Same here, guess the thinking is that the other main body partnerships are well established and Bomber is more likely to look out for the youngsters than Holder. Result all depends on which Howarth and Lidsey turn up.

Points limit or cost to get in?

He was always on a knife edge...

What was Scott’s excuse? hangover from partying with Zmarzlik? Doubt he’ll be missing tomorrow night for tv duties

Another poor meeting in terms of actual racing but a great result for Lambert, hopefully opens the floodgates for next year. Oh what could have been had he not had a stinker in Gorzow. .

Would imagine the Will Cairns/Hancock connection will see him stay unless there's a better offer elsewhere

Michelson and Woffinden will be back in after injuries as well so by that logic there will only be one other from the current line up, who doesn't qualify from the challenge. Although I think Lebedevs will be in regardless, as Riga looks set to stay on the calendar.

Jesus it's tedious I honestly cannot see how Michelson was excluded in heat 4, he was in front and lifted then got clattered. Other way around Michelson goes every time. Not sure I can stand Tatum and Louis fawning any longer, you'd think Zmarzlik was some underdog story As usual best 2 riders on the night miss out - although Lambert only has himself to blame...again!

From the first 6, they will need to do quite a bit of work on the track overnight

Will Dudek need to bother? 2 WC spots this year seems to suggest he’ll be back in next year

Some were over £800 yesterday. Travelodge above Walkabout is £250

Not sure how I forgot the Panthers one and for some reason I'd assumed he was guesting for Coventry that year. Thought they'd won it without him before that, it was 14 years ago though

Those moaning about hotel prices for the GP need to have a look for the 4th July next year!

Has he ever won a cup or league with the club he's declared for? He seems to ride in every final/semis but always as a guest. Surely some sort of record.

Another great Cardiff event, same old faces moaning about it, but appears they didn't go! Everyone that went enjoyed it. Watching it back there were a few more passes than I remembered and the racing was pretty close. Great to see a British 1&2 and I think the only cheer that got close to the final was Zmarzlik coming last. Brennan desperately unlucky on the line but shown how far he's come in the last 12 months or so. Didn't really see/hear a lot of the semi stuff but had met up with some old friends so we were talking in between races and missed most of the announcements. Of course I'm bias as it's only a 15 min train journey for me to get there but it would be a travesty for it to leave Cardiff, it was a little quieter than usual in the bars but more went to the fan zone the general atmosphere was fantastic as always. Racing is coming back and it will always be one of the more processional, as the majority of GPs have been over the years, You can't moan about the value for money, a world championship round for £15. A personal highlight was seeing the Red Bull team giving out free cans to the people queued up to get an autograph from the Woffy outside the stadium. Fantastic bit of marketing.

Which is perfectly fair, I enjoyed watching Pickering and it felt like he was in every race after it slickened off.

haha that did cross my mind, but even when they do get it right they can't do it!

His lack of research on speedway flabbergasts me every week. However, he will not hesitate to mention Riss or Harris' exploits on the weekend in the longtrack. I say it every week but how after all this time are they still not showing the riders scores throughout the meeting, bar at the start line? For all Phil's rallying cries to promote the sport, they need to look within first. All the good stuff he's brought in is dragged kicking and screaming back to where it was by the amateur production package. After the first few it wasn't the worst meeting I've seen, Pickering is the kind of rider Ipswich need next year to push on, King and Ellis are too conservative

Brennan has been flying most places until this week. Hopefully hasn't burnt himself out before today/tomorrow

He did! Came second didn't you?

Rowe replaces Worrall then

I took it as signing a newbie for next year - using as guests makes more sense. Haven't had a brew yet!

Who though? The only fully 'untried' in the lower league are Borke, Hook, Fredriksen, T Thomsen or Pearson Then only really Kye Thomsen, Pacoo, Batch or Allen that don't have a top place but all bar Batch I think would push the Pole into the 1-5/ Or Kemp but again would push the Pole up.

He's having the similar season to Danny King last year. Was paired with a rider not as good as him so was always going to score a point at least until the harder rides so average appears to have gone up but they aren't really beating anyone of note. But for Flint the lower average riders he's easily beating in the championship he can't seem to get near in the prem.

what @szkocjasid said! Not having a full 7 when they have the chance is ridiculous
