manchesterpaul Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Now Jack says defending champions Poland are out so there will be NEW European Pairs champions. Sigh! Edited March 28, 2014 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 It will be interesting to see what sort of crowd the 2nd and 3rd legs of this Invitational Pairs Challenge if despite all the hype and build up it could only half fill Torun. Now Jack says defending champions Poland are out so there will be NEW European Pairs champions. Sigh! It's the OneSport spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secsy1 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Well even before the final I must take exception to the commentary of Jack whoever. Don't get me wrong, it is superb that the coverage is given, but who is this sexist? Continually giving sexist comments about the start girls and giving commentary on a different race that is going on, don't start on the knowledge reference also. Anyone who ever complained about Skysports presenters or commentary must be livid about this person. Incidentally the racing was poor and very little passing, much gate and go and occasional mistake by trying too hard by several riders.

FrankThePug Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Fair play to these guys it's taken all night but they've finally figured out the rules in the last race.

manchesterpaul Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Very, very pleased with that win for Holder and Ward and now that they've got the Polish round out of the way surely they are now favourites? Not sure Darcy intended that sudden spurt forward though lol. Edited March 28, 2014 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonbee48 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Good final. Thanks for the company folks. Still a bloody freezing USA with more snow forecast for tonight, so a very enjoyable way to pass a Friday afternoon. Till the next time. Best wishes to all. Alan.

That they looked nice? You might not be aware, that's their job. Edited March 28, 2014 by BWitcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Nickis gone soft leaving such a big gap! Not sure Darcy intended that sudden spurt forward though lol.Tut tut - I thought talk of Darcys sudden spurts were banned on this forum! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Some pretty good racing but it's quit clear that many of the riders does not really understand the team concept and just ride for themselves rather proper team riding. Latvia, Miedzinski and Jonsson were disppointments but Smolinski rode very well and Lindbäck seems to have found his 2012 form again.

That's a thought as the BSPA have refused British riders permission to participate (i think), or at least their team not be allowed to use a guest? Not sure someone else will likely know for sure.

Ok i'm off out for the night i thought it was a enjoyable meeting just a shame so many fans did not turn up, although i guess that's due to it being televised.
