Triple.H.

Nothing wrong with his racesuit, its a personal opinion that young riders should wear something a little less flash,much like at a lot of premiership football academies players are only allowed to wear black boots.As for ego i thought he looked a bit full of himself,hopefully he is as you say very grounded and good luck to him he is learning far more in each meeting on the continent than he will doing lap after lap on his own.I dont know the situation with Australia but if he is eligible to ride a 500 down under at his age maybe he should be encouraged to try and get on the Young Brits trip.Getting time off school would oviously be an issue.

He rode in a individual meeting in Germany a few weeks ago and finished runner up i think against good standard opposition.Exceptional talent for his age

From what i saw on monday he would benefit more from a plain race suit and a little less ego though he does look pretty good.

Apologies for another thread re Cardiff but i'm sure one of the reasons Cardiff couldn't be earlier in the year was the Olympic authorities require the stadium for the preceding month,now listening to Talksport today and they were talking about Tennis ,Wimbledon which finishes less than 2 weeks before the Olympics starts is not affected by this 1 month rule.Generally by the start of the 2nd week of Wimbledon the courts are pretty much bare of grass in certain areas so will they returf them? or leave them as they are i'm sure a returf would take a long time to settle,makes sweeping a few thousand tons of shale off a concrete floor seem a lot easier by comparison.So is it one rule for the rich and another for the poor.

The simple way round it is the FIM tell the authorities that they need to be able to get Visas sorted so you pick them up on entry to the country and the same for mechanics etc Having read in the Speedway Star this summer re the USA teams problems in Ukraine with bikes permits and visas why don't the FIM say to the country concerned that an official of the countries version of the ACU with a bit of clout meets you at immigration to sort any problems such as the bike is unsuitable for road use or has no number plate etc I apologise in advance for poor punctuation but I am in the pub and cannot findd a full stop or comma on my phone But I have just rediscovered the cracker with the mistletoe abd she has bought me a pint Desperate Women you have to love them

Oh to look on the bright side

Surely the whole bloody idea of a GP in New Zealand is due to an expansion of the series and why not in a country with a fantastic hiistory in the sport• As for none speedway fans going just to enjoy a festive day out that's exactly what the sport needs you never know they might get hooked on it

You can always go and make some Gingerbread. whoops forgot to mention like most of Poland there is plenty of lovely views and i dont mean the buildings.

The KC stadium could be a reasonable venue for a temporary track for a GP quite close to the city centre so a fair few watering holes plus my sister lives near the Humber Bridge so my digs are sorted. On a more realistic note there must be plenty of brownfield sites in the area where something along the lines of Redcar.Scunny etc could be built. Need to have a plan for other things other than speedway at the complex so the council can see some other benefits to the local community.

Was that BFD in the green cape waiting for the rerun of heat 12

I reckon if you went into one of the major high street bookies you could maybe get a decet price o Krasnikov or either of the Ivanovs they know less than nothing about speedway so the Ice version would be a totally alien concept. Also more of a question for Conkers etc why isn't Franky Zorn riding in these meetings he generally seems to struggle on Russian ice and surely the race and practice time would do him the world of good in the World Championship against the Russians.I know it would cost an arm and a leg but couldn't Austrias federation back him.He has got to be up there as there finest motorcycling star i cant think of any others off the top of my head in other disciplines.

Thought i'd be the first of many and ask Whats the weather like?

Justt noticed Bomber is drinking Buxton water Tai some unknown water and i'm on Kronenbourg. Why aint someone at the BSPA sorted out a deal to get Team Gb all drinking the same water from Britain. Product placement on the Tv and ads on the bikes and racesuits also plenty of space on the team caps and polo shirts, all the major supermarkets have their own brand British water think a link up with a big worldwide but specially european player like Tesco could be a cheap deal for them and pay the transport and accomodation bills for the team very easily. Maybe too much of a revolutionary idea for the 'Forward thinkers' at the BSPA.

Round on postponed till tomorrow due to bad weather as een on sky sports news

I got a text up and also saw at least 2 riders texting,with the benefit of hindsight i should have texted don't any shops in Cardiff sell slightly longer and looser dresses with a nice pair of matching sensible shoes. Not that i or any bloke who was in there were complaining.

Schools Out as Alice Cooper would say.

Travelplus are still advertising their deal in the Star might be worth giving them a bell on +441473730000 or try their website www.speedwaytravelclub.co.uk.Fairly sure the office is open 9am till 1:30-2pm ish.

Martin Goodwin i reckon

Seem to remember when he rode for the mighty Cheetahs on a northern tour he had a bird in his room at Berwick,turns out it was a seagull that got in through the window.

Rodders went wide and accidentaly stuck him in the fence,most people thought it was mistaken identity and he thought it was Mudguard coming round him.
