Jason Doyle showed great courage and determination in winning his world title with the injuries he was carrying. He has also shown a great loyalty to British speedway unlike a certain Mr Woffinden who as a British world champion could have rode here and helped promote the sport, but decided not to do that. Somerset have a great leader this season and not many will get near Jason around the Oaktree thats for sure. I hope he retains his title and the Rebels do well. (2nd to Aces will be fine)

From Bjerre being injured costing us against Coventry to more recent events one fact these events cant hide is over the past two seasons we have choked twice in the away leg at Monmore.

Wonder if some of Lynche,s decisions during meetings which cost the Lions points was more of a factor than Vakulik wanting Stead? The tv meeting away at Somerset springs to mind.

With all the close season to work on the track I would be surprised if Pooles problematic surface is not much better this season, as for all the who will be better than who no one knows until the season starts, this time last season Kasprzak was being hailed a shrewd signing by some, look what happened there. Im hoping for a season of quality racing.

No doubt after I book time off work, accommodation for away matches etc the dates will change as usual.

I could never understand why speedway always suffers with the noise situation but nothing ever appears to be said about F1 stocks and their big V8,s roaring around the same tracks creating far more noise?

How can anyone say Drodz will never be as good as Woryna? Hes only 21 and Woryna didnt pull up many trees in his last UK stint, hes improved a lot, that's what young riders tend to do its called development, Drodz could develop better or not develop at all who knows at this stage of his career. Riders all develop differently, look no further than Doyle.

My only concern over Cook would be if he has a season of struggle in the GP,s how that could affect his league form. We saw last season after a poor GP and World Cup how it could possibly have a negative effect. On the other hand I suppose a good GP season could have the opposite effect and his league form improves. If im being honest I think he will be out of his depth at GP level. Would love to be proved wrong though.

Not overly impressed if I'm being honest.

I see him as another promising Brit who will fail to hit the heights, there have been many promising riders who have not developed, his attitude could see him join that club.

Sad news RIP

Ive used the programme generator for a few seasons now, all you really need is the scoresheet, the rest you can read in the Star or online.

Theres no doubt there were others who would also class themselves winners who were not included, its one persons opinion, its meant to be tongue in cheek so why anyone would get upset is beyond me, I take your point regarding the Isle of Wight though as they have done a fantastic job down there and full credit to them. Happy New Year.

Bloody hell the winners and losers in the star is all light hearted, why do some appear to take it so seriously? Hence some appearing in both categories.

Hyde Road managed to marry the two sports together very successfully, why not Lynn? Then the promoter gets the best of both worlds.

Dosent make sense not preparing a track for good racing, your business depends on it. Kings Lynn was always one of the very best race tracks in the country, hope its back to its best next season.

I'm not a fan but he came across well and the race they showed highlighted the old chestnut first out of the start always wins not to be true, it was a great race and a good plug for our sport. Strange considering his criticisms of the GB set up especially the diet that he admitted to a weakness for burgers etc, hope he gets that someone to put the lock on his fridge:). England never have a hope of winning the World Cup or the European championship but I bet Frank Lampard never thought about not turning out for his country. Rather than walking away I think riding and changing things having an influence within the set up would be a better way for him to go.

Best wishes CVS.

Hopefully

Wouldn't touch KK at all, too much baggage and not reliable.

Wouldn't want either

Remember the name well, RIP

Great signing for Leicester and for British Speedway in general.

Never heard about this.

Because PC was a fabulous racer does not mean he is beyond criticism and in this case he,s wrong, he had the opportunity to attend BV but chose not to, that's his choice so why beef about it. He appears to have turned into a professional offendee, one of those taking offence on others behalf. It also appears from Phil,s article he was instrumental in some others who could have also attended BV not doing so. More fool them being so influenced. The only person sullying his name is the man himself.
