Well i dont HIDE BEHIND A FALSE NAME LIKE TRICKY DICKY HA HA HA HA I give my opinions and if you don't like em, tough for you pal.

For the 100th GP i thought it was dreadful. Track was a disgrace. As soon as you moved off line end of story [ except for Holta in the one decent outside pass ] When even Gollob can't do it then ?........ So to sum up. Congratulations AJ, wanted Hancock to win it but had a feeling before the final he would be second. Holta earned his place next year, riding in pain, won the run off fair and square, unlike dirty Nicholls, one rider who's done NOTHING to earn a place next year, show me why he should be in [ on merit ] Nice to see Nicki Pedersen taking the time to wave to all the fans after he went out of the semi. Hope Crump is back next year and Gollob, Hancock and Harris [ if he's in ] all have a great GP year.

Limelight for WHAT ? The blonde pit person ??? He's nothing but a choker.

Correct. Snidey move from a snidey bloke.

Some observations on tonight. 1,Eastern European women are so damn hot looking 2,The camera'persons' are happy to show the attractive ladies in the crowd, unlike in this uptight politically correct western european country 3,Nicki P would be prepared to run over somebody [ maybe even his granny ] to get where he wants to 4,Maybe the track prep was a bit iffy,a tad dry the track, but it produced some good racing, can't say that about some GP tracks such as Prague 5,Not exactly a Hans Andersen fan, but hope he's ok tonight. Two very nasty looking bangs on the head and it looked liked he had some double vision or eye problems in the pits after his last race. 6,Air fence did it's job again tonight too, the sooner they are installed at every track the better for everyone 7,Nicki P has it sewn up now barring some bad luck

If i was looking to go to a GP next year Seb it would have to be Leszno. Wide,a bit of banking and a track you can race side by side on.

Bet any new viewers were confused if they noticed the Norwegian flag on the graphics when they interviewed him and the Polish flag on the graphics when they gave the race results

Think this says a hell of a lot. I can't blame your friend because if that was my first taste of Speedway i'd probably not bother again. When Speedway is good and track prep is excellent we get meetings like in the recent World Cup, all too often recently especially in the GP's for some reason the tracks have been poor or downright dangerous. Now, heads out of the sand time.......why isn't speedway catching on or delivering the crowd figures we thought it would and should after all the Sky tv interest ?????? Too many Pragues ?????? p.s And one other footnote we can't blame a temporary track here. If it was a man made temp track everyone would say that was the reason for the ruts and track cutting up. I think it comes down to someone didnt do their job right, but who, Olsen, track staff ??? Guess we'll never find out and we'll all just carry on.

Ok sorry Iris i didnt know you meant about the other thread, my bad ! Rob sorry i have to disagree,if there hadnt been deep ruts he wouldn't have crashed. In the interview his mechanic almost said the track was a disgrace but held back from it. Theres plenty of people on here doing that now anyway. Now people will say ' his bike is set up too stiff ' because they heard Billy and Sam say it, but the fact is that track played a MASSIVE part in his crash. I just cant abide watching speedway trying to be played out on tracks that have no right to be called race tracks.

To be totally honest i couldn't care less WHO won the meeting because it was THAT BAD. By about Heat 10 i was just wishing it would end. I couldn't even get bothered by the fact we had a Brit in the final. I think there should be serious questions asked by the authorities why we had such a diabolical track which no mistake about it caused the broken shoulder to Andreas Jonsson. I would go so far as to say they shouldnt even have a GP at Prague next year. To the Nicki Pedersen fans like Iris asking why we are not saying ' well done !!! ' enough, well i think plenty of people are, BUT it also goes to show that some people will put up with any crock of $*!t as long as their man wins. Sorry thats not speedway for me.

Well that was pretty dire. The track was an absolute disgrace for a major event.

Well i tend to agree with your fellow Pirate Steve Shovlar when he says ' What goes around, comes around' How true this saying is. How ironic it should be Scott Nicholls in Heat 25 and that it was the Danes who needed it this time and a certain Mr Andersen. That last heat was.....................perfect

Poland didn't cheat. Thats unless you live in the surreal world of a certain Hans Andersen. Nice one coming from him after 2004 anyway. As i said in the thread on the meeting, its the rule that is the problem. Oh well.... he made me laugh anyway

Fantastic Speedway, fantastic atmosphere that even came across on tv. Leszno has to be one of the best tracks in the whole world, maybe the best. I'm glad the GP will be there in 2008 and 2009. Congratulations Poland, i thought they deserved to win. One or two points. The comments on here about Walasek. This is 100% typical of Speedway or more to the point the authorities that make the rules. A crazy rule left open to either 1. Abuse or 2. Chinese whispers and gripes by the rest. Which is nearest the truth tonight doesn't matter. They HAVE to change this rule. Let any reserve come in after Heat 5 for any out of form rider.What's so wrong with that ? The way the rule is now it just courts controversy, or maybe thats what some in power want as it gets people talking, creates a buzz. I don't know why GB were so bad tonight. They were abysmal. 99% of the time as a nation we dont seem to be able to adapt and ride to the track or conditions like most other nations. We heard Nicki Pedersen talking about telling Bjarne the lines and the other nations seemed dialled in to it while the GB boys were floundering going out wide on turn 4 and getting passed easily. By about heat 18 they were finally getting it !!! I'm not a fan of the Danes, or two of them really to be honest , lol. But tonight i thought they showed great intelligence and rode with their heads. No last places i think ? I thought with 7 heats to go they had it won. That they didnt is soley down to the way Poland rode. They pulled it out of the fire and rode with swashbuckling guts and determination. Andersens comments were sour grapes but just what to expect from him. Nice to see Gollob be the one to finish it too towards the end of his career, he's given us all so many great races over the years. Again well done Polska !!!

Without reading any posts yet [ sorry got to be up for work early in morning ], that was rubbish. At a time when we need to be showing people it ISNT always first out of the gate wins, such as the Cardiff GP. Then this tripe comes along. That track was so bad it was untrue, and Hans Andersen has the gaul to criticise British track prep this week ? Ha !! It was predictable that it would be prepared slick for the Danes but if you went out 8 feet from the kerb you got passed on the inside. And as for Andersens comments ' it's the same for everyone ' Well we may as well ride on cheese, or chocolate, or marbles, or tarmac after all ' it's the same for everyone ' For god's sake give us a track we can watch RACING on. I think Sam Ermolenko was even ' cheesed off ' with it and i found it all boring tbh. P.S Oh and one more thought i had afterwards. Why the hell has the ELRC been taken off Sheffield then for no air fence when we had no air fence tonight ???? Once again Politics being played out in the BSPA
