Fromafar Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 I'm a Janowski fan but don't know what he was complaining about Nikki done nothing wrong.Smarslik was more ruthless on the back straight more than once.Its just GP racing.

Steve Shovlar Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Great final shutting up the Poles. Deserved winner Zmarzlik didn’t see him coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 ONE of those meetings that was probably better to be at than watching on TV. Great atmosphere with the crowd. Massive downpour before the start, worked wonders to get the track as good as it was. Vaculik has well and truly put the cat amongst the wild card pigeons. Lindgren far from fit. Sayfutdinov strangely subdued, don't think he has much speed. Still Tai's to lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did say after Malilla that the wildcard situation is going to be really interesting, and as i see it now it`s Holder,Pawlicki and Cook replaced by Lindback,NKI and Kolodziej. Everyone else deserves their place. Edited August 25, 2018 by racers and royals 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a couple in the top 8 who haven't sniffed a GP win. Edited August 25, 2018 by Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilali Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 From a racing point of view what a disappointing uneventful meeting. Like others have eluded to Gorzow used to be an absolute cracker of a track, not sure whats changed. Nice to see Vaculic getting the win, one of the genuine nice guys.

Tactical Joker Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Always better to be there live than watching on the box, although Natalie and Scott present the programme excellently. Maybe I’m easily pleased but again I thoroughly enjoyed that. Can’t quite grasp some of the negativity on here. Delighted for Martin Vaculik, who comes across as a decent chap and just a shame he had that injury earlier in the season. Like most, couldn’t see what Pedersen did wrong, just proper speedway. Thought Zmarzlik made a more questionable move to block Vaculik in the final. Woffinden on the podium without winning a race was unusual, as was Doyle missing out on 9 points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellevueace Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Good final ride by Vaculik but overall not a good race meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 You can't beat being there watching live,the atmosphere makes up for the racing in a lot of cases.There has been some poor racing at Cardiff but the atmosphere help create the illusion of a good meeting on the night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trotter65 Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Having seen how wet the track was earlier I thought the meeting was OK..I thought it was a good advert for the sport with a big full stadium and a great atmosphere...the racing wasn't fantastic but to be honest i started watching in the 70's and speedway racing is often poor ..this wasn't poor....this was a good advert as speedway goes 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 I enjoyed it even though the racing wasn't the best,I've just spent a couple of hours watching heats on you tube from mainly Dudley Wood and Monmore from the 70s and 80s and most races were rubbish lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got a time machine People are right, Mr Ped did nowt wrong tonight but that incident and last weeks show just how disliked he is on the European circuit through his riding over the years.

Col Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) As far as the Fricke/Holder debate goes. Who knows. If in 2005 you'd have told me Hancock & Pedersen would win 5 future world Championships but Lindback & Lindgren wouldn't make a World Championship rostrum I'd have laughed at you. If when Doyle signed for Leicester as a #1 if you'd asked me if he'd ever have held his own as a #1 I'd have said he wasn't capable. But he was the best rider in the World in 16 & 17. Hancock having as many World Championships as Penhall, Ermolenko & Hamill combined is frankly incomprehensible considering those riders natural talent. If in the era where Pedersen still wins GP's. Iversen is still winning GP Challenges while MJJ & Kildemand have had time to adapt to the demands of being a top rider yet Leon Madsen is the best Danish rider in the world. Again I'd have laughed. Perhaps it isn't as predictable as we think. Edited August 26, 2018 by Col 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFCB Wildcat Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Only just watched it and personally I'm getting fed up with this vendetta against Pederson, it's getting boring. Janowski a rider I've always liked has gone down to zero in my estimation and that imbecile cretin mechanic should be banned from the pits for life. Totally unacceptable. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
