Argentina story of the riders how they had to buy everything, bikes, equipment, travel, hotels just to be there is pretty saddening. At least you would like to think a big crowd would have been a reward for all their efforts. 

They get 3000 watching them in Argentina he said...

A UK promoter would kill for that!!!

Time for the staging country and the next four nations in the rankings to be seeded...

Then, on the Wednesday have just one meeting for the rest who can have two meetings previously to qualify for the Wednesday meeting..

With the top two going through to the final...

In the Qualifiers they could include an Independent Russia like the Olympics allow...

Good call by the ref, you just don't see British refs make those calls these days, dangerous or unfair riding

Fernando Garcia always dreamt of being a speedway rider and when he was younger he lied to his parents telling them an English club gave him a contract. He had little money but packed his bags and flew to England, he messaged loads of teams asking for a contract. He had no vehicle or place to stay so first night slept in the airport, then next night in a hotel and then when his money was lower (funds for travel) he slept for a week in a train station. He got a message for a guest booking with Berwick and then asked if he had a bike so he said yes, although he didn’t so he found an old speedway rider and bought his bike for cheap, after that he then realised he didn’t have a way of getting the bike to the track so the old speedway riders dad sold him his old van. He completed his first guest booking scoring 3+1, but Berwick then said the injured rider was back to fitness so he wasn’t required. He went back to the old van to sleep and lived off just apples and some fruit from a garden for three days, his phone died and he thought he would call it a day and sell everything and go home telling his family it didn’t work out, when he went to a petrol station to charge his phone Berwick messaged him offering him a contract and with that he lived and rode for various teams for 6 years. The only reason he finished speedway in England was because of covid and he had to move back to Argentina.

The commentary from Kelvin and Chris is slightly ahead of the video so it’s quite annoying.  Much prefer Kelvin on mute - no doubt about it

He needs ears in the back of his head.....:D

Bizarre exclusion for Mustonen, sure he impeded Bellego but they both stayed on their bikes would have made the race more interesting.  Wide line doesn't seem to be generating the speed it did last night.
