I was thinking more of representing GB in FIM or FIME events in Europe rather than a challenge match in Scotland. So when did he last represent GB in Europe or has he never been asked and has always been overlooked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure i read something about entertainment in the city centre? Not sure but I am leading a group of around 60 to Wrocław next week. As part of that, especially for those who haven't been there before, I've created a document with a list of things to see and do around the city. If you haven't been before, or are interested in a copy of the document, PM me your email address and I'll happily forward it to you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJC Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Beat me too it! Nicki picking himself is ridiculous. Only reason he took the job I'd imagine! C Holder over Kurtz also seems crazy given his injury and Brady's form. GB should have enough to get through to the final from that semi.

gee jay Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 not sure why pedersen picking himself is 'ridiculous' . from the speedway i've been watching and reading in the s/star it's probably only madsen that's just in front of him in the danish pecking order atm . and with henrik as co - manager seems to me the only sensible choice , perhaps i've missed something ? brady for me aswell even if holder was 100 % which i don't think he will be. don't know if it's some sort of perverted pleasure but i would like to get through from the play-off . an extra meeting to get ready for the final rather than twiddling their thumbs for a few days . better knowledge of whats happening with the track . or it might just be i'm happy to put everyone through the agony of that because i'm not going to see the semi - finals . up the lions !!!!

racers and royals Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Some of the rules for next week. Tac Subs can be used when a team is 6 points or more behind the leading team up to and including heat 16. Each rider can take just 1 ride. Heats 17-20 are nominated heats and team managers can put their riders in any heat(1 ride only). The team in 4th place at the end of 16 heats nominates 1st, then team in 3rd, then 2nd and finally the leading team. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
