Fair play to Nilsson. Rode well tonight and although unfancied he attacked the racetrack and won the meeting.  Hopefully Lambert puts together a series of decent results in remaining SGP's 

 

 

 I’m afraid Lambert has to gate in the pressure races can’t pass wind.

You have to be kidding.some great racing.Bewley,Holder ,Lambert  Fricke are all. Ekstraliga riders.,what you mean is the Poles were poor.

 

 

I didn't say it was bad, I said it was the worst meeting of the season at Glasgow.

Almost 4 hours to complete the meeting is unacceptable. Many left before the end.

Berntzon, Milik & Bellego ain't Polish

What do you want them to do? Race around the ambulances? Just push the riders over the fence? Cancel the meeting?

Going off previous years it does seem Fricke is in, if Bewley remains in top 6.

Rules - as we know - can change from year to year, but it was announced that way on the commentary...

That was what Dave Rowe said several times re fourth place...

But. You never know...

Especially with the two Russian lads to potentially come back and Tai and Majic maybe not getting top six....

That is correct if one of the top 3 in the Challenge final finish in the GP top 6 then 4th in the challenge gets in- it is different with the SEC place because if the winner is in the top 6 of the GP then the FIM get another pick.

Well not the night I was hoping for! started the night decent, track caught me out in my 3rd heat and hit the ground pretty hard, unfortunately took a bike to the back in the process. Busted collarbone, 2 ribs and broke something in my lower back.
Still in hospital, find out more this morning. Thanks for all the messages, helps in these tough situations.

Kim Nilsson joins Jason Doyle and Nils K Iversen as a GP rider, 3 out of 7 from Newport Wasp's superside which broke the bank and won the KO cup

strangest memory of Kim was him and Frankie Smart racing the wrong way round Hayley meadows in just their boots and underpants !

If this was the worst meeting at Glasgow you must see some fantastic meetings! Some of the best speedway I have seen for years  

Loved my first visit to Ashfield- the racing was exciting and at times unpredictable. As someone said there wasn’t much complaining at the track as people were respectfully waiting for the injured riders to be cared for.

Some riders obviously found the track difficult but that is surely down to their own way of riding and certainly the Poles struggled with the shape - that doesn’t make the track poor, it just means there is more to speedway than open the throttle and go.

Fully agree. I was there as well. Travelled up from Yorkshire.
