Agree entirely with that, it kept the meeting on edge till the end.

After 20 minutes I would be bored.

Chris Harris can go well around Cardiff if I remember right. Is he in it. I was surprised last night how many Aussies rode for Leicester or Ipswich. How many in the total ride in UK for Premier or Championship?. Britain seems to be the development ground for Aussies. Need more opportunities for Brit riders to develop.

Pity you can’t see the benefit of the Aggregate Bonus Point. Keeps both teams trying to score race points….that means all riders will be trying their best every race. Equally I can see why perhaps won’t work in football.

Well done Team GB. It’s tough when you against another 15 riders who are fighting for the glory as well. I’m sure it’s not that easy when you are out on the track and not in an armchair. They did what they did and you can’t turn the clocks back. Learn lessons yes, but the only way is forward.

Glad you not GB team manager

I was impressed last year with Rasmus Jensen….. thought he might have got a slot in this years GPs but that would have been 4 Danes. Maybe next year

Fantastic

Uk still beating Poland. Not seen Woffy ride like this for some time…. He wants Gold

Came back on form at the last GP so no surprise he is on it tonight. Well done Adam, important to keep the Pole behind.

Knowing Doyle’s record the ref should have had him out. You can’t just ride through someone.

Fantastic move by Woffy.

Will the track be prepared differently tonight???…….. to take away the advantage the 3 non Polish teams have, especially Australia (having had 2 meetings).

I see from tonight's face-off card France, Sweden and Czech Republic have all got their best rider at reserve, is Berge, Lindgren, Milik. I wonder if UK is planning that for tomorrow, be foolish not to I say.

I would say they would be no better then now. I liked the one off finals, but I would much rather see it 10 times a year than once.

As was said by KT (I think it was him), if you got to watch a replay 4 times before you can notice a slight move then their was no movement. The 2 decisions were bad decisions that could have cost BV the match, and definitely affected Wrights earnings last night.

Thing is with riders like Thorsell is that they can mix it in a one off, but mixing it at the top level for the GP season is another matter, not everyone can do it. Just a few years ago the names of Drabik and Smektala were being branded as ones that can take it to the big guns, just before them it was Lebedevs and Milik. Sometimes its better not to get what you wish for.

But Nilsson won the Challenge meeting last year in Glasgow. That’s what others have to do.

If you remember a few years ago Woofy offered to look after young Brits but the British powers that be turned him down......... so cant grumble if he looks after someone else, wherever they from, thats what Woffy wants to do. Woofy has the will and the money to do things, British speedway rejected him.

Cant completely agree nor disagree with you. I agree todays machines are too unwieldly, especially to less experienced ones. However, those 250 bikes are not for the big boys. For starters the seniors will weigh a lot more than those kids, meaning the bikes will respond even less favourably when they locked up, the engine will just be flat. Likewise if the track gets heavy ie too much dirt or water. The meeting yesterday was enjoyable because they were kids under 16, but there wasn't a great deal of passing really. The way to go is back to upright 2 valves with a limit on carburettor size (thats easy to check as well), and stick a rev limit on them as well. That should bring the cost down for everyone, The racing used to be exciting in the 70's when it was 2 valvers, and even the 80'sat the onset of 4 valvers, so the super rockets of today are not needed for excitement. For progress> Nah I dont think it is progress. Hasnt the IOW speedway tried a meeting of 2 valvers, or something radicle.

Can you thank JK for the race cards he does, particularly with the latest addition of SF1 & 2, and the Final. Thats great.

Yes, it has been over the last few years,...... But......

Commentary loud and clear on my Discovery+ I think the Danish management need to teach Mikkel Andersen how to react when one looses. Well done William Cairns, such a tough last ride for him. I like the effort the other Brit, Cooper Rushen, put in. Like his style too, be nice to see how he develops on a 500. it seems some hatred for WBD….. why is that? They bringing world speedway to British screens, plus some Premier matches and the British Championship

Why no Brits in this competition?

What was a working man’s wage in the 60’s, and what would it be now using the same calculation.?
