brandonbee48 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) http://www.ltv.lv/lv...-zinjas.a17011/ Beginning in the 3.00 Riga Bikernieki stadium view at this time. Sorry. program in the Latvian language but can be heard Olsson speech about Riga GP prospects Great to watch this. Fantastic old video- where on earth did they dig that up from? I think they also need to show the sport as it is today too.. The only thing i could hear Ole say, over the voiceover, was "needs a lot of work". Still, that's what dreams are made of, and i hope they can succeed in getting the funding together. Also it is fascinating to see how we live in a global sports village today, with a lot of the same clips shown as on sportscasts here (USA) and the toothpaste ads that make it all possible. Thank you for putting this up and good luck. I'll be watching a stream tomorrow. Alan. Edited August 16, 2013 by brandonbee48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportscompiler Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Would it be permissable to post a link to a betting blog with a price guide for all of tomorrow´s heats? When the bookmaker prices come out there will be a follow up piece suggesting the best bets. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportscompiler Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 How do you expect this track to ride? Is a bias likely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 FOR the first time that I can recall, Tomasz Gollob pulled out of practice this evening after just three of his six runs. No sign of any injury, just apathy. No doubt he will go out and blitz the field tomorrow... Nothing else out of the ordinary today but Emil Sayfutdinov, riding different lines to most, looked very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else out of the ordinary today but Emil Sayfutdinov, riding different lines to most, looked very good. Gollob did the same in Gdansk (first SEC round). On a slick track he is always able to find good setup straight away (actually this days he can only be true himself on a slick tracks, any grip or bumps and no Gollob which is sad). Was is typical Daugavpils ultra slick track during practice? You say Emil tried different lines. Interesting. In last few meetings including Terenzano and Togliatti he was pretty slow and I believe his bikes are better when there is a little bit more grip. IMO the slicker the better for Tai at this stage of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandorum Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I would guess though that Emil knows the track better though compared to Tai? Last year I think that would have mattered but Tai in 2013 is a different proposition. Look at how he perfromed in Russia on a track he did not know. Either of those guys for me to be champion. I think Emil has the edge due to his paying his dues in SGP. Tai's time will come but he has to be able to repeat this year in 2014 and beyond. He has the credentials to be world champ and has proved all of us doubters wrong this year. Good luck to both lads today and may the best man come out on top 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandonbee48 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Hi all, Emil has the better non-tattoos but other than that i don't mind if he or Tai are top of the podium Alan. Emil just looks so sluggish these days. Guys swooping by him and that never used to happen. Needs to borrow Greg's bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw42 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) Lucky lad there Tai, I'm glad the ref used his discretion and didn't rob us of a potentially good race. That rerun produced one of the most intelligent first corners I've seen, brilliant. Edited August 17, 2013 by nw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandonbee48 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Emil secretly swapped bikes with Greg for heat 12. Those start line girls are the best of the season Been a good GP so far, Lebedev showing his real potential The Czestochowa girls on Thursday were easily the most oomphy. Mind you, at my age, none of them care what i think. Good meeting so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandonbee48 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Fantastic ride by Niels. Emil rode like a plonker. Latvia and Russia 1-2 in the World Team Cup next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Tatum's remark, "Hampel is an understated rider, kind of goes under the radar" can be translated to "Hampel is a boring<removed>". This kind of venue, full time track, 10-15,000 capacity, is where the Grand Prix is at it's best in my opinion. I'd far rather watch Mallilla at full capacity, than Ullevi, for example. JT. PS. That isn't to say I don't like Cardiff, that's slightly different (with 40,000+ crowds year after year). I can understand the desire and ambition to take speedway to bigger venues, but watching 5,000 watch the Swedish GP in a venue as huge as Ullevi is depressing, in my opinion. Work your way up to the bigger venues, by building up excitement on purpose built tracks and advancing from there. JT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratton Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Those start line girls are the best of the season Been a good GP so far, Lebedev showing his real potential Lebedev does look a prospect quick i thought Woffinden was very lucky to stay in there race. Can't remember who it was but some forum member said he Lebedev was a waste of space. A nice tidy style hopefully on his own aquipment he can come back again for the Lynn in the future.

brandonbee48 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 KK riding like a true GP Bee in the Harris tradition. Pressure has definitely got to Emil. Tai's for the taking right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 A bit early maybe but I thinks it pretty certain now that Tai will take the title. Imo Emil's problem is the lack of speed, especially on slick tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
