  1. Personally I'd like to see a World Cup run every year but maybe mix the format up a bit, 1 year WTC (4 riders 1 reserve), 1 year SoN (2 riders 1 reserve) and 1 year Full 18 heat 8 man test matches. I think they had the SWC about right in the early days when it was all held in 1 country, giving the media a chance to get behind it. Obviously the Poles don't need the media attention. I think mixing the formats up may also mix the winners up.
  2. I don't think there's one recipe to build a great rider is there... Or else everybody would do it and be great
  3. Is it just me or is this behaviour just beyond bizarre... I genuinely think this guy needs help. Does anybody on this forum actually know BWitcher in person? Because I think you need to carry out an intervention. I can't make up my mind whether he's a bully or mentally ill, maybe a bit of both. PLEASE! this guy needs your help. BWitcher I plead with you, please go see a doctor... when the NHS reopens of course
  4. I've not noticed this, I'll keep an eye out for that. I wonder why though, surely you spell your name how you spell your name. It's a bit like in Eurovision when France refer to Britain as Grande Bretagne or Germany as Allemagne. If Germany call themselves Germany they should be referred to as Germany... although don't they refer to themselves as Deutschland? I'm confused
  5. No, none at all... You? Thanks for asking though
  6. Not for me obvs... but some people may find it helpful https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00YZKUX3A
  7. Pedersen has beef with everybody doesn't he? Even his own pit crew Also, unrelated... Why is Lindback, Lindbaeck in Poland... surely his name is his name? ... And I predict a bog roll shortage soon in Poland
  8. I disagree... I think all these things build a rider, they don't just suddenly become good overnight due to luck. There would be many factors involved in Doyle and Madsen becoming world class. Dedication, sacrifice and mental strength appear to be big deciders on whether a rider is going to "make it"
  9. Sounds like you and "Webbo" had the balls to meet up
  10. To see if what he posts on here he'd say to my face? Nothing schoolboy about it at all, just common decency... I've been called a cretin, an idiot & stupid by this bully and the sick comments about the death of my father... But if you want to stick up for the bully and join in with the name calling that's your choice. Just take a look back through his posts to see what an aggressive bully he is to a lot of people
  11. There is no argument... you only have to look at his posts to see the guy is just a bully, he's posted some pretty vile things in reply to me, especially regarding the death of my father. I don't want him replying to or even reading my posts. I've offered to meet him face to face... of course he didn't reply to that!
  12. Yeah I went the once, really enjoyed it and the thing I remember about it the most was that they had a type of "Briggo Wonder Wheel" years before Briggo came up with the idea. Wasn't the track at the A66/A19 intersection?
  13. A lot of things there you just don't see anymore, Middlesbrough for one, touring foreign teams, riders sharing a fag in the pits and most missed of all, by me, a rider wearing a neckerchief!
  14. Don't mention the war... I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it
  15. You could always up sticks and move to the US, Brazil, Mexico or India
  16. Agreed, possibly shows a lack of really wanting it which may explain why he's challenging Leigh Adams for title of best rider never to win.
  17. But then he was riding mostly in the Tony Rick Jason Crump era, throw in Nicki P and Mr G in Poland and it's more understandable
  18. I think Leigh just edges it still for me... but that could change at the end of the season
  19. GP Finals: Leigh Emil Finals 26 23 1st 8 7 2nd 3 4 3rd 5 7 4th 10 5
  20. As I've little else to do with my time at the moment I did some analysis between Leigh vs Emil and although it's difficult to compare the 2 because of Emil's sabbatical here are the stats: Best Finish: Leigh Emil 15 10 11 7 3 6 15 5 6 4 5 4 6 4 1 SEC 3 1 SEC 5 7 SEC 2 6 6 8 11 3
  21. Looks like he's been talent spotted already then, they're not in the Ekstaliga are they? Has he ridden for them yet?
  22. I can't remember being so impressed by a rider I've seen for the first time for a long time... be interesting to see how he goes away from Masarna
