pandorum Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) As GB are 14 points down on the leader can Woffy be a "double joker" on triple points? With our luck tonight he would be lucky to end up with 3. We need to start to invest in our young kids. Test matches home and away. Concerted effort from BSPA to get them in foreign leagues and help them out financially in doing so. Work together or we will be dribbling on about the same old thing in ten years time Edited August 2, 2014 by pandorum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Only scored 90% of our points yeah lets criticize him!!!! So he should be. Stead and King are PL riders who are outclassed in this company and Harris isn't that much better. Woffinden is the World Champion and the World Championship leader. Is it unreasonable that we should expect him to win a race ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw42 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Only cos the Aussies had all the bad luck in the World in the 1st meeting. I would rather not qualify than be subjected to this utter embarrassing garbage. We have robbed a decent team of a final spot!! We have hit an all time low on the World Stage as a nation. Nothing coming thru at all & country's like the Yanks look like they'll overtake us soon Give it a rest ffs, Team GB qualified on merit, nobody expected much from them and they have delivered exactly that, take a chill pill and enjoy the speedway.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Another good effort from King in Heat 13. At least he looks like he has pace and is trying. Harris throwing away points as per usual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillipsr Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Im not saying he hasn't been a bit out of sorts but the other three riders have scored 3 points between them to say he's been the most disappointing is ridiculous in the extreme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 And we would still be fourth, your point? Greg Hancock doesn't have that attitude. He's proud to ride for his country, It's a shame Woffinden isn't the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Another good effort from King in Heat 13. At least he looks like he has pace and is trying. Harris throwing away points as per usual. King is well on the pace, seems to lack the hardness of the others, maybe that will come in time. Disagree on Harris, he's fighting hard as his last ride showed. Stead off the pace totally. We are not as good as the others, but apart from Stead, the others are not far off the pace.

Halifaxtiger Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 And we would still be fourth, your point? Doesn't bother Greg Hancock, does it ? I take it from that comment that you are quite happy with his performance, believe it is acceptable and if he rode round at the back doing wheelies that would be OK because we will finish fourth anyway ? He is our one world class rider and the one giving us some consolation from this meeting. He isn't. Im not saying he hasn't been a bit out of sorts but the other three riders have scored 3 points between them to say he's been the most disappointing is ridiculous in the extreme You don't get it, do you ? None of us expect anything from King and Stead in this company. Woffinden should be winning races, not scrapping for seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Would sending Nicki and Niels out in 17 and 18 to kill the meeting be the best approach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Worrall, Cook and Garrity are garbage at international level. There's only 1 guy who can get around the big Polish track and that's Josh Auty, He can build up some speed with his style but his problem is his gating.

R87 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) A chance to get lapped ? Be realistic please.. But at least they will be picking up some experience. Its what the Americans are doing. We will not win this competition any time soon, so it would be as well to pick the likes of Lambert and garrity. Stead and King have had enough chances and wont improve, but the younger ones might Edited August 2, 2014 by mb1990 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i find it ridiculous you think he has been the biggest disappointment. Ill say again the other three riders gave scored 3 points!!! Is it to much to expect them to beat mads, doyle troy?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but when he is in the pits does everybody know he is there? By the way it's August!!!!! And Nicholls has a cheek asking someone to inspire the young riders where the Hell was he when the country needed help? Saying a rider would be proud to represent his country whilst sitting on a commentary chair is a tad hypocritical from our 2nd best rider Edited August 2, 2014 by pandorum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
