It's either "you are" or "you're"...

Jeez... i ain't even an English speaker yet i know that. Didn't you get any education at all?

 

And how come me being happy about the results makes me a bellend (spelled like this!)?

You're not an English speaker but you put all the words in the right place. Foreigners, generally can speak English well but do not write it so well...

 

Mmmm....I wonder who you could be?

I love it. Anyone could be World Champion. Freddie looked an early prospect (as good as ever there has been) and could easily come back from his "injury". But a track advantage or the odd crash could change the course of the championship. That aside, and I for one want to see a worthy champion, whoever wins this year will surely deserve the crown. The GP system is a marketing device. It's designed for television. But as one who comes from the one off final days, when there was no TV, I might be expected to take a different view. Well no, World Class Speedway is as high profile as it as ever has been. I know British Speedway is in the doldrums, but we are wrong to resent the profile of the top riders. It's not their fault they can earn more money elsewhere. We still have a great 3 tier league system in this country. Get your heads in gear. Do you want to see the best riders in the World or is it that you want to see good racing? At the moment, you can't have both. I want us to produce riders that can compete on the World stage. You don't do that by paying riders beyond your means, you do it by investing all you can in our youth. I don't know what it's like today, but when I was in the system, riders were competing in the Conference League for £5 a point and half their travel money. And there were lads (and girls please) that would ride their heart's out for that. We have an infrastructure to bring youngsters through to professional rating. The goods one will go on. To make it happen, we need your help.

BAD POINTS

 

Track had no real substance to the surface and was very much a loose and fine material obviously baked in the sun previously and not enough water used earlier to soak into the base. Watering tracks like this doesn't produce grip but just a slippery loose surface and less dust clouds. It needs more substance in the material like a clay compound to bed it together and produces more grip and a more consistent surface.

 

In Slovenia the track wasn't much and here again in a country that has very little speedway this all star line up has to use a sub standard track and would much rather see rounds put in Germany, Italy or maybe even organise another GP here and use a football stadium during the close season.

 

 

GOOD POINTS

 

The entertainers and youth are running riot while the old boys are getting pushed aside and it's so hard to pick a winner. Magic, Dudek and Pawlicki were clearly the best three on the night and deserve the trophies. Eight points now seperate the top eight and you can be sure Zmarzlik will improve on his position and who from those nine will be crowned Champion is unsure.

 

A few nasty crashes and hopefully they will all be back riding soon but expect a few to be missing today in Poland but back to a decent track in two weeks time in Prague.

Whoever prepared this track before and during this meeting has made a complete balls up of it. Hopefully it gets better.

I know why they go to places like this, but it's ridiculous that we're wasting rounds in places like here and Krsko when we could have another round in this country with a much bigger crowd and more than likely a better track.

Agreed...

 

This weekend next year at the NSS would deliver a much larger crowd and great racing. .

 

It's the Great Manchester Run today too so thousands of people visiting the City to compete and support...

 

Spring BH weekend would be a fantastic sporting festival in the City...

I think you would simply split the Cardiff crowd with people choosing to go to one event or the other.

Disappointing meeting after the incredible SEC round there last year. Championship is wide open. Anyone of the top 8 plus zmarzlik more than capable of being world champ. Great to see Emil looking close to top form. Relieved to see everyone walk away from that horrific looking spill. Tai abut unlucky I felt, looking as good as anyone and he'll be in the mix come end of season. Tai emil Doyle and dudek would be my picks for top 4 come end of season.

Disagree. You will only fit 12k? at the NSS which would sell out for sure. I doubt it would impact materially on Cardiff attendance.

I think that Tai getting a warning, affected his gating ? and everyone seems to agree that getting out the gate was imperative on such a very poor surface.....glad i didnt have to pay to watch this one......not a patch on Warsaw in any way at all !!!

Well done to the Poles.....Freddie injured....Doyle bike problems.......Sayfutinov the only entertainer on show!

 

Sort these crap tracks out Mr Morris, that's 2 out of 3 now!!!!!!!

Top eight have split themselves from the rest, Zmarzlik the only one likely to join them. Will now take some spectacular recovery for the likes of Hancock and Holder to catch up. Linback having one of his dreadful years.

The racing wasnt top class, but certainly not dreadful. Not the riders fault, more the track. And as I remember that track seems similar to Prague - oh dear. Hopefully Prague will be prepared for RACING

Hi waihekeaces........ I love the GPs for the last few years, purely down to TW........a chance of a British champion, makes every race interesting........but I think he looks poor this year........... struggling over what lie to go for in each race, overcooking it.......... could it be parenthood taking his mibd off thingw? Not a dig if it is......

Tai doesn't seem to be keen to mix it these days,maybe his equipment !in his last race when he needed a point he would not go to the dirt line for some reason pottered round the inside trying to pass Kilderman was never going to happen.

What odds a Polish riderbeing World Champ this year?

Think with the crowd limit and the LineUp you would be gaurantee do a sell out and you would not effect the Cardiff crowd given the number of foreign visitors attend.
