All on www.speedwaygp.com Get the feeling all isn’t well in the Australian camp! Holder is very bitter, he had his chance in the Torun GPs and looked out of his depth. Only has himself to blame 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All on www.speedwaygp.com Get the feeling all isn’t well in the Australian camp! His story in the SS this week is a bit weak considering he is still in Country.Sounds really bitter that Fricke got the pick for GP challenge.Got an attitude problem IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 If you are looking to dispel the cliche of a moaning Aussie ... Never interview a Holder. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatcher Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 In a Polish League match between Torun and Lodz in the summer, the Holders beat Rohan Tungate in a no-holds-barred Heat 13 but all were happy to shake hands at the end. It was the same type of action in Heat 15, but this time little Rohan outsmarted them. Cue the Holders spitting out their dummies and not being interested in congratulating Rohan.

Hamish McRaker Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Poor reporting in the SS of the accident in heat 15. Nobody "piled into" Lindgren when he fell. Lindgren was thrown well clear and the only thing near to "piling in" was Wozniak clipping Lindgren's machine. Ridiculous so-called journalism 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner85 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 As soon as we had the heat 15 melee, it was obvious they old pull the plug at heat 14. correct decision without a doubt.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them were anywhere near Lindgren.Meeting should have never went ahead IMO.I am in the should have finished it camp.It was a lottery though.

I was surprised at the time, it took so long for the TV commentators to realise that Lindgren was nowhere near his bike, when I, with my decrepit eyesight and generally failing faculties, spotted where he went straight away!

So there are a set of rules and procedures covering possible postponements. These include the provision for a one day event and a reserve day on the Sunday. So why oh why did they start this meeting on the Saturday when it was clear that they only "hoped" they could get to heat 14? If that heat 15 accident had happened in say, heat 6, what then? Well, I suggest, the riders would have said it was too dangerous, the meeting would have been called off and a full 23 heat final would have taken place on the Sunday when the weather forecast had already suggested better conditions. Instead of that, in a year of precious little speedway, we all feel cheated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was obvious from the start that there would be no “real racing” just a case of getting round in one piece.Visability and spray would always be a problem you had to gate.The riders were getting round Ok. In the last race Bernzton and Wozniak were actually giving it areal go to their credit.Lindgren falls off on his own so they decide “that’s it”. That’s Speedway though,if the Stadium had been packed the fans would have felt cheated IMO. Edited November 1, 2020 by Fromafar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said that’s Speedway ,you can never tell nowadays whether the meeting will go ahead if there is the slightest concern regarding track or weather.Don’t know how the Polish fans react to these situations though.
