Any ideas when the tickets are available ?? 

Checked Belle Vue Aces and British Speedway websites' and can't find any details. 

 

 

 

Nothing yet. Even the riders not been told what’s happening or anything. 
 

I know belle Vue are desperate to put tickets on sale but can’t until they know full details from BSP ltd.

One thing I am curious about. Do the Brits, who choose to ride abroad only (Woffy, Bewley, Lambert) get invited to compete, or do they choose not to?

Read a quote from Bewley earlier in the season that he wants to ride and will have bikes in UK.

Yes, I think he mentioned it during the GP, also Robert Lambert may also fancy it. It would be good to hear something from Tai, managed to ride in the Peter Craven Memorial.

Am I right in thinking that generally riders from other nations are "encouraged" to ride in their national championships or risk losing their licence?

I know there is mixed opinions on the British lads who only race abroad, but to me that needs setting aside and the British Final should be our top riders regardless of which clubs they race for.  It would be very disappointing if some of our top riders want to take part and are excluded.

I dont know what stance other nations take, but if would not surprise me if some do as Iainb suggests.

As it is no longer a qualification route to the world championships, then it is merely an 'open' event and therefore the BSPA can have whoever they like in it.  Inevitably there would also need to be agreement reached on the money on offer to those competing.

I'm sure I remember somebody asking Lambert on social media last year why he wasn't in the British Final and his reply was that he 'wasn't asked'.

If I remember rightly the story was that Lambert was asked but turned it down. so the following season he was not asked.

So, no Lambert, no Tai... one wonders whether they were asked again as Bewley said he only found out he was in it when it was announced on Eurosport, I assume he wasn't joking

I know Bewley had said he wanted to ride the British Final this year, and Adam Ellis also confirmed Bewley would be riding on the podcast. Guessing it was just the official confirmation that Dan didn't know about, so I doubt it was a big surprise to him.

Still a bit weird that he found out that way, though. Guessing that shows the levels of organisation!
