Did I hear R Worrall say Hans had retired?

Heritage

Rain has cleared, sun trying to break through now

Wright's Home BV average = 8.24 Brennan's Home BV average = 7.60 Not much in it, add in Brennan's international experience and he gets the nod, in the eyes of S&A

Who are the top 5 riders?

More than: Pedersen, Michelsen, Kolodziej, Lidsey & Chris Holder

I wonder if that makes a profit... currently there are no Cubs in the senior team, I assume they're getting loan fees for some of the asseted riders

The forecast isn't great but it's set to clear by around 4pm, time is running out on the season and the TV cameras will be there. I've given up trying to second guess what Speedway promotions will do theses days, so who knows? If only they had something that could cover the track when the weather at start time is due to be okay

I wouldn't mind seeing Emil again around Leicester, but will probably plump for a trip over to Peterborough as there's just too much hanging around for a TV match

Andersen's 2023 record: Home: 8, 8, 4, 7, 5 Away: 1, 3, 3, 3, 2, 5, 5, 5, 7, 10

Wonder if they'll have "For Sale" banners adorning the air bags on Monday if the TV Cameras are in town

We must not upset Eurosport! The saviours of our sport

They maybe have to ride in these meetings because it's being run as a business, so to sell sponsorship packages to other businesses they'll have a programme of events that they're participating in to sell to sponsors. The sponsors, The Daily Star for example, probably don't even know or care that some of the competitions the team are riding in carry little prestige. That would be my take on it anyway

Lawson?

I don't think it's called Twitter anymore

I think Tai straight lined it once... surprised me Lambert & Bewley didn't do it more... It's probably a difficult move though, trouble is Zmarzlik makes it look so easy!

Most sensible post of the night award

Rider/ Manager? He's only a few years ahead of Nicki

Wow! You have to hand it to MAGIC Janowski tonight, redemption for the SoN in 2021. Danes did well to come back from a disastrous start Aussies unlucky with Jack Holder Brits 1 rider short of an easy victory Now for Leicester vs Ipswich on Monday

Jack Holder seemed alright when he was walking back to the pits until that female medic twisted his wrist round then he was on his knees... just saying

Don't rule Newman & Rowe out!

The drone nearly passed Janowski in his last race

Our top 3 are a good as any currently 5th, 8th & 9th in the world, beyond that the other contenders for a team place are all very much of a muchness, Ellis has time on his side and of the other's, on form, I probably would have gone for Lawson for his starting ability. Really tonight i think it's probably as open as it's been for years and you could make a case for any of them to win it, for Poland it'll depend on which Janowski turns up, the Magic one or the Tragic one. Come on our boys!

Not directed at you but if true this whole "people in the know" knowing and it being on the forums before the rider knows is so disrespectful to the rider

Amateur level Speedway used to be Grasstrack had it not? Technically another sport I know but there weren't many British riders ridingi n the past that hadn't come through the Grasstrack ranks, with the decline of the Grasstracks this seems to have been replaced by the junior Speedway programme and moto x riders making the switch
