pugwash Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Re the SKY commentary, just HOW MANY times did they mention Darcy?? OTT or what!! Â Ott!! You bet. Pearson when waxing lyrical about Jonas Davidsson after a heat win mentioned that his brother was a World Class Rider. Â Â Â How many brothers does he have??

mrss Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 so does anyone actually know russias lineup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryW Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) so does anyone actually know russias lineup? Currently their team is:  1. Roman Povazhny 2. Sergei Darkin 3. 4. Renat Gafurov 5. Ilya Bondarenko  If they don't add a 5th man then the first race for number 3 will be a three rider race then after that they will be able to use tacticals to fill any gaps, as we can be pretty sure they will be 6+ down Edited July 10, 2011 by HenryW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIE-JA Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 so does anyone actually know russias lineup? Unsure of riding order but the team is Povazny, Darkin, Bonderenko and Gafurov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary moore Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I don't understand why people get so irate with the commentary. I enjoy it, they make mistakes but all commentators do. I'm just happy to watch Speedway on sky. Â Â Good for you then. I pay good money to see a professionaly presented TV programme,not a pair of idiots shouting and repeating themselves!!

brandonbee48 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Unsure of riding order but the team is Povazny, Darkin, Bonderenko and Gafurov. And the "official" site still shows RUSSIA Federation: MFR 1. Roman Povazhny (Capt) Team Manager: Andrey Savin 2. Artem Laguta 3. Emil Sayfutdinov 4. Renat Gafurov 5. Grigory Laguta Only in speedway!

Star Lady Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 That's all the go on about is ward it's well over the top we all know ward is a good rider we all know that but tatum and Pearson don't need to bang on about it all meeting  I'd have to argue that they spent far too much time telling us how bloody wonderful the covers were? It got so bad I'm begining to wonder if either or both have shares in a tarpaulin company! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Louis must have missed out as he stated tracks sweat and they're a bad idea as we were all watching dust fly. The one time Chris Louis has an opinion he's made to look stupid by what we're watching on our screens!

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Like others, hugely disappointed by the calamities that have befallen the Russuan team but one question... There's this revised line-up of four riders and a fifth place to be filled. As there seems (and I've no idea why it's an issue - seems to me Russian sportsmen travelling here should be a totally straightforward matter...) to be this visa issue, surely the ONLY person who could fill that fifth spot is Sayfutdinov... So are we definitely facing the prospect of a one man short team in this most important of meetings..? For the life of me I just can't fathom how a young rider like Sayfutdinov can opt out of this.. And certainly if he does he MUST be banned from the next meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
