In fairness.... Dave does have an iPhone 17.... With "ultra zoom"..... Considering it is UK Speedway I am quite impressed that phone footage was used ... I see the sport more in line to use a "sketch artist" like they use in Crown Courts for the TV News... "Give us half and hour and I will have it drawn up. What colour was Cookie again?"...

"Technical" tracks, if you don't mind....

In any normal business such a "s**t show" would see the person in charge/therefore responsible, being removed from their post wouldn't it?... It is UK Speedway though...

Laguta lost his edge? After being out of the GP's so long, and little way back?

Last year he was top 16 easily in the world.. Magic back on form also this year .

To be fair to him... He has just been interviewed and said "mikebv on the BSF is right and I need to get my finger out" ..😝

Kowalski need to find at least three more tracks he can ride...

Dan could/should have destroyed MJJ's race down the back straight... But didn't .. Too nice...

There does appear to be lots of crowd noise, and crowd input, on my stream.... With plenty of away fans making noise too.. Not sure if that is needed at a Speedway meeting ..😀

Impressed me last year .. Could be a HL in tier two, but has decided to stay in tier one... And is regularly beating top GP riders .. Given the depth of Polish talent, the UK authorities should be tapping him up...

Nowhere near ruthless enough ..

Our No3????😄

She presents Leeds Utd's in house channel... And has presented Horse Racing on Racing UK... Many of the previous Speedway presenters, are now established names... Perry, Bradbury and Woods...

And that "throttle jockeys" now have a huge advantage... ...

Are the Comets on strike?

Just read that and spat my drink out... Fair play.... Bravo Sir...

You can still earn a fair few quid as a No1 over here given the paucity of talent when compared to Poland, Sweden, and now, Denmark...

So close....

With Speedway's (in the UK), demographic being what it is... (At 58 I attend and feel young!)..... You would think that a major part of the business plan would be to cater specifically for the more "advanced" in years... The "grey pound" is probably the biggest sector the sport has....

Where?

Definite fines then now.....

Sadly, these kind of meetings show how little the competitions mean in the eyes of the promoters... Why run such meetings knowing FIM meetings are taking place? By definition the riders missing will be the "better ones" too.... If an independent body existed then this meeting wouldn't have happened or RR would have been the only facility... If the riders qualify then there will be even more clashes .. The UK has to stop "making up Speedway" as it does it no favours... There will be, I am sure, promoters out there wondering again how the local ice hockey team can get double their crowds.. And a if a track needs to bring in an overseas rider due to not having enough UK riders of the required level, then that is squarely down to their lack of focus on UK rider development over the past few decades... The vicious circle will continue unless UK rider development becomes the No1 priority for tier two in particular.... You need fans to take the sport seriously if you want it to be successful... I presume those who run it as a hobby don't feel the need to run it that way...

There will end up being a guest for at least one of them...

The fight between Wright and Allen got several hundred thousand views...... More of this "edge" is needed....

Disgraceful behaviour.... My 22 year old lad has just watched this and now needs therapy and counselling.... They should be banned for a decade st least.... Good, hard racing, "just enough room" left from Howarth which is fair enough... A bit more of this and the sport could be interesting again....
