salty Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Rye are riding Saturday night in the PL. Have to win by 10+ to qualify for play offs. Doubt Len would have let Steve or Tai go. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't think Len should have a say in the matter. Country should come before club.

Bavarian Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Strong British Team, could be able to challenge the Poles today - I wouldn't be surprised to see them win. Even on a big quarter mile oval as is Abensberg. I don't think any of the Polish team riders have ridden this track before, but some of the Brits have, and Oakes knows it very well from previous visits. I hope our German boys can beat the Czechs for third place. I say: 1st GB, 2nd PL, 3rd GER, 4th CZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I hope our German boys can beat the Czechs for third place. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A lot depends on which Lubos turns up and which Wölbert is there today.Both have the ability to go through the meeting pretty well unbeaten,but also can end up with just a handfull of points.I hope Kevin gets it together over the winter and rethinks his idea of concentrating on Poland where he is getting very few heats.At this stage of his career,that isn't doing him much good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.N.T. Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Team GB have the U-18's British Champion on the sidelines, Daniel King is obviously struggling with his bikes and James Wright isnt exactly pulling up trees ! Why oh Why wasnt Tai tried out here ? Good effort by the team to lose by just 4 points in Poland, but it will be interesting to see why we didn't use a quality rider when he is there.

Sandie Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Well they wouldn't have known Danny was going to have an engine failure, so they couldn't legislate for that. Tai wasn't part of the main team so couldn't be used unless one of the others pulled out injured, which they didn't. And he just wasn't picked for the main team. I imagine James was included this time because it'll be his last U21 tournament. Tai will no doubt get the nod next year, providing he keeps his nationality. But you can't say Tai would have scored any better anyway. From the results it looks like a good effort from team GB who led for most of the way, but in the end the Poles just nicked it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Here here. Its always easy to be wise after the event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 (edited) Looks as though our captain and "no.1" let the team down in Germany. Very poor. Shame Oakes didn't tell Wright or King to feign an injury to get Tai in. Edited September 23, 2007 by Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Just for the record Tai wasnt in Germany today. Well unless he jumped over to Scunthorpe in the Interval when he was having a go on the training track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smartace Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Auty was the British reserve,but its a bloody long way to go just to sit on your tool-box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Was at the meeting today, meeting was won and lost on a chain snapping on Danny Kings bike. The boys all rode really well today and no one would have done any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
