tellboy Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Doing a bit of a road trip for this one,then getting back for Newport on Sunday. Is the any cashpoint machines near the stadium anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Poland i think are fairly certain,bar a disaster or two of winning this.The other places should,i hope be open.This is GB's best chance for ages of gaining a medal and if they all race to their full potential and a bit better then second place is a possibility.Not a great one mind,but there is a chance.Can't really see Bjerre going through the night without a race win or two on saturday though.But sadly Denmark and Sweden have fallen back a bit and Poland are probably stronger,so there is a gap.Denmark will miss Nicki and they don't in the short term look to have riders that will step up.As much as i have been a fan of Nicolai and Patrick i can't see them and the cheater being big players on the world stage in the next few years.Sweden also don't look to have anyone coming through in the short term......could be a few years of seeing the white eagle with the Fundin trophy.But surprises always seem to happen in speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritPete Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I think that Poland and Sweden are stronger than Denmark are, but the track will be so slick it won't matter so much. I wonder if team GB can get their gating boots on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy den boy Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 JUST wondered if anyone knows do they still have complete track covers at Vojens and if they are still used why couldnt they prepare the track 3 or 4 days in advance.That way just cant blame the weather and the track wouldnt be super slick.

Think we have had this debate before and by doing that the track sweats and causes other problems.But i am no expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner47 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Seems like the Brits will be dead chuffed with a medal, unlike the Danes and Swedes who are there to win. If the poles have a big lead, will the scandinavians take it easy? As Hans said last night "being 2nd is the 1st loser". The Brits dont have that attitude, 3rd would be a massive achievement for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Vojens is the only track I think that has purpose designed track covers, they had them specially made last year, cost about £20,000 apparently. Can't just put loads of dirt down though covered up with no watering as would just be load of dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brits dont have that attitude, 3rd would be a massive achievement for them. When you refer to Brits I wonder if you mean the team, from what I saw and heard last night they were upbeat and confident, they all seemed relaxed considering they are in unknown territory. Whatever their mentality I was impressed with how they all came across. If they ride tomorrow with the same passion that was so obvious at Kings Lynn then I will be happy, if that in turn leads to a rostrum place I will be even happier. If that's what you call settling for less then so be it. Any sport is/should be about passion for the game, to do the best you can is all anyone can ask, I love my country and I will support any of our sportsmen/women that are prepared to give it their all for the cause.

The race off was held on Thursday Night,Team GB and Poland practice there today,(according to Sky )that really only leaves what is left of today after practice and tomorrow to prepare the track. Then for the event itself the track will ride completely different than today's practice and maybe even Thursday nights meeting. Maybe the Poles will have more trouble with the track than people think,to much power = to much wheel spin on Ole's super slick tracks. I'm going for Sweden to win it with the Danes Second Poland third and Team GB not far of Poland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue will win anyway - they always do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I think its all about the track,if its like it was last night then that rules GB out IMO.It gets down to a gating competition and that favours the Poles,its then a toss up between the other 2 as who comes 2nd and 3rd. However if the track is grippy then I think GB are well capable of coming in the top 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Brits could be behind from very early on looking at the gate draws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
