Italian Gp Saturday 3rd August


Recommended Posts

Great to see Phil Rising still posting so close to the start.

And making it plain how more than capable he is at 'holding his own' here.

 

ALWAYS great to hear his opinions and his own personal views that he is entitled to express. I agree with the vast majority of his views but certainly not all.

 

Unfortunately not everyone on forums on the internet are capable of constructively penning a differing point of view or counter-argument to something. So sadly we end up wading through t i t-for-tat personal insults and attacks to see where the points and arguments (not as in rowing) are.

 

OK let's hope we have enough speedway incidents to talk about tonight, and i'll ignore the fact that Nige just said it's a decent crowd, errm not for a Grand Prix it isn't, the supposed height of a sport, stadium only holds 4,000 and it isn't full.

Welcome Alan, Not sure how many have decided to watch this on the telly, both forums are pretty quiet. It's a shame, i avidly watch any GP or any speedway on the tv.

 

Wow Hancock up against Covatti (1) Kasprzak (0) and Lindback (0) and ouch he didn't win! Oucheee he finished last!!!

 

Valiant attempt by Tai...if only speedway races consisted of five laps. Coming up Hampel against a pair of duck eggs here in Sayfutdinov and Gollob lol.

You would have thought at the start of the season it would be Zagar and not Gollob lining up in the 2014 Wild Card Beggar's Queue, not currently though!

 

Emil devours the Wheetabix. :lol:

 

Yeah as much as i cheer on and admire racers such as Tai, i got to admit i would prefer Emil to capture the crown.

 

I must say i do like that Eurosport give a recap of the previous four heats in each break.

Shows how dire the place is when Emil and Greg can't pass Covatti.

No disrespect to the lad as he is a decent rider but the place is a tomb when it comes to 'proper speedway'.

 

The crowd just about manages to qualify as such by definition but there were more people in my local ASDA this morning and nearly as many in my local library :)

 

I am a bit annoyed as I miss Krsko as I am in America for 3 weeks in September but manage to see this really dull excuse for a speedway meeting.

Hopefully we will never see this place again as a GP. :)

Does seem to be a bit of an increase this year of referees penalizing genuine good starts?

 

How awful no official spotted the tapes not going up on the left side. Hold on might be run again.

 

Yayyyy! re-run

In all seriousness... where do they get these referees from?

 

Pulling back a perfectly good start from Pedersen, then failing to spot the tapes going up lopsided as they did.

 

I was looking forward to the GP to get away from the farcical officials in the EL.. but sadly no, even at this level its amateurish.

 

Edited to add.. maybe they will redeem themselves to an extent by re-running..
