the bend itself is not square,but the exit is narrow which means the cut back has to be really good to come up the inside ,as you can see any decent moves are usually round the outside.The football pitch is main obstacle because a couple of metres of entrance and exits would make a huge difference to the quality of the racing ,unfortunately it will never happen.To compound the matter as Chris Louis alluded too that Theo said the track is being prepared slick in the last few weeks because that's what the riders like ,and it is a gating contest.On the bright side was impressed with Dany Gappmeir looks good for a 5 pt reserve.Ps If you think 3/4 bend at Berwick is square wait till you see the entrance to the 3/4 bend at Glasgow!!

While I am not questioning that you had rain in the afternoon,the forecast I looked at said there would be no rain after 6pm which was correct.It is a damned if you do and damned if you don't nowadays,but fans will will not take a chance these days because of these decisions. yr.no is the site I use which is Norwegian but seems to be more accurate than BBC and other British sites.Its no good Promoters moaning about low attendances when they make erratic decisions when to call matches off. -
Agree,but for someone at his level he has more trouble than most.
-
he does seem to lack mechanical expertise in himself and Team,you can't dispute his commitment during a race when he has a decent bike under him.

Harris scored 7 out of 15 had a 2nd and a 3rd hardly sensational ,but credit is due as he work hard for them.Probably should be a pick given the standard of the other Brits.
-
Agree his starting is on a different planet 9/10.
-
Think the other riders should be trying the Hancock tyre set-up judging by the way it get him out of the gate!

That was a decent GP consider Prague has got a bad reputation for boring meetings.Natural watering is the answer!!

Maybe that's why there should be only one League next season.Elite is just a word in this case. -

King's Lynn V Coventry Bees (sky) Wed 22nd June
Fromafar replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Some great action ,good meeting.I agree with other comment regarding starting,it appears you have to let the tapes get level with your handlebars or it is deemed you have anticipated the Start!!!! That's not right,nobody was near touching the tapes tonight yet races were brought back. -

It has ,but it is getting worse every season! -
It is a sad situation ,but it does reflect how the sport is run these days.Even die-hards will soon be calling enough is enough.Lets face it the sport is not attracting new fans anyway.Jolly's actions are typical of a lot of today's modern day Promoters.(it's my ball).
