Feels very much like they’re on damage control and trying to control the narrative to suit and cover themselves. Especially after the Rzeszow statement about legal ramifications.

Difficult one this year: Freddie Hodder 7.11 Colts NL Luke Harrison 7.66 Scun/Sheff Steelers NL Ashton Vale 6.24 Oxford Chargers NL Stene Pijper 4.82 Leicester Fox Cubs NT Luke Harris 5.36 Scun/Sheff Steelers NL Senna Summers 3.44 Brum Bulls NT Cooper Rushen 3.00 Leicester Lion Cubs NL 37.63

Was his first meeting back over here after a pretty bad smash, getting through that meeting unscathed was probably his main priority. From what I've seen of him he's much the opposite (not in terms of career but racing style) but seems to get himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. He's already had some bad crashes and the majority of them were due to others knocking him off

Can see King having a spell at reserve this year the way Thompson's trajectory is going, which will do him no harm at all. I've been overly critical of him the last few years but effectively being the no 5/6 in averages should suit him well and turn him into the trump card that Harris is.

Would be very 'speedway' if Marson is in it...and wins it over Cairns! We all know who the better rider will end up being but it would make me chuckle all the same.

Didn't manage to get out there unfortunately... we found the BaniaLuka pubs at 9zloty a pint! Needless to say we didn't venture too far from the square. What a place though, definitely looking to get back out there, hopefully during the season.

Anders was mascot for a while when he was a kid so I'll take the technicality on 3 riders that have worn a Wasps race jacket! Great line up. Hope he gets a bumper crowd I imagine he'll be over for it but regardless of whether he does a few laps. There will probably be a few of the old Newport Danes over, wouldn't be surprised to see Lund there as well

Gutted I can't make it up the line up is looking good for an early season testimonial. Would be great if he can get Kim over to ride for the Wasps. Can't see Mads riding in the actual meeting but wouldn't surprise me if he's over and does some demo races with Kessler.

I have seen that on there, but who knows what they would actually use these days. @gmuncie suggested there isn't a specific call out for it and, all in the interest's of the sport and all that. It would make sense if they are trying to use up their points that they'd be trying to argue an average. Otherwise surely Trigger would have been in a long time ago.

His green sheet is 4 and they only have 3.97 to play with? Just checked and on the declarations page he's classed as a 4 but on the stats section says his green sheet is 3.88. Who knows what he would actually come in on, presumably they could be trying to argue for the latter to fit him in.

5.37 before the Brit reduction

FIM Speedway - News - SPEEDWAY GP STARS ON 90 SECONDS FOR 2025 Morris said: “We have listened to what the fans have said with regard to gardening at the start line. Riders previously had two minutes in which to do what they wanted, but we have decided to cut that down to 90 seconds. It’s taking 30 seconds of gardening away before every heat. “TV viewers are usually watching the replays of the heat before when riders are preparing their starting position for the next race. But for fans watching in the stadium, it should feel as if the action is progressing a little bit faster. Changes for changes sake?

There for a stag do early March, shame it's too early for any meetings. We're staying about 45min walk from the track so I may see if I can slink off for a few hours to have a look.

Perhaps they have a Dayle Wood type 2 point Aussie/Kiwi lined up that they are confirming the average for? Not close enough to know if there are any these days that would qualify but there's usually one. Has Ben Whalley got a British granny?

Has he got a spot on the continent for '25?
