Really? Germany don't have a single GP standard rider. If we can't beat a team of (probably) Huckenbeck, Blodorn, Riss and Wolbert on any track in the world, there needs to be serious questions asked.
It's only the astronomically unlikely situation of Australia winning the SON, being seeded to a final already containing Poland, then Denmark/GB miraculously avoiding each other in the draw, that led to the likely final. Who knows what it could've been otherwise.
