Yes.The tears of laughter from reading Bridgers name obscured Edward.....

Good job you have nowt to do with selecting the riders then It isn't a series to help riders develop into world class level.They should be that before entering.Something strange about your suggestion.To even mention Bridger and the GP series leaves you open to the ridicule you often recieve

Seems like you have been slightly misled Looks like a line-up with Vlasov,Darkin,Loktaev,some other Russians and a few foreigners including a couple of Finns Smolinski was being lined up for this,but decided to make a trip to California instead,and who can blame him? The much stronger line-up will be a couple of weeks later in Togliatti.Nicki P,Adams,Sullivan,Richardson ......will be joined by Sajfutdinov,Gafurov,Laguta.....

I think it has already been confirmed it was no.3,which in my opinion is rider error.If he is duped by another rider moving that is only his fault. But not being technically minded and hearing this quite a bit before......why does no.1 occur on a speedway bike?I can wait at the traffic lights on (all)my bike(s) for any number of minutes with the clutch in but don't get a problem.Honest question.....why don't speedway clutches work like a road bike?Any why are the riders playing with the clutch cable before every heat?I don't adjust mine every year!!!!

I don't have the foggiest.But one thing is for sure,there won't be any British Promoters willing to shell out.........well two things are for sure......you will be moaning about some aspect of it

Thought it was planned for next year?

Welcome to the BSF. Good to have you on board.For the most part your well thought out posts will be ignored and people will keep on banging on with the same old crap.......you'll either end up with half the forum on ignore or you'll go insane Best get out while you can......

There should be one or three Danes next year or two that might challenge for this and other titles Oh and i said Pavlic wouldn't win

Think it unlikely that Kevin would be there.I think he will be riding in a benefit meeting for Sönke Petersen,who was paralysed in a meeting this year

Good result for Kenneth's younger brother Lasse in the Golden Ribbon.And bad luck for Tobi Busch.Top scorer in the quali's but fell in the final Golden Ribbon And the first heats of the Golden Helmet..... Golden Helmet

And the Golden Helmet should be live on this channel on sunday.Looking at the programme it will start 15:10 Czech time.It was on livestream last year and the year before i think......Have also seen some Czech League meetings on the net.Not sure if it was this channel or somewhere else.Can't find the link now.....

The U21 is tomorrow and the Golden Helmet is sunday as long as Darcy doesn't ride in any of the prelim heats which are held after the Golden Ribbon(which is held on saturday).So i guess the organisers will give him a bye into the sunday rounds.......

I imagine tv companies/audiences influence nominations.But i also imagine what a rider can bring to the GP in terms of personal sponsorship also plays a part.Not everything you hear from people in the sport has to be true,but i did hear that one rider in particular was chosen over another because he had better sponsors

So the suggestion is that they are happy with the way Ole is preparing the tracks.Maybe even telling him how to do them?So getting rid of Ole and replacing him with Tony O will not have much affect on track prep Yes.I was talking not specifically about the GPs there,but generally about how international speedway comps work in the modern world.Fritz Wallner can get knocked out of the World U21 Championship,but still be in the final because Wiener Neustedt are hosting it.If it happens on the lesser stages it will happen even more when there is more at risk financially.It is significant that Sky are voicing criticism though,as tv companies more than fans will make the men in charge sit up and take notice

You do talk some sense,which isn't the norm on here most times.But hasn't it already been established that IMG don't have as much power as you believe.The FIM still have a good bit to say about things.And whoever it is that makes the decisions about track prep(either Ole makes the decision and IMG/FIM are happy with it or Ole gets told how to do it because of sponsors board)Olsson will be in the same position won't he?I doubt we will see an overnight change in the way tracks(at least the temp tracks for certain)are prepared........ And yes it might not be everyones cup of tea to have riders picked,but that is the way things are.Look at the junior finals etc,the home country has a rider seeded or even a team seeded through to the final.A lot of the time we are lucky and the rider/team is worthy of a place,but some times they take the place of a better rider.It isn't good in one sense,but i guess there just aren't the Promoters out there willing to take a chance without "home" interest

That is an indoor speedway meeting on ice,not Ice Speedway or Isracing as it is called in Sweden.So i would think it will be 100% shale riders

Obviously he will be one of the favourites,but i don't think Pavlic will do it.I am hoping Nicolai manages to add this to his Euro U19 title.Think it will be very tight with about 8 riders in with a chance though

And it would seem Kevin Wölbert has withdrawn to ride for Edinburgh

Also wasn't it Jonsson who held his gate position up to his sponsorless arm as a parody of that trend?Plus Nicki's sponsor was all wrinkled up as to make it pointless when he done it .....then Emil playing with his Red Bull bottle during his interview(on Polish tv anyway).....

Don't think it will work out as the best.Probably not even a good year.I think the injuries and maybe the family life is taking its toll on Nicki sadly.Don't think he will be challenging and i very much doubt Crump will be up there again.I tend to think Emil will romp away with it.The old guard are on the way out and he could possibly win a few on the trot.But he does seem to be a bit slower since all the stuff about him cheating came out.I think he will have learnt a hell of a lot from this year though and come out far better next year.Which is frightening for the others........Hans and Andreas have shown flashes of what might have been over the past few years,but i don't think either will ever really challenge.Kenneth maybe.......

I bow to your greater knowledge. I guess they are the only thing Ole doesn't fiddle around with

I agree.Far to little of the start girls.The one in blue reminds me a bit of Sabatini......nice

Exactly.Nicki must be doubly brilliant as a motorbike rider if he pulled that manouvre off on purpose

Let's hope the start girls change into their beach volleyball gear for the interval entertainment.Might have attracted more of a crowd if they did.
