They may do if somebody takes a knock on the first round

They've been trying all that and it hasn't worked

Arguably he was at his best before then 1981 world final debut - 3rd

Because Poland is where it's at and that is obviously the model to follow. I have in the past suggested that UK clubs should link up with Polish clubs to act as feeders for them, especially for when the juniors get too old to ride at 6 and 7 for them, they could quite easily fade into obscurity where if they were farmed out to British clubs, with a cash subsidy, they could gain experience on our tracks, they would be committed to turning up every week and our lads would have better opposition to race against... win win

What a ridiculous idea... is what I first thought when I saw this, but the more and more I think about it, it's the kind of genius, out of the box type of thinking that's needed. 1. Tai Woffinden 2. Robert Lambert 3. Craig Cook 4. Dan Bewley 5. Steve Worrall 6 Charles Wright 7 Adam Ellis 8 Richie Worrall They'd see off Rybnik at least... quite who would turn up to watch them and who'd bank roll it I'm not quite sure. Sounds like the type of thing that the Danes would be thinking of. It'll never happen of course

It's an age old argument and I know you can only beat what's put in front of you, but yes I was referring to the UK league of the 80's. The standard across the world was a lot less than it is these days, meaning that if you did have a bit of talent and were a professional you had a distinct advantage, could beat the semi-pro's more often and earn more money to put into your machinery and setup etc. Is winning a GP series over 11/12 rounds a greater achievement than winning it over 6 rounds? For me it is. Tommy rode across the eras of World Championships crossing from one off to GP's and leagues becoming fully professional and didn't win a world title in either era.

No Dave Goddard for today's matches so Premier Sports will be operating the commentator replacement facility (one presumes! or it could just be silence)... I hope it's the 5-1er, 3-3er guy

There always used to be touring teams going out to Aussie for a few months during their summer, I agree, GB could have (and still can) organise a touring team to take around Europe for the rest of the summer to get some much needed continental experience, in fact it's an ideal opportunity at the moment due to the lack of domestic league racing

There's quite a few modern day riders that have been banned coming from that area then. Not sure how often how many riders get tested

Please, explain, what have I missed?

Finn Jensen for Leicester, used to drive me mad!

Not for me... Loctaev fell off by himself, Berntzon can't control what other riders are doing. Would have liked to have seen Loktaev make it though, just to freshen the series up a bit... Too much mediocrity in there at the moment

It's probably a good case for holding the challenge after the SGP has been completed

You must be a very poor man

Glad to see Berntzon make it, he's shown promise for a few years now without making a breakthrough. Hopefully it'll be a boost for Swedish Speedway

That's unlikely

Did Zagar cross the white line there on the first turn?

Big impact, just missed the last panel... Been starting well in his last 3 rides, what could have been, I assume he changed bikes after his 2nd ride... Are Stead and or Allen there?

He's blown it there... Looking like KK, Zagar and Milik now... Boring

And Coventry in whenever he rode for Cov, a completely forgettable year

Does KK have his brother spannering for him? They look remarkably similar

Would like to see Berntzon and Loktaev make it personally. 2 new faces

Or not turning up

I wonder if KK will be paraded around the track in an open top Rolls Royce when he returns to Gorzow

I know... but I know some folk watch the matches that are on PS on these streams that R&R provides
