I don’t believe Doyle is a contender for a title at all but is he in the best 10 riders in the world … yes 

I'd actually put him Top 8, at least - who can destroy anyone on his night. Plus, all these idiots bleat on about, "But we need new faces!", and then whine when these "new faces" can't compete at this level! And Doyle can be fun to watch...

I thought Parnitzski did pretty well on his debut, could have scored more points and crept into an LCQ but acquitted himself fairly well especially after looking very ordinary last night.

Well done mr woryna , not sure he'll be wc this year but what a fantastic achievement for him to win on his debut in the series like smolinski did years ago.

And I put my money where my mouth is and put a little wager on him at bet 365

TOUCH !! 

Had a couple of bets on riders points totals and rider vs rider. Some reward but not as much of a return as Woryna. 

See what Prague brings lets hope Morris brings some plastic ducks so he can race them after watering the track.

Looked like a proverbial gating tart to me 👀

Feel a bit for Bewley having to settle for 2nd on the night especially after that heat 19.  But we'd have all taken the two Brits getting to the final & Zmarzlik not looking invincible before the meeting.

A Kurtz sophomore slump could be due.

The post heat 12 tractoring was hard to endure inside the stadium but the racing afterwards made up for it.

Who knew a Coventry Bee could win a GP still.

It was good to see Bewley so visibly disappointed with the loss which I took to be a good sign, he's not really shown that before.

The second half of this SGP wasn't too bad, but the first half was a strain with the track resembling a swamp. It is not the first time Phil Morris has set a track under water. Why again and again?

Perhaps he is, I dont know too much about him but after last night I could have seen him finishing 16th with a big fat zero. As it turned out he didn't look out of place in a pretty strong field.
