Reading Magic's comments - its what you get for not having a smooth big wide open track!! But I really don't know what you are worried about - BV should win this at a canter. You got a very creditable draw at Poole. Gomolski won't score a point if his scores in Poland today and his previous visit to BV are anything to go by. Watt and Holder - who knows? and your reserves are better than Poole's. 52-42.

Well if it takes as long we may get an answer by the 2016 SGP series - assuming there is to be one?! NB. Has there been any reason given as to why the FIM/Ward document dated end February 2015 has only just been published??

That's cos everyone was stoned!!

Seems as though British Eurosport have learned their lesson after 2 weeks of rain-offs! The programme schedule for Tuesday 19th May lists a 1 hour (presumably highlights) at 8pm!!!

Pedersen supposedly feeling 'groggy' and a bit dizzy after his crash this week. Hope he's not allowed to put other riders at risk!!

They at least thought they understood it as they increased the team building limit by 2 points as the best alternative?!?

Technically it depends where the blame lies?!

OK, lets see how much stick this post/thread gets?! In yet another local paper interview (Bournemouth Echo today - not yet online!) MF reveals he proposed a 20% reduction to the final averages of all EL 2nd strings at the 2014 BSPA AGM. He was obviously outvoted and the alternative of a 2 point increase in the team building limit was voted in instead!! Clearly it would have benefitted Poole - specifically with Josh G - but other clubs as well. Thoughts? Constructive if possible..........!!

Probably in July when Darcy's back!!

Its r/r for home meetings and a 'suitable' guest for away meetings according to the SS, in the hope that Musielak is back quicker than anticipated!!

Just to give things a little better perspective - Prior to his ban, Darcy was always one of the first riders to agree to race in the 'Remembering Rico' meetings!!

Please feel free to share - anybody!!

Just to be a little more precise, this thread is to discuss Darcy Ward in the context of the SGP and WTC - as this is the section we are in, and the section in which his offence/punishment occurred!!

Is that a proper exclamation question mark??

Back on a bike today. short video on the Forkrent Racing FB page!

Oh good that means Walesek will be missing for Leicester on 25th!!

He hasn't been convicted of any crimes, so why any problem?? ps. his bikes are being got ready in Poland!!

Why wouldn't he? As long as the application for a UK one is properly submitted with the correct Sponsorship declaration.

At least he seems to be taking his comeback seriously - even getting a personal trainer at the Elev8 Fitness Gym in Oz.

No problem. Will record one and hopefully watch the other later as will be at the stadium as part of the Meeting Sponsor's group!!

It was post #20 and your post #21 that suggested the possibility of there not being an EL if Lakeside weren't in it!! I was merely putting an alternative and imo a more likely scenario. On the other hand, Sky used to stipulate a minimum 8 team EL when they were 'sponsoring' the league. They don't sponsor it any more. The current contract is just for TV coverage so not sure that they have the same requirement. If they do - and there is a danger of dropping below 8 teams - then that would support my earlier opinion that other clubs would be approached to join the EL.

If you think the BSPA will let the EL fold just because Lakeside may not be in it, you are somewhat deluded. The usual 'incentives' will be offered to the likes of Sheffield, Ipswich and maybe Glasgow to step up.

Strange how some people knew about this as long ago as Wednesday 29th April, yet the Leicester promotion 'didn't find out until the day before yesterday'??! Maybe they should have had better communication/relationship with their riders!!

It was a Swede in hospital - why would NKI and Pedersen be concerned??

At least we shall now be able to see the effects of how well Tai's practice went yesterday!! Surprised to see Janowski listed to ride for Wroclaw?
