Nicholls is ripping it up so much in the Swedish league he's 41st in the averages scoring 40 points from 30 rides. 5.33 average in British Speedway. Not that great really is it?? I don't get why people keep selecting Lambert as reserve either, it makes no sense at all as the reserve can only replace ill or injured riders.

Do Coventry press releases never put the rider's in team order? Protection against people printing their own racecards?

50-40 Coventry

None of the current Swindon side is worth dropping for Davey Watt, jeez man!!!! Watt is on worse form than any of the Swindon side + Watt wants a PL side next season so it's not likely he'll be looking to improve his form. Any side that takes him on have no ambition imo

Lambert now is also on BAR and he was mint. There's no excuses for Harris's performance, he's experienced enough

Does anyone find £65-£70 justifiable for just the final only in the Grandstand? Seems a pretty nuts figure if you ask me

Just been on the website to look for Grandstand tickets for the SWC just for the Saturday as due to illness I have to sit. Can go do one @£65-£70

Never said anything about carting bikes all over Europe

You can but you also have to think about the viability for the manufacturer of the engines & the riders. I don't think you could go down the route of just 1, they all have to be available. Jawa GM Gerhard Then there would be the cost of scrutineering this. That's not a 5 minute job You'll also have the issue where a 'factory rider' is on the GM tuned by PJR everywhere else in the World but knows the 'Sealed factory GM' is outdone by the 'Sealed Jawa' just for the UK. This he can't change to because he'll lose the GM contract so quits British racing. Basically, all I'm saying is, for sealed engine racing to work it has to be across the board. It cannot happen in just 1 country.

SCB, just viewed the figures for 2016. Any chance you could separate track figures from the old Belle Vue to the new National Stadium? Thanks

That's not really anything to go by either. Been to Belle Vue 3 times already this season and hasn't scored above 6 and abysmal in the British Final against rider's that should be nowhere near him. Chris Harris, TeamGB, YOU'RE FIRED......

Costs would be a huge problem here as every bike and engine would need to be identical. Rather than 2 of the rider's taking the cost of PJR tuned engines all 14 race day club machines would have to take the hit. Then the day to day running repairs as riders become a little more careless with them. Certainly though, I love it to happen. It is the way forward to become more professional looking but right now I don't think it's workable.

Yes as it's still classed as beating an opposition rider

Oxford at NL level for Matt might be the route to go. Like Cradley I think they'd get decent crowds for that level Speedway and run on the cheap. Then there's also a back up plan for Matt if the property development threat for Poole comes to fruition & Oxford returns to the top league.

Can only replace an injured / ill rider at the discretion of the event doctor in the SWC. Lambert would be wasted as an U21 reserve, already to good for that position Woffinden King Cook Lambert has to be the 4

:rofl:

That's why Cook is so quick now as he's running the PJR engines. The only Brit outside of Woffinden to do so I believe which surprises me. Believe Lambert is now on BAR's and that to shows on recent performances. PJR's though are way ahead of the game.

The reserve has to be under-21

Think the side is nailed on already 1. Woffinden 2. King 3. Cook 4. Lambert 5. Ellis (u21) Think any other team and Rosco as manager must be questioned

You're desperately trying to hang on to Harris in teamGB. Harris had been there on 3 occasions now and has been dire. 6 for Swindon 5 for Coventry 5 British Final That is abysmal and should rightly be left out

Yep, he can't handle pressure

Anyone know what's happening with the TV schedule? Tennis match only now starting on Skysport 3

It would only be uncomfortable if anything was to happen that would suggest such a thing. Currently there isn't. The last GP a Redbull sponsored rider won it, the biggest energy drink rival. The GP series are desperately trying to get Emil back in the series, a Redbull rival. There's been no suggestion that referee decisions favour Monster riders either

You have issues clearly. It's the Monster FIM Speedway Grand Prix series for goodness sake. Can't be a breach when his own sponsor are the sponsors of the series

If the EL survives the end of this season then I think there won't be just 1 fixed night. It'll be 2 (Monday & Thursday) with a maximum of 2 meetings per week per club i.e. 1 home 1 away. They'll continue with the 2 home & away fixtures verses each team Personally though I believe the Elite League will crash & burn with 3 clubs at risk
