World Cup Race Off 12 July


Recommended Posts

The Danes will walk it with relative ease. We'll finish 3rd but at some point string together 4 or 5 good heats and everyone will think we'll qualify before reality sets in again.

 

Obviously I hope we win by 20 points, i just can't see it sadly :(

Hope Denmark do it for the reason that it would be reward for their youth policy and it is great seeing their kids take on the world.Hope Scott + the others give a good account of themselves and also the ref is not noticed.

How do you guys see this going tomorrow?

 

I reckon it will be between us and Denmark and that we could sneak it and get in the final.

Are you a Pole?? :wink:

 

Not sure what the Danes' team is yet but reckon it will be a close call between the Danes and Poles, with GB a stubborn 3rd.

If the Danes bring in Nicki Pedersen then they will go thru, personally I think the experience of the GB Team will be enough. The other thing to consider of course is does any of the riders on show have this as there "home" track ? ... this could change things concerning set-ups for team mates etc. Made me laugh with Pearson saying this is a "horsepower" track, and your telling me Kings Lynn is not .. or did he just mean its a gaters paradise.Come on England !

Watched a meeting on premier plus couple of weeks back and Micheal jepsen jepsen was awesome beating holder , hancock , jonsson , lindgren with total ease was miles in front in a couple of heats and as this is his home track the danes for me will be hot favourites IMO !! Weather permitting of course :o

I hope they prove me wrong but I just cant see GB doing it........ at this level they have to be riding at their very best to even be in with a shout and rely on the other teams not getting into top gear....... the odds are against it.............

 

With Andersen & Bjerre in the team the Danes would do very well at Malilla...... but there are question marks over their youngsters .... this year at least

 

So for me its the Poles' night to lose................and if the going gets tough they always have those 'special engines' they can pull out the back of the vans ;)

It's difficult to predict this one with so many variables such as the condition of the track, the weather during the meeting and the vulnerabilities of four man teams. The GB boys will certainly be giving it their all. I think their gating consistency may let them down but here's hoping, everyone's beatable!

The smart money is on 3rd but if the lads ride with the determination they showed on Monday and they can keep the gremlins at bay then who knows.

There is nobody in the Polish and Denmark teams that is unbeatable.

As long as they go down battling I will give them credit for trying.

Let them know that we were there :) :)

Andersen and Bjerre have been terrible this season, Madsen and Michael have outperformed them by a country mile in the leagues and you want the Danes to take Andersen and Bjerre?

 

Danes will win, Niels,Nicki and Michael all go good around Dackarna and Madsen is not a bad 4th rider.

The Danes may be favourites for the Race-Off.

 

But I remember Australia in 1976, Denmark in 1978 and New Zealand in 1979 so why shouldn't we believe that we could make it to the final, and hopefully win it. We pushed the so-called favourites for the competition on Monday night. And if we had just a little bit of luck on Monday we would be in the final now.

We had plenty of luck, Ward didn't ride.

We are not good enough, Simple.

If they put some dirt down like there was monday and we ride above ourselves like we did monday then we have a chance,i love the way they all rode monday showed that we can match anybody.On paper Denmark are clear favourites but all the teams can win races which will help us,impressed with Ales Dryml on monday no wonder he won the gp qualifier.
