  1. When asked what the track length was on TwitterX British Speedway (surprisingly) replied 310m... and not the 396m that is stated elsewhere πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
  2. Think it lucky that GB Speedway Team has been subbed out or the team could very well have been Simon Lambert (c) Bomber Mark Lemon Peter Shocker & Middlo
  3. Think big... for the season 😁
  4. The only way I can see promotion and relegation working in Speedway is with the removal of the points limit, this way clubs will find the level that they can truly run at and you won't get somebody like Scunny winning the CL (difficult to believe) and not being able to afford to move up. It's got to happen, can't see it ever will though not in its truest sense, if it ever did it'd be some kind of contrived version of promotion & relegation.
  5. Ticket 00001... I hope you get some kind of award or golden ticket?
  6. Leicester only has 1 match in the next couple of weeks
  7. From what I understand it still won't be watchable through a web browser in May, it'll be an installable app.
  8. That's the $64,000 question! Has the latter brought the former? And what happens if he loses that engine, for whatever reason, will he revert to type or is this the kick on he needed?
  9. JT 2nd best rising star so far this season and Gilkes did okay for Sheffield before, either got to be better than Jye Etheridge.
  10. JT's 28 day contract has come to an end and Gilkes was practicing at Leicester only the other day. Sheffield could effectively have 2 rising stars like Lynn have done
  11. I know TapesRup's sister TitsRup... they're pretty big within British Speedway πŸ˜‚
  12. Who's got the last SEC spot (Lamothe-Landerron), do we know? Brennan & Flint got the other 2 surely DT should get the last quali spot
  13. What happens if Dan calls in his engine loan? I'm inclined to agree with you btw πŸ‘
  14. Doesn't the same exemption apply to national championships though? ...any way, no bans have been handed out yet
  15. I think they used to sponsor the whole series a few years back and they were very prominent with the branding on the fences and the start tarts etc. From Ai: Monster Energy did not stop sponsoring the FIM Speedway Grand Prix (SGP) series; rather, they shifted their partnership. After acting as the title/presenting sponsor, Monster Energy transitioned to being the "official energy drink partner" for the 2022 season. FIM Speedway +3 Following this, they further solidified their involvement by extending their partnership for three more seasons starting in 2023, specifically returning as the title sponsor for the FIM Speedway World Cup (SWC). WBD Sports +1 2012–2021: Monster Energy served as a major partner/presenting sponsor. 2022: Shifted to official energy drink partner. 2023–Present: Continued partnership and returned as SWC title sponsor. WBD Sports +2 They have remained actively involved in supporting the series and sponsoring individual SGP riders, such as Tai Woffinden, Fredrik Lindgren, Dan Bewley, and Jack Holder, at least through 2025
  16. They haven't done for years... they stopped a number of years back and looked to be something like "the official drinks supplier" and sponsor a lot more individual riders.
  17. Mr Dickson must currently be sitting on the horns of a dilemma ... Joe Thompson's 28 day stint is coming or has come to an end and Dan Gilkes was at Leicester the other day having a practice. Does he bin off the steady Eddy Joe Thompson, who is currently 2nd only to Jason Edwards of the "Rising Stars" and must be said performing above and beyond anything we've ever seen from him before, albeit on his brother's engine... or does he choose to put, injury prone, Dan Gilkes back into the team? Decisions, decisions πŸ€”
  18. It's a strange one how Leon Flint can elect to do an SEC qualifier missing his Glasgow Cup match at Plymouth and receive no ban but "injured" riders cop a ban πŸ€”πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
