Thanks R&R

At 2:56pm I dont think you got a chance of Germany riding.

I hope he has a very very good reason for not riding, and I dont grab giving the youngsters a chance....if that was the case why bother in the Event 2. Probable that USA would finish last tonight, maybe not, but or there top rider to pull out (except for exceptional reasons) is very poor and a very bad decision which he may regret.

Who am I supporting... well its a sport and I dont go for nationalism any way.... I support whoever I like as a speedway racer Emil, Fricke, AJ, Robert are up there

Thats a diabolic move by Hancock, sorry but he has lost my respect, unless he has an injury.

Looks like we looking at different weather forecasts. Light showers today till about 2pm then fine. Tomorrow oing to be fine all day. With the good drainage at BV its all looking good.

That seems very tight Steve. If you on M6, Birmingham is usually a nightmare any day but especially Fridays.

Can't see anyone logically not agreeing with that.

Just been on the BV website and cant see anything about no more disabled parking spots. Where did you find out about the shortage?? I can see that still parking available in the school next to the stadium for Friday night.

Thanks. Looked bigger then that. Belle Vue is 347m, not seen it yet but looking forward to it.

I like the Vastervik track, looked like loads of lines to take probably something to do with its width. They kept saying it was small track, what is the length of it??

Read an article today which is saying the inks used in tattooing can be very dangerouse, even cancer causing. Not what you want to hear when the body is covered in tattoos.

I dont know the facts any more then you do, but what I said is "it could be that BV has already provided more then the minimum requirement". I have been to Manchester Arena many times, that indoor stadium holds approx. 20,000, but provide probably space for no more then 40 wheelchairs, and no doubt they are working to regulations.

Do yo know what regulations say as to what and how many facilities a staidium has to provide for disabled persons? Think there will be 8000 on Saturday now the temporary east stand is in use for the weekend. Could be that the demand is in excess of the minimum requirements and it could be that BV has already provided more then the minimum requirement. Unless you know the facts then its difficult to make a comment.

Just told him that few minutes before you, but I not sure what the nameof the road is.... I know its Rusholme (think it is anyway). Do you, Phil, know the road.?

The "famous" "curry mile" is not too far away - Rusholme I think, never been there though I do like a good curry, someone will be along giving more details I am sure.

Russia are the spoilers on Friday IMO. If Emil, Artem and Grigory are all "singing in tune" then they could win it. Its just that Artem and Grigory can "do it" but dont always do it.

I dont see that USA "would be on the way home right now". Take Joker points off Hancock (3) and take Joker points off Smolinski (2) and you still got USA being 3rd and throgh. And although the slowing down last night was blatant to everyone, it could so easily be made more subtle, so much so it would be impossible for a ref (or member of this forum) to judge correctly.

If it was definate that a rider who stops racing will be excluded then Johnsson could have carried on knowing Doyle was to be excluded. If there is any doubt about an exclusion then Johnsson would have to do what he did. Another sport where a joker is played, and known as a joker..... the joker lap in rally cross, the race may be 6 laps long but at any point in the race a driver has to do a longer lap - the joker lap. Actually it works well in rally cross, as you have to on it 110% of the time.

I would put the importance on the individual world championship and have that the first meeting. Having the team champ. first may lead to a top rider getting injured and not be able to make the ndividual championship. Depends what the priority is.

If you had a full strenght reserve to be used tactically could it be that the teams no 1 rider could be that reserve. I like the dea of the WTC being a 4 man team, with a reserve being theere in case of injury as now. Whether the reserve is under 21 or not...I'm open to thoughts at the moment.

Move house then it wont be. Its quite nice up north

I suppose its easy for a rider to fake an engine problem... and could a ref challenge that, I think that would be difficult. So its scrap the Joker from me as well.

Surprised at how well Sweden went tonight. Its AJ that makes the difference - but you dont know which AJ is going to ride....the extremely good one or the average one. Tonight is was the extremely good one.
