I'm actually new in this type of racing. I started wathcing it just a few months ago and i have to say i realy enjoy it.
I've seen today the last two rounds of the GP championship, Sweeden and Denmark. Good show
And although i don't have any favourite yet, i can say i allready don't like this Nicki Pedersen guy.

I'm a speedway fan, I have been watching since I was little when my dad would take me to the old Sydney Showground. I don't get to see the teams stuff here, but the Grand Prix is on telly.
I like Leigh Adams, but think he will always be the bridesmaid.

I'm a speedway fan. Closest team is Coventry Bees although I tend to go & watch Rye House more than any other team (close to where the in-laws live).
I'm off to Cardiff tomorrow for my annual weekend pilgramich to the British GP, it's a meeting not to missed IMHO, if only for the atmosphere.

Shame its not on Terrestrial. Come on Bomber! He started riding bikes down on my Grandads farm, he's absolute class - would love to see him on a Superbike or similar.

The atmosphere was fantastic iinside & outside the stadium.
Could certainly tell that money was a bit tighter this year, not so many people, bars a little quieter, but still fantastic all the same.
Sky+ must have been spiked on a lightening storm as it hasn;t recorded it or any programme from Saturday lunchtime so I have a quick question for anyone that watched it on TV
Did they show the "handbag scuffle" at the end of Heat 6 between Scott & Emil Sayfutdinov? It looked so funny from where we were sat but could see in brewing after the went helmet to helmet on the turnaround & run back to the pits.
Don't forget the announcement in tonights live meeting as to the details for next years 10th anniversary meeting.
If you've never been to the meeting try & get there, you will not be disappointed.
Mr Crump was certainly in a class of his own & looks like no one will catch him in the race to be World Champion. (hope he stays injury free now I've put the mockers on him)

The World Cup final has been postponed for tomorow morning, bcause of the heavy rain in Poland.
It will start at 11:00, Poland time.
Too bad Great Britain didn't make it to the final. They were so close...
