Berntzon always worth watching... Gala has impressed too... The '2nd Division' in Poland is certainly a very high standard..

Hope it isn't too sunny... It can play havoc as it goes down...

Three five ones to draw... Wow... Edit. Great piece of team riding by the Holders, keeping the Lublin riders in front of them... A massive three points tonight for Lublin.. Torun shocking....

No really, not a clue what you are going on about..

You've lost me....

But it helps... A lot.... Manys the time a rider gets nailed, fights the bike and stays on, loses ground and is effectively out of the race, and the race continues... Cue, plenty of hand signals to the refs box at the end of the race.. Took a calculated gamble I reckon did Miesiac, nothing to lose as he had lost too much distance to Holder... Fair play to him, forced the ref into making a decision..

He did go down in instalments didn't he? Fair play though, his race was pretty much run with Holders contact and staying on wouldn't have got the rest stopped..

Big call here for the ref!

Whose side is Trofimow on? It really is tough racing out in Poland... Proper no quarter given, and no reputations cared for.... Love watching it...

Got to love watching Pawel Miesiac... Riding against him might be a different story.. All action style to say the least.. Torun in trouble here...

Particularly impressed with the way after every heat the riders from both teams were congratulated or commiserated by their colleagues at the gate.. Same with the reactions to defeats by individuals as they crossed the line.. Looked like it certainly meant something to these lads.. Maybe these lads would even know what the score was if asked by an interviewer?

Seriously, Speedway should compile a book of quotes for all the different situations that happen every week of the season and flog it at Xmas... It would be a comedy classic... Michael Mcintrye would be getting some of the Speedway fraternity in as his writers.. Speedway and Credibilty in the same sentence? Its got so much credibility that the venue and day has changed a few weeks before the event..! My lad has his 'prom' tonight (bloody yanks), it was known last September where and when it was... A National Sporting Championship? That you want an ever decreasing customer base to give support to? Not a chance of being that detailed..

Apart from that one....

Colts v Kent very good racing tonight... £10 in total for me and my 16 year old lad.. Great value for money... Kent played their part too in some very hard racing and close finishes.. Not over this tie I would suggest...

Those starts are a bit ripped up...!

Well someone always said the tide can play havoc with the track... Must have been 'in' this morning..

Dunlop Green Flash...

To summarise the interviews.. "It's bumpy, then you hit some slick, then you get some grip, it's not easy to ride"... And Kelvin questioned it on more than several occasions... I would even have suggested that he threw in the odd grenade or two, but a couple of explosions on that track wouldn't probably have been noticed... Poole used to be the bar raiser for British Speedway, sad to see it looking somewhat past its prime.. Hope Matt gets his mojo back because it does look like he may have lost some of it... Staying one step ahead does eventually bring burn out to many, and Poole have always had a somewhat fickle support due to some of their following just expecting to just rock up and win... The part of the support who currently seem to be waiting to see a winning team appear before turning up more regularly.. British Speedway needs a strong Poole, let's hope it can sort itself out..

The Poole fans seem happy..... Must feel so lucky to get to watch this racing every week..

It never went away....

They should at least be removed from the BT schedule until the track is sorted... Doesnt do the sport any favours and let's be honest, it needs as many favours as it can get nowadays..

Let's be honest, the racing is crap isn't it? Riders more focused on remaining upright than racing, meaning big distances between them... Can't blame them...

Think the Aces could have replaced Wells with him...! Doh!

They do go into bends looking like 'stay on and get round' is the priority in their thoughts rather than what they can do to get in front of the rider they are following...

Never seems to want to use a TAC, or when he has a decent reserve, use them well..
