Hancock got up, but they don't think it's likely he'll ride again tonight. To add insult to injury, he's also been harshly excluded from the re-run.

It was Hancock & Vaculik. Hancock looks to have come off worst.

Ouch!

Good ride by Graversen - he doesn't tend to ride in Denmark much so good to see him getting a chance. Might need a change of underwear after that 2nd bend though!

Tomorrow's scheduled match from Grindsted has already been called off due to a waterlogged track. It'll be re-staged in September, so no live Speedway tomorrow evening, sadly. Not from Denmark, anyway.

Chris Widman is in to replace Michael Neale.

I've only seen him twice this year. Both times he rode in heat 15, and both times the meeting had been either won or lost, although there was an aggregate score to consider for the latter. I don't think any rider should be able to ride in all 3 leagues. It's wonderful for the rider, whether it be Roynon, Worrall, or another, but as great as it is for them, it also causes another rider to sit on the sidelines. That said, there are numerous accomplished riders in the National League. Riders who have comfortably beaten Roynon, so it's not like he's been getting maximums here, there and everywhere. It's not quite as bad as when we had Andy Smith in the then Conference League! It's too late to do anything about it in 2012, but hopefully common sense will prevail, and they will limit riders to only ride in 2 leagues from next season on.

Restaging is a 6pm start time on Saturday.

Rained off

I think he can, but not entirely sure. I seem to remember a time last season where Lasse Bjerre was listed as R/R for Ipswich at 2, but then something happened, and he could ride after all, but he had to ride at number 2 which wasn't his normal position. However, sometimes the National League has completly different rules, so who knows!

What's the likelihood of this meeting going ahead? Will Richie Worrall be able to ride since Plymouth has already been called off? 1 Ashley Birks 2 Richie Worrall R/R (?) 3 Tony Atkin 4 Ross Walter 5 Jaimie Pickard 6 Liam Carr 7 Ben Reade 1 Cameron Heeps 2 Joe Jacobs R/R 3 Stefan Nielsen 4 Danny Halsey 5 Lewis Blackbird 6 Nathan Stoneman 7 Joe Graver

Cheers for the info, Henry. When you have Svendsen, who needs start girls?

Ambulance stayed at the track, so they don't think Randrup's injuries were serious. Meanwhile, Fjelsted surprisingly lost at home to Esbjerg by a couple of points, if I heard the commentators correctly.

I came in a little late, and missed the first few heats, so not sure who the co-commentator is. Generally speaking though, they have the same guy each match who is joined by an expert, which varies from match to match.

Netherlands Mark? Did you use Google Translate by any chance?

Intellegence? Really?

Agreed, Henry. The said the track was waterlogged earlier in the day due to all of the rain that they had over the weekend. That's what caused the damage. One of those instances where some sort of track cover would have saved the meeting and a LOT of hard work (and driving around!) by the track staff

Meeting postponed

Track conditions don't seem ideal! Still lots of track work going on, and it's still not 100% decided that it will go ahead. Track was apparently extremly deep earlier - lots of track work gone on since then, but a few ruts have appeared...:/ No Kenneth Bjerre tonight. østergaard replaces him as a B rider. Kikkenborg is also out, replaced by Thornblom Meeting put back 30 minutes, so I assume it's due to start sometime after 6pm.

Grindsted Kenneth Bjerre (A) Michael Jepsen Jensen ( Linus Sundström ( Johannes Kikkenborg (D) Jesper Søgaard © Holstebro Bjarne Pedersen (A) Aleksandr Lokajev ( Andriej Karpow ( Jonas B Andersen © Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen (D) Match begins at 5.30pm UK time tonight (Monday). On paper, I would have expected a home win, but Bjerre is rather inconsistent this season, and Sundström seems to have lost a bit of form for one reason or another, so expect this to be a close one. Jesper B is back at Holsted replacing the ever unfortunate Hougaard - will be interesting if he can re-kindle some kind of form there. Remember seeing him fly round that track when he was 16. An exceptional talent at 16. He really looked like he could be the next big thing, but for one reason or another, it never really happened for him. Not to the extent that I and some others were expecting, anyway. Outrup are the visitors on Wednesday, and they've openly admitted they have put together a side that's a bit on the cheap side for this match. Bit of a shame really, as it could potentially have been a great match against the local rivals, Holsted. As it stands, I'd expect Holsted to win comfortably, but I also never expected Slangerup to win at Outrup, so what do i know? Holsted Nicki Pedersen Jesper B Monberg Martin Vaculik Rasmus Jensen Nicklas Porsing Outrup Kenni Larsen Claes Nedermark Charlie Gjedde Jonas Raun Marc Randrup Match starts at 5.30pm UK time on Wednesday.

Not a bad GP...!

Are the line-ups based on current (rolling) averages? Some interesting selections, for sure!

So it's your fault my stream is playing silly buggers? I have moments when it goes a bit funny for 15-20 seconds, but rest of the time it's fine. The Danish commentators are generally very calm and laidback. It's almost as if they are discussing the meeting amongst themselves, and don't entirely realise it's being broadcast to others aswell. That said, hopefully they will ask Jacob Olsen to commentate at some point. One of the best commentators in my opinion, and most definitely more exciteable than most! Vaculik withdrawn from the meeting.

He's ridden a grand total of 1 meeting in the Danish league this year. The reason why he (and many others Brits like him, like Morris, Morley, Blackbird, Jacobs, et al) are not riding in the PL is that many(not all) promoters would prefer to bring in a new rider from abroad & gain an asset (£££) as opposed to taking a Brit on loan, and thus paying a loan fee. My opinion, anyway,. Or possibly they think that foreign riders with unique names make better speedway riders. Who knows! Gained a lot of experience from the same guys he rode with for the whole of 2011??
