Surely Hawkins meant it was a pain in the arse being without Emil.

Not seen anything but looked a bad one. Shame for MM because he was starting to get it together in the SGP series. Feel for Lebedevs he was excellent tonight and deserved a Final spot.

It would seem Fricke had no problems with it. 18pt MAX

I follow American Football and Phil means College Football , not the NFL which is decided on the teams record W-L-D The College Football Playoffs are selected by a committee rather than by a simple win-loss record because college football teams play such different schedules. The committee, made up of athletic directors and former coaches and players, ranks the teams based on their play on the field and considers conference championships, strength of schedule, head-to-head competition and comparative outcomes of common opponents. Florida State were controversially excluded from the play-offs despite going 13-0 through the season. They lost their QB through injury and the committee decided not to include them in the play-offs. Many believe that the Broadcasters were influential as a team with greater support / following would of missed out and Florida State without their star player would not of been competitive.

No great surprise, He said in interview it is the worst injury he has had and he has proved humans can't bounce a number of times now. Hope to see him back in 2025 fully fit and raring to go.

If a rider qualifies then they deserve the SGP spot. If Brennan get a SGP place and qualifies, he has as much right as any other rider. Although I imagine there are plenty of riders with more Prague experience but if you can put 5 starts together on that track you have every chance.

Lebedevs to make his first final ???

Pleased that there was a good crowd for Lawson. He was good value when an Eastbourne Eagle and has been a consistent rider for a good while now in both British Leagues.

Can't see the Tigers losing that lead at Foxhall. As much as Brennan + Lidsey tried they are never going to score what Emil + Doyley would. Ellis just back from injury it was always going to be a tough ask Holder Full Maximum 18 and Pickering 17+1 Paid maximum says it all. Throw in Chris Holder 10 points and 45+2 between 3 riders.

A verbal commitment with a club that can't guarantee it will be running.

Decent enough meeting tonight. Vaculik deserved the win. Another decent effort from Lambert who unfortunately missed his chance with the roll in the Final but another podium. Zmarzlik unlucky in the semi final but missing the Final saves the FIM having to ban him for a Kevlar infringement 😲😄 in order to keep it close. Lindgren made some brave moves in the dirt on the outside. Onto Riga next which may suit Lebedevs. Hopefully some E/W value on him next week.

Could see Ipswich being tempted with Brennan. He has announced that he has signed for remainder of 2024 season. Could be a live audition for '25 if Emil + Doyley return could come in for King possibly.

Petty decent night betting on the SGP On Bet365 riders points Huckenbeck 3+ Lebedevs 6+ Dudek +7 Janowski +7 Madsen under 10 Then Dudek vs Kubera and had Vaculik vs Lindgren Missed out on Holder and Kvech points return. Didn't back a rider to win too many tabs open trying to get Oasis tickets.,

Good for Tommy Brennan to get a couple more rides this season. I imagine that this is an audition for a team spot for the Witches in 2025.

Might have a little e/w option on Dudek and possibly Madsen who did ok in he league meeting.

With current placings in the SGP will Holder and Lambert bother with the SGP Challenge ??? Hope Lebedev's qualifies as he has been good entertainment in the SGP series and is unlikely to get a Wild Card spot as on Monster will have only 4 picks. 😲😀

Can see the the Lions nicking this if any of the Oxford team are off the pace. With Masters, Fricke, Lawson and Douglas , if the Lions can get Cook or Hagon making a decent contribution at reserve could be a close meeting. LAst heat decider anybody ??

Tigers will need Pickering to continue his fine form and the Holder brothers to both get in the points. Edwards has been improving this season but Anders Rowe has got better as the season has gone on. Think the Tigers can keep it relatively close but Stars win at home.

Good to hear a decent crowd for todays meeting.

Sounds as though the speedway team will be going to the dogs in "25. Greyhounds dont't know if they will be running and Speedway will only run if greyhounds do. Doesn't sound promising. Can the Brummies beat the Ipswich Tru7 Guest Witches tonight ??

Good to hear that Emil has come out of the crash without serious injury. Although will definitively be uncomfortable for a couple of weeks. Get well soon Emil. Guess Ipswich can follow the Kings Lynn protocol and cancel fixtures due to lack of riders now.

Great effort by Team GB - Bewley and Lambert were excellent and got better as the meeting went on and brought the trophy home !! Decent racing and good to see Latvia and Germany competitive in the Final. Was expecting more from Denmark but they just couldn't get the team right on the night. Crowd was as expected - no need for the temporary stand could of saved the cost of that over the week and as for food and drink - it is always a tedious with a larger capacity - like SoN or British Final etc ... Let's see if that meeting will be enough to convince WSD to offer a SGP.

Agreed - Kurtz will know the track and you would expect be able to adapt to the conditions on his home-track quicker than most. Should be a decent meeting I think this is wide open.

He was at the FIM Autograph session earlier today !!

Even running out of excuses no as Ermolenko said the elements were against his side throughout. The Brummies were always going to struggle this season. The team lacked any heat-leaders of note and needed the Polish riders to step up big time; both have been below par and despite Brennan being competitive the lack of a #1 and any support they were always going to be up against it from the off. Even bringing Freddie Lindgren in has not improved matters as all the riders are continuing to struggle for any consistency.
