When the clock hit 0.00 there were 3 riders not at the tapes.

20 active tracks in Germany, there must be one better than Teterow.

Is Mark Baseby on a 2 point average?

Drew Kemp what a prospect, hope the lad goes all the way.

Grudziaz are staying up.

That's what I was thinking, hes getting on a bit but surely he can do 2 on the trot.

He was replaced by Theo so surely that doesn't count as a ride.

Think we should have whip round for a new engine for Gino at the next meeting, his bike looks slow still.

warsaw GP I would guess 50,000 poles

If we were going to change Gino it should have been a week ago when his average was over 5. Not worth changing him now, just hope he finds another engine from somewhere.

If Holder doesn't make top 8, I am not sure they will give him a wild card again. Fricke must stand a good chance of getting one. Didn't make the challenge but for a few years now Leon Madsen's form on the continent has been right up there with the best, plus a second Dane would be welcomed by organisers.

With Cookie missing out, I think Lambet will get a wildcard.

Why is this never shown live anywhere?

I think Scunny need to let Gino go and try another rider. M.kus had a terrible start to the year but with his experience I reckon he would do a job for Scunny at reserve. Maybe A.Lyger if he came in on a 5.2 average.

If jason was fit and we got Klindt in as a guest for Stefan I would fancy a Scunny win.

Is this meeting definitely on regardless of whether England are in the 3rd place play off?

Hope the water bowser is ready, need to keep the track watered throughout the meeting. If it gets slick and dusty Scunny will have no chance.

Anyone heard anymore on Worral, is he nearing a come back. There is a lot of away fixtures coming up in which we could really do with worral.

The racing has been excellent at the EWR but by about heat 12 the dirt has gone so wide and the dirt gets slick and dry . I think it would better to drag the dirt back a little and get some water into the track.

Germany has 20 active speedway tracks, it begs the question why Teterow keeps getting the GP and the pairs.

The choice of venues comes down to how much money the organisers are going to make.

Having a gp in Malilla might have taken away from the attendance of the Stockholm GP, fans might not turn up for two GPs. Hallstavik seems a strange choice to me, stadium is small, track is ok but really nothing special. I would say eskilstuna would have been a better choice.

Average is too high anyway 7.77, we have 7.15 to play with. Lyager would come in on a 7, he rides in Denmark (mainly Wednesday) and hes the number 8 for Czestochowa (mainly sunday) so he might be keen to get some more rides as he doesn't seem to get many in Poland.

I think it would be good if they had a gp at Pardubice and ran some shuttle buses from Prague so people could stay there.

So with Stefan unfortunately out for some time do Scunny go with R/R or do they look to sign another rider, Andreas Lyager would fit.
