Cardiff Gp


Recommended Posts

I can't see what you are watching. Its not a good gp but we aren't allowed to say it because it's cardiff. Joe Screen has called it a trappers paradise and that the tractors are hoovering the track! But then what would he know!

 

I'm watching a GP with overtaking in Heats 2,4,6,7,8,11,12,13,14.. a very close race in Heat 15 with 3 riders.. and then a good one in 16 till a rider fell.

 

What channel are you on?

Don't talk such utter absolute nonsense.

 

Then you're just trolling. There has been plenty of exciting racing.

 

Heat 16 another cracker till Batchelor fell.. 3 of them abreast.

I beg your ruddy pardon. I'm giving an opinion on what I'm seeing, you have a different one.

No, I'm giving the facts. The reality.

 

There has been passing in the majority of races. Both inside and outside passing. That is rare in MOST speedway meetings.

 

The issue is Gate 1 has too much of an advantage which DOES spoil it somewhat.

 

However, better that, than 16 processional heats with race winners from different gates.

Those of you with agendas, troll away.

Passing does not necessarily make good racing, it's often a result of slow equipment

Whilst far from a classic it certainly hasnt been dull.

Yes gate 1s dominance has detracted a little from the spectacle but hasnt ruined it.

Cook did well in his first ride, but like last year has been outclassed since.

 

It would be great to see Lambert out there.

Cook's not going to make it to the top in the sport he's reached his level.

he gave himself an ideal opportunity to make an impact with that first race win and has slumped poorly since.

Im genuinely disappointed as I thought he would take the chance.

Are you ever wrong?

Yeah even someone biased like me would like to see him do well as a Brit, but he's missing starts and going backwards on bend 1 and 2 lap one.

Garrity and Pedersen in the same heat, could be fun!

Many times.

 

What do you want from a speedway meeting out of interest? Most people just it by whether a track is conducive to overtaking.. There has been lots of overtaking tonight.. unfortunately due to the significant advantage of gate 1 most of the overtaking hasn't been for the lead which reduces it from a great meeting to an above average one.

 

It most certainly is NOT a bad one as some on here seem to want to make out.

It all went wrong for Cook early on. Looked fast.. made changes. Major mistake!

Will be interesting to see if Nicki still feels all riders should take the chance of a gap if Garrity is anywhere near him!!

That's where I started on the thread & is my beef with the track set up.
