Gotta say its a shame, Mr Clean has been a fantastic rider for god knows how long, but he aint done for yet hopefully.Never been a world champion, but one of the best , most consistent riders there has ever been.The Jimmy White of the speedway world perhaps ?

My thoughts exactly.Why oh why cant at least the starting gates and a 30yd run up to the first bends be covered up by tarpaulin or similar so the gates arent so biased as in this case.The cost would surely be quite minimal, and prevent the gating monopolies we see so often.

If he qualifies he will have done so on merit.Then we will find out.How would you like to be told you're too old to be competent at your job ?

If the likes of Zorro and PK got through , good luck too them , its not their fault that the rest of the entrants werent good enough.If you dont buy a ticket , you cant win the raffle

Someone please remind me. How old is Emil ? Its been a couple of hours since i last heard

You dont look at the mantlepiece while your stoking the fire !!!

Not booing him now !! great last ride , but Poland blessed with great gate positions in the last few heats , which proved vital

Well, Pearson is there and does a good job i think. Do all the whingers need a commentator when actually go to a match ? I think the answer is no. If you dont like him , press the mute button and commentate to yourself. Or , if live speedway on Sky dissolutions you so much , then just dont watch . Simples really

Poland will win easily.Last time they won , it appeared as tho they were on rocket ships.extra drive and power no-one else had . Conspiracy theories anyone ???

Why does that 'A' have a golfball on top of it , and how did it get there ??

What it is Ashie , is that for some reason Orion cant stand Danny King or the team GB manager. I've lost count of the times he said rico should take his place, but now , cant bring himself to say King did well and was well worth his place. Many posters on here , to their credit , have put their hands up and said they were wrong. Some though , just cant do this

How can it be a different set of 5 involving 3 of these ? Is it me or does that not make sense ? And please , if you have a problem , attack the post not the poster . An idiot i am not , thanks .

Change all 5 ? It will be last place no matter who we put in . What 'change 5' do you have in mind ? cant wait to hear this

So , why are you still slagging off who was by most peoples accounts our best rider tonight ? i cannot for the life of me see your argument

Conveniently forget to mention the ef , and the fact he rode his nuts off.What did Rico do last year ? Naff all . King was given his chance , and took it , and did himself credit. If you cant see that , you might as well give up watching speedway

Have to agree Ashie , best meeting i've seen for yonks, a track with plenty of racing lines , hard at times but fair, If only the GP tracks were like this

Dream on !!!

Fantastic meeting , top drawer. All those who wanted Rico in for King , eat humble pie , he's been great. Anyone reckon Orion will have any of this pie ??

One swallow doesnt make a summer Iris. Nigh on every track Olsen gets involved in becomes a borefest

Early thoughts. Good enthusiasm, but lack of trackcraft. Good track. Olsen obvs not involved

Got to say well done to the Russians. On the Nicki P incident , i thought he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, the Russian had the line, Nicki made a bad call IMO, but one of those you can put down as being a racing incident , you cant legislate for footrest getting hooked up in someones wheel, but at least this proves that Nicki was half a bike length behind at the time.

Sod all this 'commercial' nonsense. If a British rider qualifies via the challenge , then good luck to them.But , for the credibility of the sport we need the best riders out there , not seeded riders who arent up to the task. I'd support any Brits in the GP's , but if none are in it tough luck. I want to see the best compete, not people who are there for commercial reasons

The Poles would go mad. Do you really think they would ever win a SWC if the final was held at Cardiff ? Not their type of track methinks .

I would. Should be a damn good meeting

So what are you saying ? That the odds compilers at Skybet and Willy Hills take into account all the intricascies of everyones machines before laying odds? What codswallop.Bookies lay odds on the riders , not the bikes . Bike swapping would actually benefit them more , because it could end up with even more unexpected results
