What are they riding these days?
Last round of the Speedway World Championship we made it too must have been at least 10 years ago and there was a mixed bag of upright ESO and JAP powered bikes along with the ESO 'Slopers' as they were called.
Mixed results as well, didn't seem any pattern to the wins, except I believe the 'Slopers' were better suited to the 1.5 mile Olympic Park track.
