Just thinking that the Poole track is better for gaters and Lewis is not always 100% ...however the lad will give every ounce of effort , so would like to see him come good. Think it is there for the taking but Nicholls should be too good. Harris would have to up his game seriously following his performances this year and i think this could allow Richardson and Kennett into the frame .... Final - Nicholls - Bridger - Kennett - Richardson

Dont say that too loud or dugard could sign him ......

It has been done to offer the punters something different than the normal individual event. Greg Hancock is touting riders to participate in the event and there is likely to be a matchrace between two legends to keep punters happy. With another big individual meeting at the same venue the week after makes sense ...

There was a strong rumour that Setanta may be pitching for Polish or Swedish speedway ... Has anyone heard anything on this ?!!?

Nicholls was #9 in the scorecards in 2008 so fair enough , although many will suggest he has had a number of chances already to stake his claim. Harris had a poor season on the SGP season, to be honest he not pull up any trees in a deleted Elite League. I like bomber and his style of racing ,I just dont think his style of racing is suited to racing on Ole Olsen created racetracks. Form an orderly queue and dont get off the white line ..... Seen more dirt in a Christian Orthodox Nunnery. The power of the British SGP

So they could not do exactly the same trick that they did in Ekilstuna a few years back was it ... ?!?!? Or why not hire heaters or lamps for the track to take the moisture out ..... either way farcical !!! Someone has to answer to this !!!!

Farce !!!!!! Would this be due to SGP tickets sales ?!?!!?? Perhaps they not sell enough to make it the SGP Series extravaganza ?!!!!!!! Is Nicki Pedersen fit ?? The speedway Grand Prix not look good if Pedersen not able to ride in the finale of the SGP series. If the track not great why not sort the track out and run the meeting tomorrow. Especially as riders and more importantly fans are already there ?!!?!??! Seems that IMG have been very quick to organise a re-scheduled meeting at Bydgoszcz - did they know in advance ?!?!? Plus could the likes of Adams and Andersen sue IMG as a decent result for Gollob would elevate him to 3rd .... and on a home track surely that likely

Only speedway could have an indoor meeting cancelled due to waterlogged track. Seems strange they dont work on track all night then race tomorrow as everybody will be there. Could nicki still be injured ? That would pee on the img fireworks. Strange to load the cards in gollobs favour . . Does smolenski get wild card or will saufutinov get a go on his home track . . Whatever situation is farce. Showpiece and finale made into a mockery

IMO it is between Holder and Saufutdinov with Pavlic at short odds ..... Batchelor could be a consideration if he takes to the track. Woffinden will be top 6 and I hope Lewis goes well. But think like last year will depend on the Holder vs Saufutdinov heat to determine the champion

The full line-up (in draw order) is: 1. Filip Sitera, 2. Grzegorz Zengota, 3. Emil Saifutdinov, 4. Troy Batchelor, 5. Patrick Hougard, 6. Lewis Bridger, 7. Adrian Gomolski, 8. Ludvig Lindgren, 9. Jurica Pavlic, 10. Matej Kus 11. Andriv Karpov, 12. Chris Holder, 13. Morten Risager, 14. Tai Woffinden, 15. Igor Kononov, 16. William Lawson. Reserves: Simon Gustafsson, Martin Vaculik. Does anyone know whether there will be any live internet links ?!?!?!?!!

Big last two SGPs for Holta, Nicholls, Lindgren, Iversen and Harris now ......

Walasek, Ulamek and Bjerre well that will have IMG happy because it should guarantee some more Polish sponsorship. Although I doubt it will sell anymore tickets !!!!!!!

Bjerre has just won his last heat so is PUK out and with Bjarne Pedersen has squeaky bum time for the a Wild Card slot. With sullivan out , Holder could be up for a place as could the young Russian .........

Think that guarantees Walasek a place as well If so Holta definately needs a top 8 finish .

Ulamek is in !!!!!! So Holta will need a top 8 finish in the SGP to get in next year !!!!!

Sullivan makes it three out of three !!!!! Best lock up the start girls

Back up and running cheers fellas ..... Nothing against Sullivan rather see Holder in the SGP series. Would like Iversen to get through, can see him improving in SGPs with a decent run without injuries.

Think my link has gone ** up !!!!! Cant get a picture ...no commentary nowt

Racing is pretty processional ..... Richardson 1,1 so thats his chances gone for SGP slot.

It was the Polish SGP in Bydgoszcz - Majority of the crowd was Polish so what is wrong with speaking to them initially ..... As for the SGP it was pretty dull for the most part - too slick. Apart from a few heats and when Gollob was it was pretty processional. Gollob was superb gave some excellent entertainment as only he knows how too ..... You may as well hand Nicki Pedersen the World Title now because nobody can get close to him,he is just to consistent. Both ruined their chances of victory as they tried to take care of each other on the first corner. nicholls did well to make the final and used his head well when finishing second in the semi final. Especially considering the way he started and then hit the speedway equivalent of the wall. I have no problems with Hancock giving it the "Monster" scenario and fair play to him for making the most of the final. No doubt IMG will curtail the monster sponsorship plugs unless they are looking to tap them as a major sponsor for next year :-))))))) Nothing would surprise me after they stopped stalls selling rider merchandise.

A 'Monster' night for hancock. Generally thought the grand prix was dull apart from gollobs exploits. He was excellent value and he and pedersen ruined there chances in final by taking care of each other. Imo the dane has the title won. . . He is just too consistent at the moment. Consistently better than everyone else. Nicholls did extremely well to make the final and it looked like he had blown his chance after his great start but used his head in semi final and rode a sensible race to get into the final. Now for the challenge tomorrow.

Would not surprise me that BSI have banned him from holding the drink .... Supposedly they dont allow riders to sell merchandise around the stadia anymore like that did at Wrocslaw , so people buy the SGP merchandise inside ...which we all know is tosh.

From Scott's website ..... Scott is taking a break from Swedish racing in order to help his Grand Prix chances. "I have taken the decision to give Sweden a rest for a month, after the Grand Prix, I had a chat with a few people and on reflection I need to make some changes, It has become a bit too much, and I'm not enjoying the racing as much as I should be. Things haven't been quite right and I need to take a step back with a view to getting the Grand Prix right. It is very important to me. It is a big, big move for me, it is something that I have never done before in my career. I feel terrible about letting my club down, but I think that it is something that I have to do to benefit my career. I have two more Grand Prix this month and I need to get things right."

To be honest if I was Hans Andersen , considering the treatment he has received from the BSPA , I would be ill too. Richardson obviously has the family situation he is having to deal with but I would imagine , he is not going to put himself overly out for the BSPA after there threat to ban him. Nicholls I would of thought this could of been an opportunity to give the IMG representatives a nudge if he had a decent result at the ELRC ...

Nicholls is not riding EL Pairs on Sunday ..... It is to do with being part of Nicholl's "regrouping" strategy for the SGPs. Check the www.eagles.elite-eagles.co.uk for more details.
