Swc Race-off


Recommended Posts

2 young riders should have been given the chance to blood themselves tonight. Bomber and King have been in the world cup and they have given the same results every time, they do quite well on home soil, but when they go over the water they just havn't got what it takes.

So I really think it would have made a lot of sense with 2 new riders, we where never going to win, this was always going to be Polands night and good luck to them they got the points they needed, they got the second places when the Brits came last, this is not good enough from 1 GP rider anda Brit who has been in world meetings for a number of years never quite giving his all, mainly because they are not good enough, to beat these young Polish riders.

What ever happened we would not have won anyway, so to me it made sense to bring the lads in and give them a shot, maybe just maybe they could have picked up those valuble points that the other 2 failed to do.

The BSPA are becoming a joke. Coventry trying to take a stand and now Tai. Something needs to be done.

What would you like the BSPA to do to improve Team GB?

Lambert has surely shown tonight, he's our 2nd best rider. He scored 8 from 4 in a meeting where Bart Zmarzlik who has won a GP scored 10 from 5 shows he's up there with the best of the U21s in the World and the best of GP wildcards. He should be at Cardiff regardless of GB final results.

 

Just listening to his interview there post meeting, what a smashing lad with a great attitude and approach.

Becoming ...Horton should work for them as he is the biggest joke in speedway .

Again...reserve rule (which is aimed directly at Poland because we care to train and invest in young riders. It makes speedway the only sport where they gimp leaders instead of forcing weaker teams to catch up). The reason why the reserve rider can't ride in place of the injured is simple. Because weaker teams have no riders. All FiM and BSI do is create rules to limit our and Denmark's potencial while doing nothing to improve situation in other countries.

Maybe its because poland think they are the b all and end all of speedway?? Holding riders and other countries to ransom like a dictatorship!!...:)

Bomber had a poor night for a GP rider. King average night for a rider of his 3rd / 4th ranking. Lambert outstanding with one ride less. Woofy on a different level to the others

The most blindingly obvious is Test matches at all levels both in the UK and Europe and maybe Australia.

Yea look at all those Test Matches Denmark ride .....the bottom line is that they lose tons of money who ever runs them hence why they are not ridden anymore .

Not sure about Aus but Test matches in UK and Europe are needed.

I've given up asking why we can't have test matches anymore. We moan that riders like King don't have any international experience, but fail to arrange any internationals to assist them!

 

This when we have all the top Aussies, and most of the Danes, based in the UK.

The Danes rode in a test match in Poland recently.

The Poles have also held a couple of tests against select sides this year. They take it seriously as a team and thus reap the benefits.

 

Organise a series, try and find a sponsor (God forbid), promote it (God forbid) and charge a reasonable price to get in.
