Madsen used it well on Friday... The banking must mean plenty of moisture around the kerb remains and no one seems to use it from heat one..... Hyde Rd was similar and PC and Mort used to often use the inside to pass riders later in the meeting when all were riding the boards, and it was mentioned in their books.. However, you do need a large amount of talent to hold that line, and not lose momentum...

The racing improved because riders were no longer brainwashed into riding the fence for four laps.. Dan Bewley won the SON riding the white line.. For some reeson many riders ignore the inside...

Just watched heat nine where Kurtz, brilliantly, went from third to first. . The commentators are going mad at the end of the race, and the camera pans to the Grandstand. Rows and rows of seated fans, heads down, pens out, and programme filling in... "Did you get the time of the last one?"..

Definitely a rider in there.... Slow burner but isn't fazed racing with the top riders.

Just watching the Polish coverage of the last race... "Pheeenominarllllllll" and "Speedwayyyyyy!" (Said at the end), were the only two words I understood... But they certainly enjoyed it...

I was in the South Stand, and it was brilliant.. I said to a mate that in Poland, several races would have had the Grandstand going mental... Hardly anyone even stood up....! Must have paid so much for their seats that they didn't want to leave them..

Cardiff isn't just for Speedway GP's... It's for life!!!!

It is a truly ridiculous level of ability at this level... Surely someone can make the sport the level it deserves to be at over here?..

100%... I used to attend Assen... For the racing.... That's what bike racing should be about...

It's his home track, what do you expect? Filled in for you Gavan..... What a race, another great meeting .. Speedway...

Zmarzlik huge speed of bend two and a dive bomb into three????

When's the rain starting????

I could be....

Which rider wants me as their team manager..?

The Danish Martin Smolinski... Too many are ignoring the inside... Kurtz almost caught Fricke by using it once last night in that last heat.

Gating tart Kurtz... Never does that at Ipswich...

Kelvin does citeh's attendances too...

You'd think that Sheffield would have a fair few here... But there never seems to be many ever, even for a PO meeting...

Why at the NSS do they always play music when the centre green presenter is talking?

I use an adblocker... Works well...

I missed last nights pre match entertainment, was it the same as the show we are enjoying now??.. Are The Killers on next?

Me not berry happy....

Just use Max Fricke in the play offs...

Maybe not, but still circa seven figures in takings isn't too shabby for a sport with such a small following.... In other news... There cannot be many better places to watch Speedway racing than the entrance to bend three at the NSS.... The speed they hit it, and your close proximity to the racing, means you can truly appreciate the talents and reactions of these lads... So many races are won and lost at that turn, either by a dive bomb or the outside rider cutting off the rider flying up the inside... Brilliant to see... They should put a lower down camera there..

Just watched the Woryna crash and to be fair to him, Madsen did lock up slightly in front and drop speed... Obviously I much prefer to watch riders who can just gate, and win races on smooth, slick tracks, and are quite happy to ride around at the back, with zero intention to pass anyone, when they don't make the start in front... They are the real "box office riders"....
