TheReturn Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Pedersens 'bird' looks like she is ready to party, not hang around in the pits. I also saw two kids walking around the pits, seems pits are a walkabout for anyone these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f-s-p Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Sayfutdinov chucks the bike away far too easily at times. That's why he spends half his life injured.And when he actually held on it, he was injured in that as well... LOLÂ Had Pedersen not let the bike go in the Milik incident he'd still be collecting bits of his collarbone at the track having been highsided big time.

Icicle Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Why do they spell Toliatti with a g in in? There is no g in the Russian name, not even the sound of a "g". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Why do they spell Toliatti with a g in in? There is no g in the Russian name, not even the sound of a "g". Because the city was named after an Italian,Palmiro Togliatti  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmiro_Togliatti There are always variations when translating Russian to English,German,Swedish etc.Seems only reasonable to translate the name back to the original,even if others translate it to alternatives Edited August 21, 2016 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Why do they spell Toliatti with a g in in? There is no g in the Russian name, not even the sound of a "g". Â It is called transcription and is used when transcribing names/words between different alphabets. You don't translate "by letter" but by the way the name sounds. Like Emil S, in English it is Emil Sayfutdinov but in Swedish his name is spelled Emil Sajfutdinov. It is the same with the Laguta brothers. In English Artem and Grigory, in Swedish Artiom and Grigorij. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Haven't seen result yet with final yet to watch, meeting TiVo'ed. Another great meeting racing wise, why can't the GP's be this entertaining. Pedersen bailed with space to spare when Milik overtook him then hit the tapes in the rerun. Almost poetic justice. Just glad Sayfutdinov hasn't amassed a silly amount of points so the Rybnik event still matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Should be a fantastic final event, so close. Shame BSPA don't allow Lambert to be involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsoil Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 For me the racing has been every bit as good as the Grand Prix (the meeting in Daugavpils was as good as I've seen in a long time). I also like the SEC because it gives me a chance to see riders e.g. Laguta, Milik, Vaculik, Madsen who I would otherwise not see. It also goes to different venues each year, variations on the same old GP venues. It would be great to see British riders involved in this, as well s the Pairs events Onesport organises. It would give these riders a great experience of riding abroad, preparation should they ever reach the GP or World Cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Milik is starting to show his true potential IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepturningleft Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Another great meeting from the SEC - surely it would be a great boost for Russia and speedway generally to hold a GP at this venue. Â Despite the admittedly amusing bit of sarcasm from Hans Anderson about his wrong helmet colour, it is absolutely correct that he was excluded. Helmet colours have become a bit of a thing with me. Because of the protruding peak of modern helmets, the cover often doesn't cover anything like the whole helmet usually leaving two colours on display to confuse first time watchers along with everything else that is likely to confuse them. Head on shots frequently showed two riders apparently wearing red helmets for example. Â This is one of the many examples in which speedway fallen into slovenly ways in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Milik is starting to show his true potential IMO I enjoy watching Milik, doing well these days.... shows how competition can bring on a prospect. Same with Leo Madson, caught mu eye a few years ago as a wild card for a GP - now you could see him in the GPs full time.... and flourish hopefully. and the last two SEC rounds, both won by Greg Laguta.... great stuff.

Mark Posted September 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Anyone know if Rybnik is one of the less exciting tracks. Only seen one meeting from there and not much happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawel115 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Anyone know if Rybnik is one of the less exciting tracks. Only seen one meeting from there and not much happened. No Rybnik is usually pretty decent race track at least in those matches that i have seen. In my humble opinion the best Polish speedway tracks when it come to excitement in no particular order Opole,Grudziadz,Bydgoszcz,Zielona Gora,Czestochowa,Gorzow,Ostrow Wlkp ,Rawicz.

iris123 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016  ...or in the German language like the W in Gustrow or Teterow, but not in Gorbatschow Yes that is in the Slavic east.North of Hamburg we have the old Danish influence in the names,which means the 'y' is pronounced 'ue',which confused me at first  Brodersbü instead of Brodersby for instance.Or Rieseby,Nieby,Husby.....  https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodersby_(Angeln) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I might be wrong but lately it seems like that every team trying to get advantage by making their own track a one line gaters paradise especially in the ekstraleague.
