Anzum Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 To be fair I think earlier in the year Palin went at short notice to the World U19 or U21 championship when GB got extra places. It might have been Euros. Rowe declined due to his Polish team commitments. I think he had a similar issue with the u21 team competition. So I can see why they might stick with Palin.

He did ok in Poland this year and Palin only really has NL experience so far.....faces fitting more? I wondered that. I've never heard of the lad, and looked him up. He's only 16. He may well be a good prospect though. Rowe has shown good dedication this year by riding in Poland. I was impressed that he did that.

I'm sure you can only drip riders through Injury, so they couldn't choose to swap Palin & Kemp over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander15 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Obviously Lambert & Bewley are guaranteed to ride, but can you choose a 2nd U21 rider over a senior? So could Kemp be chosen over Palin or is Palin guaranteed to ride now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume Bewley will move up, Kemp will be the U21 reserve and Palin would be on standby to ride in day 2 if there was an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 If Sayfudtinov leads Leszno to another league title and he wins the SON with Artem, you could argue that he's had a better season than Zmarzlik. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) You look at the Polish squad and all of a sudden things don't seem to be quite so rosy in their garden. Dudek's drop in form has been alarming, Janowski and Pawlicki's exclusion is inexplicable and Cieslak may well pay for this with his job imo, the other Pawlicki's drop in form is more alarming than Dudek's and Drabik has allegedly retired. After those that have been already named you're starting to look at the old timers KK, Hampel & Pepe. I think they may end up pressing the self destruct button by placing too much pressure on their younger riders. Russia on the other hand have picked 3 riders who will probably just turn up and win (imo). I also note there's no Peter Kildemand in the Danish squad, what on earth has happened to him? He seemed destined for great things a few years ago, was really fast (fell off too easily) and was even a GP winnder then it all seemed to blow up in 2015. He was due to come back to the UK this season, I've only seen him once or twice on TV riding for a Polish club, who obviously don't fancy him.

Didn't I hear in commentary that he is retiring at the end of this year? Whether that is true or not, I agree that the Poles have to settle their differences. Having the clear world no.4 sitting at home during the Speedway of Nations is not only damaging Poland's chances, it deprives us from watching him.

racers and royals Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Just to clarify, these team declarations released this week were done 3 weeks ago- teams could name 3 senior and 2 U 21 riders. 6 days before the 1st final teams have to nominate the 2 senior and the u 21 rider taking part in the 2 final days. Team GB will be able to name a senior rider injury replacement for Tai if they want to on that declaration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tai has not said clearly that he's not riding. "That's a wrap" could easily refer to his Polish league season. Tai has damaged (badly, I admit) his clutch hand. I'm sure I remember occasions in past, when riders have switched their clutch lever to the right and had both the clutch and throttle on the same side. Not ideal, but doable. So I haven't given up hope just yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
