Emil owned there.Like I say though,exciting without any passing involved

Not much passing so far,but still an interesting meeting.Hope the action gets a bit hotter in the latter stages though

In my opinion Emil done the best he could to guide his partner round.Then when he went on the wrong line,Emil couldn't do much but make sure of the win.

Emil is the Daddy tonight!!!!

Great ride from Emil,who is now sponsored by Wittstock promoter Mauer.Was here for two days during the week and hopefully we will see more of him throughout the season.yeah!!!!!

Think one or two of his track records lasted into the 70s,he was so fast Good protecting ride from Greg

I'm here for this one.Hope for a good meeting.Bit of bad news that ex Rzeszow youngster Marco Gaschka had a bad crash a few weeks back and it seems has decided to give up the sport.Was watching his younger brother a couple of days ago on the 50cc bikes

It would be going back to the roots,as some of the early world championships were held in Paris

That would give an unfair advantage to Darcy though.......

Why do you insist on calling him "Philippe"? It's lost on me

Having a good meeting.Was going to say he is no youngster.He was here donkeys years ago with Lodz I think. Menager or Manager???? or are both ok in Poland

maybe a case of ,vahingosta viisastuu .then again knowing finnish as little as I do,maybe not

It was at least blamed on the EU in the media and like I said it wasn't a policy 30 years ago,but is now things change.Really it doesn't matter who brought this in,it is fact that it is Europe wide and that is the point I was making.If this is deemed dangerous then riding a speedway bike with 3 other guys alongside you into the sun should also be deemed dangerous.Tha fact is speedway promoters must be pro active about this and not just willy-nilly delay meetings until the sun goes down

Waiting for Humph to confirm.Maybe he has a next door neighbour who was affected by this ruling?

Worth every penny.At those speeds, on these tracks It isn't easy to ride 2 or 3 foot behind the other riders.but these guys do it with precision!!!!

Having been a motorbike rider for over 20 years I know how difficult it is to see when the sun is low and directly in front of you.Not sure tinted goggles would be the answer as when you turn out of the sun, would it all seem so dark for a few seconds?Just as dangerous maybe.Not sure your eyes or the goggles can react that fast.To me the answer was a peak on the helmet and to keep my head down as much as poss......

Absolutely!!!! Not wanting to stick up for promoters,but like I mentioned before the EU have clamped down on diving boards,so maybe laws have got tougher.If an accident was caused by being blinded by the sun they might find themselves in big trouble.Things do change from 30 or even 10 years ago.Just look at the Ty Procter situation.That would have been unthinkable 30 years ago......but,they are taking a big chance with the paying public.They know in which direction(or should doif they look at the right website)the sun will shine throughout the year and are just hoping it won't affect them and if it does then the paying public will just have to put up with it and wait,instead of like Gem say's, start later In Denmark they start earlier or later according to the time of year,surely it is possible in the UK?

Actually there is a list on here made a few years ago and those crowds this season seem pretty good compared to 2008 or when ever it was compiled.

That might just be the answer

Which rider will have told him the track was great I wonder?

I saw a programme and knitting or embroidery is big in Finland.Maybe crochet.....f-sp will know All those reindeer need warm pullies ya know

What a bugger that the Gp in Tampere was on the same day as the womens institute was holding their annual knitting event.Must have knocked thousands off the gate

Nail on the head.I find that it is hard to justify the time/money spent on speedway and because none of my kids nor my girlfriend like it then I end up doing something we can all enjoy,because even I can't say I get much enjoyment from it most of the time recently.Even watching it on tv I find once someone makes a protest I think "yes,it is boring so far....." and end up turning to another channel.Maybe it just needs one good meeting to change it all

Actually the EU have put a ban on outdoor swimming pool diving boards that face into the sun as they are dangerous.People can dive off them onto some unsuspecting swimmer underneath having been blinded by the sun.............
