racers and royals

Really enjoyed the whole weekend as always-Somerset followed by the GP. thought the rider presentation superb-just one thing I would like to see at Cardiff is some sing-a -long songs during the interval`s to get the crowd on their feet.Poland do it well at their GP`S.Also didn`t see the bongo cam used this year-pretty funny when used before.Just thought the intervals were a bit flatter music wise,than in previous years.

So when is it ? normally we have a few who think they know-and are wrong and some who know and are right

You have never heard of the expression "it`s not over until the fat lady sings"- I think Barry the cat(he normally knows what time of day it is) is saying that time has run out for the Brummies.

Wildcard for Togliatti has been named 22 yr old Vitaly Belousov -so no Artem Laguta in the meeting Meeting starts 5pm uk time on Sunday 20th July

Esbjerg 39 1. Niels-Kristian Iversen 13 2. Rene Bach 9+2 3. Mikkel Bech 3+1 4. Max Fricke 9+1 5. Patrick Josefsen 5+1 Munkebo 45 1. Hans Andersen 14+1 2. Kasper Lykke Nielsen 7+3 3. Kenni Arendt Larsen 12+2 4. Morten Risager 11 5. Jesper Scharff 1

Another chance for MJJ then.

Thanks Jacqueline - I had every faith you would come up with the answer. Is there a problem with Esbjerg allowing Kanal sport access for filming their home meetings?

Sorry Pandorum but Dave was no way lamentable-he made 1 mistake,that was all-don`t forget Nige and Kelv have been doing it for years.I think apart from the odd GP world feed this is the first live TV work Dave has done-he is coping superbly in my opinion- It cannot be easy with a producer continually instructing him through an earpiece to pause for the compiling of highlights,and countdowns to ad breaks, cueing in interviews etc.

If all goes to plan-no major crash delays-the fireworks should wrap it all up by about 8.15pm at the latest.

Can I make a guess on who that new race director could be-thinking about it,could it either be JS or TB ??

Although Wednesday`s match Esbjerg v Munkebo is definitely on-I am pretty sure it`s not televised-Maybe one of our Danish friends can confirm.

So will the "fab four " remain intact over the remaining 6 rounds ? Cardiff Saturday 12th July start time 5pm uk time Woffinden 11 - 13 Hancock 11 - 13 Pedersen 10 - 12 NKI 10 - 12 Ward 10 - 12 Hampel 9 - 11 Zagar 7 - 9 Bjerre 7 - 9 Kasprzak 7 - 9 Holder 7 - 9 Batchelor 7 - 9 Lindgren 6 - 8 Jonsson 6 - 8 Harris 6 - 8 Smolinski 5 - 7 cook 3 - 5

That`s because I`ve got a wise head on old shoulders-much like you Philip

Can endorse that as well-remembered all my details from before-cannot have taken more than 4 minutes from start to finish-Congratulations to Torun and kupbilet.

Like the Chapmans did at Mildenhall you mean ??

Shouldn`t think they would want to take the risk and expense to lay a temporary track(they haven`t used one yet-although they were talking about a new stadium in Gdansk-not normally used for speedway) as long as a British track was FIM approved in theory a round could be held here.
