I can confirm he didn't do the qualifiers. Leon needs to be in the GPs.

It must be a recent introduction because in 2013 both Tai and Darcy Ward were given wildcards without doing the qualifiers and they were both not in the GPs.

They give a wildcard to Chris Holder last year and he didn't do the qualifiers. He assumed he could qualify via the top 8 but didn't, surely that's unfair on the other gp riders that do the qualifiers.

Could Lakeside be playing Peterborough at home 4 weeks on the bounce, that would be a record.

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.
