Reduction will be less if compound

18 years since the Reading speedway became a thing of history the last great Racer dismounts for the final time. My all time favourite Racer, watching him was a thing of magic right from the first time I saw him at Smallmead in 2003. Although he never quite hit the heights on the world scene he leaves the stage with 8 Polish league titles, 3 World Team Cup golds and most impressively in the era of Zmarzlik et al four Polish Individual championships. Earlier this year I visited Poland and on the way to a meeting at Lublin and dropped into the deserted Tarnow stadium. It was here Janusz's career started. A stadium worker approached me, an unidentified intruder, I pointed to my Racers top and uttered the magic words 'Janusz Kołodziej Racing' and suddenly we were best of buddies. Thanks for all the memories Janners

Unless you count riders who are retiring or unlikely to be in the Championship by choice there won't be more than 7 or 8 riders over 8 (and that includes Brennan)

Dayle Wood would be a bit of a gamble as it was announced on Saturday that he's retired from British speedway (or is that just code for he's buggered off early back to Aus'?

That equates to 45-46 for a full team of seven - is that really practical?

Steve? I notice he stopped updating about 3 weeks ago. Decidedly irritating.

Simon's always game

It would also have made sense with there being a strong likelihood of at least one rider not making it to Adelaide

The meeting that got rained off after 6 heats at Workington in August. Expect a Polish victory with any challenge most likely to come from the Latvians.

He's raced every year for over two decades. In the last three years he has topped the Russian league averages zero times and won the Russian Championship zero times. He's still one of the best five domestic Russians (along with Lachbaum, Logachev, Kotlyar and Kulakov) but that hardly makes any of those GP standard.

Less than two hours after dissing Freddie for being over 40 and past it, yet here you are putting forward Grigory Laguta who is: - over 40 and past his best.

At 24 Kvech is still a youngster in GP terms which would make him my preferred choice.

I do wish people would stop running down the people whose support we need. I suspect the speaker in question was referring to the period prior to closure when Mr Chapman was noticeably quiet.

To be fair it is a cut above most track shops
