But we see them on tv every week, things have changed Why not give all our riders, our potential riders and the others in the line up the chance to earn a pound or two extra rather than those top boys who get the lion's share of open meeting berths? It'll be entertaining, must admit I was looking forward to the Holder v Bridger races but there's still plenty more duals between the riders in it that I'm looking forward to seeing hehehe

Nearly all elite teams are racing next Wednesday, 8 of them anyhow including Eastbourne away at Arena Essex so I'm guessing that will be Lewis Bridger out which is a big disappointment really. Have we got a revised line up as yet?

You beat me to it Ben. I'll add that the unluckiest rider of the night award went to Richie Dennis who fell in his 2nd ride when his throttle stuck open and then failed to make it out in his next ride presumably because of his bike troubles. Most entertaining rider of the night went to Mark Jones not only for his racing but those wheelies!! James Birkinshaw top scored with 14 points from the heats followed by Mark Jones on 13, Danny Betson on 12, Darren Mallett on 11 and Irwin, Mark Thompson and Benji Compton on 10. James and Mark went straight through to the final and Darren and Nathan Irwin made it through from the semi. Obviously the semi and final were the two best races of the night. Good to remember Nixy in this way

Agreed, too much of a good thing.

It was a very entertaining GP, watching speedway there weekly must be grrreeeeat! Did you hear the comment that Gollob can just turn up at the Bydgoszcz track and do as many laps as he likes for as long as he likes, we don't have any facilities like that at british GP tracks (erm, there are none!) for british GP riders, at any british tracks for any british riders for that matter, have we? The british boys desparately need tracks where they can learn and do as many laps as needed from an early age, IF ONLY we had a similar set up to Sweden, Poland, Denmark and Australia (to a certain extent).

You jibbed at posting the final standings of the 12 lapper then miss me

He's got a lot going for him has Zagar, along with Lindback and Jonsson imo, I dunno, perhaps it's youthful exuberance, they are certainly all naturals on the track, on the mic and with the crowd, keep it that way I say

Yep practice seems a COMPLETE waste of time judging by what most riders say at every GP. Did Greg dedicate his win to Steve Irwin, is that what he said?

We didn't need worry about Jason, copied and pasted this from a Brisbane newspaper article

OK m8, perhaps I did hear it wrong, I sincerely hope I did, don't want to lose the guy to speedway yet!!!!!!

Had to finish taping the coverage and watch it again ............. Jason said he didn't know if he had the motivation to try to win another title, hmmmmmmm.

If we're not good enough to qualify we're not good enough, should make our riders more determined to get there in 2008 perhaps?

Only cos it WAS a racing incident and they are both danes probably, no aggro there in the first place Poor old bloke, I've only watched from heat 18, dunno which heat it was but he thought it was Hancock in front saying he'd got the position he needed when all the time it was Andersen, oops. Is it a possibility that nobody wants or has time to take on his role full time hence they overlook his booboos and stick with him? Hugely disappointed for Mr Adams, how unlucky can you get!!!!!

Many, many congratulations to Jason on his 2nd World Championship win, the 2nd of more I hope! Yes, we are the lucky ones!

Yes I would like them race as pairs, it would certainly put more emphasis on team riding! As for the World Pairs, wouldn't mind this competition coming back either

Oh how wonderful, another bleeding GP to fit in around league fixtures, isn't JP a saint! Why not have them every week and no league racing ...........

That's what was said 20 years ago Steve If the FIM and BSI went for a "proper" qualifying system and fewer GP's the whole thing would hold more water. Not that I don't think every rider who has won the world title since the GP's started is not worthy of course!

Sponsors innit Gemini?

At the mo ............. thought they all went up closer to the date this year!

Dunno where I heard it, on tv or where, but Mark said that when his final season comes he will not announce the fact like Rickardsson did. Awwwwwww it'll be a sad

Sooooooooo is there some argument for the age old rule in speedway, that if there is a stoppage a rider has to be excluded, to be altered to a rider has to be excluded unless it's six of one, half dozen of the other???? In my mind that would be fair .............

Not personally but they could pay for the rights to show them on SKY, that would be rather nice of them

Cool and determined ......... ermmmmm didn't you see the coverage of the WTC?

Yes well done to him, kept his cool in the final, good to see Hans cock up and Andreas go past Good to see a rider so clearly delighted with his win.

Andersen didn't fall off when Nicholls nudged him did he, he was leaning off his bike shoving his elbow in front of Scott and when they had to turn down he went, Andersen should have been excluded imo.
