Defo! In fact Mountain for anybody (not Lawson, obvs)

Probably moved Mountain on to free some points up to bin Kurtz and his protective boot off

Yeah, I know and got wiped out recently

He'll be safer in the PL than in Poland!

Deafening silence coming from Leicester as clubs around them make changes jockeying for league position. After a near 6 week break from home action and several defeats on the road I would maybe have expected to have heard something.

I thought Darcy told him no PL this year?

Fastest qualifier Janowski 25/1 A fool and his money...

Of course, happy days ... they still can't spell Marshal though

Caption showing both Zmarzlik and Lindgren winning a GP at Gorzow in 2020!!

Janowski nearly copped a €16,000 fine there for not having his official race jacket on... I'd say he owes Phil Morris a pint!

It's no better in the Premiership, we haven't had a home meeting since the 27th of May!! With the next not due until the 4th of July. Whoever draws these fixtures up needs their head examining. The Plymouth riders were complaining about the lack of fixtures last night on BSN.

BSPL are selling the race jackets off on Ebay https://britishspeedway.co.uk/major-events/race-jacket-auction-update/ It doesn't say where the proceeds are going.

I think you may be right, they all seem interchangeable, there's only Batchelor missing from this equation

Is this Nora thing... still a thing? I noticed IoW were riding the other night and there were a few riders who compete in the NDL. I didn't think riders could ride in both? I know promoters can't or even lease their facilities out. Which also raises the question could the likes of Steve Boxhall, Lee Complin, Richie Worrall ride in Nora? Isn't it their SCB licences that have been suspended? Do SCB have jurisdiction over Nora? They could even give Covatti & Musielak a run out lol

And they can have Cook back if they want him

That's almost becoming a full time job

imo, it gives the best indication of how a rider is performing in Poland

Erm... the SoN is being held in Manchester, England

Didn't the winner say his engines were being tuned by Kowalski

I take it that once you're over 16 it's compulsory to move to 500's? A shame if so as the 3 meetings (SGP3) that I've seen with the kids have generally been better than 90% of the modern day 500cc meetings that I've seen. It'd be interesting to know what a modern day 250cc bike would be comparable to in terms of the 500cc era's

There's something quite refreshing about watching SGP 3, I'm not normally one for junior racing but these kids are absolutely the cream of the crop and fantastically talented. I don't know if it makes a difference but it looks like there's a fine line of being too big for the 250's. Cairns seems to have had a bit of a growth spurt since last year and almost appears too big for the 250's. I got the same impression with Mikkel Andersen from 2022 when he won it and 2023 when it looked as if he'd overgrown the 250 and didn't win. Unfortunately though, for whatever reason, historically the previous rostrum winners never usually amount to much. I wonder why? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedway_Youth_World_Championship?wprov=sfla1 Comparing it to the European Under-19 Individual Speedway Championship, ridden on 500cc machines it's a completely different tale, the 500's must be different beasts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Under-19_Individual_Speedway_Championship

Poland is not the be all and end all of the speedway world though

BRITISH SPEEDWAY AGM STATEMENT THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2022 And a significant development is a tie-up between the BSPL and MYLAPS which will see transponders rolled out to all Premiership and Championship clubs during the 2023 season. This technology will provide accurate information for live timing, and assist in resolving close finishes, and will also be made available to Eurosport and the British Speedway Network for use during their broadcasts. We're now in the 2nd half of 2024 and it appears that not all tracks are using them... although Picko had just indicated they are being used.

A bit rude and overly aggressive but it's not a duplicate thread, it's a thread with, hopefully now, the correct date (a bit of finger trouble). A polite note would have sufficed. I thought having a thread with the correct date on may just grab people who didn't know it was on to maybe attend and boost the SRBF coffers, I probably shouldn't have bothered.

Is that like reading this forum with your eyes closed?
