Aces disastrous away form tells you all you need to know.

I think, park this one next to the Jubilee Trophy

Just because your throttle jockey Belle Vue riders can't make a pass on anybody away from the NSS you have a down on the other tracks?

Is this on BSN?

I assume by "contractual obligations" it is meant that every club has to take a hit on gate numbers equally.

Let's hope Eurosport put a microphone under Spatula's nose

But they decided to televise Ippo without Emil & Doyle instead? Baffling

I don't think the lack of home appearances from the national team helps. To expect the mainstream press to report on a national team that only makes an appearance on these shores once every few years is unrealistic and there's no way on this earth they're going to report on the appearances in the back of beyond on the continent.

LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Richard Lawson, Sam Masters, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Craig Cook, Sam Hagon. OXFORD: Rohan Tungate, Erik Riss, Maciej Janowski, Charles Wright, Chris Harris, Ashton Boughen, Luke Killeen. Was this due to be on Eurosport? For reasons best known to themselves they're at Ippo instead and seem to be ignoring the race for the final play off spot altogether! If it wasn't due to be on Eurosport why is it on a Monday night?

I was watching Bewley preparing his gate 1 in the final, the first couple of grooves he tried were far too deep by the final, it looked like he dug his own in the end while banging front wheels with Lambert, then pulled back with about 6 seconds to go! I was absolutely astonished when he made the start in the final!

Looking at the championship standings this morning and with Zmarzlik proving that he is human after all, can Lambert do a Mark Loram this season?

I'd just like to see him with a mental coach in his corner to maybe focus him when he goes missing on occasion, you can be a laid back character but sometimes you need to get your head in gear to be a consistent winner, toughen him up a bit. Who knows that may not work for him but it's got to be worth a try, having the likes of Adam Ellis in your corner on occasion, no disrespect, is not going to win him world titles. Maybe he's got as good as he's going to get but not only is he talented and very very fast on a Speedway bike but he's got the rare talent that so many lack, finals do not faze him, it's quite a remarkable record. It'd be a travesty if he reached the end of his GP career with many GP wins but nothing else to show for it.

Does anybody care about that anymore?

So far I've been able to go every year as you may have guessed I'm not a great fan of WBD, I think they've set our sport back quite a bit

Date was announced the day after last year... hopefully we'll find out later today 🙏 https://www.fimspeedway.com/news/cardiff-2024-date-confirmed-sign-up-now-for-early-ticket-access

Not a bad crowd considering the lack of promotion for the event. I think a lot of what you say stands up, undoubtedly the move away from the UK's "mainstream" sports channels hasn't helped. Interestingly there does seem to be a different demographic that attends the GP, many Polish fans still, even though they have Warsaw but also I do notice how many young people attend the Cardiff GP, many, many people in their early to mid 20's and who can blame them it's a very cheap day out... it just seems to be the old fart complaining brigade that stays away 🤷‍♂️

... or indeed a day, you did say @Rob B was wrong though. I've heard from a few more reliable sources that this year was the last of a deal signed by previous rights holders IMG. Generally in the past the date for the next event has been announced at the event or the next day, not a goto the website and register your interest statement. It sounds very far from signed and sealed to me.

I do wish Bewley would get himself a proper manager/mentor, a Pete Adams type or even Adams himself. The rest of the SGP field must be absolutely crapping themselves at just how good Dan Bewley can be. For me he's by some distance the most talented rider in the field, generally is always right up there or fastest in qualifying, gets through to a final and generally wins it, pressure doesn't seem to effect him, must have ice running through his veins... but inexplicably just goes missing from time to time, maybe he just needs somebody to focus his mind, I don't know.

Not quite though did they? They said goto the website to register for Cardiff 2025 tickets which is a bit different to tickets are on sale. I was stood behind a bloke at Birmingham on Monday night that was wearing an official 2022 SGP Tour t-shirt that had all the venues printed on the back... the last one said Oceania GP November 2022!

Well done! You got there in the end

Was there some afters there between Lambert and Holder? Didn't get to see a replay inside the stadium

I've seen it done after 1 bend!
