Sorry, another Q…. if Frdddie doesn’t make it through the SWC semi, does Pollestad have to stay over for the GP or a reserve take his place?

If I was lucky enough to be in a position to build a track/club from scratch (with some very deep pockets) the first thing I'd be doing is following the Industry Hills model in the US where the track is essentially in a giant open sided warehouse. No rain offs to worry about. Then it would need to be big enough to facilitate 7 aside 4g football pitches, possibly a gym attached. You could run event's/summer/Christmas festivals etc there Making the track suitable for other disciplines such as flat track would also be a must. Because the vast majority of tracks in the UK have been around so long there isn't the infrastructure there to build upon to diversify. The stark difference in the infrastructure at Leicester to Belle Vue who were only built 4/5 years apart is more than evident

Will it be Huckenbeck in for Kubera, assuming the broken arm reports from DK last night are correct?

No Kyle Howarth, taking a break from racing HOWARTH TAKES A BREAK FROM RACING - Glasgow Tigers Speedway

Seems to be becoming the new Adam Roynon, shame as there’s a lot of talent there

Tungate all but in then, but of a shock that one

If he was switched on enough and had a life changing opportunity on the plate, he probably should have kept it in his pants for a few hours! Or as stories seem to differ, seek permission/advise of a potential delay to arriving home due to an opportunity of employment. Not rocket science is it

There was a shovel incident with Stoney and Anders but that was at Sheffield in the PLRC. I can remember something in a Mavericks meeting but I thought it was a broom? No idea who though. Some great ones there - Scotty also put his bike under the ambulance at Stoke giving it too much up the hill back to the pits after a fall in the race. That Will Beverage and Mick Powell incident was a shocker, ruined his career.

Makes sense, thanks! Will be surprised if Lambert and MJJ do it if they have a decent result this weekend

Surely Holder won't be fit? If he doesn't make it does one of the reserves step in or is it next highest scorer, I think was either Magic or Gusts?

BRITISH SEMI-FINAL QUALIFIERS: Craig Cook, Anders Rowe, Kyle Howarth, Drew Kemp, Jordan Jenkins, Connor Mountain, Jason Edwards, Ben Barker, Dan Gilkes, Alfie Bowtell, Simon Lambert, Sam Hagon, Luke Harrison, Luke Killeen, Jake Mulford, Joe Thompson. SEEEDED TO BRITISH FINAL: Dan Bewley, Tom Brennan, Leon Flint, Chris Harris, Danny King, Charles Wright, Adam Ellis, Dan Thompson. Why only one semi, with almost 15 riders from the championship not involved - including Britain's 2 biggest prospects (presumably they'll get the wild card spots). Is it based on last years results same as the GP qualifier picks? Including Bowtell over the likes of Scott and even Albitt is mental, regardless

More an age thing....

More the rumoured history of Zagar that people took umbrage with I think.

Lots of Poles calling them out on a post of Zagar on twitter and they've moved to say they were just using images/clips to help raise profile on socials, they didn't have any say in participation as it was run by the FIM. Will see if I can find it again

Well they are seemingly trying to distance themselves from it now on socials after the backlash of using Zagar to teach the young girls. Can't really make it up in the world of speedway can you
