Blodorn, like so many similar riders, has reached his level... He will develop into a regular second string/No6, alternating as the averages change, moving from track to track like so many do in those positions...

If you go with a big top two/three then the weakness will always be lower down... Even more so if you don't use UK riders, so as to use the average reduction advantage to be gained.... Another year in the play offs is an OK season, and will generate a decent crowd for the semi... Personally I would have brought Palovarra in at six when averages allowed and just used guests to cover him on Thursday's away... Zishcke could have done with a year away from the top league but will have a decent average for next season...

Hope Brady calls "Paper".....

52-38... The Aces top three scoring around 30 off 15 rides... Plenty of very fast riding up near the safety fence with riders following around ten yards behind the one in front of them...

Fans complain when riders seem to choose to give meetings a miss over here, however.. Promoters,actually plan meetings in knowing that sometimes exactly the same riders will be elsewhere on that night... The message they give therefore, is that it is obviously acceptable to UK Speedway for you to miss meetings and your presence isn't fundamentally important... Which also then, obviously gives the events themselves the same lack of fundamental importance in the opinions of so many... You cannot blame riders for deciding to stay aligned to their biggest paymaster when the UK version of the sport is ran the way it is...

No surprise when Ipswich's team is made up of so many throttle jockeys...

The Polish Doctors are magnificent..... Every time they magically cure their riders to be able to ride... Our Doctors obviously need to learn a thing or two....

But he completed his rides after the crash... Dribble, Dribble, Blurrrr, Blurrrr, Dribble, Dribble... Can someone wipe my chin please..

Perfect scenario for a waterlogged track... Do it before they throw the sawdust on.... It would pack 'em in... See.... No idea is a bad idea is it? Any more? We could get these out there before the AGM....

Now we need riders blindfolded with hessian sacks on their heads, with buxom milk maids in pigtail wigs, stood on each corner shouting "Left! Left! Left!" when they ride past.. Could really catch on this.... And, more importantly... Add some much needed credibility to the operating model!!!....

You could carry buckets of coloured water on their handlebars and whoever finishes with the most water in their buckets wins the extra point... Imagine the excitement and atmosphere created as Stuart Hall (hang on, no, not him, someone else)! is whipping up the crowd as the lads empty their buckets into a plastic tube thing....

Have two bonus points for an aggregate win (treat it as winning one 30 heat meeting) and have one point each for a drawn aggregate score.... Or put a dart board on the centre green and play nearest the bull...

Would put a big cat amongst the pigeons if true!!! And annoy the PZM no end...!!.. They were plenty annoyed Dudek didn't get a season Wild Card.... The lineal World Champ would have a point to prove and if he rode I would suggest advantage Kurtz... Would add to the meeting 100℅....

Six points more money paying for 16 heats and not 15....

Always seems to deliver great racing.... The secret is? .. Build your track around an American Football pitch like Wroclaw and the NSS did...

I think he is a raffle winner.....

I was thinking Haaland for Hojlund....

And then move on to guests? United could definitely do with some.... "Where Speedway leads, the rest follow".... A nice slogan....

The Ipswich Throttle Jockeys negated it....

Great meeting.... Not sure why the Aces swapped gates given Bewley was clearly the one who could pass for fun tonight... Roll on the play offs...

"Scotty, bring your hands over here"....

??? He has had plenty of time to develop.... If he wants to progress to the next level, taking the "easy option" won't help him...

Give Emil one or four and it should be game over...

Wow!!!!! Inside or outside passing.... What a race track... Brennan had no need to stay so wide on the last lap though...

All that passing can be predictable and boring though.... Or so I have read....
