home straight

Master of the understatement. I nearly fell over.

Thanks for that Rob, it's always interesting to read about the way Speedway meetings are conducted abroad. I have to say though, from reading your report that the Polish league rules seem a little complicated. No, hang on, forget that, they don't have to contend with Tactical rides, which, (I'm sure anyone who has had to this will concur), are toe curlingly embarrassing to explain to a newcomer. Give me the polish system any day.

I was surprised he was able to walk away from that it looked nasty But as you say since he's riding today he must be ok.

First Class! Just so you know there is someone here checking the updates, so your labours aren't going unnoticed. Will be interesting how Sullivans injury holds up before tomorrow.

Star Lady, I think the lad you're refering to was George Piper, he's 13 and is Weymouth's mascot.

Despite the fact that this post is almost completely unreadable, it is also some of the most nonsensical drivel I have ever read. Moronic

Nobody is dressing anything up at all, Floppy hit Rickardsson who went down, Floppy was rightly excluded, get over it.

Rickardsson didn't cheat, at worst it was gamesmanship, Floppy agreed that he hit him and should have been excluded.

It was gamesmanship pure and simple, his bike wasn't going as quick as he wanted it to, unfortunately for us it was a Brit who lost out, if it had been Hans Andersen instead of Floppy nobody would give two hoots. The guy has been THE best rider in the world for more than a decade, you can't do that without knowing how to play the game to your advantage.

According to brainiac Millard, Hans Nielsen was in two of the races.

Massively wasted apparantly

It still is very early days, but I think the winner will come from those two. It seems that its incredibly important to make the finals this year and therefore my favourite is TRick, all things being equal he will make more finals than Crump, and go on to equal Mr Mauger's long standing record.

Gutted for TRick he had it wrapped up first time. A race worthy of a GP final

"Nicki hit the fence on his own" Mark Loram... "He must have thought someone was outside him"

Nicki Pedersen Defend that.

What odds on Bjarne nicking this? he gets first gate pick, Nicki P and TRick are looking damn quick though, and you can never rule Mr Crump

As good a gp as there has been racing wise, I doubt the finals will disappoint either.

The man is a god

Anton is a lucky boy here if he stays in

Some great overtaking from Sully there, 1st to 3rd inside a lap Riding with the trots must be a nightmare tho.

Its wide wide open after 2 rides each. Good effort from Nicholls.

Definately. Kenneth Bjerre looks quick as does Lee Richardson

I suppose so, but even in league racing, I've never understood replacing a rider excluded for tapes or 2 minutes with a reserve, its a nonsense!

Why replace an excluded rider with a track reserve? Surely if a rider gets himself excluded the other 3 deserve at least one point? Ok so Max came in last, but imagine he had beaten Hancock, who then missed the Semis by one point.

Toninio! What a move.
