I think the French had a better chance, can't see Franc being quick enough to stay ahead even if he got there.. especially as he's likely to receive zero help from Milik.. whereas both the French had some speed. Hopefully I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that race had been a 3-3 then Australia would have been in 2 run offs and with potential engine failure or a fall they could have gone out. Tai been cruising up until then. Look what speed he had to win against Sweden, and look at the 3-3 Aussie got against Finland. Aussie was in trouble an I see it as Tai helped them out. It could have put GB in a predicament. Ridiculous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He messed up at the start. I don't think it helps at all to keep making accusations that Tai favours Team Aussie over Team GB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunky Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Never thought I would say this,, but... ...I felt really sorry for the French there! I see the logic as far as a "pair", but that is rough when something like that happens. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Fair play to the format, apart from a bit of bad luck then France would be in a run off for a final place with the Aussies. I still think this format's got potential (bit of tweaking perhaps). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, leaving out things like the knockout heats and Under-21 riders, pairs meetings used to be a big part of speedway alongside 4TT's and Test Matches.

BWitcher Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) Sorry, but again, that is pathetic from Milik. Ridiculous of Tatum to say he fully deserved the round of applause. At least try and slow the Aussies up a bit. Edited June 5, 2018 by BWitcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Would have been funny to see Australia bale out but having them in the final makes that event better, maybe Holder or Morris will get the nod for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Milik made a bad call there. Franc was always going to struggle but there was a chance if Milik had stayed with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40-38 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Typical Aussie showboating like they haven't just scraped through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t bring in any changes. And if they could Kurtz would be picked well before Morris. Edited June 5, 2018 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All i can think is Milik didn't fancy a 2 day final knowing they would finish in the bottom two.Because anyone with an ounce of knowledge would know Franc would have needed some kind of help during the race.

Wiseguy Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Sorry if already been covered but they just said the final is over Friday and Saturday? What is the format for 2 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with that, don't think he once even took a glance over his shoulder, probably wouldn't have been able to do much anyway but dropping it over Fricke (I think) as he passed him entering turn 3 might have helped keep things tighter, instead he just kept out wide and disappeared.

Hawk127 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Well done to the Czechs for putting up a show and the lesser nations who made it entertaining but the Aussies make it. A pity but last chance saloon for Aussies who scrape through and on to Friday when hopefully the competition really begins. No different to the World Cup as far as qualifiers so let’s see if the next rounds match previous years WTC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
