Robinh88 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Sadly British fans have seen only a pale shadow of grigorij laguta I can only apolagise to you all on behalf of the rider and russia ...

Triple.H. Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 If Emil S and The Lagutas who sound a bit like an indie band, hit the ground running I can't see them losing. Obviously what I know about speedway can be written on the back of a stamp with a marker pen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iand Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Laguta Unlucky to get excluded in 1st race. Fricke came into the corner too fast and not in control. Changed the outcome of the meeting Edited July 29, 2016 by iand 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Is it over yet? If ever a track failed to deliver on its promise ..... step forward the National Stadium. Someone should get on to Monmore for a proper prepared race track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyb Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Greg Hancock as stepped down from team usa. Becker replaces. Bloody ridiculous. Just couldn't be arsed to come over I say. Grigory laguta is here tho. Any legitimate reasons given why Hancock not appearing or just cant be arsed - as for Wells no loss whatsoever - but hey will not be forgotten by speedway fans of the England. Ricky must be due a testimonial anytime soon - word of advice don't bother !!!! looks as though USA taking the urine - should be banned for 2017 unless they have valid reasons - shame on them otherwise ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Imo the draw will be decisive if the track will be prepared in the same way. Whoever gets yellow will likely suffer due to lots of outside gates in the beginning. That said, I predict that Sweden or Poland will get yellow and Australia white.

Dawkins20 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 A year ago i didnt think i would ever say this but get Ole Olsen to sort that track out for the final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds On Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 very poor in term of racing only kept awake because the closeness of the score. Aussies have won their Cup Final tonight, a battle between them and GB for a place on the rostrum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 A year ago i didnt think i would ever say this but get Ole Olsen to sort that track out for the final. Morgan Andersson would be a better choice, he is the man behind the transformation of Västervik's track. They already had the draw. Brits - yellow Aussie - blue Poles - red Sweden - white Ok I didnt know. Obviously an advantage for Sweden with whit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyb Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Please BT keep Suzi Perry away from the studio in future compared to Natalie Quirk she is crap. If you have to use her stick her in the pits. personal message to suzi Perry - get back home to France quick and lose your passport so we don't have to endure you anymore. to add to your crap, thought waking up to bbc radio 2 at 5.59 to Vanessa Feltz was bad enough but you you this week while she on holiday has been cringe worthy - only hope Vanessa ain't on a 2 week holiday !!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noggin Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 USA must be the worst ever in the race off, Germany would have scored more, seeding a country to the final is pants, never used to, we got the four best in final and far more exciting and cut throat race off, hope tomorrow is an improvement racing wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 That was dull. Lost interest after a few heats and started channel hopping. Hope tomorrow is better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Fantastic view on the back straight but unfortunately the racing wasn't great, track far too smooth and slick. Shame as the track has fantastic dimensions and has huge potential. IMO the SWC this year has been very poor so far for racing, nowhere near enough passing across the three rounds. Hopefully there will be a bit more dirt down tomorrow and the final will make up for the action so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedibee Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 i have to agree. Seeding the home nation is just a gimmick to boost advance ticket sales. yes seed the aussies instead .and race in an empty stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there will be a bit more dirt down tomorrow and the final will make up for the action so far. IT wasn't slick it was far too grippy! After all that rain the track was very grippy which meant for most of the meeting the inside line was fastest meaning very fast times (original track record was broken in nearly every heat) but poor racing until inside line started to slicken off and dirt moved wider.

Ghostwalker Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Rob, there was allot of rain in Västervik too but they got the track back into shap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to new Belle Vue, its obviouy that the racing didn't come across as to exciting on TV and I can understand and see why but I still enjoyedvthe night. Highlight was seeing Darcy Ward looking very fit and healthy, he was sat in one of the boxes behind where I was sitting with Team GB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
