He lifted a bit in the corner and came across.Don't you see that sort of thing often when you go to a meeting?Or do you only see it when Nicki does it?Not sure what you expect from the sport or the riders.The same thing with Bomber and Balinski.Do we have lots of people here going on about how unfair that was?To me that was just a racing incident the same as Nickis

Don't think there is much point garf.The sort of thing he is pointing out happens two or three times in most speedway meetings.Sometimes two or three times in a heat.That is speedway.Maybe Jirout wants all speedway bikes fitted with radar systems that cuts the throttle when they get too close to another rider?

True.That is the scenario i was predicting a day before the meeting.I said Gollob should be reserve and come in for whoever isn't performing on the day to ensure a Polish win.Cieslak dropped balinski instead but the end result was the same

That bit came from a Polish fan on the german forum,Peter.I looked on sportowefakty and Olsens name is mentioned,but my Polish is worse than my Danish so just guess this guy knows what it says Must say though that on watching the first few heats i thought maybe something funny was going on.Gollob was so much better than the previous two meetings and can't remember who he passed in his first heat but he left them all for dead.

Quote myself as i have just seen that Denmark(from what i have seen led by Olsen!)protested about the machines used by Gollob and Kasprzak.After being taken apart and examined everything was in order though

There isn't much point trawling the records to find a worse performance.Look to the future.If i saw right Denmark had Nicolai Klindt in the pits helping out and gaining some valuable experience.Where were the young Brits? Like others have said the format is flawed.It is obvious going into the race-off gives teams an advantage.Poland looked miles faster at first,but the Danes did get themselves into it.Why couldn't we?

Agreed,but he would be better off doing the catering.Think of the profits that could be made from fish rolls

I agree.What would a guy from the middle east know about speedway?

Don't agree.We keep hearing Middlo is a great motivator.What is the good of that if he can't help make a rider perform above himself?Today they didn't even perform average let alone above themselves.Look at the other team managers.All international riders,who have experience on various tracks around the world.Does Middlo have the experience to match them on all types of tracks?I say get someone who knows the way to ride all sorts of tracks not just british ones

I must say i was impressed with Lubos in the GP qualis.Obviously had the easier meetings

Have you looked at Steves stats lately?Ask SCB to explain averages to you.3.36 isn't better than many and certainly not Christian

I would have thought GP riders like Scott and Chris should be able to get a heat win if non-GP riders like Watt,Bjerre and Iversen can.Don't you?

Not really,but it makes Silverbee feel better

Disagree.Like i said i don't include Ed in the criticism,nor Allen as he wasn't in the team proper.But just look at the riders who won heats.Bjerre,Iversen,Sullivan + Watt for instance.Are you really saying we have no rider on a par with them.At least one that can win a heat?Sorry the team under-performed big time.Why,is the question.

Surely you can't believe that.GB under-performed tonight by a fair bit.Can't criticise Ed,but the rest?And who is the guy who should be advising and motivating them?The manager.

Thanks Ghostwalker.Hope he gets back as i like Eric the fighter Not much else happening or will we see lots of signings this weekend? Are Smederna replacing Eric?

Is that a surprise?I thought Eric was a Blacksmith through and through.But he was left out of the team for one or maybe two meetings.Has something happened behind the scenes or just that he isn't good enough?

Just as well.If he was Danish he wouldn't be riding in the SWC

Thing is,and Hans pointed this out.The teams that are in todays meeting have a good advantage on getting race practice on the track.My personal opinion though is that Denmark not only have the better riders,but also the best team manager

Thanks Anders.Excellent stuff.i thought you had forgotten about the question

Well i manged to meet TMW last night,so that is one crossed off the list Won't be at any GPs this year.But will you be at the Danish Final in Fjelsted?

Wasn't that when some of the Kaspzak family and team members got up to a bit of "mischief" as Subedei would say
