foamfence Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 am I missing something here , why not invite top world class rider as wild card like emil sayfutdinov instead of some body who just happens to win british final, BUMS ON SEATS. would MOTO GP invite a rider who won a national race at Mallory park. and why is gp not repeated on itv4 like moto, superbikes, cars etc! mail on sunday 10 pages of bloody tennis , SAD. Why give one to someone who chose to walkout on the GPs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 As a Yank that thinks the sun rises and sets on Emil I have to take exception to your post. Danny King is a good speedway rider, a very talented tv speedway personality and a gentleman. After a slow start (that many regulars had) he came alive toward the end and passed the third man on the podium Zarmlick like he was standing still for the heat win. I'm watching on youtube very excited and happy for him but just think what that race meant to Danny and also to the fans. A highlight of the GP for me in one of my favorite GP's of the season. Â Won't comment on Thai and his F bomb but my problem was his distracting from Zmarlicks response in the press conference. Here's a rider 21 years old (I think) who is in there mixing it up with the best, speaking in his second? language, IMO deserves to have the respect that he showed to both Woffy and Antonio when they were answering their questions. Â Tai doesn't like it when he isn't the focus of attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 So what's the story about Tai recklessly racing round the Cardiff track in his parade car then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 People moan about the lack of personalities in modern speedway. He may not be everyone's cup of tea, but he's box office.

fullbore Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016  ,unless it's Woffinden Where do you think Scunthorpe is?  What nationality are his parents?  Was it his decision to move to Oz when he was 3 years old.  Niamh  Niamh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you think Scunthorpe is?  What nationality are his parents?  Was it his decision to move to Oz when he was 3 years old.  Niamh  Niamh Was it his decision to stick his middle finger up to the British Final and the British public with his arrogant attitude ?

customhouseregular Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Crowd - 40974 (Polish newspaper Tygodnik Żużlowy) I wonder if the GP would get a bigger gate if held away from Cardiff. How about a temporary track at Old Trafford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
