Pawlicki bros no 17+18 http://speedwaygp.co...night-in-gorzow

Spot on kiwi.The Danish system works because of the sheer numbers riding.I think it would still work if they rode on 125 +250cc instead of 50 + 80cc.It's just with that many riders and the amount of meetings they do they are always being tested at the right level for their ability.Trouble is in GB is the lack of riders taking up the sport leaves riders isolated and with little decent competition.Think back in the 70s or 80s when we had a good crop of riders coming through they all helped each other in a sense.Holsted again held an open day on sunday when youngsters between the age of 4-9 could try speedway for nothing,plus get a hot dog and drink as well.I know a few clubs in England do this as well now.Sure i saw Newcastle as one example.But until enough kids are attracted at a young age it will always be a struggle and we will rely on a wonder kid like Robert who succeeds despite of rather than because of the system we have

Time For A Revamp Of The Gp's?
iris123 replied to dtc's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
As has been stated he is gaining......he has the chance to win more points maybe just because of the number on his race jacket.Are you saying then that because he fails to use that advantage he should still be awarded even for coming last?just because of a race jacket........ -
10th in the German U21 Championship last year and a struggling reserve for Stralsund in the Bundesliga,but that didn't stop young Marco Gaschka making his debut in the top Polish league yesterday for Rzeszow.And fairly happy he was with his debut.Qualifies for a polish pass as both his parents were born there http://www.speedweek.ch/art_23291.html http://www.espeedway.pl/news,maro_gaschka_ina_poczatku_bylem_zestresowanyi,54415,12.html

Seems Slangerup have made Jesper B.Monberg vaailable for other clubs.Dropped by two clubs in a week i think?They had planned to use Thomas Jörgensen to boost their lower order,but he was injured in the U21s at the weekend to scupper that plan Slangerup Speedway Klub Kenneth Kruse Hansen (b Grzegorz Zengota (b Mikkel Michelsen (b Anton Rosen © Thomas Jørgensen ©to be replaced Holsted Speedway Klub Nicki Pedersen (A) Rasmus Jensen (D) Martin Vaculik (b Patrick Hougaard (b Nicklas Porsing ©

Straight to the point SCB.How often do you hear of riders who are great in practice but just average in actual meetings?Always wonder why people ask how a certain rider was in pre-season practice etc..... i know at the moment there is a rider who people tell me looks fantastic on his own in training,but when it comes to the real thing goes to pieces.It will be pretty hard to stop the hype getting out of control if Robert carries on like this.Let's hope he has good people around him and keeps his feet on the ground

Polish League Plan For 2013
iris123 replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Yes,that is why i said some things sound "iffy".Hard to police and easy to get round.That is why i wouldn't concentrate on the financial side but the other regulations here.You will still miraculously find the top teams still attracting the best riders...... -
Yes great result from Richie.Not easy on these tracks and he beat some good riders.Not sure what sort of help he will get from the BSPA.Would be a good idea to get in touch with "Whitey" Uzzell who has a good bit of experience in Argentina helping Hauzinger out over the years.The FIM have supposedly put together something to cover some costs of that trip,but if there are a few "open" meetings to help with money they are going to be won probably by the riders at the top who have more money than the struggling riders anyway,i would guess

Interesting talking of safety aspects that Robert is wearing one of these new fangled air jackets being brought out by Jason Bunyan

Looks like a good call Schack
-
Yes.
-
Yes,i know Jacky He is much a part of Team Porsing
-
Looks like Mikkel accompanied off the track by our very own Danishwebmaster
-
Ok.Dancing looks good.Can you tell the cameraman to get close in on the women and the start girls
-
Bit strange that the riders seem all over the place and thecamera man has to search for who has been announced,rather than having them from 1-18 as is the norm Fingers crossed for some great racing

Youth Gold Throphy 125cc
iris123 replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in International World of Speedway
This isn't speedway is it?Thought Vechta was grass track or longtrack......isn't this the track with a tree in the centre? -
Seems some of the Danes aren't too impressed with Ukraine as a country.Like the 1800s + hope we never have to come back here are a couple of comments Fingers crossed thing on the track are better

Gp Qualifier Berwick 16/6
iris123 replied to Warm&Cosy's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Ok.Looking forward to seeing him then.Just a name out of the blue.Had to search to see who he was riding for.Normally i get to see the young Aussies before they go to GB,in Denmark for the 80cc world championship.Riders like Darcy Ward,Arthur Sissis,Taylor Poole,Alex Davies,Cameron Heeps etc -
Gp Qualifier Berwick 16/6
iris123 replied to Warm&Cosy's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Must admit to being glad the Pawlicki brothers are riding in Güstrow and not Buczkowski.....but a bit bemused when i saw the name Rohan Tungate representing Australia.Had hoped for someone i had heard of -
Polish League Plan For 2013
iris123 replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
But you would have thought individual sponsors get a good bit of exposure from the riders being interviewed .Ok if you are sponsored by a drinks firm and you can hold a can up in front of the camera,but if you are sponsored by Dansk Metal are you going to hold an iron bar? or by an auto company,a little corgi version? -
