brandonbee48 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Based on the first 4 heats this could be tight all round. If i have to pick now, i'll go for Russia, but everyone on here knows what my predictions are like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Evening Alan, but is the more crucial question who will finish last? if so who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hands up, who thought Poland would be last at this stage and USA 2nd? I'd say we know it's going to change but I didn't expect it at this point. Time for the Polish engines to be changed?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hamill's second ride on top of his first may well have answered which team will finish last, but an honourable try by him to compete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer sam Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Dirty move by Fisher - chuck him out!! All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Whilst i think the 4 rider format is good for making the meetings more competitive, it's insane/inane lol to not have a reserve available. At least you could compromise and have the reserve only allowed to ride if another rider has to retire from the meeting through injury as opposed from being used for tactical rides.

brandonbee48 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 After 8 it is obviously helping to make it competitive that the Poles are weakened by the loss of Janus and Jarek. So far my vote for the Russkies looks good. Go Emil- unwanted at Brandon. Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Have the changed the track in Bydgoszzcxz? The first and second bend look too round and there's much more space on the safety zone than I remember. Have the changed the track in Bydgoszzcxz?

TwoMinuteWarning Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Whilst i think the 4 rider format is good for making the meetings more competitive, it's insane/inane lol to not have a reserve available. At least you could compromise and have the reserve only allowed to ride if another rider has to retire from the meeting through injury as opposed from being used for tactical rides. The last time that was tried, a few years ago in Leszno, 3 of the 4 teams had riders who became suddenly injured! It made a mockery of the whole thing. I would like to see 22-heat meetings, 5 riders per team, the number 5 having two scheduled rides against the other number 5's, and up to 3 rides maximum as a reserve for other riders in the team. P.S Love your minimax race cards! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer sam Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Agreed,how shocking it was of Fisher to make a good start and chase the dirt line. So causing all three other riders to fall is not an excluable offence? Who was to blame, if not Fisher? Fisher was the cause of the stoppage.

SCB Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Really feel for Billy Hamill I don't. It was always going to happen. More fool him for trying. Why haven't the Yanks replaced Hamill with Greg here? Exactly. You should always replace your worst rider with your best as a joker in the SWC. ALWAYS. Yet team managers seem clueless to this year after year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
