Speedway World Cup 2017

Poorer riders of equal standard can make for good races, we don`t need the fancy pants superstars of SGP to have a decent nights racing on the tele.

This is right. I used to see a lot of snobbery from Elite League fans on here in the past. Good racing is not exclusive to SGP stars.

 

That said, on another subject even if we get tanked tonight or this week I hope Tai is not allowed to walk back into the team next season. He can't be allowed to pick and choose when he rides for Team GB, you're either part of the team or you're not.

Not sure I understand Rosco's reasoning there. Would most certainly have put King in the side over Steve Worrall.

King has been really poor this season - was he really the next guy in line for a team spot?

Stupid question I know but I assume Fricke will now take all of Doyle's rides? Just making sure the rules for the SWC are the same as usual before I edit my programme :D

Looking at the line ups, USA look dreadful on paper. Even with this questionable team GB team we should be able to avoid last place.

 

Australia weakened a bit by having no Doyle who is one of the best riders at the moment. Plus now no reserve.

 

I'm hoping I'm proving wrong about my doubts about Worrall & Ellis in the team. Even Rosco didn't look too convinced when interviewed.

 

At least we are in the easier of the 2 qualifying events.

 

Come on Team GB 🇬🇧

Not sure he's sticking his finger up. He wanted a holiday, at least he was honest about it, I just don't agree with him doing that. Unlike Hancock who people seem to believe his excuse that he wanted to give the kinds chance. He's an OAP, I don't mind him saying he wanted a mid-season rest in his older years, but don't trot out the same lame excuse he used last season to avoid coming to Belle Vue.

Seems a bit off to me to leave King out. On his day he will come up with a double figure score. Will worrall do that on an away track?

Worrall has a higher away average than King has at home or away!

Fingers crossed Worrall delivers but I haven't seen evidence that he can perform up to the level King can. That said King's performances in the Premiership haven't been good enough this year to merit an automatic pick.
