What a mess, though not a surprising one sadly.

For a club so well run as Poole this just seems so wrong, not rained off, not track water logged, but track un-fit.

Good grief, most men have been shaking theirs I`ve been wringing mine out.....now look whats happened.

Redcar have signed Thomas Jorgensen in place of Theo Pyjper.

A few seasons ago he look when he was in the Edinburgh team Clegg looked to be a real prospect, so its quite sad to see him where he is now, in fact IMO he has gone backwards. Obviously he needs a Championship team place and keep hold of his place at Rye House, he could end up with neither.

You could say the same about a number of riders though, have a look at the Rye House No3 for a start.

Unlike Kelvin I think the referee got that one spot on as Anderson fell all on his own.

Very good day for Jye Etheridge riding for his Premiership team Belle Vue where he scored 10+2 from six rides, he now rides in the return fixture later tonight. Meanwhile over on BT Sport Aaron Summers and a fit again NB Jacobsen take part in the meeting between Rye House and Kings Lynn.

Unless things change Saturday was the last Czech SGP, as their contract with SGP is now at an end. Not so sure a move to Pardubice is on the cards, and to be honest there are no noises coming out of Pardibice or BSI indicating that anyway.

Absolutely, Gappmaier going to reserve should be no bad thing for the team and with the form of Lindman in his last match then Berwick should have strength at reserve.

And its the Monarchs who have the honour of taking on the Bandits in the next round, great result. The Glasgow promotion arent exactly known for their patience with under performing riders, maybe just maybe changes are afoot.

I suspect Tai will have noted Lindgren`s move last night and Tai to be equally aggressive the next time they meet.

Aaron Summers 7-04 Kevin Doolan 6-72 NB Jacobsen 6-50 David Howe 6-04 Jye Etheridge 5-75 Danny Gappmaier 5-40 John Lindman 5-20 Averages are effective from June 1st so for the Newcastle fixture the team remains the same, after that Etheridge replaces Gappmaier in the main team.

Prague never misses as a GP venue and this weekend was no difference, and if last nights meeting was the last one the SGP series will be poorer with no Czech SGP. On the meeting, fairly processional early on but with the heat of yesterday, slick conditions that was of no surprise. On the fallen riders, I haven't watched it back from being there yesterday but Pedersen went down on his own, Sayfudinov brought Janowski off and should've been excluded, while the Lindgren move on Woffinden was very hard but just about fair.

Chris holder out on track walk so he is riding.

I find it strange that any GB authority had any power to stop someone travelling from Poland to Czech Republic, surely Holder would need his passport to get into Poland in the first place.

I didn't see all of practice but when I was there he didn't appear, that doesn't mean he isn't riding later as I don't think practice is compulsory.

Emil Sayfutdinov is definitely riding as he practiced last night.

Very unlikely as I am sat here watching him go round in practice. Very odd IMO

Lovely weather in Prague today, better than yesterday as it appears there was heavy rain. Bite to eat then off to the practice.

I travel everywhere by tram, your hotel will probably sell them, if not I`m sure they will point you in the right direction. You buy time with the tickets but they are so cheap go for an all day ticket, remember to validate your ticket on your first trip. The Bila Hora tram No22 will take you up to the speedway, the stop is about 10mins from the Marketa. Bags are packed ready for an early flight out of Edinburgh, see you there.

I`ve been called much worse, much worse.

I found Saturdays win, though very welcome, a bit uninspiring with hardly a pass all night. That said dont take anything away from Berwick, its been a while since they handed out a beaten as comprehensive as they did in this meeting, better in every aspect, especially gating which is not something that can be said about Berwick. Delighted for Howe and Etheridge with their maximums, especially Etheridge who really stepped out to cover for the "ill" John Lindman.

Giving some of our efforts at Ipswich that`s hardly a high bar there though is it. Big home win.
