PHILIPRISING

AMONGST all this nonsense arguing with a 'Polish' idiot, terrific SGP to start the 2019 campaign. Fabulous advert for the sport but sadly few if any other than Cardiff will match the atmosphere ion Warsaw.

HE probably thinks Holta is Polish

DO us all a favour and crawl back under the rock from which you recently departed

AND who pays for them in the first place?

SPOT on Tim

LAMBERT and Iversen did the damage last year ... only one remains

THERE is no doubt that he is also very popular with fans, as witnessed by the support he received at BV on Saturday.

BEEN told they will regularly cover practice on a Friday ...

IT wasn't the usual TV director ...

NEVER done it but probably a lot harder than we think.

ALONG with a few others!

STEVE is away in Argentina...

IT has a roof

Had heard that too. Was somewhat surprised given the time and effort that Cook and those behind the scenes take in looking after fans and the work put into his testimonial at Glasgow. Craig is a complex character and quite obviously can be his own worst enemy which is a shame because on his day he can be an invaluable asset.

APART from the money of course. We may never know the full story behind the divorce of Craig and CFS but previously it had seemed a perfect marriage.

IT is my understanding that coverage of all practice sessions at 2019 SGPs will be screened via YouTube... certainly both Nigel Pearson and Kelvin Tatum will be in attendance.

NORMALLY delayed coverage on Sky NZ ...

IF you ask any rider whether he wants to crash the answer would be no. Some of the most innocuous crashes turn out to be the worst. Having said that, I get the drift of your argument. It is often said of soccer players coming back from a bad injury that once they survive a tough tackle unscathed, psychologically it helps. But soccer tackles don't involve something as unpredictable and potentially dangerous as a speedway bike. And the surface of a speedway track is a great deal harder than grass.

THAT'S good news ... might take him a little longer to regain full confidence on smaller tracks where there is less room.

CORRECT me if I am wrong, but believe the third rider in the squad has to be under 21. Lambert was 21 earlier this month and is assured of a pick with Woffinden.

FROM the SGP website ... Torun boss Jacek Fratczak says Jack Holder didn’t suffer serious damage to his foot in a fall which forced him out of his side’s challenge match at home to Rybnik on Saturday. Holder was involved in a three-man pile-up with Rybnik duo Kacper Woryna and Sergey Logachev in heat 10 of Torun’s 53-37 victory. The Aussie and Logachev took no further part in the meeting and Holder returned to his base in Britain to recover. Fratczak played down the crash and is confident Holder will be back in action against Lodz this Thursday. He told Przeglad Sportowy: “Fortunately, the injury is not serious and the rider has returned on his own to Great Britain. “Now the most important thing is to care for the leg. Everything stays on schedule and Jack and the whole team will appear this Thursday against Lodz. This will be one of the last tests before the first match in the league.”

EASY run, all motorway, from Gdansk to Torun

AND to Speedway Star for many, many years. Sad news.

BY god, we are on the same page

BUT does that mean the conditions were the same for all the cars?
