Surely the glory of riding for your country should mean more than money.

Im sure thats the reason. Isnt it time for a new account and username.

My moneys on yes.

Fair enough but we have only heard Glanz`s side of the saga.

At least Poole has been back on a bike doing second halves hasnt he,so he might be ready for a team return.Any chance of bringing in a new club asset is a risk worth taking,wether its a risk worth taking now of course is another matter.

It may be the to go but if Ipswich are serious about getting into the play-off shake-up,its a bit of a chance bringing in a split new rider at this point of the season.

And for that Im very thankful. Where you have a tactical ride rule there will always be a risk of riders riding tactically,thats what we saw with firstly Pedersen,then Jepsen Jensen and Watt.Im sure that it will be looked at over the winter along with the no reserves rule.

Thanks,Ward to replace Batchelor I take it.

Do we know what time practice is tomorrow and is Darcy Ward likely to be there,Jason Crump said during last nights meeting that Ward might be there depending on flights,to ride or to watch.

I find it amazing that people are calling for Middlo to go,lets face it there isnt another manager anywhere that couldve done any better with the team we have at present,and the team we had last night and for Event 1 was our strongest team.It might be a good few years untill we see anything like success for Team GB,or in the GPs for that matter.Hopefully the things that Morris,Vatcher and others are doing now will bear fruit in the future,but like I say there are no quick fixes here.

Denmark do look the team to beat,but if Mallila is a horse power track then dont rule out the Poles,as for Team GB,third is the best we can hope for IMO.We have had two good meetings so far in the SWC,hopefully thursday & saturdays meetings will be just as good.

Another great meeting last night,fair play to Team GB,they couldnt do anymore and they gave their all.Thought the Aussies were there for the taking but no,so play-off it is then.

I dont see anybody else who you could put into the GB team that would make it stronger,I hope they all have a great meeting,still cant see passed the Aussies though,whether they have Darcy or not.

Its something that needs looking at for future years,as you say it only takes a team to lose a rider to injury and their chance is gone.

Event 2 is far easier to predict than Event 1 IMO,Austrailia will win by as many as they want,GB will be a comfortable second,with the Czechs then the Germans bringing up the rear,though it might not be till the last couple of races where third and fourth are sorted out.

I`d be confident that GB have every chance tonight,sadly the meetings tomorrow night,not so confident.

Fairly decent meeting with the scores close throughout,going into the last race there was every possibility of a three man run-off,and what a race that wouldve been.

Looking good for Denmark,but dont rule out the Ruskis,Poland looking weak on their own track.

World Championchip speedway,go hard or go home,Fisher was hard in the first corner thats all.

Agreed,how shocking it was of Fisher to make a good start and chase the dirt line.
