Got to know him when he rode for Reading in 1994- Shane is a top bloke

SON 2 Friday July 29th (Polish) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZxdXLQqpVM

He is his son and Shane is over in Europe presently and was in the pits last evening with him.

JK`s excellent racecard for tonight https://www.speedwayservice.at/images/racecards/2022/SoN2022-Final.pdf If Kelvin used it it would be clear that after heats 7 and 14 are when the teams have had equal rides- blocks at 4,8,12,16 are irrelevant in this comp apart from grading brakes. Live on Eurosport 2 from 5.30pm, anyone without it can watch on http://kergel.ucoz.lv/ http://yg.freestreams-live1.com/euros2-hdlive/ https://daddylive.one/stream/stream-42.php VK to follow

Even if the other 2 had been there Woffinden wouldn’t have been because he has said often that he doesn’t watch Speedway- It’s just a job to him.

It’s there if you look - presumably you have entertainment AND SPORT ?

You mean you are going to desert me and watch on Eurosport 2 tomorrow

Trouble is we are talking Speedway here- in Wroclaw no crowd for 2 semi`s and race-off- sell out final(if pricing right) and you want qualifiers !! Edit they have not been seeded as it has been said all season that the SON would be the determining factor in teams in the SWC(top 8)

Lodz v Zielona Gora on Sunday is POSTPONED now Saturday August 6th start time 1pm UK time Canal + Sport 5

Speedway World cup in 2023 is now in Wroclaw instead of Torun. Poland are seeded to the final and the 8 teams in the semi’s and race- off are GB Sweden Denmark Australia France Czech Rep Finland Germany SON 2 will not be part of the Wroclaw event but will instead be a part of a GP weekend- venue TBC

Exactly and surprise surprise when the minnows met the power house teams of course they were all 7-2`s ?? NO is the answer !!!

Possible live updates from Zarnovica tomorrow- start time 2pm UK time https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/139062/eliminacje-do-imej-w-arnowicy
