Leszno Gp 28th April 2012

CHRIS failed to score in three rides for his Polish club on Sunday ... really is in the doldrums at present. You are right about the timing cover.

 

If that is right , he needs to invest in some Mechanics who he can trust to do the job properly , Hardly worth investing £20k when this sort of things happens !

"Maybe all the aggro and hyped actions had something to do with the massive cans of Monster that were on free tap for the pits.

I think if I'd drunk even a can I would have jumped on a bike myself!"

She could not have done any worse than Chris and might even have bettered his score.

Speaking of Harris, did anyone notice why his bike failed on him the second time around?

 

if you watch the replay you can clearly see before it packed in that his timing cover was hanging off - when this departed from the engine it died.

 

I hope Harris kicked some serious arse for that, that's a huge failure on the mechanics part.

 

Then again I assume it was the mechanics who did it. We all know Gollob does his own timings during a meeting.

Is Courtney still one of his pit crew.Sounds like it. Edited by Fromafar

Cracking weekend, 7 of us went over, stayed in Poznan. Best GP I've attended for racing. Also we were pleased to help out the 3 guys from Eastbourne whose taxi broke down on the way from Poznan, otherwise they would have missed most of the meeting.

. However, bit early to declare Polish speedway to be on a slippery slope. Torun and Gorzow will be sell-outs and a GP in Warsaw next year is very much on the drawing board.

 

 

Not a bit early at all Phil. Crowds in Poland, for league racing have been falling for a few years now. It was once a relatively cheap day out for the Poles but now a league match, in real terms, is about the same as here and with the ongoing development in Poland the Poles are finding other things to spend their leisure dollar on. Their authorities made the same mistakes as here in believing you could afford a few lost fans by simply upping admission to the rest.

 

Polish speedway is not just on the slippery slope but a good way down it

wouldn't have happened if Ted was still his mechanic

"He thinks that he should be here....for me, Harris is a strange guy who produces zero and then is still surprised that it is going wrong"

 

This perfectly sumarises Harris' GP career. I used to like 'Bomber'; he's as an exciting rider on his day, but I think years of charity have made him delusional. There's having confidence in your ability and then there's being misguided.

 

The fact he's last in the series, having spent £20k on equipment, suggests he just isn't good enough any more, and his place, and the inevitable sponsorship opportunities that a place in the series brings, should go elsewhere in 2013.
