keepturningleft Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Just watched this on Youtube. I think Scott Nicholls was bang on correct with his opinions on the two exclusions. I can't understand why Kelvin Tatum can't see what is reasonably obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Yorker Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Had to go back and watch the final a few times in slow motion. I noticed that Tai kept going the full race but was running at least the last lap just inside the white line and as the riders were setting up for the last turn there was Tai just tooling around quite near the line. Wouldn't this be considered a distraction for the riders who were still racing (as Taicould have been)? Being that there is an ocean between us I will say that was poor sportsmanship. Also if I was the race director Nikki would have sat out the next GP for giving me the finger especially for a call that I didn't make.

RPNY Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) First trip to Prague this year, absolutely loved it. Nice medium between the glamour GPs in big stadiums and what I deem as the almost unacceptable GPs that are somehow still run in fields with little to no facilities. Was fairly close to the action so even with no over taking its quite a spectacle (although I appreciate that doesn't translate onto TV) After Zagar's overtake of Doyle it heated up and 2nd half of meeting there was some cracking racing. Be gutted if Prague went from the series. Really was very enjoyable GP in a lovely little stadium in a brilliant city.

eric i Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 I think it would be good if they had a gp at Pardubice and ran some shuttle buses from Prague so people could stay there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of special Trains would be ideal IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) May get shot down but Freddie Lindgren did nothing wrong in the final. Just hard riding. He was leading Tai and shut the door. It will happen back to Fred at some stage of the season. Edited May 29, 2018 by Mark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) On 5/28/2018 at 5:39 PM, PHILIPRISING said: THE one minute race is a strong point. If speedway races were over eight laps (for example) it would rapidly become a turn off. Nothing new in that. 75% of races now are a turn off after 1 lap. We could try 50 ONE lap races? Possibly more exciting when new fans realised that starting and taking the first two turns are nearly all that counts anyway. In UK league racing at least.

Not sure how you calculated 75 per cent however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
