One or two rider comments beginning to filter through.............!!!

Great result for the Bees!!

PR - your earlier comment appears to be at odds with what the Polish authorities are saying about Warsaw?! Or is it a different situation depending on the contract for each venue/country?

Have they not said that before??!

Are you sure that's correct. The official scoreline shows a 6 ride /18 point max in a 52-38 win for the Poles!!

Next week then!!

Whenever the points limit is at its most advantageous!

Hope you got your money on A ORLOV!!

Sorry, I read it differently - 'given all are available' usually means its a statement of fact rather than asking a question?! eg 'it's a given!'.

Has Nicholls given up his commentating/studio expert role then?!

Don't worry - everything's fine in Speedway in Poland. Where Poland leads others follow......................or maybe, hopefully not!?

Maybe he has just gone back to Aus whilst waiting for the FIM explanation!!

Jason should do ok - it seems like they've got a c**ppy track in Warsaw too!!

I'm sure the 'temporary cover' rule is for a 'minimum of 28 days' ie it can be extended if needs must!

Yet if this had been a Pole and/or a Poole rider, the forum would have gone into meltdown!!

Perhaps there are other reasons why Barker hasn't been offered an EL place.....anywhere? Just ask a few riders of any team their opinion of him!!

I didn't think the Swedish league started til May??

I guess the post-dated medical certificate is already in JC's hands?!

To be fair though, Spurs are a second string outfit, so the comparison is valid!!!

Attendance was well down at Torun without him!!!

I doubt the BBC would pay for the footage!!!

Dave Rowe and Sam Ermolenko - The Commentary 'dream team'!!!? Not!

Agree its very different watching a meeting live vs TV, but I found the meeting on Eurosport a bit of a borefest if I'm honest - and not for the first time!! I'm sure the crowd in Germany were delighted to see some of the world's top stars as they are usually starved of top riders but as for a decent Pairs meeting - whats the point when the scoring doesn't favour team riding. I can see 'gate and go speedway' anywhere and its usually better when there is something tangible at stake other than just money for those taking part. Riders dropping out mid-meeting for whatever reason didn't surprise me - Smolinski probably because he couldn't do anything riding the inside line; Pedersen because he was ill (why start then? Money?) and others when the track worsened.

So, was it a decent enough crowd at Leicester this evening?

Can we call you Dick??!
