If Denmark cared Jepsen-Jensen & Michelson would be there. If GB cared Lambert would. If nobody cared then meeting wouldn’t even be taking place especially in the last few days of October. Probably best to concentrate on the riders who are there rather than those who aren’t. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the 2016 EL Format, with 'protected' reserve heat 12. Tac subs heats 5-11, but not double points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castrolargh Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Got to agree , Trees , that was a decent meeting.We even got some overtaking !Good to see some commitment from riders on both sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Glad to hear it was s good meeting and went the distance, I was put off by the forecast in the end. The Brits looked professionally turned out in the photos I’ve seen. Anders Rowe will be in demand for 2020 I’m sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrss Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Didn't really want to go last night , but was persuaded by the wife to attend. Glad I did , some good racing on a miserable damp night . Well done to team GB and extremely well done to Anders Rowe and Drew Kemp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 I had planned to go, but my 120 mile round trip with the dodgy weather forecast put me off. Shame, as I as looking forward to once last speedway fix before winter sets in. Hopefully they'll do something similar again next season with better weather, both teams looked like a nice mix of riders, and I was looking forward to see Rowe and Kemp round the AFA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 The real deal for official Speedway Test Matches has always been eighteen heats, with teams of six riders, plus one or two non-riding reserves. I welcome the return to Test Matches, but if they want to do it right, they should return to that traditional race formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Real pleased this was a good meeting with plenty of on track entertaining racing. So it begs the question, what was the difference to a regular Stars meeting that are generally a borefest?? Was the track prep different at all?? Standard of rider on offer racing against a similar calibre each heat?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
