HenryW Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 That was a fantastic Grand Prix. Some brilliant racing which, once again, proves that when given the right track, these boys can deliver some spectacular entertainment. It's still the best sport in the World when done right. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner85 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Excellent entertainment tonight. All of the riders should be applauded for giving us the best GP this year and one which will be difficult to match. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 18 minutes ago, chunky said: Forget "GP"; that was quite possibly the best meeting I have EVER seen... There was racing on every line. Push to the outside, white lining, dives for the inside. You couldn't predict where riders would make a move. And that heat 18 was unbelievable. It's rare you watch a meeting and think, "I'll watch that again, tomorrow". But that was special. My wish? The tie at the top of the standings will still be there and it goes right down to the final final at Torun (especially as I'm going to be there, yes).

acef Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 At the end of the day, the tracks play a huge part. In Poland they have czechova and Toruń, now Wroclaw. If you look they are all very similar in shape and size. Big entrances and wide exits. Speedway is just better on this track type. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without looking it up, was the last WC run off in 1973? Cos I was there for that one, in Katowice. Could history repeat itself. 46 years on? And I don't mean will Jerzy Szczakiel win it. Now I have looked it up and I've witnessed WC run offs since. Old age eh? But this would be the first GP WC run off.

Gunner85 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Having seen the racing at Wroclaw, it begs the question as to why BSI continue to put SGP s on at poor tracks. E.g Prague is a great place to travel to but Pardubice is the best track in the Czech Republic by a long way Krsko rarely produces good racing etc For gods sake put the meetings on real race tracks Edited August 3, 2019 by Gunner85 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a few Polish ones with the best Sweden has to offer.. Add in the 'flagship ones' in Warsaw and Cardiff.. And you have 'the perfect storm'... Magic made a very telling comment. .
