Joseq7 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Team USA Billy Janniro Ryan Fisher Broc Nicol Luke Becker Hancock pulled out to give Becker a ride .... This is very very very disappointing. We're here in a very drizzly Manchester, as of 1230, cursing whatever reason Greg isn't riding.

Terry Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 It's almost a shame Germany didn't qualify. At least Smolinski would be there as a spoiler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Team USA Billy Janniro Ryan Fisher Broc Nicol Luke Becker Hancock pulled out to give Becker a ride .... Barring misfortune to other teams probably less than 5pts likely from 20 heats. Donald Trump wouldn't allow this to happen if he was in power.

Welcome to Manchester, hopefully you'll still have a good time and enjoy the speedway. btw, drizzly means it's quite a nice day in Manchester.

Robbie B Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Does anyone know when practice at the Race Off ends, so that we will know when teams will be officially announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Does the fact USA made the race off this year mean they will be seeded next year? If so I'd suggest they change the rules cos Hancocks withdrawal has not only taken the p*ss out of Germany and all the other teams that have to qualify but more importantly the paying public 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, if you're wondering what to do for the afternoon just shout up, there's plenty of decent bars, restaurants, museums, buskers, vagrants etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Lambastablebert, surely he's in more need of the practice, especially after a week on the beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I assume Hancock will get a ban like the Russians last year when they didn't turn up? Would like to see that grinning nob hit in the pocket. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner47 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 This must surely help the Aussies cause, or we'll soon find out if practice ( and a bit of track knowledge ) does really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabbsjoe Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Did Hancock even travel to the UK ? if he didn't it's a bit poor that this news was only broken today considering the American team travelled here on Wednesday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem harmless enough but it doesn't give a great impression TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
