Wow, what a meeting, it was that gd im sat watching it again on sky.
Team GB were no disgrace, i said before hand i wouldn't of picked kennett, he doesnt ride the showground well and despite just returning from injury i would have given oliver allen a chance tonihgt, always performs well at the showground and is a fast gater. Very proud of our performance. Heat 14 grat ride by king, but heat 20, what a race, that was fantastic, and jasonn crump a real racer, superb.
I was pleased poland won the meeting, i believe it give Team GB a better chance, i now see it as 2 from 4 rather than 1 from 3 as feel that the poles wud have been absolute certs to go through. What a mouthwatering meeting in prospect on thursday, i just hope the track is prepared right to do it it justice.
In term of the team, rob lyon gave the youngsters a chance, im pleased he did, and they did very well, but that will help them for rest of season and their future.
The team i would pick if i was in charge and having listened to rob lyons's interviews, and riding order being blue again.
1. Scott Nicholls
2. Chris Harris
3. Lee Richardson
4. Tai woffinden
5. Daniel King
Personally, i would give olly allen a chance, purely because of his gating.
One disapointment, was gollob not goin out in heat 25. poor made up excuse it seemed. :-(
Anyway, i look forward to thursday, well done Team GB for the effort the all gave tonight.
