  1. Second halfs have to become an attraction that people want to see then. Running it as a league competition gives it more value already. And why not using it to invite some up-and coming riders/teams from abroad such as France, Holland, Germany, Italy etc. to tour the UK and get a series of 2nd half matches against the local junior teams?
  2. To make it a little bit easier, here is a portrait picture of her Dick Barrie is a big fan of her! Who is she?
  3. geographically getting closer, but no, it is not Sara Cords
  4. Good guess, but no, this is not Annika Loftus. The one who's pictured here isn't Australian.
  5. Here is another female speedway rider. She's wearing a Sparta Wroclaw racesuit, but she ain't European. Who is she?
  6. mystery solved by @iris123 it is Patricia 'Paddy' Erhart and Mario Häusl
  7. USA Teammanager Steve Evans has made a quite interesting proposal for a revamp of the SGP and its qualifying system.
  8. Still no answers as to who they are? arnieg and I know them both, but we surely can't be the only ones, can we? Come on You guys, who are the number one speedway riders of Nepalese and Seychellois descent?
  9. He proudly wears the national flag of the Seychelles, and at just seventeen years of age he has already made his Polish League debut with Landshut this year. Who is he?
  10. Well, she's half-German and half-Nepalese, and no, Nepal does not have any other speedway riders, male or female, she's the one and only.
  11. The 'Polsat Plus Arena' is not the speedway stadium in Gdansk, but the 40,000 capacity football stadium! This will be something similar to what we already have in Warsaw and Cardiff with a temporary speedway track.
  12. Who is this in Kathmandu, Nepal, born female speedway rider standing here next to Greg Hancock ?
  13. New Zealander Bradley Wilson-Dean has won the 2023 U.S.Open Speedway Championship over two rounds at Action Park East, Greene, New York, and Champion Speedway, Owego, New York. Here is YouTube video of the finals series on Day 2 at Owego (the series' top five riders contested four finals for championship points) 1st Bradley WILSON-DEAN (Hastings, New Zealand), 54 pts. 2nd Chris KERR (Auburn, California, USA), 46 pts. 3rd Casey DONHOLT (Port Crane, New York, USA), 43 pts. 4th Broc NICOL (Lomita, California, USA), 41 pts. 5th Dillon RUML (Garden Grove, California, USA), 38 pts.
  14. By the way, I watch the Premiership on DISCOVERY+ and I enjoy it very much. British league speedway is certainly different to what we get to see from Poland, but it has a very unique charm, and the TV coverage of the SGB Premiership Speedway on DISCOVERY+ presented by Kelvin, Scotty and Abby is excellent.
  15. Forget it. There is nothing like league teams racing. So please, not another individual series, we already have the SGP and the SEC, that is more than enough. Here in Germany we had the German Speedway Masters series, which was in principle run extactly like what You propose here, as a combined individual and club team competition. It lasted no longer than two years. Riders were missing most of the time and had to be replaced by others, it was just not worth following this.
  16. Why? Because there are already examples in many other sport where Russian athletes are still allowed to participate, for example the tennis players. Lots of Russian ice hockey players still play in foreign leagues, even in the NHL. As a matter of fact, both Artem and Emil are no longer Russians, they do have the Polish citizenship. They have both left Russia. Isn't it against the law to single them out and don't allow them what other Polish sportsmen are allowed to do, just because they were born in Russia?
  17. What a shame there is no run-off for silver and bronze, and our German lad Norick Blödorn misses out on a medal on countback. Too bad!
  18. The PZM is absolutely against them, even though they are (technically) legal Polish passport holders and citizens. Emil and Artem should be allowed to compete in the SGP under a neutral flag. It is a crying shame if they are not allowed back into the Grand Prix.
