Tom Brennan didn't do his SoN selection chances much good at Belle Vue tonight... on the other hand Adam Ellis seems to have returned from injury and hit a bit of form

But Tom showed his skills a couple weeks ago in the British Final and on the way to Cardiff, can’t ignore it.

Did Adam Ellis show anything last night either?

The only Belle Vue rider he beat was Tate Zischke once when he fell and got excluded and the other was when Rew put Zischke in the fence

Few surprises there though I didn’t know Lahti had moved from Finland to Sweden. That must reduce his chance of selection

Does absolutely nothing for the credibility of the competition when a Finn rides for Sweden especially when his own country is participating as well.

He's on a Swedish passport & license.

Neither of which changes the fact he is a Finn who has previously ridden for Finland.

For the record I didn’t approve of it when Rune Holta did it years ago.

Just looked on the TV planner and unless it changes it does not look like it is on Eurosport so guess it might be on Discovery +

Yes, I just had a look on the Eurosport planner and its not listed, however it is listed on Discover+. That's a pain, as I'm away in my caravan and I would normally record it from Eurosport on my Sky box. However, although I have the Discovery+ app on my Sky box, I can't record from an app. My only other option is to watch it on my mobile live on the Discovery+ app, but its going to be a mighty small screen!

More than likely SON will be available on Discovery+ either full version or shortened for some time . I can still view last years GPs.
Alternatively,  if your mobile will cast and you have a tv in your caravan that will receive then you will have it available in your caravan.

Strange decision as he would most likely have been selected to ride for Finland where the chances of riding for Sweden were/are slim at best

Unfortunately to cast to from my mobile to my portable TV in the caravan, both the Mobile and the Chromecast I have plugged in to the back of the TV , have to be on the same Wi-Fi network. Most sites we have been on have rather pathetic Wi Fi, that is usually not fast enough for good streaming so I tend to use the data on my phone to watch. I need to get a portable TV with the Discovery+ app on I think. More expense!

Assuming your caravan tv has a HDMI connection buy a Roku stick. I got a one for about £35 (eBay) for my bedroom tv and it works perfectly with Discovery+ app that I loaded on.

Lemo seems to have the biggest decision to make, who do you go for out of an injured Holder, an injured Kurtz with home track knowledge and an up and down Fricke with a lot of BV knowledge? Knowing Lemo it'll probably be a left field decision.
