Everything I've seen says he is including Indianernas's own website.

I would be surprised to see him riding anywhere in the UK. He has signed for Ostrow in the Polish Ekstraliga and Sweden (Indianerna)

You are right. At the time I read somewhere, it may have been in the Star, that the averages were to remain unchanged as the process would have been too complicated to unravel. They must have had a change of heart subsequently as a final set of averages was produced 22nd November 2018.

When Rye House folded halfway through the 2018 season, rider averages were not adjusted.

Quite. I am paying £37 per month for BT Sports HD which I shall cancel after the SON finals.

If this is called off tomorrow, the most likely situation is that Belle Vue will now host the first leg next Monday.

I would have thought attendance might have dropped off when Kent Kings started in 2017. However, I wonder what impact Kent moving into the championship had upon Eastbourne. It is possible that Kent supporters from the north of the county travelled to Arlington to watch CL racing. For example, many who live south of the Thames used to support the Hammers in 2018 before the club moved to Rye House. I expect many of the same supporters then came to Arlington in 2019 before switching their allegiance to Kent in 2021.

Great to see Ben hasn't forgotten his way around Plymouth. Kyle Newman is worth a shout as well.

This was the original format which ran from 1995 - 1997.

Thanks for clarifying this. The original statement was incomplete.

Probably the only reason but such an instance is not covered in the SGP statement unless there has been a subsequent amendment. Of the two third-placed semi-final riders, the one who finished highest after the heats will be ranked fifth and receive 12 championship points, while the other will be ranked sixth and earn 11 championship points – with the existing countback system used to resolve any ties if riders finished level. Likewise, the fourth-placed semi-final rider who scores highest in the heats will be ranked seventh, receiving 10 championship points, and the other fourth finisher will finish eighth and earn nine.

This doesn't explain why Madsen finished ahead of Woffinden. Points awarded for 3rd and 4th in the semis are based upon those scored in the qualifying heats. Both finished last in their respective semi but Woffinden scored 13 and so should have been awarded 10 but Madsen, scoring 10 in the qualifiers, 9. https://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/7919/sgp-scoring-and-qualification-changes

Tom is related to the Dugard family so it is quite possible he was being looked after whilst other riders were owed money.

Story so far: Jason Edwards, rising star for Eastbourne is replaced by Nathan Ablitt and signs for Plymouth where he is not a rising star. Alfie Bowtell occupies that position. Jason Crump acquires a new average of 6.98 enabling the signing of Richard Lawson who rides his first meeting for Plymouth at Leicester tomorrow. In the meantime, he rides as a guest for Glasgow this evening.

Pepe Protasiewicz 46. Former Peterborough rider could make a return.

I'm not saying he wouldn't but he might get an offer closer to home. I expect he is very much in demand.

Now that Jason's average has dropped to 6.98, Plymouth have enough points left to replace Edwards with Lawson if they wanted to.

Assuming Tom is still based in Swindon it will depend if he wants a 6+hour journey.

Glasgow are on the phone to Lawson right now I would imagine. Craig Cook has opted to take time out of the sport due to mental health problems.

They are different. Some years ago I read an article, it might have been in SS, stating that Bob had submitted planning permission to develop the site. He went on to say that he had no intention of pulling out but, with no obvious successor, he want to do the best for his family when the time came.

Not Sheffield but Belle Vue, Monday 16th August and live on Eurosport I believe. Surprised that 'under 21' champion Tom Brennan has not been included. https://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/britishfinal

Wroclaw v Czestochowa now a delayed transmission on Premier Sports 2, 9pm UK time.

If Jake had stayed in Australia this year , Ipswich would probably have signed Richard Lawson once Klindt had declared himself unavailable.

Kent have booked Broc Nicol as a guest which, probably, makes them stronger.

Eastbourne will be encouraged by the form of Lawson and Kerr last evening at Ipswich, 14+1 and 12+2.
