James Carter Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Catching up on life at the moment so just watched the sgp in Polish and FFWD through all the non race bits Did FF get interviewed after heat 6? It looked like he managed to change direction and pull a wheelie to avoid PD. Has he said anything about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Great to see Freddie winning his home GP, still tight at the top of the standings but Leon Madsen seems to be consistant enough to stay on top while Tai now has real job on to secure at top eight place for next year though he must know he is a definite wild card pick if he doesn't make top eight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigACE Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 That crash was awful to see. Just as well that wheelie was pulled. I thought Max would be more worse off. Yet there he was, Carrying on. What a guy. I think Doyley was hard done by. Worthy winner in the end Fast Freddie. Did not like the explanation given by Rossiter about the GB disaster. Giving it the- People who know Speedway lark. It was a shambles. End of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Caught up on the SGP this morning, great meeting once it got going. Shame gate 3 was such a graveyard. I had thought by now Zmarzlik would be pulling clear at the top with Woffinden out the way but that's not looking the case. Thought the only rider that would trouble the Pole would be Sayfutdinov. But now Madsen is starting to look like a winner. Don't think Woffinden will make the top 8 but no way will he not get a permanent wildcard for 2020.

OveFundinFan Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) Just watched a replay of the final. What a race. Fearless Freddie was amazing, but not far behind in the amazing stakes were Madsen (carrying a massive injury but you wouldnt know it unless told) and Janowski. Not cared too much for Madsen in the past, too much of a gater I thought, but he proved me wrong this year. Yes he can gate, but he chases and goes for gaps and often succeeds. Magic is just magic at times. The quiet one, just does his stuff efficiently, sneaks under my radar many times. Must mention Max Fricke..... what a trier. He is hungry for GP success..... and its going to come, and when it does it could open the flood gates. His crash last night was pretty horrid, but he come back, obviously hurting. I hope he is in the series next year one way or another. Woffinden is assured of a pick for next year. Fair do's to him for riding, but he riding safely and thats ok. He keeping in touch with the opposition in the best way..... on the track. Gives him a chance to do a bit of bike testing as well, and he is clever enough to have thought of that. I enjoy his commentaries as well. Bit of a changed character to a few years ago when he was swearing a lot when interviewed. That had to stop and it has.

AlexBrady Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Sitting at Växjö airport reflecting on last night - a good nights racing once the first block of heats were complete. Lindgren a worthy winner, and Madsen finds speed that nobody else can - lots of talk as to how, but that’s for another day. Looked an incredibly harsh exclusion for Doyle in his final heat which ultimately cost him his spot in the semis, but I’m yet to see a replay. A steward at the venue told us the crowd was 5,500 - but I’m terrible at estimating so I wouldn’t like to guess either way. Final mention goes to Tai Woffinden who made our trip that little bit extra special - inviting myself, my wife and our almost 2 year old daughter into the pits, allowing her to sit on his bikes and sit in his pit bay - a true top man and his true form on a bike is only round the corner I’m sure. Next GP were attending is Cardiff, so Teterow and Vojens will be a tv job - looking forward to them already. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weight, set ups etc - no suggestion of anything illegal from my end! Other people around me on the terraces Saturday night and again in Wroclaw were saying that he does get get in lines sooner off the bends but likewise, I can't notice it!

Mark Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Weight on the bike should be even across 16 riders or a minimum weight. A bloke weighing 8 or 9 stone has a big advantage unless they change the rule.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
