racers and royals

To be fair neither was i- i was just stating that as a Quality rider(World U21 champion in 2020 ) who competes internationally and has ridden UK before there is no comparison- and yes Tom Brennan is a good rider.

No way is Brennan ahead of Lidsey. In my view no comparison- don`t forget Lidsey holds his own in the top leagues in Poland and Sweden.

Bloody Aussies !!!! no replies to emails. I can only assume that the MA`s worldwide streaming of tomorrow`s meeting fell through, and it`s PPV or nothing. That will be nothing for me and hope it`s put on you tube at a later date(like the U 21`s has recently).

I have just emailed Gillman speedway for clarification - Their preview issued today states Livestreaming: This meeting will be livestreamed on https://spacequakesports.vhx.tv/products/ (cost $25). This contradicts what MA posted in May regarding the free streaming of the meeting. Hopefully i will get an answer fairly quickly.

Adrian Gala joins Dackarna

Rospiggarna sign Zengota

That makes 2 of us- they have said they will, so we can assume they will keep to their word.

Saturday`s Australian 2022 final starts at 7pm local which i make 8.30am Saturday morning here(UK)

Absolutely zero chance of that happening- football fans want to be near the pitch not binocular distance away.

Spoken to Stewmac who will be in touch with you about what he knows about possible streaming links.

drink or three- blimey that must have been some bender !!!

I wouldn`t call 9 meetings for Region Varde in 2022 odd meetings.

If he started a race and got excluded and injured means he raced. If the 17 or 18 failed to score he would finish 16th and score a point. Injured in Practice means he didn`t start in the meeting and the reserves would take his rides. If neither scored reserve no 17 would take precedent and score a point.

That`s FSP he does like a drink or three

Jason Doyle along with Fricke and Jack Holder are riding in the 5 round 2023 championships in January.

Reports suggest Extraleague fixtures will be announced on Thursday December 15th.

Prem Pawlicki joins Piraterna.

Fricke stays with Indianerna

Kevin Juhl Pedersen stays at Grindsted.

The F 1 comparison is more like the reserve list GP riders replacing injured riders pre the meeting starting. the GP meeting reserves are normally youngsters who would just get the 1 GP experience and i just think GP points should be restricted to the 15 plus WC and riders off the reserve list.

Well if the 4 riders in heat 17 finished in positions 1,4,6 and 7 in the intermediate classification that would take some doing What i only found out last season is that the GP points from 20 down to 1 cover riders 1 to 18 on the night. I don`t think it`s right that a rider in the permanent 15 if injured in his 1st ride would score 0 points if the reserve scored as his replacement in the remaining heats. Imagine if the leader of the championship going into the final round just needed a point to be WC and was injured in his 1st ride and wouldn`t get a GP point unless the reserves also failed to score in the 4 rides they covered- could a few bob change hands

Why heat 20 ? there could be a big pile up in heat 19 Are you saying that anyone in the top 8 after 20 heats who cannot ride in the semi`s should be replaced by the next in line and their finishing place( points scored) is adjusted accordingly ? Not sure i agree with that.

Interesting question - and i believe the answer to be no the ninth rider is not allowed to ride and it would be three riders only. i have come to that conclusion because the 2022 rules do not mention about promotion for the 9th rider(that i can see). https://www.fim-moto.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Documents/2022/FIM_Speedway_Grand_Prix_World_Championship_rulebook_2022_-_14.08.pdf?t=1669716095
