Anyone got a magnifying glass?

which is approximately.... never

Providing they do this over the winter, I'd be more than happy for it to be hosted at poole, it's a lovely place, nice stadium and CAN be a fair track - if they sit on their hands all winter then this will be a shambles and will only further make UK speedway look like it's dying on its feet.

I stand corrected

I didn't suggest it was make or break, he'll be in the GPs for years to come, I just very strongly think this time next year he'll be world champion.

Are you sure? Every time I've seen it over the past 2 years it's been rough as a ploughed field. Birmingham/Peterborough/Kings Lynn/Somerset would have all been better options for fair and consistent tracks.

The bad thing about having such a strong line up is that this time next year there will be some very sore scratched heads trying to decide who the wild cards will be

I may be shot down in flames for this prediction but I strongly think Ward will win the world title next year, barring injuries or 'off track incidents'...

Typical...

I don't understand how this is even a case. The parents and the child knew she had a heart condition, and still they let her drink the stuff. It's called an energy drink for a reason, that and its very clearly written how much caffeine is in a can. I drink the stuff like it's going out of fashion, but if I knew I'd got a condition that means it could have a negative effect on my body, I wouldn't go near it.

I've watched the video from both angles and I'm also of the opinion that Roynon held his line and Stefan changed his line so dramatically that Adam had nowhere to go. There's no way a rider would purposefully 'flick' their back wheel into an rider when they are so close, mainly because of how foolishly dangerous that is and also because it would give Roynon no benefit whatsoever. If he did that on purpose then he's creating wheelspin and that would allow Stefan through. Why would he do it? Simple. That was a result of Stefan completely cutting Roynon's nose off at a point in the track where you're supposed to be getting your wheels in line to head down the straight. We all know what an awesome person Adam is and he is an extremely fair rider that never makes rash and dangerous moves - he's always very calculated and weighs up every move before doing so - what people suggest he 'did' on here is just not in his nature. Anyway get well soon dude - fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.

I'd much rather have seen a points system that rewards the rider who came in 4th in the final. They should be rewarded for getting there in the first place. Perhaps 4, 3, 2, 1?

If Sky don't renew the contract we won't get to see it anyway!

I agree, Lewis has burnt too many Bridges (see what I did there?) to gain any decent sponsorship from within the speedway community. It's a shame, when he doesn't let his arrogance and ego get in the way, he could potentially be a cracking rider

If red bull gives you wings, how come he came down to earth so fast?

The funny thing about this whole debate is that if wild cards didn't exist then none of this would have happened. The 15 best riders in the world would be there off their own backs and that alone. Although this opens up the debate of injured riders such as Jarek who deserves his place but would have been denied it in 2013 if it wasn't for wild cards. Oh I don't know. I'm going to go bury my head in a rather large plant pot.

We know he's switching engine tuners for next year, and with extra sponsorship it's a possibility that he could do better than expected. Lets be honest though, he can't really do much worse than Bomber did, and that's no disrespect to him, we know what he is capable of. He's just had a bad couple of years.

I can't see Wolverhampton keeping Tai and Freddie next year with them both being in the GPs. To replace Tai with Scott would be a great move for both riders, Scotty loves wolves (and his average would definitely make for better team building) and Tai could do with a change of scenery, especially since he hinted that he might not even ride in this country next year.

There's another thread on this in the general news section...

You've got it spot on. I love Harris and when he's on form there's nobody else I like to watch more. I was indeed referring to his strop in the SS when he stated that if he didn't get the wild card slot he'd quit the world cup. Some of you need to chill out!

Jem is still riding? I remember racing against him back in 2004 when he rode for Wolverhampton's (then) conference league side!

I was hoping Michael Lee would have done this back in the day, but I guess not.

Surely this also means we'll have to find a replacement for Bomber in the world cup?

Considering how strong the GP will be next year, it would be a HUGE achievement for Tai to get a top 8 position. By my reckoning, half of the field could win the world title.

that's a FACT apparently.
