Let's hope that he got his eye in last year then

sounds unlucky with his exclusion so might be worth a few pence e/w

"Comments: Stopped. Pedersen seems to lock up on bend 3 lap 1 just as Sayfutdinov hits a rut. The 2 collide and Pedersen comes off. Kudos to Hancock for avoiding Pedersen. Sayfutdinov excluded."

Bets done. Hampel to win NZ GP. England to win 3-0, Lescott first goal. What time is it on the tractor pulling championship channel?

The action at Western Springs stadium in Auckland begins at 4pm local time, meaning UK viewers can see it all live on new SGP broadcaster British Eurosport from 3am.

Finishing behind Bunyan in the NZ GP. As Bjerre found out last year, it's all downhill from here:

Heat 06: Sayfutdinov, Woffinden, Bunyan, Vaculik.

Good ride from Bunyan to hold on to third.

What is the point of having a GP so far away? NZ had some of the best riders in the world but if Bunyan is the best that they can now produce shows how much the sport has declined. In the current economic climate having GP's at the end of the earth seems madness to me.

Well chuffed with that. What a great day - subscribed to UK Eurosport Player for iPad £2.99 month, went and bought AV lead £18 and watched the whole meeting perfectly. All paid for by Mr Hampel. Not much action, apart from Ward v Rusky but always more entertaining while your bet is still in the running. That's why I like to have a bet.

Gate 1 was far too advantageous. Would have been better if they had staggered the start. They all carry similar speed so unless you have exceptional talent like Ward and Gollob will always be about the gate.

Not to those in NZ and Oz. GP series is about having meetings in different countries. Formula 1 is hardly entertaining but seems to get the coverage around the world.

Comparing SGP and F1 is like chalk and cheese. One is a highly organised professional sport, the other is like a sunday kickabout at the park.

Maybe, but I know which I would rather watch. Give me Speedway any day - unfortunately it is run by muppets. There is more action in a droll Speedway meeting than a whole season of F1. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

[admin]

Have to say that I reached heat 16 of the recording but then put the racing on from Southwell - similar surface and more interesting

Was surprised by Woffinden up to that point, didn't look out of place & has a shout at top 8 on that showing but it's a long season.

Did I miss something..... What happened to double points for Final heat?

Interesting point, I must have missed that as well

6/10/12 - 11. Antonio Lindback (Sweden) - 2, 3, 3, 3, 0 = 11 + 2 + 6 = 19

23/3/13 - 12. Jaroslaw Hampel (Poland) - 1, 1, 3, 2, 2 = 9 + 3 + 3 = 15

It was changed by the FIM at their meeting at the end of the season.
