  1. Who replaced Covetti,I though you could bring him back in straight swop for that rider?
  2. This set-up lark is just an excuse,Cook and Worrall have been riding for years if they haven't learned anything by now their in trouble it's only some dirt on an oval.They all make the same excuse though.Good riders can have a bad 1st ride but generally sort it out.Woffy maybe should give them his machinery set up for Polish tracks is his intentions are that good.
  3. Decent meeting,some good racing,for what it's worth Ht 14 Graverson went hard under Jye but never really passed him into the bend and Jye was caught on the outside and Graverson did not give him any racing room and Jye ran out of track,he never touched him though.Though Jye was impressive against strong opposition ,he certainly is improving.Sheffield are a good team and will be thereabouts regarding play - offs.GP superstar Bates needs to stop kicking out at riders after the race when riders beat him,he is no angel himself.
  4. It's like musical chairs in Speedway these days.There will come a day when a rider has signed for every team in the league in 1 season.Farcical!!
  5. When you watch the crash that caused Nikki's last injury ,he was very unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time very simple crash comparing what we see in the cut and thrust racing in GP's these days.Your destiny is not always in your own hands in Speedway racing. I think he would be wise to retire considering the nature of his injury.He's been there got the tee-shirt and done it all ,he has nothing left to prove.The sport would miss him but really can't see him being the force of old in the present GP line -up.As he states money is not the motive for him coming back.Hard to resist though at his level.
  6. Thats the way the sport is going,they would be worried that a wet track and the riders will complain.Its soon going to be any rain forecast for the WEEK and the meetings will be called off.!!!
  7. The Glasgow promotion must be wondering if the have got involved in the right sport.They have raised the profile in Glasgow and the clowns running it in GB are bringing it down fast.
  8. Has she not had the operation though.
  9. You could get 10 riders from the tapes at Pardubice though,were talking Peterborough here!! Put the fishing rod away!
  10. It's really hard to believe how farcical the running of the sport is becoming.Its not rocket science to work out a formula for a10 Team event.There were far more Teams in the event years ago,even if it meant riding the number of rides each riders had at least every Team was represented which was the general idea of a National Competion .Unbelievable!!
  11. Can't blame Buster,riders need to take good look at themselves.Speedway is dying on its feet mainly because fans are being taken for granted.
  12. Geniune question,were they ever Advertised as being in it.Or have BSPA actualy told them they have been dropped out of the Competition.
  13. When did Cook get injured or is it illness?
  14. I think Kelvin Tatum use a belt drive clutch in long track not sure if he tried it on speedway tracks.think dirt getting in cause problems though,someone might be able to confirm.
  15. Its been at Somerset for years so what's your point!!!!.its been at Worky before so surely other tracks deserve a shot.
  16. Agree regarding your comments on Bewley,sensible riding and a lot of skill.
  17. If as it looks that £10 speedway will attract better support,it's time the Promoters told the riders that their gaurentees and points money will be based on crowd levels and Sponsership that they can attract.That way it MIGHT help the sport get back on its feet and stop paying money to top riders that are just using GB speedway as a top to their earnings abroad.If they making a fortune elsewhere the good luck to them but they are taking too much money out of the sport in GB.Riders are showing little regard for the paying public when things are not 100% for them and don't seem to care these days as there are plenty pay days by the farcical way the sport is run.
