Anybody know if this is being covered on live updates? And if so where

And I thought it was the Scots who had supposed to be canny I wonder if there will be many Scots there cheering on "Great Britain"

... Or just ask the forums... better than Google!

Why didn't I think to check the Shropshire Star Thanks for the info (and Badge)

I'll ask again... why was Freddie Lindgren not riding in the competition? Does anybody know, has it been stated in the press? I was following his van back up Hyde Road after the meeting on Sunday.

Magic was Tragic all day, end of. Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap Tragic Janowski

Moaning about the moaners

I would say that the BBC is irrelevant to most sports fans

Rob Godfrey is probably sat in his caravan this very morning formulating a plan to bring British Speedway back to the big time!

So that's 1 million a day... and they're probably all tuning in to listen to the looney stories the BBC love to cover... while the rest of the 65m population carries on living their real lives.

If Belle Vue rode on Saturday nights I'd happily make the trip up there to watch every week despite living less than a mile and half away from the Leicester track.

So what... nobody watches or listens to the BBC any more

Great sportsmanship from Janowski. Well done our boys!

Can see the Brits nicking this

Can see the Danes nicking this

It's Tragic Janowski again tonight

Just hope Dan wasn't watching the telly before he went out... or on the forums

It does seem to be one of many flaws with this competition

Except for Lemo.

At least with Dan riding it'll put an end to the debate of whether he should have been picked ahead of Tai or Rob. Should be fun

There's a lot of footprints on it!

Much overnight rain?

What's the weather doing up there this morning?

If you need a flow chart to explain the rules, something is very seriously wrong with your sports with your scoring system

I've just been back and read through the early posts due to the hysteria in the later posts calling for people to be banned from the forum because they thought the racing was no good. I can only find 1 post saying it's boring and another saying not as good as Monday. I think the main gripe was that practice was held so late that it didn't allow for time for the track to be prepped properly like it should have been for a World Championship event. Consequently the track had one line about an inch from the fence. So instead of riders passing inside and out with ease like we saw was doable on Monday evening we saw Desperate Dan kamikaze moves. If the dirt line hadn't been so wide Tai would not have been making that move, we all know he likes a cut back. PHB riding too wide, because it was the only line. Can't remember the Swedes crash but they were also pretty wide. I've seen quite a few meetings at BV over the years and you just don't see crashes, thankfully as it's a blummin fast track. To see 2 big ones in the same meeting and PHB's could easily have ended differently says a lot about the track. The racing was pretty good, better than you'd see at most places, the track perp on the other hand was a disgrace for a World Championship event.
