Maybe Dudek's punishment wouldn't have been so much if he hadn't ridden whilst 'under the influence'?!

Magic not riding now??

Well chosen words PR. ps. Its not as if Pete Adams has any personal axe to grind either!!!!!?

Good. Great news!!

Is that the same John Chaplin that thinks the photo in 'Museum Piece' in this week's issue of the guy with Alun Rossiter is Chris Holder??

Shouldn't be long now for the result - Monster have just renewed their GP sponsorship!!!

With Crumpie and Leigh Adams as GP Ambassadors, they'll have a good chance of generating a decent crowd.

With fewer EL teams next year and therefore fewer fixtures plus no NZ GP in March - perhaps the BSPA will finally arrange the play-offs in late August/Early September when theres at least a reasonable chance for decent weather.

Quite well - his legal team were splashing around a bit though!!

Has Darcy failed a swimming test now?? If so, I blame the chlorine!!

Golden Helmet's today isn't it??! Or have I mis-read something somewhere? Edited: Or is it the Czech one??

MJJ is the classic example of a rider who thinks and acts as though he is the best - but rarely delivers it in even the most mundane of meetings. PK is an exciting and entertaining rider who usually performs at the highest level!

Did I say that?? No. I said that some would argue it! I've said from the word go that he should receive an appropriate punishment, assuming all the testing was carried out correctly. I happen to think that if found guilty he should be fined and have at least a 12 month ban from the GPs, as that was where the offence was committed - but not from any league racing, in Poland, Sweden or UK!! I know many will disagree, but that's my view!!

Tai had to commit to UK speedway this season as British World Champion!! As that will no longer be the case in 2015, plus the fact that the sport at EL level doesn't seem to want to go to Mondays only, I don't expect Tai to compete in the EL next year.

And as some would argue, he has not put any riders at risk and he has already been punished, with a fine and suspension!!

So totally different to Dudek for example, who rode 'while under the influence' ??!!

Its stated that he needs to build up his bank balance and sponsorship in order to be competitive in the SGPs . He intends doing another year of league racing and SEC to achieve that.

Just read in this week's SS that Darcy has had his initial 'appeal' against the suspension turned down!! Not sure if that was already in the public domain - I hadn't seen it anywhere?! Presumably that gets rid of any accusations of the wrong procedures in Latvia?! So he only has the actual FIM Disciplinary Commission Hearing to come - possibly end October if not in November - with the added possibility of WADA involvement if they think the eventual punishment is not sufficient?!

Whose this Jankowski fella????

Not sure why KK was giving his brother so much grief walking back to the pits?? Also had a go at Sundstrom apparently?! Glad Shamek kept out of the way!!

Horse's mouth!!!

Taking the 'p' again SCB??!!

Darcy Ward's FIM hearing confirmed for November. He's had FIM correspondence advising this. He will have the knee operation sooner rather than later now!!

Didn't he pass on last week??!!!

2 weeks ago that comment - and he was right , Pedersen did wipe someone out!! Darcy is away on sunny hols with his good lady at the moment!! MF not expecting to hear anything from FIM til October/November!!!
