foamfence Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) It looks to be pretty much between Australia and Poland. With all due respect to Zach, the Brits are now severely weakened, it'll be good experience if nothing else.

iris123 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Was thinking of going to this(Holsted) as it looked fairly even.Denmark not as strong as previous years.Australia look fairly good with one form Fricke and Kurtz having had a season of riding for Holsted before he came to GB.Now with wajkneckt in the team looks a lot weaker and as they are shutting the motorway I think I will just look at the result n the net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 GB now look as though they may not even make the highest scoring 2nd place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Norway could take a few points off GB I think.Frederiksen is not a bad rider and in Moi at least they have another who has a lot of experience on Danish tracks.Sundvor I think also.Not sure about the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawkins20 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Łogaczow and Kułakow both capable of scoring double digits, dont know about the rest of their team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 SHEFFIELD will be without Josh Bates tonight as he needs more time to recover from his shoulder injury. Bates is also unlikely to travel to Denmark for the World Under 21 Team Cup this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Of the danes I regocnice all names from minispeedway, but still I think Jacobsen was the best of them in U21 quali's this year. And he was over in Finland in 2014 to do minispeedway Nordics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Greenwood Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 This is a joke , no wonder British speedway is viewed the way it is . I would guess there are a few good British lads feeling insulted at the moment the way they have been over looked as replacements for injured riders . I have nothing against lads getting experience but there are good lads out there who have been waiting for the call for a few years now . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea if riders are paid for this but if they are I doubt many if any will make a profit so it's maybe unrealistic to expect them to drop everything at a couple of days notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only one way to find out Star Lady but my bet is they would jump at the chance ,maybe faces don't fit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny the spud Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 It's easy to judge without knowing the facts, something similar happened a few years ago after a meeting and the conversation between three people went like this… 1, Can you get rider to Italy in a few days time ? I need a decision yes or no within the next 20 minutes 2, errr, we have an engine that needs servicing , a meeting here and another meeting in another country before that date, 3, Right, if I take your engine out now, i'll service it, you go off and do your meeting, drive straight to the ferry afterwards, i'll meet you there at midnight, you can then drive all through the night to get to your other meeting then straight on to Italy after that….. 2, ahh sod it yes, sleep is overrated anyway. We were lucky enough to have the back up, flexibility, time and finance to be able to do that… not every rider has. It's not about which rider you feel is more deserving of the place, it's about who is able to step in and help the team when asked. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCookie Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 British Speedway is a disgrace for having 2 of it's top riders injured. FFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
