  1. I have a completed programme which shows Clark in both heats 6 & 10. This would seem to suggest the error is in Speedway Star's list of Leicester point scorers which should be Cook 1 and Clark 6. However that would mean the Yearbook (which has Cook 2, Clark 5) is also wrong. PS would have replied earlier but I was in Costa Rica, and didn't take my programme collection with me
  2. https://www.newmarketjournal.co.uk/sport/jolly-keen-to-revive-rye-house-9097188/
  3. So Pawel Polski gets injured, and is replaced under the long term injury rule. His team then make their two permitted changes. And then Pawel Polski reappears for his Polish team. Bet that will cause a few raised eyebrows.
  4. Nope the national championship was over three rounds, the last being at Auburn in Seltember. Last weekend meeting was NOT the National championship - it was for determining the two riders who will get places in the GP qualifying rounds. Details here: https://www.speedwaybikes.com/res2019_w/FastFridays-20190921.htm
  5. The Perris meeting is the meeting to determine American representatives in the GP qualifying rounds. The American championship (AMA - the one that is relevant for work permits as opposed to the ones at Costa Mesa or Owego) results are here. https://www.speedwaybikes.com/res2019_w/FastFridays-20190921.htm Dillon Ruml doesn't qualify for a work permit. Don't think you'll get Janniro and Max Ruml/Manzares hardly set the PL alight last time they rode here.
  6. He was at one of the 2018 SDL matches at Eastbourne and admitted it was his first speedway meeting since 2008. He goes to a lot of indy rock concerts these days.
  7. The Jan Graversen paradox! After his track record was retimed on DVD it was removed from the Leicester programme
  8. They are actively looking. There have been a few positive noises, but of course that is a long way from actually opening a new track.
  9. Look at British touring teams in Australia. Often labelled England, despite featuring Ken McKinlay and in some series the label changed from test match to test match. So they were described as British Lions in tests 1,2,5 & 7, English Lions in tests 4 & 6 and England in test 3.
  10. But he was never Russian, just as Jimmy McMillan was never English
  11. It's the equivalent of the British Youth championships. Last years result: https://www.speedwaybikes.com/res2019_w/Industry-20190811.htm Note a certain Mr Hancock among the riders.
  12. So you are proposing a Premier League of three teams then? That will work great!
  13. Thorssell has not improved over the last four seasons if you look at his Swedish average in the Elitserien: 2016: 1.611 ( per ride = 6.44 CMA) 2017: 1.438 2018: 1.270 2019: 1.396 Taken together the two sets of figures strongly suggest a rider who has plateaued
  14. Care to watch this and eat some humble pie http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/news.php?extend.37658
  15. I do hope the Thompson's do well, but realistically they were nowhere as good as Flint was in the previous season's NL as a 15 year old, and he averaged 3.42 this season for Berwick and was generally thought to have done well.
  16. Too soon to say, but unlikely to be any changes until 2021 at the earliest. If Priti Patel is to be believed then it is likely only a handful of top foreigners would be allowed in. But it is quite possible that Boris may trim to the centre and any restrictions will be fairly modest. Either way I wouldn't rate the chances of riders like Jakob Bukhave and Emil Grondal having much of a future in GB.
  17. Their championship, their rules. Past champions include: Jack Milne Jack Parker Ken McKinlay Mike Broadbank Ole Olsen
  18. Marcus Birkemose? Jonas Jeppesen? (using a slightly stretched definition of 'new')
  19. Almost certainly yes. There are very few 17 year olds ready for the PL. You only have to look at the Edinburgh thread where there is much discussion over Lasse Fredriksen.
  20. Yes he was part of Buxton's title winning team (along with Charles Wright, Jason Garrity and Craig Cook)
  21. Work permits are dependent on top five placing in American Championship. Gino was third but Fox only rode in one round
  22. And how many teams had a better number one that Max Fricke last year? Just Swindon.
  23. Hugh Skidmore Krzystof Wankowski
