Fromafar Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 7 minutes ago, someone said: I hate the scoring system, and would have no problem with the final being a single meeting, but having it over two days you need a deciding heat at the end of it all. Otherwise you risk it being all over at the end of the first day. Tomorrow everyone but Sweden will be trying to get into the race-off, otherwise we would just be hoping Poland make a few mistakes to create any interest. If the riders are getting decent money they won’t complain and just take their chance in the Final..It will take crash or EF to stop the Poles though.

The referee doesn’t like lambert lol from what I saw on the tv they both got to the tapes together? Could do with an explanation as to why woffy was nt excluded as well ?

IainB Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 I thought the racing was pretty good too... it's just that the track was a bit 1 liney after around 10 races. There's no practice tomorrow it's there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendonebunching Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Was looking straight at the clock and Lambert wasn't even sat on the bike when the time was up., Edited October 16, 2021 by Bendonebunching 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryW Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 You have to feel a bit sorry for the French. They scored a solid 24 points today but were the only ones who raced the Swedish seniors. Everyone else got 7 points against the Swedes but the French only got 3. That extra 4 points would have put them right up in contention for the 3rd place going into day 2. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he isn't used to the rules requiring you to be ready when the clock hits zero as they are the same in the GPs and the Ekstraliga.

mikebv Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Just got back in from the meeting, not the best ever meeting from the NSS but still a great nights entertainment... These lads really do put EVERYTHING on the line at this level... Saw Tai's crash from the top row of the Monster Rig and feared the worst given the angle and the hellish speed he went into the fence... Great to see him walk away... All to play for tomorrow if Tai is fit.., You only need to get to the semi and Robert and Tai are more than capable of delivering no lasts in that race... And then to the Final, and who knows what may happen? Even the best can be a nano second off at the start... Met plenty of Poles tonight, who certainly enjoyed themsleves, , and a fair few from around the country.. Proper Speedway atmosphere on the 3rd and 4th bend Nige... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruiser Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 So Dan Bewley can ride if Tai can’t tomorrow I hear ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Those that want Bewley in, I expect them to get their wish tomorrow, Woffinden looking VERY 2nd hand after. shame about the track, not great, very slick and the racing showed it wasn’t prepared how it deserves to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree,but I reckon in match race on a decent track Smarzlik would probably beat him 8 out of 10.IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
