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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There is an announcement re Cardiff 2009 on Sky tv tonight is it just going to be the date ie sometime in June or could it be something a bit different.I hope its later in the season maybe even the last GP and World U21 final on the sunday.
Daugavpils is a ****hole stay in Riga till saturday,though a place called citycentre is ok couple of bars,bowling alley and pizza place.
The prison is a sight to behold though,a few like that over here would stop some people reoffending.
