Have you seen how things get organised in British speedway?I think you might be giving them more credit for forward planning than they deserve

Just a little bit different track wise to the good old days when this meeting was held at Claremont

Only 2 riders can double up with the same teams and Wolves/Monarchs already have Masters and Clegg.

Or pay the extra 10 or 15 quid, whatever it is, for a seat at the front of the ryanair flight. As you just walk into the terminal building from the plane and there are very few flights into the airport, if you are first off you are straight through passport control. Last time I flew into Bydgoszcz I was in my hotel in the City Centre about 20 minutes after we landed...which was a pleasant surprise

Indeed...that was definitely not a supermarket car park, it was a small, bumpy track in the grounds of the Circuit of the Americas where the flat track boys played their part as a little side show to the MotoGP weekend. Quite an appropriate choice of video today after the US hope was made to look silly in his own sport by the road racing stars Marc Marquez and Toni Elias

Surely has to be a 3 based on what has been said. Averages between 2 and 3 are for riders who have never achieved a 3 point average. Mitchell has, although a good few years ago now.

As mentioned above it was the Queensland State title. 1 Dave Watt 2 Jake Allen 3 Zaine Kennedy 4 Josh Pickering The final race can be seen here

A bit harsh on the fine riders from Australia

Yes, they are...although the "old" stadium has been changed a lot.

I wouldn't...Sam is quality but for me Cookie is the best we have had at the Dale and I'd love to have him back again

The accident you mentioned can be seen here. https://www.instagram.com/p/BNzhykUj0L7/ Unfortunately Joonas broke his leg in this crash. I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

It works so well in Poland that the team that won the Promotion play off wasn't allowed to go up and the team that they beat chose not to go up, leaving the 3rd place team as the one that accepted the promotion...I can see Britain reproducing that level of success

Good to see a couple of the speedway boys having a go at this again this year.

Given they are using essentially old PL averages I was assuming new riders would come in the same to either league, using the lower league rules. As I'm sure you know, 4 point (previously 5) averages were only for riders who hadn't raced in the league in Sweden, Poland or Denmark. Anyone who raced in those leagues was given at least a 7.

Yes, Jye has an ancestry visa which doesn't require an employer sponsorship.

Any chance you could post the full list of heat 15 averages from this season? I'd definitely be interested to see those.

I think he has signed for Tarnow in Poland who are not in the Extraliga.

Yeah, the third race off in 2010. Korneliussen, Jaros, Klindt, Kennett, Legault, Fisher, Woelbert, Nieminen, Smolinski and Ferjan didn't make it to the meeting. The meeting ended up with only 15 riders. 10 Russian, 3 Polish, 1 Latvian and 1 Ukrainian.

The Final was terrific. The race off was one of the dullest meetings I have been to in recent years.

Daugavpils race in the lower league in Poland and they have to use Latvian riders rather than Polish. Of course, they also aren't allowed to race in the Extraliga. They have won the lower league the last 2 years but aren't allowed to take the promotion place...

Yeah, I'm kinda confused by this as well. I think a lot of people are assuming that his average came from reserve in the EL but he actually mainly raced 2nd string, even had a spell at heat leader if I'm remembering right.

And yet the 3 sports leagues with the highest income in the World seem to manage just fine without it!

What if the bottom Premiership side wants to drop down? Who gets the Premiership place after two 0-0 draws with 120 engine failures and falls The PL had been running 2 leg matches without double points for the last couple of seasons. Has it been said whether the new KO Cups and play offs will allow them?

Thanks, I must have missed that tweet. That must be a bit of a disappointment to OneSport and their ambitions.

I wonder if Emil will try to qualify and still do the SEC or if he will concentrate on SGP now. I am assuming that the rules are still the same and he can't get a wildcard for this as he is in the GP again.
