topsoil Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Enjoyed the meeting tonight, even if the track was a bit slick, but understandable, given that rain was forecast, so it made sense not to put a whole lot of dirt on the track. Great to see riders of that standard, despite all the hardship caused by Saturday I would definitely like to see more FIM meetings at Berwick in the future. If it had been a fine day on Saturday all would have passed off okay. Great to see David through to the next round, but will miss him for the Redcar match. Good crowd as well for a Monday night.

screm Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Decent meeting, infront of a very impressive Monday night crowd. Passing was at a premium on an ultra slick track, Sundstrum was a worthy winner, good to see Bellego going through to the next round though this will mean he misses our meeting with Redcar. MJJ hasn't qualified for the GP qualifiers next round so that's a big bonus for the Bee's. As you posted yesterday, form is temporary class is permanent.

Midland Red Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 It is the EL league sides that are coming off the worst it in. It would be such a shame With the posibility of 7 riders missing from one race. They will be very hard going for the teams to cover these places. 7 riders missing from one race? Perhaps we should go back to the good old days, with just four riders in a race!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Good to see Linus getting the win, hopefully he can kick on from here..Looked superb deserving winner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 The next meetings are on Saturday 21st in Poland and Croatia. Hopefully, the riders will be able to fly out on Saturday morning but its a big ask. It would be a real shame if this meeting, one of the highlights of the season, turns into a watered-down farce. Surprised this hasn't been allocated as a Sky meeting. Sky have no meeting scheduled for w/c 23rd June. Perhaps we can hope this will be televised on Sky instead and moved to the Monday. Depends when the practice is. It might be Friday and even then depends, if it is Saturday practice, at what time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Depends when the practice is. It might be Friday and even then depends, if it is Saturday practice, at what time. One of the practices is 10am, the other meeting its 1pm so guess it may depend on the draw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Will Berwick be allowed a guest for Bellego? No. R/R (unless 2 or more of the 1-5 are missing). Only allowed a guest for ACU riders in FIM meetings. Edited June 10, 2014 by Steve Park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch Me If You Can Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Looked superb deserving winner. He was indeed. Despite slicker conditions that norm at Berwick (no doubt wary of the weather) this was very enjoyable. Fast racing with many races featuring the riders being very close together and a usual Berwick neat and professional presentation. The stadium looked good again as did the football pitch. I saw the Jury President checking out the grass at one point, he must have been impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Interesting document from the Polish extraleague authorities dated Saturday 7th June -amongst which it states that the Polish league matches between Tarnow v Wroclaw andTorun v Leszno will be postponed if the Berwick staged GP qualifier is rained off and re-staged on Sunday 8th. It also lists the matches that would be called off if the Ljubljania meeting was delayed from Saturday to Sunday. I think this proves that even the polish league authorities didn`t know that the 1st rain-off date at Berwick was spurious. http://speedwayekstraliga.pl/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Komunikat-Enea-Ekstraligi-nr-16_2014.pdf Edited June 10, 2014 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Kelly 41 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) One of the practices is 10am, the other meeting its 1pm so guess it may depend on the draw Practice was not mandatory at Berwick on Saturday, riders could do it or not. If not practising, they didn't have to sign in until 5pm. Riders don't even have to attend practice for GPs. The Friday 20th meetings at Coventry, Lakeside and Edinburgh, all with qualified riders, will be fine.

severnsider Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Who will be the two seeded riders to the semi finals, Palvic will probably be in Croatia but what about Czestochowa? I think originally the Polish authorities had placed Protasiewicz as the wild card but not sure now after his accident on Sunday in Gdansk where he was knocked out and also injured his sholder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Nice stuff about Berwick's staging on e-newsletter to their supporters, regarding FIM, civic authorities and sponsors. Dennis McCleary thanking staff, riders quoted about Berwick's set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smod Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Thought the two-minutes or so clip on Quest during Swedish Grand Prix showed Berwick in a good light. Scrubs up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
