Snyper1010 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I really dont understand people shouting about englands chances. If you match up the teams rider for rider and look at EL, Polish and Swedish scores. Plus GP records etc you will see that the England team stand out as a bunch of amateurs in the grand scheme of things. No this is not "anti English" remarks its my obsevation of the competition they are up against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rami Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Why do you have go on about having to win it all the time ? no shame in trying to come second or third and no reason why we should not try to do it . Do your best at all times . I agree 100% and thats why both Rico and Scott should be in the team, the best 5 british riders today not in 3 years time!

Gemini Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Seems sensible to see who of your squad is riding the track the best at practice and then name them in a team after that. On the other hand Ed Kennett was supposed to have looked really fast in the practice on Monday, but then look what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWEDEN (yellow): Antonio Lindback, David Ruud, Fredrik Lindgren, Jonas Davidsson, Andreas Jonsson. Lyon got it wrong here. I think if we really wanted a chance of qualifying for the final then Scotty should have been included and probably Lewis/Tai the casualty...poss Lewis as Tai does ride well in Poland better than the UK. To be honest no-one can deny Danny his hurrah based on his Peterborough heroics but I think he will struggle tonight. I hope that I am proven wrong as I am passionate as anyone about GB doing well. At the end of the day the saying 'horses for courses' came about long before speedway bikes were invented. If you look at Speedway Star for Polish/Swedish results Scotty is clearly getting back towards his best. People have short memories of those confidence winning GP rides in the last two meetings and his league form is definately on the up. He is still not a finished rider and whatever anyone says I would almost like to take a wager that he is British Champion again next year. The bloke has taken a kicking for a tactical decision to give it his best shot in the GP's this year, got off to a dreadful confidence sapping start, ate humble pie and came back again more so than what Lyon has done by ignoring all of the aforementioned pointers of his form returning.

Finishing order = AUS SWE DEN GBR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyper1010 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I dont fancy team gb's chances full stop. Im just hoping Hans is feeling 100% fit. As for the inclusion of Scott. I dont see what team gb fans are expecting him to bring to the table. He is seriously lacking in the GPs his league form on the continent hasnt been world class and his morale is rock bottom. That is the last person you want in your pits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Looking at the race card, I think it will be really close for the 2nd spot. If we can pull off a “backs to the wall” performance then we could sneak it. Heats 13 and 20 are the decisive heat for us and we need to ensure the Joker is not squandered. Whatever happens it will be the meeting of the year, real edge of your seat job. Can’t wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witchesfan Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Don't think Rob Lyon's had any choice in the matter as Scotty didn't even go to Poland and didn't want to ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happens it will be the meeting of the year, real edge of your seat job. Can’t wait. I am inclined to agree in a perverse sort of way. However, Although I am not a great fan of Scotty, I just think we might have had an outside chance of runners up after looking at the race card. In fact I think we still would have an outside chance if we left out Rico for Scotty! I cant wait for it, I have been worked up for it since Monday and it should be a fantastic Meeting....

Ron Butler Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 2nd spot up for grabs my a**e. Aus and Sweden will qualify comfortably with GB battling it out with Denmark for the evening's wooden spoon. No question. Absolutely. Please be advised, sir, that I have no interest whatsoever in grabbing that part of your anatomy! No question - absolutely none! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
