He only won 2 of 6 in Poland. This kid is going to be around for many a year. Stop talking sense; you know it's not welcome on the BSF...

RedOx69 Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Yes the majority of the meetings have been in Poland but as a result we got racing. The rest of the speedway word take note; crappy little tracks with one line and no dirt kills the sport. Bartosz, not unlike last year, would have won this year whatever tracks the meetings were on. He is, as the moment, the best rider in the world. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I think Scotty has done a good job in the studio this year. Upped his content, using the big screen and explaining technicalities. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner85 Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Congrats to Bartosz... first Polish double world champion Super final heat from him when he had already won the title. Tai was lucky to get to a run off but rode a good defensive race to take 2nd place. Would love to see double rounds in the Sgps next year but doubt it very much.

Assuming a Covid free season, and all the effort it takes to create an indoor track, back to back there would make sense if it generates the income. And Scott said that as I was typing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zmarzlik third to first in the final when he had nothing to gain.. A truly 'winning is all' mentality... The rest of the GP riders must be a bit concerned that they face someone who will put truly "everything" on the line.. Maybe being a Dad will take a little edge off him? I hope not, the kid is great to watch.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Double rounds are surely a must next year, they're brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Just seen replay of the final, I don’t think Janowski was happy, didn’t shake hands or even look at Zmarzlik on the way back to the pits. Could it be the move Smarlik did puxshing Janowski out to the fence when he undertook him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sport has been in free fall for years until Poland reminded us what we had been missing. Arguably the NSS in Manchester is the best track in the UK and in reality it is a carbon copy of a successful formula in Poland. I would love to see the sport thrive and have GPs all over the world but lets be honest, at the moment only Poland can sustain multiple GPs at a profit. The racing this year has been, at times, excellent and a credit to the sport. We need to use such events to re=engage public interest in the sport. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw42 Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Good honest interview from Tai, acknowledged his shortcomings and stated his determination for next season, here's hoping he can rekindle the fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
