Can Freddie ride having pulled out of last week's meeting as still feeling the affects of his GP get off ?

Or is not riding due to the after effects of a get off, different to illness

I’ve just watched him race and beat Emil once in Toruń vs Lublin and he rode as normal, no issues, so I assume he is all good. Holder got schooled and got 4 points. Both rode though!

Fair enough 

But in GB missing a meeting is usually 7 day suspension. Probably treated very differently in Poland.

I think this is a difficult meeting to predict, Lindgren should have a better idea of what set up to use, Brennan's form has dropped off a touch just lately, Sedgy who knows which Sedgy will turn up ? and the same goes for Flint, Lampart gates and goes but when he doesn't he may as well not bother, Pawlicki has shown signs of settling in but then again if the Team managers don't use him right their is no advantage in having him at reserve, Becker for Worrall should be an improvement But Luke is having a poor season up till now. Oxford we all know Tungate rides PB probably better than any rider here tonight, Harris needs no introduction, Magic not the rider he was going on this seasons form, Riss inconsistant but another that knows PB well, Wright should score well, Kemp seems to have gone backwards and Boughen is still learning his trade, I think whereas the Brummies will need to be at their best to get a result, Oxford may just have to much strength in depth. The weather is forecast for light showers so probably not much dirt to be seen and therefore the usual gaters track.

Looking at the two teams, I think Birmingham should win. That being said Birmingham are very good at being poor. Then there's always a chance Schroeck's tactics could hinder Oxford, but Ermolenko can probably match him in the poor manager stakes. But they both can't lose. Pawlicki at reserve should be top scoring & helping the Brummies to a win.

Let's hope we get a track you can actually pass on this week, instead of the usual slick as a motorway surface we've been provided with for most of this season

Totally agree!

I think the 'state' of the track/surface will determine how close B'ham can get to 'Oxford' ?

Good racing surface (with dirt/grip) Oxford to win by 4 points.....

Usual C#ap surface (no grip) Oxford to win by 10/12 points....

The teams will sort this one out but I seem to recall Tungate is pretty good around Birmingham, as for the managers they are both as bad as each other so no advantage there.

Most track curators can only do slick

We are aprox 10 miles or so West of Birmingham and pleased to say the rain has kept away in fact it's been a pretty decent day, yeah some heavy clouds rolling across at the moment, but just looking at the forecast I think the rain will arrive late this evening, so lets hope we have a decently prepared track that will give us some decent racing, I still think Oxford will edge it by about 6 points or so.

Birmingham legend 

Will he be parading his World Championship trophies to the Brummies faithful at the interval?
