Agreed, he found his level a few years ago, hasn't got the technical style to improve much, said this when he was at Ipswich.
-
Although he was over-sliding out of the bends, being a bit of road block for two behind him in one race off bend 2. He will undoubtedly improve this as time moves on, certainly has the right attitude. Also thought this was quite a good meeting, Ace P impressed me with his racing brain when ahead/passing/trying to and what a great rider from Trigger when re-passing and holding off Rushen. Only a few of them looked out of their depth. -
No.

And it was as pointless as it can be given the guaranteed result -can't understand why people would bother watching.

Who will notify them of the typo? (their final position statement was issued on 26th October 2025🤣)
-
So there's a council meeting to discuss the 850 houses application on 21st October, by the planning and environmental protection committee, to which people are allowed to attend. Is this an important one for objectors? It said they'll summarise mine and other objections.

Grand Final 2nd leg Ipswich vs Leicester

Agreed. Speedway is quiet compared to the stocks, which also go on for hours,not 15 minutes and both less noisy than the football😃 -

I've also asked Polish people that I've encountered either here or on holiday and whilst a small sample, the five people I've asked have also not heard of it.😒 -

Your view does not agree with the FIM. The world champs has never been about the best riders & is no different to athletics in that regard. They are interested in growing the business and selling the events. -
I agree regarding interpretation. I've always been concerned with the lack of any physical kerb at King's Lynn - I remember being on the centre when racing was taking place and feeling distinctly vulnerable to a bike ploughing into me off the second bend at full pelt. I'm surprised no-one has ever raised that as a H&S issue!

Although that only leaves 7 places for new challengers as currently some of the current GP riders opt out of the qualifiers and risk not getting back in, which gives more spots in the challenge meeting for new triers. Your system gives existing GP riders a backstop which I'm not so keen on. -
Compared to the FIM regs: "If a rider crosses the white inside line fully with both wheels or leaves the circuit, they are adjudged to have retired from the race – unless they left the track to take essential avoiding action (e.g. to avoid a fallen rider)." I think the interpretation of the 'crosses the inner edge of the track' will be the same as 'crosses the white line fully with both wheels' In any case, the ref wasn't interested!
-
Both wheels have to be wholly over the line - and even then if they're doing that to avoid a collision it's ok - which he wasn't but Emil could have taken that route to avoid the almost stationary Leicester rider on bend 3/4.

And to me this is what makes good use of the wildcard. -

Yeah, definitely not to the promoters and FIM who decided them, or him but just everyone else 😁
