If you top score, you get a bye to the final, but it’s not handed to you on a plate. Keeps people interested for longer, means you don’t end up with dead rubbers at the end of the event. A well established principle in many sports, including other speedway competitions… Spot on... And Lebedevs, Bellego, and Hellstrom Bangs (as clear examples), showed the level of commitment that these riders have even with "nothing to ride for"... No 'dead rubbers' at the very top level, so a one off final will enhance all that has gone before..

OveFundinFan Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Well done GB team. They gave it all and did it. I hoe this win is promoted the right way and gets on the sports pages of national newspapers, and gets at least local tv coverage. Rider of the weekend ….Hellstrom-Bangs, he deserves a special medal for making a good name for himself. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have thought Janowski would have known with Zmarzlik in the lead he was going to go to the fastest bit of the track.Plus he should have known 3rd place would have been enough to see Poland home.Janowski's error was not thinking half way down the back straight when Bewley was a way back.
