A ORLOV

Your last paragraph confirms why the BSPA should have nothing to do with Team GB. A separate body would be the way forward, but only if the funding can be found. Then as mentioned by others test matches at home and in Europe, training facilities and even meetings against EL clubs. If the "squad" of current and future GB riders are encouraged to ride for clubs in Europe, which is a good idea, will they have any time for test matches etc. May be prospective GB riders should have followed the example of Denmark and had a weeks camp and training before the start of the season.

Also add to the above if a new tv contract is negotiated that a percentage of the income is kept back to purchase or rent a track where the youngsters can learn, have leagues for youngsters as they do abroad, pay for the likes of Loram etc to help with the younger riders to race against youngsters from abroad in mini test matches both here and abroad on the big European tracks as they become more experienced. The series that is taking place between GB and Aus with pl riders is a start, but there needs to be a lot more done. Unfortunately the Sky money does not seem to have been spent wisely and I do not know if the BSPA is the right organisation to set something up as their record to date has not been good. It may be too late to bring back test matches for established riders with all the teams they ride for and the GPs, but they could do it for the youngsters, if an income stream to pay for it can be secured.

There is also "fish" riding, some of Barkers races will be interesting.

The authorities screwed up the acceptance of the offer from Morris to sign up as British. It will serve them right if he rides well for Aus in a year or two.

If C Harris cannot ride slick tracks and he scored 3 and 6 points at this stadium in 2011 and 2012 it does not look too good for tonight. Not having had a decent program for bringing riders through means we have to stick with him on a track he may score few points on. I hope he can adapt to the track tonight.

Kyle tweeted "Banged my head pretty hard and my arm is sore, Doc wouldn't let me ride after that sorry to the"

Last weeks episode was shown at 6pm saturday, and it was good.

Bit of a silly statement you made then, like the majority of your posts, you said watch him he is better than Doyle,Batch and Watt when he clearly is not. He may be later in his career as you say he is only 18 and I will watch how he gets on.

Did see that he was beaten by both Doyle and Batch today, he did beat Watt but so did everybody, not to say he will not become a good reserve.

Swindon getting back to winning ways and Ashley injured, now Kyle withdrawn from meeting , hope it is just a precaution for his sake.

Have just got in and absolutely shattered so will see what the meeting is like from updates and if an exciting meeting may go to pub at 3.30 or just watch rerun monday.

Looking at the Eurosport schedule they are showing the first semi on monday at 5.45, prior to the second semi at 7, for. anyone who is not worried about seeing it live.

Any info on Eurosport coverage as they have live sport on at 2pm Sunday May have to watch replay.

Very good point, occasionally the local radio interview a fan or two.

For those who like sport and only watch bbc1,2,ITV1 and Channel 4, ITV4 probably shows more sport than all those channels added together.. Lots of motor sport and cycling, and some football and rugby. Today they have Motorsport uk, Tour De France, Rugby World Cup 7s, The cycle show, British Super Bikes, The Motorbike show.

I also wondered if that was a possibility as if not declared in the 1-7 he could guest while Kacper is injured.

It will be interesting seeing what the bspa declared teams number 23 says tomorrow or monday.

Do not know if this problem is linked to above but in the last week or so I find when I first start up the computer that it does not like picking up any site from toolbar and have to use bookmark list. Some thing is happening, also my settings keep changing and I get babylon as my default search engine, who ever that is, even though I keep deleting it and change the default. When I first started I used to get the skewbald ass so set up a toolbar then bookmarks.

Is the reason we have not had Sam on the screen lately is that he is the pilot.

They have shown meetings on various nights this year, but as mentioned a lot of wednesdays lately. Scheduled meetings shown at the moment Wed July 10th Poole Wolves Mon July 29th Eastbourne Birmingham No doubt other meetings will be shown this month and they could be any day. Wednesday is fine by me.

Am surprised Worrall not in team at KL, his scores at his track that track have been getting better. I would have had Worrall instead of Harris at Lynn.

Got that wrong, have now re read (g).

So does (a) absent no I - G or RR, override (g) absent d/u rider - RR only. Someone did not see this coming did they.

Interesting schedule published by Sky for July. July 3rd Birmingham Swindon July 29th Eastbourne Birmingham I know we have the World Cup July 13th - 20th, but presumably other meetings scheduled are yet to be decided. I hope they will show another PL meeting, and there are a few top of the EL table meetings to choose from. .
