Premiership 2025 Predictions
SPEEDY69 replied to TheSmiler's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Presume you meant Harris? -
Tracks abroad are generally much much slicker than here. Denmark is known for really slick surfaces (but often bumpy) and Poland is very much on the stop for all four laps - Musielak said as much in the Star a couple of weeks ago - he could ride in Poland whilst injured last season as it's pretty simple but in the UK you have to turn harder, tracks can be narrow and much grippier in general.

Your recent posts all seem to be blank for me?

SPEEDY69 replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Just the Saturday, one of us has to work on Fri & Mon and can't get any time off as shifts known 2 years ahead!! Not sure what we'll do on the Sunday, maybe drive around somewhere. -

Got my tickets, they are 'print at home' - looking forwards to a dry evening! -

Thanks. Are the tickets electronic or do you have to collect hardcopies somewhere? Seems they are £47 each, assuming the reduced price is for children? -
Wolves Speedway potential new stadium???
SPEEDY69 replied to Pauldoveyspeedway's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I think the same company, Entain, just closed Crayford dog track as well. -
The appeal meeting has much more justification to be appealed than the original rejection.
-
The wager is on! 😄 I'm biased because I never rated MJJ when he rode in the UK before and don't care about overseas form 🙈
-
I'd be really surprised if Jensen achieves a higher average than Zagar, I reckon MJJ 6.5, Zagar 7
-
Nothing to do with that - suggest you look into what happened & who was involved.
-
A higher pay rate/and or closer to home/easier for travel to other things can all be reasons, it's a job after all 🙂

Oh that's a shame, my wife is in Brisbane at present so I was going to ask her to pop along! -
2025 Australian Speedway Championships

Another 3 hour affair, Kurtz is on another planet to the rest. Really unusual final with Pickering and Z Cook in it due to semi final breakdowns/falls. Rew quite impressive again. -
2025 Australian Speedway Championships
SPEEDY69 replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
I watched this this morning, have to say it seemed really drawn out, probably because they had the support classes. Ben Cook was a little unlucky I thought with an EF and a fall whilst trying to pass with a narrowing gap, two zeros affecting his score. Kurtz was the standout rider though and I've got a little flutter on him for the GPs this year. Of the others, Pickering was poor, Tungate not at the top table but Rew was making some good starts which bodes well for the Brummies. -
He's nowhere near ready for that level i'm afraid but his name opens doors. He might grow into it.

Cardiff GP 2025 Cancelled
SPEEDY69 replied to Phil's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I've been to Gorzow and unless they changed it, they don't have a roof which covers the track - the seating is mostly covered. -

Oh well, my GP trip is off, it's getting to be a TV only sport these days.... -
Not quite my reading, I think with Brennan it's more that the move to Ipswich was more attractive, with the team they have he can learn from them. If Ipswich wasn't available maybe he'd have stayed at Brum. I don't know him and haven't asked him but there's other reasons why riders change clubs, not just that they don't want to be at one.

Oxford pinched one of their targets?😁 Seriously though, this is disappointing for them. I was hoping they'd be nearer the top of the table next season. Is Steve Worrall not doing top league next year?

Riders with unique styles/characteristics.
SPEEDY69 replied to Zagarmeister's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I rode with him at Iwade when he must have been about 70 and he was still the same then, a master of the throttle.
