Here's hoping Milik & Franc can do the Aussies, would be a perfect end to the meeting if they could.

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.

Do you think so. 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.

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.

Never thought I would say this,, but...

...I felt really sorry for the French there!  :rolleyes:

I see the logic as far as a "pair", but that is rough when something like that happens.

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). 

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.

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.

Can’t bring in any changes. And if they could Kurtz would be picked well before Morris.

Sorry, but again, that is pathetic from Milik.

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.

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.

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
