Wolfsbane Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 If it wasn't for Woffinden we wouldn't have been within a Rossiter team talk of the final, stop bellyaching for Christ's sake. And by the way, I detest the guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Incredible to see people complaining about coming second, so much to build on IMO so its over to you BSPA to give Team GB the tools to be first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMcCaffery Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 2 hours ago, PHILIPRISING said: LIKE the idea of two riders from each country in a race. Maybe three man squads, no under 21 requirement.. 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. Have actually fired this off to Armando Castagna. We've been there before in 4TTs, if not necessarily the WTC itself. It didn't work. Maybe it would now. It would be foolish to dismiss it on thatr basis. Anyway, I l;ove team racing, which is why I love team matches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 What was going on in the last heat ? why did Woffy try to win it rather that trying to help Lambert ...as normal all about himself ...then after the race he's starts doing wheelies like we won . At least we can look forward to seeing him at the British Final on Monday 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReturn Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 I think tai's been superb all week, but I think he got that wrong in the final. Was he aware that we needed 2nd and 3rd? If so then he should have settled for second and tried to slow Emil. But otherwise, fair play to Tai for a superb tournament. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BECAUSE I don't believe he got his tactics wrong. If Lambert had actually got into third then I have no doubt Tai would have held back. But Robert didn't and was never likely to even if by some magic Tai could have kept a rider of Emil's ability at bay while also shepherding Lambert alongside him. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not Doyle's version. A friend of mine had a conversation last year with her then track's new manager. She mentioned team riding. The guy hadn't got a clue what it was. One of the races of the night was Lambert getting the 4-2 against Poland. Excellent to watch but nothing to do with team riding. Outside league racing I do find the concept of team riding overstated at international level. It's great when it happens but it's NOT worth fouling up the format in a naiive hope to generate it. Some great racing despite the format. Now back to the credible, serious stuff - the SGPs and the leagues.
