I think Belle Vue (Manchester) will do a fine job weather permitting. I think 2 GP's in 2 days is probably a reflection sadly of how to make the event more viable, as the reality is the Sport only appeals to Speedway Fans. It also provides a backup plan should it rain. Undoubtedly the track is conducive to Racing and therefore you know it will be an entertaining GP if it is dry. Personally think it will be interesting to see what happens in the future.
