  1. never thought id see the day that Leigh and Nicki P would get 5-1'd by Davidsson and Bob the Pole! mad
  2. well done leszno and well done Leigh, what a way to sign off his career in europe. anyone able to condense what he said in his interview? the streamer i was watching switched channel just as they were about to talk to him cant wait to go out to leszno in 2 weeks and join in the celebrations for him.
  3. yes....the world championship is an individual event...what that has to do with a team national competition, i have no idea. next.
  4. good god! looking at that line up at the moment, swindon could really do quite well here! Zengi unbeaten so far...Big Ron's genius knows no bounds
  5. he really struggled when he was a wildcard in the GP opener this season didnt he...
  6. more like his bike went mate. damn...really hopes he makes it through.
  7. which is the best quality stream chaps? got the fred tv one and its watchable but pretty ropey...anything better?
  8. Probably means THJ is going to be missing swindon's 3 matches in 3 days...darn you Scott Nicholls!!! no, hope they both are ok.
  9. What a load of fuss about nothing. both were racing incidents caused by 2 riders going for it, neither were particularly dirty but unfortunately it caused a big crash in one of them. Grow up kids...
  10. no matter who you support, or what the track is like... the world cup always delivers top class entertainment this is brilliant.
  11. because, at the end of the day, its blokes on a bike going round and round in circles, as soon as the media and most of the general public realise this, instant switch off. occasionally a few will see past this, like the chap from the mirror(?) lately who went to his first meeting and loved it, writing a decent report. i'd think its the main reason why there is no interest in NASCAR and stock cars in the UK. (not that it appeals to me)
  12. Watching the replay of the tangle between kennett and scott on that first bend, Eddie bounces around quite a bit and i think gets his foot stuck between the track and the footrest in the process which it seems pushes the footrest backwards on its pivot so its the footrest is much further back than it should be, meaning he couldnt put enough weight on it to slide the bike round. on the replay it shows kennett scrabbling to get his foot back on the rest round the first bend but not quite being able to find it. i think that was the main reason why he was just nursing it round. that said, kennet said in an interview that his engine was seizing up too! so my theory could be poppycock, but his footrest did look to be out of place after the prang. Come on, you cant deny that it was at the very least tricky to ride early on. if the track was more like the usual monmore we often see, both grippy and smooth im sure it would have made for a much better spectacle. im all for passing in every heat, but id much rather watch it from riders going at it hammer and tong together a la robson and steady, rather than riders bucking about and straightening up heading for the fence and being passed. that, to be honest, doesnt really excite me at all, its just unpredictable. each to their own though. the last meeting at monmore on sky, i thought, was a much better watch, even though the track was slick, but it was consistent, meaning all riders could have a go.
  13. track is shocking, ruining what should be an entertaining meeting. not surprising to see a few of the pl boys get out of shape but when you see Harris going flying like that 14 heats in to a meeting! something is definitely not right.
  14. superb line up and cracking price too. definitely worth the train down from bristol, i'll be there.
  15. cracking line up, well done gary. not getting too exited about emil being there just yet, will wait until hes at track for that, but for the timing of him being announced is quite encouraging compared to what happened last year. looking forward to this alot
  16. Rico and Lindgren both added to the line up very interesting, hope rico and gary have patched things up (groan...sorry!)
  17. Hopefully Crumpy will be in town after the Ben Fund Meeting a few days before. Would be great to see Lindback and Emil too after Emil had visa problems this time last year. Hopefully Patch could get Rune to come over aswell, maybe butter him up for a place in the 2011 team along side Zagar Talk of the devil, hopefully he'll be there too. should be a good one whoever comes off though.
  18. well...not sure too many people were predicting the current score line at the moment!
  19. superb meeting from torun, although i missed heats 13 and 15, ward and woffinden both very impressive at times and some good racing. torun do have a very exciting team.
