Wessex Wanderer Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I sometimes get really ticked off about Speedway but then along comes a meeting like that and it restores my faith in its future. Bloody brilliant, I thoroughly enjoyed it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
severnsider Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Was fantastic meeting with some dodgy moves. Good decision to restage after weather yesterday. I saw the motox gp2 race on TV earlier. Was extremely wet track where no one could see after 1st turn. Lot of riders crashed, took off goggles and pitted for new goggles. They ended mostly riding to finish so not good spectacle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Congratulations to Sweden, shame Kildemand didn't get a gold medal, he rode brilliantly. Cracking meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 What a cracker that was, fantastic stuff. Well done Sweden, however Bjerre instead of MJJ has cost the Danes big time imo.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Was this the best televised meeting ever? It was a good meeting in terms of being very close, but it was hardly a classic in terms of racing. The World Cup format always throws up these very close results. Last year was decided on the final turn of the final heat and the year before was a last heat decider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) A thoroughly enjoyable cracker of a meeting, so pleased for Sweden, i don't think Iversen should be too hard on himself it was Bjerre and Nicki who let them down. I bet Wolves fans are wondering where Freddie has been hiding that bike!! Edited June 14, 2015 by foreverblue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant agree with that at all, there was some real good racing throughout. It was certainly the best TV meeting this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 It was a good meeting in terms of being very close, but it was hardly a classic in terms of racing. Always one... What would you have liked, what deems classic racing in your eyes? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either need to go to specsavers - or go and see your doctor for a thorough examination. That was, without any reasonable doubt, a classic.

Daniel Smith Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Dreadful meeting. The racing today will put the multi 100's of fans from attending meetings ever again. I hope the BSI realise this is now 2015, not 1985. Us fans are desperate for FTG's, follow the leader racing we normally see week in week out. All this overtaking is ridiculous, pathetic and very dangerous. I could never watch that week in week out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The World Cup format always throws up these very close results. Last year was decided on the final turn of the final heat and the year before was a last heat decider. There was actually a lot of good racing today. It was a very, very good meeting, and much needed after some of the televised disasters earlier in 2015. I'm not entirely sure if I'd agree with MickTheMuppet's verdict of best televised meeting ever. I would say the 2007 World Cup Final at Leszno (last-heat decider and more than 100 passes within a single meeting) is still the best of terms of racing, while for sheer drama, there's the 2006 and 2010 Play-Off Final second legs, and for controversy, the 2004 World Cup Final. But withstanding all that, it was a mighty fine meeting today. All the best Rob Edited June 14, 2015 by lucifer sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Out of the top drawer! Whooah x20 They were right though.,stonking meeting. The reason we watch Speedway was displayed today... Cut throat, hard moves and entertainment Well done Sweden, who'd have bloody thunk it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A much needed break of the Danish/Polish domination of this event in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
