G Laguta practising on Tuesday and will make a decision then if he can race Friday.

No way. Never. Can't believe it. Unbelievable.

Hmm new article on speedway gp website still stating G Laguta is in the team? http://www.monsterenergyswc.com/news/article/5049/swc/monster-energy-swc-launches

Race off would move to Saturday, final Sunday. Then Sunday & Monday I believe

BT sport showing all 4 rounds

Where is this confirmed please?

Simon Lambert

Thanks for this. Hopefully they'll beat the Czechs then.

Urgh. Is G Laguta just out for event 1 or is he out for the whole tournament?

Great gesture, well done.

I wasn't

For those who watch their Sky Sports speedway via Now TV. You can get a free Now TV Sky Sports Day Pass (norm £6.99), which gives 24-hour access to the sports streaming service on any day in the next 12 months (you can use it straight away or wait) - but you have to claim it this Thursday (14 Jul). Also note, it's one pass per person http://www.nowtv.com/promo/free-pass

Shouldn't have ridden on a Tuesday then should they? Recent history shows it was crap night, both Swales and Rathbone were around then so should of known what to expect. Throw in crap weather & a crap team on the back of crap results and a crap turnout was inevitable. We went all last season without a number 1 because the club's Sundays & finances were always put before securing a big number 1. So what's changed this year? Why sign Cook and risk everything?

Great, thank you for this.

Hi Rob. Many thanks for your local knoweldge. I am staying at Diamond Lodge, if Kirmanshulme Lane is closed, will I still be able to access the hotel? Also we are going in to the city Saturday day, we thought the train to/from Manchester Piccadilly would be the best option?

Certainly looks like only East seating available now.

If it isn't riding on the grass, what was the green stuff I saw him ride over to get to the start gate? Oh and you still saw 4 riders.

Why would Sky talk up an event they don't televise & screened by their rivals?

Surely you've heard of travel plus tours? http://www.speedwaytours.co.uk

Brilliant. I can't wait for Sam to read off a sheet & tell us how big the track is.

Well we'll see touts for the first time since Cardiff this year, and last year and the years before that.

Not even close to a rendition of Amarillo

Why would BSI arrange to do that in an empty stadium?
