Following the very sad passing of Nigel 'the voice of speedway' Pearson, has there been any news regarding who will be commentating?

I sincerely hope Kelv stays on, but he may not wish to continue without his dear friend Nigel.

I can't find anything on the web...

I suspect nothing will be announced in advance, find out on Saturday. My guess would be Chris Louis but purely a guess.

We might have a stand in on Saturday ahead of a formal announcement after Nigel's funeral has taken place.

But if anyone is listening, what about our own Dave Goddard? Very knowledgeable, personable and engages with his audience well.

For those of us in a country where there’s no television broadcaster, does anyone know if it will still be available to watch on YouTube ?

I would certainly hope so! For a while, it was done via the SGP website, and then switched to YouTube, so I have no reason to suspect that we would be deprived of it this year.

Just wondering if anyone else here has Discovery+ on the SkyQ app? Signed up for entertainment and sport just now but when I activated the sky app it is different to the discovery+ on my tablet....no sport! According to my account I have two devices , my Android tablet and Sky Q showing as paired...but both accounts look different

I had exactly the same problem, luckily my daughter is more switched on than I am and I have an Amazon firestick. She downloaded the Discovery Plus all on that and sports is on it.

Turns out I signed up for it on my tablet and linked it to my Sky Q box but sky already have me a free 12 month sub....for the basic discovery app...so had to try and watch snooker (zzzz) just to try it out on an Android device but keeps saying playback error....going to try firestick now, have signed in and will see if the live streams work....generally awful service

I believe it may be Dave Rowe, who posted on twitter earlier that he was in Croatia.

I take it that this qualifying session is fastest lap gets first pick of rider number? If so it's completely pointless as the track is gone after the first 3 sets of quali already. Surely they should aggregate the times or average them after the completion of all of the quali sessions. 

Or a knock out format like F1, this current format just doesn't work for me

See my post on the Gorican thread- explaining qualification.

Am i reading this right on Eurosports website

4 points for a Heat win? Is this a new rule or is it a typo?

Certainly looks like it. If this is true I'm surprised it hasn't been made more widely known. That is quite a big change.
