Not the one he rode on Sunday.

As a neutral I thoroughly enjoyed that. Most entertaining. It's a shame Poole didn't get a lead to make the second leg more interesting...I can't see Swindon having too much trouble at home. Certainly been impressed with young Kurtz recently, tonight and the U-21's. He seems to be leaving Jack Holder behind now.

This ref's a fool!

I must be watching a different meeting to everyone else, as I've seen passing in practically every race.

Fair play to Woffinden tonight. He must have been gutted after last night, but he didn't let it show...A fantastic display of fast, wide riding.

Yeh, Garry Middleton pulled a gun on Roy Trigg. Just a bit of boisterous high-jinx...It would be frowned upon now.

How can you fail to like such a happy track. I went to Landshut in 89 for Briggo's Golden Greats meeting, and it was a darn sight more entertaining than the following days world final!

The original question asked by Aces51 was "name an underserving world champion," the word 'worthy' only came up after I'd posted. Of course Penhall and Nielsen were both worthy champions, but if the question was still 'deserving' for those particular world finals, I'd say that Penhall was and Nielsen wasn't.

I guess it's pretty straightforward if the standings remain the same; Hancock, Holder, Iversen and Zagar. If Zagar and Vaculik switch around a gp win could go in Vaculiks favour possibly.

I haven't misunderstood the question at all. He clearly should have been excluded for bringing another rider down. He may have won his last race if he needed to, but we'll never know. It's no good saying "if it was a gp system," the fact is it was a one-off meeting which had an undeserved winner. Of course Ermolenko was a worthy world champion, being one of the worlds best...But that wasn't the question. Anyway, under a gp system Nielsen would most likely have won every year from 83.

Egon Muller was the same. He had a few decent world finals before his win, but didn't do much after.

Sam Ermolenko is an undeserving champion. He should've been excluded for stopping in front of Billy Hamill, causing him to crash. Hans Nielsen should have been the rightful winner.

They look like little xylophones.

Well done Matej. Rubbish gp...On the plus side, Doyley extends his lead and Traitor has a bad one.

Did Woffy say "I'm coming through like a steam train, or steam iron?"

It seems the pressures getting to Janowski. Dudek has the better temperament maybe.

Wow, cracking final!

I remember as a kid, singing along to the Fireball XL5 theme tune! 40 minutes of world final coverage...I guess we're pretty spoiled these days with three and a half hours.

So what has Smolinski decided on opening? A cat sanctuary or a brothel?

Home team-red & blue. Away team-white & yellow. That's about as much as I know these days..

Don't know if this is a wind-up so it could be a whoosh from me but international class riders like Bjerre can just go up a couple of gears in our league, whenever they seem to feel like it. I was hoping KK would do that tonight.

After the last two nights that was all very disappointing. Only Barker and Robson emerging with any credit. Scotty should be ashamed of himself.

And to think there were 6 Brits and no Poles in the '96 gp season!

I haven't been to Ipswich for over twenty years but I remember a brilliant meeting in 1990 when the Witches beat the Kestrels by a point, with the last race being voted race of the season. I think it finished, Whittaker, Mogridge, Louis and Galvin. Great times!

I wish people wouldn't keep banging on and on with the "my tracks better than yours" debate. Just be grateful you still have one...Some of us ain't so lucky.
