Was that on the city side of the bridge, next to the tower thingy. We saw the car that was sat on top of a scooter, but ad there was no blood or gore, we kinda assumed no one was hurt.

My friend at work when I said how many there was, said that there is a big movement to try and get them banned.

Home your friend is ok.

Yes it was City side of the bridge from what we've been told and it was a collision with a motor vehicle,so probably was what you saw.

Our friend is home and OK.Cheers for asking.:t:

How many races did Keke Rosberg win in F1 when he was world champion over 35 years ago?

That is very different.  In a F1 GP, each driver has ONE race; a an SGP, each rider has 5-7 races.

The F1 series is a simple points-accumulating effort, the same as the SGP series; Mark Loram won by gaining the most points without winning a GP.  That is fine, and that is just as fine with F1.  What people generally are having an issue with is that somebody is declared the winner of an SGP when he achieved a lot less than several riders above him.  Madsen not only won fewer races, but scored fewer points than several others.

Still, according to wikipedia that season had 11 different winners in 16 races and Keke only won one. Loram when he was champion didnt win at all. Like you say I see now.

I'm with the guy who said it's now as good as it can get. There's high drama for every round as the meeting will see a winner that has deserved it (or not, like in Warsaw when Lindgren gave it away). It's for that one night. Then there's the series for which these "one heat wonders" dont get taken in to count, because like Madsen did, on the night he was only worth the GP points he gathered.

Searching through transport options over the weekend Neila via Google maps and Lime comes up(that's the scooters).Think you have to register before using them.It was quite funny actually seeing these scooters just abandoned all over Warsaw!:rofl:

Personally preferred the original A, B,C, D finals, when the GP first started. Gave the qualifying heats more importance, 8 points would rarely have been enough to be in with a shout of winning the GP. Don't know why they changed it ..?

Who cares who finishes 13th by winning a d final? Not sure even the ridera wanted to ride such a heat if they had an off night in the first five.

The apps I used for the scooters were Lime and Hive .. just waiting at airport to come home but must have done around 25 miles on scooters this week

Have already downloaded lime for next year. They seem to be in all major European cities too...
