It's no surprise that those whose livelihood depends on speedway often produce the best teams... No "expensive hobby" for them...

Several million will be paid to riders this season across both pro leagues .. Who hardly anyone on their own street would recognise for most of them . Yet hardly one penny will be spent on some professionals generating an increase in crowd numbers and an awareness of the sport and it's riders .. Absolute madness.

In his interview he said that hardly anyone in Birmingham knows that speedway exists, and it's similar around the country... And I thought it was his, and his other promoters' job to ensure that wasn't the case..!!! They had ONE job....😁

And when someone says "the tracks sh*t", it will actually be true!!!😁

They could keep the centre green grass trimmed too by eating it... Phil Morris will have them at the NSS doing the GP track... Although they may struggle to nibble on the 4G...

Was that not one of them?...😄

Plenty of them for the top 3 teams, with so few decent teams in the league... If Ipswich hadn't had such injuries they would be paying 60 plus with bonus pretty much every match at home.... Sheffield too will "enjoy" paying out plenty for their home meetings...

Do you need to bring a watering can.??? I hope those photos were taken around 11am...😮

They certainly don't help themselves, (those who run this sport in the UK), do they? 🙁

These BHM tropical conditions..

Jensen was in front, hence his back wheel took Doyle's front, and Doyle had ran him very narrow down the straight, not on a "normal line".. By doing so, there was only going to be one result if Doyle didn't move out... I think he thought he could pin him on bends one and two but Jensen was too quick... Good, hard racing from both, but Doyle caused the stoppage by the line he took, and the fact he was behind when the contact took place..

Well done Leon Madsen...... Great to see some needle in Speedway...

Best wishes, again, to Jason.

He did ride very narrow down the home straight and Jensen was in front so to keep following that line was, sadly, only going to result in what happened...

Ouch... Let's hope Jason is ok....

And Hansen and Knudsen get top league places...

They won't need anyone now Jason is back will they?

Several riders have said it is "more fun"... Right up until they Foxtrot Oscar and leave during the season...

I notice in Poland that there isn't much of the opposing riders laughing and joking, stood together, in the pits... Losing seems to p1ss them off.... Edit. Madsen even knew the score in his interview...

Madsen a man possessed tonight... Loving every minute of it too looking at him....

The whistle's can't be far away...

Truly brilliant from Pawlicki... Locking up, and not drifting off the line, at that speed, took some real exceptional ability...

They sounded happy with his win....

Ratajczak starting to deliver what his early potential as a junior suggested he could achieve...

4-2 to 2-4 on the last lap... Hopefully this keeps up....
