Looking forward to his expose/bombshell story in the winter about how bad British speedway is being run when he's the main person taking advantage of it. His team win a meeting that puts another team through and he gets 3 more chances to earn some money off the back of it. Shame cup-tied isn't a thing in speedway! But, it wouldn't be a speedway play off final without him in there somewhere, even if it's just Kelvin droning on about him crashing and winning the rerun all those years ago. Last 10 years I think he's only missed 2 finals

Lambert and Harris confirmed for Sheffield for both legs! Mountain at Sheffield and Etheridge at Ipswich

It's on the same stretch of road as his golf club, and about 5 mins from where he grew up in Cwmfelinfach . As mentioned, way too close to the hospital and the main road. Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr - Google Maps Pass it a lot on the way to visit my old man and always wonder if the Euro Millions would be enough to transform it

So Woffy has intimated that he was told he had to ride despite stating he could only hold on with 3 fingers. Bonkers

How did I miss that!

Father owns(or at least did own) some land and a fishing lake so you'd imagine he has a few quid. Is his older brother any good on the shale as well? Rising Stars - Ashton and Kiean Boughen - Dirt Hub

Lars Gunnestad and Holta?

Kaj Laukennen in blue

Have they actually given Kim second in that race?

Chasing back wheels. Terrible crash again He almost took Kvetch out in his last one and almost took Nilson off as well

Curse of the rerun going to strike for Bewley here isn't it -Phew

Oh dear Jason

Ludde Lindgren had been pointing this out for months on Twitter - went quiet then Phil mentioned the fine

Presume Mads Hansen comes in now then? They haven't said that have they?

Exactly! was pretty obvious from the images they showed as examples and no one bat an eye lid - will be interesting to find out where a complaint come from!

Wore his own Kevlars instead of the ones with GP sponsorship on. Had 'Orlen' on his chest and not 'Infinite Reality'. Rules are rules - but why was it not noticed during qualifying?

Golden boy out then!

Definitely looks like a kings Lynn race jacket, could be a red herring though! jan Jaros?

From either the 97 or 98 Welsh Open. Chris Courage?

Doyle will retire with one, Adams didn't. I know which one I'd prefer

Don't think you're far off there. Can't see Lidsey being back over here next year either.

Wouldn't the Pole be on a 5? Rew is a must on his average although I do feel like Ipswich doesn't suit him a great deal. He's looked fantastic in the SGP2 but can't seem to replicate it over here. Riss seems to be a cert now he's dropped so low and lets face it, you won't run without King in the 1-7. Thompson could feel pretty hard done by if not picked as a RS again after a real upturn in form over the last few weeks but can see them staying loyal to Thomas if he can get fit. Biggest question is how do you replace Emil if he doesn't come back? Masters?

Is there not a 'licence' type test in Poland before they can ride in a proper meeting? I'm sure it may have been Holder that was complaining about it when one of the juniors took him out this year, after taking someone else out in the meeting before...and the one after. Probably one of the rarer occasions but a test should be in place, especially the basics like laying the bike down which newer riders don't seem capable of these days.

I may have been a few jars deep by the end so it probably was a little better from the sofa!

May well have been, but it's the drama that keeps it going. Wouldn't have said the racing in the final last year was great (from memory) but the drama made it a fantastic evening's viewing
