Question for Leicester fans saying that they wouldn’t support the Lions with Nick Morris in the team I agree an apology to fans for letting the team down is required. If Patrick Dudek agreed to ride for the Lions would the same apply ? As he got banned for drug use as well and proved can come back to succeed . I believe that if Nick decides to come back to UK this year there are multiple Premiership and Championship clubs interested but one advantage Leicester can offer is free track time to get back up to race fitness and bike time

Not watched all of tonight’s GP yet but have the agree the standard of TV production does not seem as high as normal especially as they brought their usual OB Provider TVN over from Poland to provide the facilities but may have had to use UK based cameraman and Vision mixer many of which will have not done Speedway before

I wonder why that is that they have done the comms from London seems like a strange decision to me

Rider replacement for Leicester tomorrow with all riders able to take a ride even Fricke in heat 8 as only race he can do. I think club will continue with this until next averages then look where they are with replacement options as come July some riders may be interested in UK racing possibly

Little surprised to see Brennan and Mulford representing team GB based upon British final placing and averages. i assume a number of other British riders didn’t want to do the qualifiers

I was actually referring to Ashton at Kings Lynn with comments about R/S and the post about Dan was in relation to how long BV will keep Tate

Options to replace rising stars this year are very limited as Leicester and Kings Lynn are finding especially when young upcoming prospects like Harrison,Scott feel that they are not ready. Looking at the list Sam Hagon is probably the best option currently available

From what I heard at Leicester tonight sounds like Dans wrist is not healing very well at present and still in pain . I believe he is going to get it checked again next week then may have to look at Operation to sort it out . Ipswich may have to make a change if going be another 6-7 weeks and need to act quick as having a feeling BV will be chasing the same riders

More likely he will be at Leicester if Gilkes is confirmed as ruled out for season as Will has admitted he has overcome some of his negative thoughts about the Leicester track if BV decide not to use him

The reasons the advertising signs were down today was due to the wind the track staff stood them up at least twice that I saw even moving bricks to help but they kept blowing down . You have to remember for safety they have to be lightweight aluminium frames with canvas

It’s more due to it being a tv meeting that this has been called off early as probably around £10,000 has been saved than if they had waited until the morning as OB trucks were due to arrive this evening then overnight security plus if cancel on day have to pay 25 freelance staff plus Abi daily fee so will always be the same for tv meetings as contractually they still have to return

We shall have to wait and see I do know that Phil Morris has large input to wildcard’s and that Discovery will be keen to have a British rider in the series . Dan was also due to start riding in Poland having signed for a club a couple of weeks ago can’t remember which club so this injury has come at an awful time for him

Depends what happens in other SGP2 qualifiers if Two British riders qualify then unlikely that Dan would be given a wild card however can’t see that happening so more than likely Dan will be in

Although Birmingham knew when they signed MJJ that his initial contract was only until the end of May all indications from the rider to the club were that he was enjoying riding in UK even as much as bringing new engines over two weeks ago to suit British racing

I am 99% sure that Picko’s engines are Ashtec Rockets and Mr Howarth just does the services on them like he does for many riders so they don’t have to keep sending them to Poland
