Triple.H. Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) 54 minutes ago, Mark said: It is good improvements will be made but we've heard this every year for at least 15 years. The truth is its a terrible track for racing and that hasn't changed nor will it change. But there will be another Prague GP for the foreseeable time and every year we'll say it's rubbish. Speedway shoots itself on the foot every day. GP's should run be on the best tracks that let riders show there skills. One of the problems from what I've seen at Marketa and Krsko is the GP riders are just too good for the track. They're at the top of their game and don't often make mistakes. I've seen some meetings there with lower standard riders and theyve been entertaining If you watched a meeting with a Championship league level line-up I reckon you'd get a pretty entertaining meeting. Only way to improve it for GPs is widen the straights by a metre and the bends by say 1.5 - 2 metres on 1st and 2nd and about 3 on 3rd and 4th. Edited June 16, 2019 by Triple.H.

Maybe I would have another Polish GP to get rid of one of the poorer tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked genuinely pleased with himself afterwards. Like a child with a new toy. He rode well. I just like speedway, not too bothered who wins so long as they are fair, but preferably not a start tart, so that rules out Madsen, Dudek and Laguta. Agreed. Very pleased for Kolodjei. He's such a great rider in Poland and love the camo!! Madsen a gater? I don't think so. He's a good gater but has plenty more in the locker. He came from 4th to 1st in the semi!!!

Not sure if the owners at Pardubice are all that keen on getting SGP there, and I don't think BSI are any more keen as well on the idea. As a racing spectacle this year wasn't great for Prague but hopefully next with promised changes things will be better. Still a great weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leszno is miles better than Bydgoszcz, however they have started to upgrade the Bydgoszcz stadium with new seating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Trying to remember exactly, but the seats on the first turn at both stadiums didn't have back rests. There was certainly no seating at Byggoszcz on turns 2, 3 or 4 just terracing. Not sure I had license to wonder around as much at Leszno.

Interesting to hear what tracks should be used for SGP. This is what I dont get there has been more then of its fair share of decent racing at Marketa in recent times. Even Saturday there was some decent action later on (same happened last year) For me this HAS to stay as part of the series. Lovely little stadium, great City. Its a must Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) I've skimmed through the races and didn't think it was too bad actually - there doesn't have to be overtaking for it still be a decent race - positioning and defending are key skills. Don't want to see any more Polish rounds. To see Fricke getting Fricked was rather ironic but Madsen should have been disqualified there. Is it both him and Dudek that have been banned previously for drugs offences? It's another argument as to whether they should be allowed to compete in the GPs but I'm not keen on it. Also very interesting in that the GP highlighted the advantages of having the right gate position at the right time. Standard regrades every four heats and at semi/final stages always spoils things for me as those races immediately prior are often better contested/more unpredictable.
