I can now see why Johnno fitted in so well at Brandon last year

Think this taken from speedwayworldtv: THE FIM have confirmed the regulations for the richest race in speedway at the end of the season. A prize fund of $200,000 will be up for grabs in the last heat of the Grand Prix series at Gelsenkirchen on October 11. Last year, Andreas Jonsson won $100,000 for his win in the German Grand Prix to mark the 100th GP since the competition began back in 1995. However, this year's prize heat will be an extra race on the card after the German GP has completed - and it will feature the winners of the four meetings deemed as Super Prix, those being Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Cardiff and Gelsenkirchen. The winner of the race will pocket $120,000 with the consolation prizes being $40,000 for second place, $25,000 for third and $15,000 for fourth. A chance to the World Cup regulations announced at the FIM Congress was that teams will revert to being made up of five riders, as it was agreed that the six-man format used in 2007 was unsatisfactory. Ole Olsen has signed a new three year deal to continue as Race Director for the Grand Prix and World Cup series, and Olsen is also a member of the SGP Commission alongside CCP President Roy Otto and FIM Sporting Director Ignacio Verneda. will help push the tickets for this year, an extra race for a large purse, sounds like a great finale to the GP's , however have to hope we have 4 winners of those picked GP's, otherwise could cause problems

Well, my first thought on seeing the incident from on the 1st bend was that Scott took Bomber out, and we were shocked that the red lights didn't come on.Bad bad decision (or non decision by the ref) However, what concerned me more, was the fact that with Bomber still down on the track Nicholls didn't even go check he was OK or did he want a lifty back or anything. And before any of you ask, yes I do know Nicholls. And I'm fairly certain he will not be at Ipswich next season, why on earth would Coventry want to get rid of, in all honesty, probably their most successful Captain. What I would like to add though, is why should it matter what nationality Scott Nicholls is, as regards to people seeing incidents differently. What I felt I saw was Scott, having been 3rd, Holta taking 2nd placed Bomber wide and allowing Scott through briefly to 2nd before Bomber re-passed Scott,...... going into the last lap, Scott then smacking into Bomber causing him to fall. And no exclusion.!! End of.

Better change my siggy then , best of luck to Christian, however a big cheer for Tobi on parade methinks.

Oh I really hope that it is true that Tobi has the wild card, fingers crossed!!!! you know it makes sense

taken from speedwayworldtv.: JAROSLAW Hampel has suffered a complicated hand fracture in a Swedish league meeting. He may not be back on track this season. A worse setback could hardly have happened for Jarek, at this moment of the speedway season. Hampel, who had some motor problems in the spring, was now getting back to his best form. He won the Speedway World Cup with Poland, and he took second place in the Czech Grand Prix last Saturday. "I am back on the right track. Now I can chase," he said with a smile in Prague... In the Swedish league match between Dackarna and Elit Vetlanda, Hampel had an accident with Fredrik Lindgren. The Polish rider lost control of his machine and his Swedish colleague was unable to avoid him. "We still do not know how long Jarek will be ruled out for. It depends on a medical examination. First speculations suggest three months' break," says Stanislaw Kryjom, Unia Leszno coach Poor Jarek get well soon.

As Starman has said we are in a cross over period, and think Middlo's probably got it right, although my reaction was David over Simon TBH, but as events have turned out what a good judgement call that turned out to be.(get well soon David) The youngsters have to be given a chance, and this year is probably better than ever for doing just that.That's what the Aussies are doing, and what Denmark had to do a few years ago. So, whilst I think they will qualify no problem, realistically can't see them winning, but there time will come. It's interesting, that people on here, blast fans for supporting foreign riders in GP's etc., but feel it is there right to belittle the Team manager, double standards I feel, let's get behind the whole team, and that includes the manager

MrS went to DENMARK

I have to agree TC, thought that was the most boring one-sided meeting I've ever seen, and Ole Olsen should be ashamed of himself. To my mind we had 3 of the Worlds top teams there tonight, and 2 of them were not even at the races. Just hope that the Coventry track team don't let him get any where near their track for Monday. For me that meeting has summed up all of the rubbish sky have been dishing up week after week this season (Cardiff the exception of course), and no wonder people are not interested in speedway anymore or are leaving in droves.

Don't forget Tobi Kroner Edit: Even more reason not to forget Tobi now, he's got through from Lonigo tonight, beating the likes of Jarek, Max, Holder.

There is a full coach load of us coming from Ipswich

£820 now and counting, brilliant isn't it. Should raise shed loads for Garry, well done to Hans and Mick.

TBH I just don't know what to say, this is such tragic news 'again'. Our thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.

Jaybea let's not forget Zagar, who also took a nasty tumble.

I'm booked for Germany.

Yes it was any one of those

Now who can you mean?

Sounds a bit like jealousy to me

Huh you think he is naff, you should try to listen to Peter Churchill on Eurosport, he was commentating on the World Equestrian 3 Day Event this afternoon, and he was giving the scores and penalties for each rider before they had finished their round, so we knew whether they went clear in the time or not hardly before they had started. Also, he also kept getting the names and sometimes the sex of the riders wrong. Obviously Sky and their contemporaries do things on the cheap

Only if we can call it a 'joker'

The highlight for me tonight in quite a night for highlights, Jason crowned, Hans' win, even Pepe's first race win , was Ales Dryml how great was that to see and hear him tonight.Good on you Ales, continue with your rehab and we look forward to seeing you ride that bike again...marvellous bl@@dy marvellous. Unlike Mr Louis

Well I think it will be Danny King in 2012
