ladyluck Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Flemming Gravesen GM I believe. His engines were measured in previous rounds and found to be way under size..... It could be said that Holta is somewhat undersize. There isn't a great deal to him, but he has a big heart, as is evidenced by his continual presence in the top eight year-on-year. It's good to see him finally having a "big" season. He could yet make the podium in the world championship. It really could be Poland's year.

nw42 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Thanks for the link , only missed heat 20 .would have missed it all but for you . You are welcome Dornier, as it happens the quality of the stream tonight was a little inferior to the usual but as I said earlier it's free, beggars can't be choosers eh. Glad you were able to catch it, I noticed he is showing a Polish meeting tomorrow too, not sure which it will be, obviously the commentary will not be English but then again some of Nigel Pearsons rantings don't make a lot of sense, so no change there really. From some of the comments I have seen it appears quite a few are getting ready to ditch their subscriptions to Virgin/Sky etc, got to say if they are messing people around the only way they will sort it is if they see their profits affected. Just like all the other technology providers they don't seem to care about keeping their customers happy, all the emphasis is on grabbing new clientelle, to me the golden rule should be to protect what you already have in the way of customers and the rest will take care of itself, still, what do I know.

scotty2hotty Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Idiotic move by Gollob, looks an angry man. Perhaps his off track problems are getting to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if that bit of lift he got meant that he couldn't pass Emil as tight/wasn't then on as tighter line, as he hoped, hence the clash?

Jez Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Looks like Gollob managed to not loose too many screws from up top with that absolute stupid move on bend 3 with Emil. Hope that Emil is OK and back racing soon, would rather watch exciting riders like him (nevermind the references to chasing back wheels yawn!)than riders who gate and win, don't gate and finish at the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviresco Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Gollob believing he's invincible when in fact he's just dangerous. Should be excluded from the whole meeting for that unnecessary and stupid move. As far as I'm aware there is no such rule in speedway, but I'd be happy to be told otherwise. Gollob could've finished his own World Championship hopes in that move, but it does appear that he doesn't like the Russian for some reason - doubt if it is political history but do remember a couple of incidents last season between the two of them. I do hope it was not deliberate as that would tarnish the title if Gollob is to win it at last and I really did think he had rid himself of these mental aberrations. I am TG's biggest fan when it comes to riding a speedway bike, but this does have me shaking my head again. Well done to Rune - 4th in the Championship is quite an achievement and a strange looking top 8 after this GP, but that is not a bad thing. A couple of seasons ago people were telling me that Nicki would rule the world for a number of years with his attitude and back up team. Where has it all gone?

Nicki has lost his biggest sponsor (Fionia bank) due to the credit crunch and seems to have lost his hunger. Still, 3 World Championships leave him as one of the sports greats. I would love to think he has one more big season left in him but sadly I can't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure about the GPs, but certainly there have been examples of riders being thrown out of league meetings, both over here and in Poland. I think Zetterstrom was thrown out of a meeting at Newcastle a few year's ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Emil's broken his wrist, confirmed by his manager. Bydgoszcz are f..ked. Courtesy of Mr Gollob,.... Nice one Tomasz...!! Tomasz blew his own night with that stupid move !!! I actually would have credited him with more experience and sense before tonight...Idiot move!!! As for the rest, blimey it was a cracker, some seriously hard racing, loved it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 No the first 7 heats were boring. Boring? What meeting did You watch then? The Thriller in Malilla was excellent speedway racing from start to finish. I have rarely seen a better and more entertaining meeting. The Gp series this year is phantastic, the best it has ever been, and everyone seems to be able to beat everyone out there. The tracks are excellent, too. Seems Tony Olsson is the right man as race director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Gollob move reminded me so much of Hackney 1995, when Boyce floored him with a right hook. Same stupid riding by Gollob. Perhaps his nerves begin to come into play again, as the title is on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B52 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 spot on! This Gollob move reminded me so much of Hackney 1995, when Boyce floored him with a right hook. Same stupid riding by Gollob. Perhaps his nerves begin to come into play again, as the title is on the horizon. Every GP Gollob leads the way on the excitement levels, pass after pass - usually perfectly executed and dramatic.....exactly what every punter wants to see! Tonight he times one wrong and knocks a rider off, gets excluded - whats the problem? Glad to see it didn't affect his attitude when he passed Crump & Lindgren and then Lingdren again in the final. 5 points clear, the dream is drawing closer. On a side note - really gutted for Bydgoszcz and the troops! Hopefully some kind of minor miracle can happen to keep them up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) I didn't say the meeting was boring, just the first 7 heats were a bit boring, it did liven up though, thats just my opinion Each to their own Noggin It was a difficult nights viewing for me..13 and 15 yr old nephews who are VERY loud, aren't conducive to good viewing..Luckily, we've got it on record later, so I can hear what was said too Back to the meeting. Mr Gollob showed us he isn't as hard and self assured as he'd like us to believe. He was worried about Sayfutdinov... big time! Edit: the red button viewing was like watching an old tv with no signal... I pay for 2010 HD viewing, not 1950s rubbish .....bah humbug LOL Edited August 14, 2010 by Jacques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mateusz Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) Obviously it was Gollob's mistake (he doesn't make many but this time he made a mistake, unfortunately) but his front wheel bumped a bit and he didn't do it on purpose. Such things happen. Some riders cause crashes involving their rivals frequently (like Pedersen) some other ones do it rarely (Gollob and a few others) but nobody's perfect. It's just a huge SHAME it was Emil who had to suffer this time Edited August 14, 2010 by Mateusz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollob was a bit naughty, although he picked up some extra drive which made the clash inevitable, gutted for emil though if he's out so soon after returning.
