1. Who's bitter?

2. What did I expect? Realistically a battle for 3rd like we're getting

3. Who knows what would happen with a level playing field and everyone on legal machinery?

 

Ah well, my mistake, you do seem bitter, as R&R says as if the Poles would be so stupid. They are just better than us on their own tracks, also pretty good on ours when it's NSS.

Let's be honest, the only reason Team GB are in the final is because of the draw. If we'd have been in the second qualifier we wouldn't have made the race off let alone the final.

 

We need test matches against the Swedes, Poles and Danes but in their countries on their tracks if we are to improve and be competitive.

Agree on the second part Toad.

 

Watched a Poland vs Russia test match recently and even though Poland ended up winning comfortably, a few Russians really stepped up which probably has helped them this SWC campaign.

Let's be honest, riding in Britain doesn't prepare you for riding at this level...

 

The true World Class talent that is left riding here can often turn up, ride at 70/80% and still have a good night...

 

Tonight you see the difference in class when that same World Class talent have to stretch themselves to 100% performance..

 

Our lads need to be opened up to this level of meeting abroad, at this type of track, far more regularly if GB are to compete outside of this country..

 

Or maybe we can just persuade the FIM to hold a SWC Final at Buxton..😁

Who thought we would see Worrall replacing Lambert. Both him and cook have really struggled tonight

 

Harris has put up a big fight and been impressive. Worrall has rode much better than I expected and been competitive. Should be proud of himself. Such a shame he broke the tapes
