If he's serious about winning, which up until the last GP, when he was clearly gutted to miss the final, I'm not sure he has been with having the likes of Paco and Ellis in his pit bay. He would probably benefit from having a former Champ in his corner, at times it seems he doesn't realise how good he is and can be.

I wonder if that's why he said he wants to come back to England... to ride for who I'm not sure?

"Start as sharp a a bowling ball", brilliant!

Must mean he's a 25-30% worse rider than everybody else

Tai's bikes at least 10-15% better than everybody else's FACT!

Dickson has gone down in my estimation because of this... I've been binned off by email in the past, like you say cowardly. Turns out the special one is not so special after all.

And the commentators didn't mention that Ashley Holloway is the son of Mad Wellie or Tai the son of Rob

Is pit to rider communication banned in Speedway? Speedway seems to be one of the only motorsports that don't have it. How do riders know what time they've posted in quali until they return to the pits? Could also be useful for riders who are in front to know where an attack is coming from.

The only thing that may stop him is s rainy Friday night in Vojens... but it never rains there, especially in September! It should be in the bag though

Top draw final that

I think you're on the wrong forum

A tactical joker only the ref can play . I like it

Looks like the ref has a dinner date and is on a promise

Who wasn't even a house hold name in his own house! Anyway... that's what you're for

Marcelina! How very dare you! A little dig at British tracks there!

Yes, but we can't have them in this country because of... er reasons

Sören Sjösten

Never saw it spelt like that though lol we must have anglosised it for him

What a funny way of spelling Eddie Jancarz

technically I suppose they're right on that one

It's there as sgp round 5, starts at 18:55

That's quite a high attrition rate though

What is the point of the British Youth setup? Is it to produce world class riders or is it to produce local talent to sustain league Speedway? Or is it a vehicle for well meaning individuals to be involved in the sport in some way? This year more than any I can remember has seen the young talent in British Speedway being sh@t on with the Thompson's bearing the brunt of it with their transfer merry go round (and it's only June!). We see increasing amounts of our youngsters now "concentrating" on the Polish U24 league... this is no good for the sustainability of British Speedway. I've just had a look at the riders who appeared in a BU19 Championship between 2011-2020 and are no longer riding because of the lack of opportunities for British youngsters. This list isn't very scientific and my knowledge of the lower leagues isn't great so some of these may actually still be riding but they were named in the BU19 line-ups during this period, had all the kit and must have had some ability and interest in a career in British Speedway: Danny Phillips, Tom Stokes, Dan Greenwood, Joe Jacobs, Oliver Greenwood, Darryl Ritchings, James Sarjeant, Michael Neale, Liam Carr, Conor Dwyer, Ashley Morris, Tom Perry, Nathan Greaves, Adam Kirby, Josh Bates, Ryan Terry-Daley, Daniel Spiller, Sean Phillips, Scooter Webster, Layne Cupitt, Jack Kingston, Adam Portwood, Luke Harris, Danno Verge, Tyler Govier, Kelsey Dugard, Luke Ruddick, Josh Bailey, David Morgan, Ben Basford, Keiran Douglas, Ellis Perks, Alex Wilson, Jack Parkinson-Blackburn, Lewis Miller, Luke McKenna, Stephen Whitehouse, Taylor Hampshire, Ryan Kinsley, Jamie Halder, Luke Harris, Connor Locke, Callum Walker, Ben Woodhull, Joe Lawlor, Zach Wajtknecht, William O'Keefe, Matt Marson, Charlie Brooks, Kyle Bickley, Alex Spooner, Charlie Brooks, Elliot Kelly, Sheldon Davies, Corban Pavitt, Kean Dicken, Archie Freeman, Oliver Rayson, Brendan Johnson, Richard Franklin, Richard Andrews, Shane Hazelden, Jake Knight, Marc Owen. British Speedway would be in a far healthier position if this talent had not just been abandoned after they'd hit the age of 19 or 21

What a match! First time I've been to Sheffield in about 10 years and to be honest I was expecting a bit of a dull affair as it's not the track it used to be... Wrong! Lions were electric from the gate with the only real opposition coming from Jack Holder and Musielak who was always dangerous when behind if a little wild at times. One thing I can't understand... Bomber was clearly the slowest rider out there, riding slower than a slow thing yet unbelievably he was passing people and then managing to stay in front... when he wasn't clipping the fence and falling off, it was quite amazing to watch. Track probably just needed a tiny bit more water on it and it would have been perfect and I wouldn't have come home with a Tiger tan! Any advice on parking as it was the usual bore getting out of the car park... which I didn't mind so much in the past but now I'm paying £3 for that privilige it's not so much fun, even after an away win
