If Poole can ride Wednesday's in the PL, why can't Birmingham run Monday's in the CL?

... and how many mid-season breaks they have

Technically, now you get a testimonial for 10 years in Speedway and not just for 1 club, I agree, it just seems a bit strange that he gets his testimonial now after 2 half seasons following a 6 and a half year break. After his lucrative testimonial at Wroclaw last year you have to wonder whether it'll be worth his while staging one in this country.

... meanwhile, Poole could be running into December!

So still 1H1A in the CL? Despite everyone I heard comment on it saying that it was ridiculous, some clubs to finish in August again

Woffy? It'll be interesting to see how it compares to his Wroclaw testimonial. I assume that as he's been granted a testimonial he will be back in the UK next year.

Meh

Because league Speedway is a team sport, not individual or pairs and I think that if the "team" is to get that extra league point then it should be about the team and not a couple of big hitters that have probably already done their job in claiming the super heat anyway... if not why not just make every team league meeting a pairs meeting? It would also help bring riders on and give them experience of pressure situation races.

Polish a turd day?

Listening to the podcast the other week they seemed to suggest that Phil Morris had sorted the Polish Thursday situation and that it wasn't going to be an issue... this, of course, remains to be seen.

Pretty sure I heard Martin Vaculik practising again today 😉

I did, when I saw them on my TwitterX news feed

I've thought this since day 1 and this should really be the discussion of this topic. Heat 15 is what it is, it's nominated, heat 13 isn't always guaranteed to be the "best" heat of the night, especially if your number 1 or 5 is having a bad night or gets injured, so leave that alone. The super heat should not involve any riders that have appeared in heat 15 imo, makes it more of a team result.

So we're now in the situation whereby we have a ridiculous scoring system because the winner of the GP MUST have the most amount of points but that winner could have finished 10th in the qualifying heats! Utter madness!

Makes it all more of a lottery... meh

Has anybody mentioned Dayle Wood? If not... Dayle Wood, although he did improve quite a bit in his 2nd year

Let's hope the home office don't look at their track record!

Approval from who? His mum?

Haven't they already got a stake in the Alpine F1 team, I think?

It's good to know that Martin Vaculik can still learn a thing or two from Paul Hurry 😉

I could hear a bike around BP today... Vaculik having a trial? 😂

Bomber not returning to the Spires in 2025 "Speedway is a funny old sport at times, I urge fans of any rider or any club to not look through rose tinted glasses especially this time of year, there is always more to a story, I can confirm my story is going to be a good one one day, but only when I hang up my boots - which won’t be any time soon." Not sure what he means by that... it's all a bit Eric Cantona 🛥🐦

Taxi for @foreverblue

Between Fricke, Masters, Becker, Lawson & Douglas only 1 match was missed by Douglas last season, which goes a long way towards Lions high league table finishing position I would have thought, it got them to the final but not over the line.

Just pick a sentence from each and re-word, that's what I did, I'm sure the the numbers will help... literally took me 5 minutes
