Torun 2019..


Recommended Posts

Great world champion, well done Bartosz.  You couldn't get a better final meeting of the series, superb racing all night. Let's hope Tai has an injury free season in 2020, and that this years experience will help Robert for next years series, if he gets that wild card.

Pish!

It's EASY to win a GP series! One-off World Finals were far better, and really showed the better riders!

The calibre of rider at this level today is crap! These riders wouldn't even have been good enough to get in a BL team in the 60's and 70's!

(At least, that's what I read on the BSF...) :party:

That's what I meant... :D

As much as I like Zmarzlik and Madsen, Emil is the best speedway rider in the world

 

I wouldn’t dismiss your claim, but he has to prove it by winning the top trophy.

Of the three, the one that stands out clearly to me is Madsen. He is carrying an injury that affected him badly for a couple meetings, sadly the results in those meetings robbed him of being champion. He has proved, to me at least, he not just a hater, he can race. He has a great personality too.

We agree on something! Madsen is clearly the best rider in the world at this time but injury cost him this year.

The problem with Emil is he keeps dropping points at critical times in meetings, how many times has he made the wrong gate choice or ended up with the worst gate in Semi- Finals or finals ? These things have cost him

Overall, really enjoyed tonights GP, with plenty up for grabs, and several heats with close racing / passing. The fact that after 5/6 months, the destiny of the World Championship wasn't finally decided until the penultimate heat made for a good finale.

Congrats to Bartosz. Thought Tai might squeeze into the final, but looked to throw it away in his semi, so very disappointing, but at least he got better as the meeting went on.

As for the GP vs. One-off debate, referenced by chunky, this will no doubt rumble on, but it's somewhat divisive to compare them really, as they are two different beasts, and there's a lot more behind where we are now than meets the eye, i.e. the myriad commercial aspects of a World Championship.

Zmarzlik was a deserved winner without any doubt.

close battle for the top three..

i would like to see the SGP qualifiers to be only for non SGP riders to breathe fresh life into the SGP for the next year and also intensify the importance of being in the top 8.

Need the best 15 riders. That would do me.
