Grachan Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 4 hours ago, RobMcCaffery said: Cieslak begins the article by trying to say that he didn't want to blame the track. However if you read on to the second and third paragraph The surface of the Wrocław track for the first final tournament of the Speedway of Nations was prepared by Phil Morris . It was quite wet and differed from the one on which the Polish riders were training at the beginning of the week. As a result, the Biało-Czerwoni were deprived of the strength of their own track. This translated into a poor result. After the first day of competition, Poland ranks last but one with 15 points on the account. We lose 10 points to the British leaders. - I will not talk about the track. They all had the same and rode better on him than we did. We are facing the second final tournament and we will do everything to make it better - said Marek Cieślak after the competition ." No it doesn't directly blame Morris but the implication is obvious ---- unless you don't want it to be for some unfathomable reason. I'm a constant reader of Sportowe Fakty and the message is quite clear "Poland is under attack by the British through BSI". Yes iot's sensationalist but revealing, especially some of the comment sections. If you look at the translated article, there is a dash where there should be speech marks. This is consistent throughout the whole article. Cieslak just speaks from... "I will not talk about the track....." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would favour the team with the most points winning but understand why that isn't an easy sell for some and TV. If we could guarantee a last heat decider like last night there wouldn't be the conversation. One day not two.

I THINK you mean the home organisers. There were stories coming out of Wroclaw that it was a sell-out. Quite clearly not the case unless thousands have decided not to bother after last night's result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw42 Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 They have so many open meetings in Poland we can only assume they see this another one, rather than a prestigious Championship, shame really as the racing has been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So on the whole still a pairs meeting very similar to this and to the World Pairs of old. Just without the daft stuff added on top. Not sure myself. As someone else has just said. The lack of public engagement with this type of format should be factored into the thoughts strongly. World Championships in empty stadiums dont make much sense just because some folk at the FIM have such dogmatic ideas.
