Peter Ljung also had a season in the GPs. And if you exclude AJ, Freddie and Tonio he has been the top Swede in the Elitserien four times in the last five years. [Sundstrom was the best in 2017.] BUT at 36 he is older than Lindback and Lindgren! In both 2018 and 2019 Oliver Berntzon (age 26) has been the top averaged Swede under 30 in the Elitserien.

It is a major FIM-Europe event, recent past winners include the mighty speedway nation of Italy! ( and most of Italy's points were scored by an Argentinian)

It was a difficult call to make even if you were there. There was no consensus among the people I was standing with.

Hard to imagine, but for an example of a rider winning on 11 without a run-off consider Kasprzak's 2012 GP Challenge victory 5 riders tied on 10, our old friends Zagar and Iversen taking the other two qualifying spots. and where did this meeting take place? .. Gorican!

But that would give us Thomsen, Aspgren and Loktaev instead of Zagar, Iversen and Doyle. Is that really the way to improve the GP series?

So if Iversen or Zagar have a storming finish and end in the top 8 ( or one of the top 8 withdraw from next season) Anders Thomsen gets the place that opened up on countback?

By my reckoning (i.e. I'm not discounting the possibility I may have overlooked a result somewhere) last night was Lions biggest away win since Sheffield in 1980 [50-28]. A result they also managed at Coventry in 1974. Not since 1951 have Leicester [Hunters] won by more than 22 points away - a 61-23 annihilation of Cradley.

For Wednesday yes, but for the rest of the season the deadline is the 28th. (Not only are the green sheets confusing, some of the figures in column B [5% allowance for home guests] are wrong.)

I've listened to it and Lemmo is wrong. Key point is he said Bjerre "might not be able to take his three programmes rides". This is not correct as Bjerre only needed to take three rides (before heat 15) and one of them could have been r/r in heat 10. PS The Colts team management at Kent last night left something to be desired as well.

Can you elaborate, I don't follow the point Lemmo is making here

Agertoft now has an official average of 4.00 ( the lowest a foreigner can go - his actual average is 2.13)

I saw him at Iwade last month, and he beat Jake Mulford so not completely hopeless. He is definitely improving this season and while I don't think he is ready for a regular NL team place I think the odd outing as an unattached 2 pointer is good for his career development.

2014 Greaves v Sarjeant - both got 12 month bans ( suspended)

But on the plus side Sam Jensen looks a good signing

Brit under 21 winners would make more sense. However of the 4 finalists two are injured (Lambert & Brennan) and two retired (Thomas and Wajtknecht). That would leave semi finalists Kemp and Bewley as the Cardiff reserves.

'The cat ate his homework?'

If Cook's ban is upheld is there not a risk he could end up missing crucial play- off matches instead of the 'relatively' unimportant ones over the 12 days since the original ban.

Looks like I owe Kyle Newman an apology. I saw Newman moving towards Andersen, I saw the lunge at MBA, but didn't spot that it was Dugard who had sprinted over to do the deed.

Now that is a smart suggestion

But they do seem to have moved from picking the most promising young riders to just taking the local under 21 rider. ( e.g. Liszka in Wroclaw).

The only people who come out of this with any credit are the SCB, who acted quickly and have handed down punishments that are stiff enough to make the protagonists think twice before behaving so stupidly again, but not so severe as to disrupt the remainder of the season.

Is that the 2 or 4 valve infinite improbability drive?

6 May 1985: Cradley v Belle Vue Birmingham v Ellesmere Port Wolves v Oxford 28 August 1995 Cradley v Wolves Oxford v Reading Reading v Oxford

It actually seems a reasonable outcome to me, although I see Kyle Newman appears to have got away with his later misdemeanours.

So Claus Missing will be Vissing? Have I got that right?
