Shaping up to be a tight finish.

Those unneccessary exclusions in each of rounds 2&3 could cost Rohan.....

 

Yes, fueltaps, sitting 3pts behind Brady Kurtz going into the Final Round on 40pts along with Sam Masters. The tapes exclusion and fall could prove costly. (I see Rohan's signed up to ride for Lodz again in Poland this season having got out of his Gniezno contract). Not sure how well Tungate goes at Olympic Park, but didn't have a great one last year.

 

For those interested, Cumulative Points after Round 3:

 

43 = Kurtz
40 = Tungate & Masters
37 = Fricke & Morris
31 = Holder
30 = Campton
28 = Sedgmen
19 = Proctor
18 = Waters
17 = Stewart
11 = Pickering
10 = A MacDonald
07 = Grajczonek & Riordan
06 = Sproule
04 = J MacDonald

I might be wrong but I think mildura is quite a tight track. Might not suit Kurtz or tungate as well as it might masters.

All to play for though and will be good to see some speedway even if it is early on a Sunday morning.

Interesting thoughts regarding the current state of Australian speedway.

 

What if we added these to the top boys in the current lineup;

 

Chris Holder

Troy Batchelor

Jason Doyle

Rory Schlein

Dave Watt

Dakota North

 

Not to mention a few others who are sitting this series out, Todd Kurtz, Ryan Douglas, Tyson Nelson, Alex Davies, Cameron Heeps, etc.

 

Things not looking quite so bleak....and there are some good kids coming through as well.

Not sure its much stronger than

 

Woffinden

Harris

Cook

Lambert

Stead

King

 

Yet People rave about Aus and say our Championship really weak!!

Yes but Britain has 27 tracks staging at least ten meetings per season. Australia probably has a handful of tracks (probably no more than four or five) that stage more than half a dozen meetings a year.

Kurtz at least took advantage of the Danish speedway season to get some early experience.Saw him at a young age on 80cc as I also remember seeing Masters.But I also saw Brady when he came over for a season in Denmark and seems to have paid dividends.

COMMENTRY all over the place ... mistook Holder for Masters in the A Final and never bothered to correct their error when announcing the result.

 

Will, I appreciate that they bothered to show the meeting at all, even if you didn't. It wasn't a great spectacle but nice to see some racing after a few months off

Should've been a run-off for title as you shouldn't be awarded a point for getting excluded.

 

Kurtz is a lucky boy gained a point the exact same way in the 2nd round after being excluded in the A final. So they 2 points have won him the title.

WTF?

A Final scores are 4,3,2,1.....so you get a point minimum as long as you have qualified

 

I only watched 4 heats and gave up,but good service,can't complain.Guess Phil didn't get a mention when they were greeting all the overseas guys including Rosco,Tony Steele and Andy P :P
