Possible reasons: 1) the risk/suspicion that race fixing could/was taking place 2) the odds setters were never sophisticated enough (e.g. failing to give due weight to gate advantage) to make money.

Unlike the opposition

There is a difference. Pedersen is demonstrably fit (or did I imagine his 18 point maximum for Grudziadz?) whereas Kennett was (allegedly) injured.

Have you seen the rate of attrition for football managers?

Danny has a 2.23 ave from 2019, Greg would come in on 2.00

Given at least one of the team was not Russian (Latosinski) I would go with USSR/Soviet Union

The difference is that Kennett was (or at least CLAIMED to be) injured. Nicki is so incapacitated he could only manage an 18 point maximum in the Polish Ekstraliga.

Yet aain the svemo site has been 're-designed' and I can no longer find past results. The drop down menu on the foot of: https://www.svemo.se/vara-sportgrenar/start-speedway/resultat-speedway/resultat-bauhausligan-speedway doesn't lead anywhere. Anyone know where they are hiding?

Also it includes a lot of matches at Leicester (average well over 10), but he won't be riding there this year in the Championship. Instead he'll be riding at all the other tracks (where he averaged under 8 last year). So unless he takes to Perry Barr the way he did to Leicester (which he may) his average will drop.

Ht 15 59.66 Note that ht 1 was just 0.05 outside the track record

Nowhere near 3,000 crowd 1 no Emil 2 no Nicki, and no replacement (at present) 3 it's not the first match of the season 4 they've just lost at home 5 most people expect them to lose again

How about the all day events at Peterborough (fours, Supernational etc) Probably some days at Pardubice during Golden Helmet weekend. There must have been quite a few 5 hour double headers in the UK (Bank Holidays at Rye House immediately spring to mind)

Done by 11.45 pm

00.39 is my latest finish (in Argentina this January).

Depends how you regard speedway meetings that run beyond midnight!

No they are not. cf Penecilin, insulin, AZT, asprin

Iversen's bike misfired and he slowed as Fricke passed him. Not sure I'd count that one as a bona fide pass either.

10 riders with engine problems. ...co-incidence?

More than twice as much rain was forecast this week - and we got it with quite a bit to spare.

You should come, there may be a team spot available to you.

His fourth match was after the cut-off date so not included. Although there is nothing in the rules to state that ordinary league fixtures post cut-off should be discounted.

That's quite an "achievement" to have taken in all of the SGPs "finest hours". Maybe you should stick to Cardiff? ... then on second thoughts

In the days of the internet you can no longer pull the old 'injured riding abroad' trick. We all know what Scott did for Rawicz on Saturday and unless he tripped over a burger in the pits he didn't pick up an injury there. [And there is no suggestion he won't be fit for Oxford tonight]

Rides regularly in Poland

Isn't the qualification 'ELIGIBLE to ride in NDL' which he would have been in 1994.
