pandorum Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Yeah I saw that. Pretty laughable that anyone would believe such nonsense. Even our EL teams would struggle in any of the top leagues. Looks like the parade is starting so you might see some racing. I will stick with it then come back for Denmark as I always enjoy watching Andy Karpov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonbee48 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I love the way that "put on a show"- the bikes, the gymnast girls, the riders walking round. Just shows an acknowledgement that the spectators matter. Don't always get that feeling watching Sky meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 True our meetings are tired and stale affairs with people just standing around looking bored and nobody tries to entertain them. We have had this conversation on the Russian thread a few times. But British Speedway will never learn sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonbee48 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 The streams (that I can't ever get decently ) on Bet365 are really indicative of how it must be for a newcomer. LOOOOOOONG periods of just nothing. I know it's only a single camera and all that but it is really bleak. I see that this is round a football pitch so a good blaster track.

I know it's only a single camera and all that but it is really bleak. I see that this is round a football pitch so a good blaster track. I can't be bothered to watch that racing stream as like you say its too tedious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Suggesting Laguta re broke leg & has gone to Riga for operation (sportowefakty ) Same injury as earlier this year according to Smederna website. Just great, Smederna have the same "luck" as last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Damn I missed the end as I had to go out. Hope Greg is not too badly hurt and can make a comeback soon as he is the best Russia have at the moment. There goes their WTC chances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandorum Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Cheers mate. Missed first heat but good stream. Martin Vaculik for Mega Lada and Doyley for Vostok. Should be a good meeting. Crowd not as good as in recent years but still a healthy and noisy crowd. Some weird stick waving in the interval to keep the crowd amused Edited June 26, 2014 by pandorum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandonbee48 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'd forgotten all about this. What's the score? "Slightly" unsatisfactory start there! Spectacular "off'. Glad to see they handled it in a non Nicki/Zagar style. Energetic, prancing flag girls. Elite League clubs take note about keeping the crowd entertained. Always something going on with these guys. Great way to salute the crowd with the riders coming round and lining up on their bikes on both sides of the track. I guess "elf n safety" would block it in the UK without their helmets on.

pandorum Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Not a bad match. I enjoyed watching it Vostok don't have much luck. Losing Laguta last week and now losing Tarasenko in his second ride. They would probably have won if Tarasenko had not gotten hurt and withdrew. Some decent racers in Russia, Vitaly Belousov looked good yesterday. For me they should use Tarasenko as a replacement for Laguta in the SWC and bring in Loktaev as their 4th rider.

Ghostwalker Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) I heard about this new rider. His name is Pawel, ...Pawel Laguta, nephew of Grigorij and Artem. He is supposedly only 14 years old and have just moved up to 500cc and was supposed to have ridden in a local race at Vladivostok yesterday. https://sv-se.facebook.com/Ikaros.Smederna/posts/714276458665845 Edited October 17, 2014 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 it was a 5 pair tournament, each pair consisting of a senior Vostock rider and a junior (13/14 year olds) 1st Sergey Logachev and Pavel Laguta 2nd Vadim and Sergey (no relation) Tarasenko 3rd Alexei Kharchenko and Vitaly Galusko http://www.newsvl.ru/sport/2014/10/17/128421/#ixzz3GNOtdKvm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Guessing that Pawel/Pavel was riding a 500cc?So at what age can youngsters compete on 500s in Russia?Interesting considering the success Russia has had recently and the discussion earlier in the year and last year about Robert Lambert competing in Germany earlier than he was allowed to compete in GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
