Result: Ward, Janowski, Bogdanovs! Ward retains the title!!

Some meeting and finish to the u-21s. It'll be Ward or Janowski who'll win it.

I'm pretty sure that even if Fish scored a full max and was the best rider there, it would still be his fault Glasgow lost

Wow a Monarch riding at number 1 for the Tiggers - that will be tough for the Glasgow faithful to cheer for I'm sure if he rides as well as he has been recently and also because he likes Brough - he'll more than equal what Joe would've scored.

What a pleasure it was to watch the first GP last night in Leszno. And how good is it that Ole Olsen has gone! No more slick tracks and the way the track was last night, meant we had some tremendous racing. The track was pretty smooth and the riders had more than Ole's 1 line to race on! The biggest shocks of the night were the scores from Gollob (6 points and no heat win!), Hancock (4 points) and Jonsson (5 points). All 3 we have become accustomed to seeing always in the semis/finals - so it was a bad night for all 3. Bomber was a shock! After seeing him in the EL on Sky, I thought he'd struggle big time. But no, made it to the semis with 8 points (2 heat victories in that), but was left with the graveyard gate 4 - so out he went. But very positive for him, certainly unexpected! Tai done exactly what I thought he would. He shouldn't be in the SGP, IMO. He is a talented rider, but just because he has reverted back to being a Brit - shouldn't have made him a shoe in. Before Bomber's display, I actually thought it was poor to have 2 Brits in! Holder was a revelation and will do well. Suffered from a bike failure in his middle ride and this cost him a place in the semis. But he scored a good 8 points and was exciting to watch. Kolodziej was a surprise packet - the wild card was super quick and was defintiely worth his place in the round. All in all, the SGP looked exciting again! We were treated to fast, skillful racing on a well prepared track. If this was how the rest of the series is going to be, we are all in for a great season!

That pretty much sums up my GP viewing too! Sick of the people that are in charge would have been more accurate! The sooner Kevin gets in the better though

I'm sick of the GPs now - once used to get really excited about them, but now I'm just annoyed by them. Woffinden and Harris being included are a joke. Why people think Tai will do an Emil is beyond me - Harris won't do much better, but will score more than Tai IMO. Why on earth was Mataj Zagar overlooked? All they had to do was watch that magical race against Jason Crump at the SWC @ Peterborough and that alone should have made him a dead cert.

GO THJ!!!! Not sure what his Monarchs future is, but again proves the talent the lad has. Rory - excellent!! Shame for Ryan and hope he is okay.

Full story here.

Well done Aaron Summers! No disgrace to finish behind 2 EL boys. Excellent stuff, Spud - now time for the u-21 crown next week

Well done Aaron Summers Has to be a 2009 Monarch now - please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed!!! I was screaming at the telly about that and all Kelvin could say was - "yes, Laguta came in too fast"................what??!!! Maybe Kelvin was confused as this is what riders do that actually give a damn. Richardson was so poor tonight and in that heat, he got a fright and laid it down - a little bit like when Harris done it against Andersen a couple of year back at Reading. Russia are on the up. For me, Team England are close to be the 6th best team in the world. Denmark and Australia are on another planet compared to Team England. Poland and Sweden are streets ahead too. And now the Russians with the Laguta brothers and Sajfutdinov coming through, Team England are struggling! Has to be the end of the line for Kennett and Richardson. For me only Tai and Chris done well tonight. Even Nicholls wasn't too great - considering how good HE thinks he is!
