Swedish league 2026 Round 8 Tuesday 30th June
mikebv replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
The home team finally realising that riding mid track isn't the quickest way round... Maybe, usually, by this time, the inside is too slick, but clearly this evening it isn't... -
Oxford vs Poole KOC QF 13/05/26 1st leg

Is a "workshop" injury, a Speedway related injury? -
Swedish league 2026 Round 8 Tuesday 30th June

Pretty decent, especially given the watering the track got.... Phil Morris would have been proud!!! The inside is still a bit too grippy due to the moisture, meaning the wide line isn't quite working well enough... Still a good watch, two pretty even teams.... With Jason Doyle probably the difference... -

Great team riding from Berntzon... Blocked his team mate and let Doyle ride underneath the pair of them... Hold the line and would have been a 5-1... -

If you are injured, do you get on the back of the Paramedic's E scooter???? -

Famous last words, but... I have seen some fantastic racing from this track, when it has "peed down".... Here's hoping.. -
That decision alone pretty much summed up UK Speedway.... A team found a "sweet spot" night to ride on, so were getting better crowds, and then got stopped from doing so as it wasnt their "official night" meaning there were not enough "guests" now available on Fridays... FFS!!!!

I seem to remember Dave Goddard saying it was coming from Indianerna this week? -

At least Richard Lawson should turn up... -
Apart from NKI... I presume he takes the ferry to Poland?.. Sadly, no ferries now run direct to Denmark, but there is a route via Germany and Holland...

And all the "stupid o' clock" starts!!! Must be a nightmare in logistical planning too... Flights, Hotels, Bike prep whilst away... Getting enough decent sleep to keep alert enough to ride a Speedway bike must also be a challenge.... And then when you get there you may not ride!!!

Exactly the kind of thing every club should do on match day... 15-20 mins on YT...

He is clearly a very talented motorcyclist ... Given the way he "backed off" when surrounded by other riders when riding Speedway, maybe having brakes on a bike gives him the confidence to keep riding "full on", knowing he can stop the bike whenever he needs to... Even towards the end of his Speedway time he could still get out of the start and win races comfortably, showing that on an open track he could ride full on and fast... Hopefully he can still return to the sport and overcome his obvious challenges, as he certainly is more than fast enough to be a decent level rider...

Enjoyed that, not much in the way of passing, but as seems usual in Poland, most races have at least three riders in contention for most of the races.... With every race a stand alone event in the eyes of the fans... A drawn heat? Meh... A lost heat? A disaster of biblical proportions . A won heat? Let's get the party started... A big crowd, away fans, a bit of tribal atmosphere, and you have something worth attending again...

Agreed, but too many times the rider in front must know Zmarzlik will make a "long straight" of it and try and nail him at the entrance to the turn, meaning riding down the fence leaves them a sitting duck... Lebedevs knew Dudek had planned a long straight so purposely got himself off the fence as soon as he could, and started to move left, meaning Dudek, when he arrived at speed, had to suddenly move to the outside line... Maybe Zmarzlik would still pass around the outside,given he is that good, but at least make him work for it ..
