6.48 Justin Sedgmen 4.44 Connor Mountain 4.40 38.98 Dan Thompson RS

6.12, leaving no obvious candidates.

No. Already signed in Polish 1st Division, Sweden and Denmark.

Yes. Jack Holder 8.61 Tobias Musielak 7.91 Adam Ellis 6.72 David Bellego 5.80 Kyle Howarth 5.28 Lewis Kerr 4.59 38.91

Try this: Jason Doyle 10.32 Danny King 6.41 Erik Riss 6.00 Keynan Rew 4.00 Hans Andersen 4.93 Chris Holder 7.16 38.82

Nick Morris is at Leicester.

At the moment he wouldn't have to as he has not signed in Sweden or Denmark, just Poland (Lodz). However I expect he will be back at Esbjerg as their current squad is incomplete.
