Woffy's gating isnt where it needs to be head to head, but his natural talent will always put him in the mix.. With his eyes closed he is definitely top 8 given he is so good.. And he does very well at Prague where so many 'top riders in the Polish league' seem to not go as well.. Four would be amazing but not unrealistic..

racers and royals Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Even the Speedway GP website has given Vaculik 4 points and Zagar 3 tonight when it should be the other way around !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full-throttle Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Two really good meetings, and be honest when was the last time we had a GP as good as we have witnessed this weekend. Yes, some of the rules are ridiculous, but done correctly there isn't much that beats speedway for excitement and entertainment 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it seems these top guys have a fantastics sense of living on the moment and moving on. They know they’ve given their best at that moment, thats it, next one in 20 mins or tomorrow. I’m not like that and dont know if to envy them or think their daft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you think that too. That’s what I had on my Mk1 excel spreadsheet. Wonder when they will realise. Two nights of thoroughly enjoyable Speedway with the right winners each night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC71 Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Am I right in thinking so far Laguta has more race wins, but is 6 points behind in standings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's they way you have to be in professional sport. Of course, you enjoy your successes, but getting carried away with it can be very counter-productive. It's far better to stay at the same level mentally - regardless of your ups and downs - rather than put yourself on an emotional roller-coaster. Good or bad, what's done is done. You can't change what's happened, you can only change what is going to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Two really good meetings, and be honest when was the last time we had a GP as good as we have witnessed this weekend", I thought Friday was a tad better, but that is being picky. Way before my time I've read / heard from several souces that Booey was smooth as around t'Shay and was a sight to behold; 10 years with a 10 point average you know....

I know lots of people dislike him for some reason (maybe because they can't understand the accent) but I'd love Havvy in there to give some opposite opinions. 5 hours ago, Fromafar said: Magic is class and superbly smooth on the bike,deserved the win tonight.Laguta is fast but lacks bike skills required when having to make quick decisions on the track when trailing. He is a big spoiler though in the Championship. Am I the only one who thinks Magic is a complete GT that looks just as confused as Laguta when chasing? How many times do you see him fumble it and almost run over a back wheel before working out a passing line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Excellent racing over the 2 nights. You can’t beat speedway go racing, the guys are giving it 110% and have done over the last few years. It’s very intense. They must have strong minds to keep doing what they doing at this high level.
