Due respect to Bjarne, good old Jan smoothed it all over, can't have bad feeling in the camp I guess

Not by someone in this house, he was called the british version of Nicki by someone here, and always has been I hasten to add.

More like he has too much respect for his life and limbs and that of others!!!!! Unlike some

Yes but we know he will get "down and dirty" cleanly and controlled

TONIGHT????? What not Wednesday, owww! He'll love King's Lynn, better than Coventry and Poole for sure

Well we didn't see that on british tv but he was interviewed about his exclusion and you would have thought he might have mentioned his fellow countryman then ...............ya know ............. sorry couldn't resist No I definitely can't speak another language but we don't need to, everyone speaks ours Many europeans are taught from primary age to speak english, I'm sure if british kids were taught another language from such an early age they'd be equally as fluent, but which language should they be taught???? Me neither, he's a pretty friendly guy but .................... he's simply a danger to other riders on the race track imo and obviously doesn't give two hoots!!!

Nicki may have agreed with his exclusion but I didn't hear him inquire after the health of Bjarne, and that stupid grin he had on his face, you could just throttle him grrrrrrrrr A great win for Crump, a second bite at the cherry which he took brilliantly, haha Shame for Adams It's not so much promotion as them needing positive help in all departments imo.

Blithering idjet, that'll never catch on

Gotta keep to 4 riders but 6 laps would be interesting.

Something else for a promoter to trial in a one-off meeting sometime during the season. All it would cost is a little more dope Survival of the fittest

NO! And I bet the track won't ever be as good as it was 3 years ago!

We've got to wait 10 years .................. owwwwwwww I might be dead by then ......... I can understand why though

But weren't they nearly always with the old format??

AGREED! That slick track didn't work so well Ole!

Would certainly give us more action for our money

Aren't all top meetings like that when the grip is on the inside? I suppose I was a bit indifferent about it apart from a few races, probably because there are loads of riders in it now that I couldn't care less about, I'm getting old I guess LOL Obviously I agree Rickardsson was head and shoulders above, as Leigh said he's got something FAST under him. We'll see if this new Penske frame is going to make all the difference to his racing over the next few rounds, will be interesting! Was well pleased for Adams in his semi, perhaps Blomfeldt will make the difference to his set ups this season, sure hope that Rickardsson's new found GP form doesn't pee on the matches tho Crumpy deserved to get into the final of course following Pedersen "move over" on him, damned bloke, what's he gonna start all that race the man rather than the race again???? Checking out the starting gate before the presentation, perhaps Jason thought he chose the wrong gate, ah well not a bad start to his defence eh! His move on Lindback was pretty hard, he had to go for it tho, glad Lindback didn't come a cropper,

What a coincidence, he's signed for Oxford apparently so that interview may be easier to get now! lol

Have just sat watching an Henka Gustaffson Special MBI video from 1990, 91 & 92. Henka was fantastic, couldn't gate and was such a natural speedway rider, I'd forgot just how good he was at Lynn, Wimbledon, Eastbourne, Bradford ........ I'm only half way through the video! His passes from the back were brilliant, I'm sure he missed the gate so he could thrill the crowd, stalking his opponents for 3 laps, leaving his pass to the last bend!! Wow! He'll remain a legend at Lynn forever, I feel sorry for any fan that missed him! Any chance of an interview with him?

Just read Leigh Adams thoughts re the 2005 GP series on his website, www.leighadams.com. He says he's "prepared to get down and dirty if that's what it takes to win this damn thing!" Nothing in the GP's would give me more pleasure than to see Leigh realise his goal, now that Crumpy has got his win. VERY MUCH looking forward to the series!!!

No winked at actually How do they work it in production bike racing?

cpbyles - sarcasm is the lowest form of wit On the face of it standard engines seems the way to go to lower costs for the riders, trouble is not all standard engines perform the same which will obviously cause problems within a team. Could a rider make enough adjustments to the bike to suit his style of racing if the engine was standard?

What was Barry Briggs argument against handicapping at the time? I probably have a good idea but just wondered what he said. On the face of it it is unfair that the top boys should be handicapped but for the sake of the popularity of the sport it would be grrrrrrreat. Perhaps if there was another "Big 5" for example they could be billed and sponsored as something very special, which indeed they are/would be! I say this as though sponsorship is easy to come by, but with tv involved it might be possible?

Heyyyyyy isn't that exactly what we ALL WANT!!?

Blimey I think I have cracked it, THE WAY TO MAKE SPEEDWAY MORE POPULAR, not so sure the riders will be very chuffed mind

Certainly not the saviour of british speedway but I'd love to see a meeting of handicap racing. I realise it would be more dangerous but put the safest, most skilled riders in the country out there and how thrilling it would be for the fans
