Speedway World Cup 2017

Hats off to Worral. Might have been on the roll but that was a great ride in that company.

 

Again we see the difference in pure speed that the continental riders have over the GB boys, though. We need to get the Brits doing as much testing as possible at the national stadium in the run up to any of these international events as it's the closest thing we're going to get over here to a typical polish track that we can use readily.

 

Hopefully we'll see our boys improving their performances on the continent in the coming years now we've got this great facility over here.

Speedway just seems like a different Motorsport in Poland. All about horsepower and engine tuning rather than gearing and clutch. Both forms of the sport have their respective skills but it just feels tonight feels closer to longtrack IMO.

Forget all the over the top hype around Lambert, Tonight's stand out rider for GB has been Worrall.

 

To beat Lindgren with how he's riding and to be on the pace with Dudek, Emil & Lindback is very impressive 👏

 

0 from Lambert and 1from Cook really let us down. King wouldn't have done any worse

As a meeting pretty decent. Poland had it easy on home soil, and result was never in doubt. The second event and playoff were much better meetings than tonight.

 

Whilst the money is in Poland, their riders will be on bikes tuned to go so fast no one can really compete.

Cook has ridden like the whole event has got to him. Stiff on a bike and riding like he isn't interested, although that is not the case.

 

Really he should have beaten Kudriashov but not even close.

Every race he has taken completely the wrong lines whether in front or behind...

 

That smaller track at Cardiff hopefully will help him get over tonight..

Do people still think Roscos tactics were correct? We have no tactical options tonight. Had Lambert been in reserve and one of King/Nicholls been in the team we could have at least given them a couple of rides rather than Cook and Lambert.

That last heat showed how Lambert can ride once the pressure's off, these lads must have been blown away by this crowd.

 

Well done Poland, easily the best team in the world. Special mention for Lindback, been inspired tonight.
