Are the results from today posted anywhere?

Should be a simple Pirates victory with that long tail for Oxford

This looks a great meeting to go to, hope they get a massive crowd, Graham Arnold has done such a lot for speedway over the years on shoestring resources.

I have also taken the view when seeing Boughen that when riders get close to him, or if he's just a little behind, he doesn't seem to want to get any closer and I've just assumed this will improve with more experience. There's no doubt he's fast when in front and is able to ride competently but he's only had very limited racing experience I guess.

Wouldn't get much change though with the bottom 8 having a 50% chance of being in it again the following year. I already struggle seeing the same riders against each other so am glad they at least give 16 riders outside the series the chance to qualify.

There is a GP in Prague. If they want this to sell and also secure the venue, they need to include a Czech. Czechs "We will host a GP next year and pay £XXX but only if we can have two Czechs in it, else bog off." That's something which I definitely think is part of it. It's never been about the best riders. Same in many individual sports where countries have places rather than the best entrants.

It's never been any different with the GPs, they are a business who need to sell tickets and the events to countries (for the stadia).

He was right though wasn't he.

So what? He'll never be a world champ and adds little to the series.

Lucky them then!

He was fantastic at Foxhall late this season, in terms of his speed.

Shame that Madsen is back in, if true, would've preferred Thorsell, he was very unlucky in the challenge (to Fricke's advantage).

If Oxford keep Boughen in for Wednesday then I think Poole will win this overall.

Sky

You only get passing if the faster rider is behind or the one in front makes a mistake. That happened infrequently last night.

Neither Cardiff or Belle Vue are close to me but hope it's a success. I'll stick to the guarantee of it being on, at Cardiff and watch BV on TV.

Doesn't make them any quicker, just unpredictable if they get grip.

Given the fad for leg dangling these days, I'm surprised no-one has tried the old style banana seat yet, as that's much easier to get your weight over the back wheel and get more grip if you need to.

Nonsense. He gave his bonus, wow, must've been what 0.0001% of his earnings? I'm not knocking him at all, he's a great rider and yes, appears committed to Ipswich and that was a great gesture so don't turn it into an 'I hate Emil narrative'. He won't be wanting to do the gp's for the money. Oh and that old tired argument of risking their life for our entertainment nonsense, it's a career they've chosen.

Whilst I agree I suppose, I won't be signing as I couldn't really care less who is in the GP's, more interested in who will be riding and committed in the UK.

Custard Creams followed by Ginger Nuts get my vote. All biscuits are welcome at my table.

I think with football it's justified. For the womens Euros they had women presenters/commentators. With mens Euros they still had women presenters/commentators. It should always be the best person for the job, irrespective of gender, race etc.

The Aces will walk this over two legs.

Did you see the last GP?

There's a lot of miserable b'stards on here😃. I'm just glad to be able to watch it on TV as I would never attend that many meetings. Eurosport put the money in (I'm sure the BSP are glad they did) and the presenters do a great job - I can forgive the odd mistake, life's too short.
