  1. ... until his Ashtek GM goes pop 💥 We've all seen riders through the years who have stumbled on that special engine and they look a million dollars until it goes bang and then they never quite look the same again afterwards. Whether he's one of those or a genuine generational talent time will tell.
  2. It'll be interesting to see how he goes once his Kowalski engine goes pop 💥
  3. It's responsibility, back in the early days of the SGP series track prep was left to the local organisers and a number of ploughed fields were served up or tracks favouring home riders. Mr Morris is independent and prepares an independent track and if he balls it up, it's on him.
  4. Good call by the ref, you just don't see British refs make those calls these days, dangerous or unfair riding
  5. Commentary is ahead of the pictures again... amateurs!
  6. Can you blame them? It's not really giving the impression of must watch tv is it 🤷‍♂️
  7. What ever happened to that other 16 year old sensation from a few years back, Ratarubbishz or something like that?
  8. If the FIM were truly concerned about inclusivity in Speedway they'd pay more than lip service to it, if they were that interested in the development of Speedway in the lesser Speedway nations they should run proper qualifiers where Poland, Denmark, GB, Australia & Sweden etc are made to travel to the likes of Germany, France, Finland etc. etc. to compete in qualifying meetings, much like UEFA & FIFA do with Euro and World Cup qualification. You can't just have these teams turn up at the finals where they're sunk without a trace and virtue signal that you've included everybody, it's exactly what they do with SGP4... look at us developing the kids, they're that interested in the kids that the results from the SGP4 at Vojens are still "coming soon" on the website! At the moment the FIM really have got the worst of both worlds, they're not doing a proper development job and at the same time they're not pulling in the crowds either.
  9. While the woke FIM is putting inclusivity ahead of bums on seats they'll always be on a hiding to nothing
  10. Sports that think they're right and the fans are wrong tend not to do too well 🤔
  11. Well, if nobody bid to stage these events the FIM would have to rethink
  12. I think countries bid to stage the event don't they? So question back to Poland 🤔
  13. Competitively, this is like British Premiership Speedway but condensed into 1 meeting!
  14. Do they? It's tucked away on TNT9 for a reason and they should count themselves lucky with that!
  15. There's a lot of Brits in the crowd... we really will turn up and watch any old crap 💩 😂
  16. There's been bigger crowds at SGP. Practice/Qualifying sessions!
  17. ... and they're expecting to hold the SWC at Warsaw next year 😂😂😂
  18. The whole thing's a bit half arsed isn't it? The time starts when they close the pit gate! Come on! The camera is often on the wrong rider, with each rider seemingly just being shown for 15 seconds each before the camera cuts to the guy holding the red flag, it's so TV by numbers it's laughable. The clock showing how long is left in the session is unreadable. If they are going to do it they should at least attempt to do it properly and put some thought into it.
  19. The Sprint Races were only brought in to make the qualifying session watchable, which was fair enough imo because if there's Speedway on the Tv I'm going to watch it. The trouble is that the broadcast is that poorly put together it's barely worth watching and to just a sprinkling of people watching it live at the stadium is just embarassing!
