Whatever happens unless Iversen shows some sort of improvement over the last few GPs then no way would i put him in again.Blows luke warm and cold too often,hasn't got anywhere near being hot this season and doubt next will be any better.Kildemand is good for a bit of action now and again.For me Nicki would only be in because of what he has done in the past,not for what he has done this season and i fear next will also be slightly worse than this.For me Emil is a must if he wants it and Jarek deserve it.They are for me the 2 i would certainly give it to.But the world isn't as fair as me

But if we follow Ljungs way of thinking then there would always be a decent rider at no.5 so BSI get who they want.Doesn't seem that was the case in previous years.As for quality of rider,didn't Smoli get through the next year and then win a GP in NZ after that?

Sounds like a poor loser to me.First this interview seems like it was an after meeting one.If it was a statement from before the meeting then ok But by looking at past GP Challenges then the no.5 doesn't seem to be a great draw 2016 Covatti 10th 2015 Hans finished 10th 2014 Lahti finished 15th 2013 Smoli finished 11th 2012 Ulamek 8th 2011 Zetters 5th...... think i am a year out with those....

Egon back on tv today and back on his bike again for the annual revival meeting in Hamburg....with an Ariel Red Hunter sidecar as another special attraction. Only 2 minute report in at 0:20:30 http://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/hamburg_journal/Hamburg-Journal,sendung551476.html

Bjerre in with a chance if Freddie gets into the top 8 anyway.......pah!!!

Guess it is just fate that Jerzy was associated with a team who are not really one of the high profile ones......Tommy Janssons memorial meeting was also a 2nd tier meeting with 2nd tier riders when Wimbeldon dropped down.And on the other point i don't really remember any of the old British world champs being ever or often present at meetings or on tv.The likes of Freddie Williams or Tommy Price.Maybe they were and i missed them?.Maybe Jerzy was and you missed him?.Maybe he attends most Opole meetings?No doubt he wasn't the most popular rider ever in Poland.That is fact

Doesn't he even turn up to the meeting in his honour????

Mikkel Bech got the hump after being dropped and has resigned from the Esbjerg squad

Of course they should and in an ideal world would.Not always possible with the itinerary they have.Meeting,lift to the airport,fly to another country,lift from the airport meeting,maybe travel in their mobile home/workshop to another meeting etc etc.I often see riders on Facebook asking if anyone can pick them up or take them to a track or airport.They rely on friends and it seems fairly often these plans go awry because of an accident or breakdown and the expected time to get some kip is gone and they turn up to a meeting cream crackered.Seems it is often small jurneys which don't really give you much time to get some decent sleep.If you travel 60 or 90 minutes to an airport and then check in and wait and then have a 60.90 minute flight etc where is the time for a deep sleep?

Surely you point out where drug use can be of benefit?Racing several times a week in different countries,sleeping in different hotels or on the road,waiting at airports etc.Must be a drug that helps keep you on it and as also mentioned being a bit hyper will help you go for the gaps,take chances that when in a normal condition you might not take.....

You don't seem to understand a perfectly clear statement.Mama didn't say league racing wasn't the most important part of speedway.He just said it wasn't the only important part of the sport.

I can cope with making myself look stupid once,not that it has happened today,when you make yourself look stupid every time you post!!!!!

Yes,probably more interest here than there was in Poland,looking at the crowd.Or was there something interesting on tv today? hahahahahahahaha

Says the guy who has spent his time posting on a thread of a meeting hardly anyone could be bothered to attend.Guess there was a big womens basketball game in Poland today hahahahahaha.......i know they normally use mice to do experiments on,but i think this guy has also had some experiments done on him hahahahahahaha

Hahahahahahahahaha....obviously more prestigious than a packed stadium for the world championship.An empty stadium for some title no fan cares about!!!! hahahahahahahahaha

Didn't they also sponsor one f the Russian teams?Might have been a meeting in Russia......

Basicall y Steve Poland just aren't a sporting country like we know them.They don't produce many reat sportspeople and the people of Poland don't go to many sporting events.Maybe they like watching it on tv or now livestream,but look at their attendances and it is really very low If you look at the recent Olympics,Poland with a pop of 38 million were below countries like Denmark and Sweden,who have populations of 25% of what Poland has.Look at their attendances at Speedway and football and their gates are around 8,000 average in the main leagues.With 25% of their population Sweden get more at football and Denmark get about 1,000 less.Poor crowds,poor performances and we get some clown trying to big it all up When Pland can compete on the world stage in sport then we look forward to hearing from him.Until then...........GP in Poland and their only chance is 4th

There is a song about travelling to Lodz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Eo-8ZDaTb0

I think the posts from Halifaxtiger and Tsunami shw that there can be opposite,well thought out(ok i am giving Tsunami the benefit of the doubt ) opinions and that shows Promoters should look in.They obviously can't and shouldn't implement all the ideas,but they should take them on board.Never a good idea to ignore your customers in any business.

Drugged up riders punching each others light out,is what the sport lacks nowadays.Or a battle between the druggies and the drunkards

I hope you are not suggesting this is "guff"!!!!!

I am so happy he has got to the bottom of the problem after 6 years.I now look forward to him getting back to the "blistering form" he was in before

Maassen and Karger must be dead certs #unfinishedbusiness

Just something that crossed my mind while at work.Who was the last active league rider that was born in the 19th Century?
