Castagna said the U/21 commission confirms the field( whoever they are)and they also removed some of the weaker riders replacing them with riders from other Nations.”we also removed the weaker riders “suggests Castagna had a say .We shall see!!
If you read Castanga in the SS he’s says he will select from Nations,but will also make changes to ensure it’s the best riders are there.Surely Chuganov would be one of the wild cards.
The Poles are better the the Danes at 7/8 teams at any track IMO.The Russians are Speedway of Nation Champs but they certainly are not Clearly better than the Rest.GB and Poles are up there with them.
Fair enough, but the Stats show different over the last few seasons if you go by results.If the Gp qualifiers didn’t have limits on Nations entries I think it would show how many are better than the young riders from some of the other Nations than You think IMO .Ekstraliga is very strong and the majority of the Young Poles are on the Pace.
Some of your journeymen are not even mid twenties, and reserves are all U/21.Would like to see your definition of deadwood in GB speedway, must be about 70% or more IMO.
How many World beating reserves have GB produced! Never mind them disappearing.Speedway in Poland is different as the trackS are generally big a fair bit of room and fast .Dont think you need the skills that were required to ride British tracks who have become (in the most) outdated the advent of modern technology.We can’t fill the Stadiums which is problem if the sport is to survive and revive.
Bewley has to be admired too,I reckon he has his work cut out IMO.Hope it works well for him.At least the tracks will suit his style and speed.These young Poles are tough cookies .
Agree 100%,most of British Speedway nowadays is just journeymen riders trying to earn as much as they can .I only hope the crop a young riders coming through don’t end up the same.You have to take your hat of to Lambert he has ambition to succeed.It is very hard to see a pathway for the Young Brits given the state of the the sport here though.
You certainly can’t anticipate a start these days ,refs seem to want the riders in even line over the 1st 10 metres,or he calls it back ,sometimes without aWarning!!! Doesn’t seem right.IMO
You can’t afford to be seen to give up in a race over there,you won’t get your next ride!
You can see why the Brits find it tough.The young Russian was giving Doyle a hard time.!
