Speedway World Cup 2017

Germany had their chance in Latvia- but went there with a weak team and suffered the consequences !!

Neither of the duffers in tonight's meeting were involved in that qualifier though.

 

USA made the race off last year thanks to Greg racing the first meeting and useless without him, as they showed in that meeting.

 

Were the Czechs not last in their round last year as well? How did they get into this meeting? I don't remember them doing a qualifier.

Pearson.. "he's getting a standing ovation"... the camera pans to the crowd who are all sat down.

What an utter pile of tripe so far, 2 man races every time, no excitement, gate and win borefest. Couldn't care less who wins just want to see some close racing and a bit of excitement!! Think I will be in for a LOOONNGGG wait!

This is the downside of the hosts being seeded to the final. It does see fans robbed slightly of seeing Poland ride this year in the SWC week.

Aussies coming back into things now, surprised how poor the Czech`s are and Milik inparticular who on the continent is far better than this.

Has milik ever ridden saddle-bow before? He seems at home on the big continental tracks but this track is a bit different imo

I love the SWC, but the sporting spectacle is being diminished in two areas.

 

1 - Joker makes it a farce.

2 - The hosts should not be seeded to the final, let them earn the right to be there (I said same last year when Team GB were seeded).

Not that I care but why are the Aussies not using Brady kurts or jack holder?

Once the manager picks a team then its set. Doyle pulled out after team picked so the manager has to work with what he has.

Stops the trick Hancock did last year when he rode in this equivalent meeting, qualified cause of his points for the Friday last chance, and pulled out. Big moan on hear (and elsewhere) about him pulling out - you must remember that. So rules changed.

Had it been Lakeside or Wolverhampton then fare enough as that kind of track would be different to anything he will ride on the continent but not Kings Lynn, anyway a good rider should be able to adapt to any track.
