I've seen Dan mature from his Comet days.....in 2018 he fractured his femur into 3 pieces..was maybe career ending..and yesterday... HE BECAME A WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!!!

Poland were far the best team and should have been crowned champions. Rather silly that the team scoring way more than any other team only come second I thought it was a great spectacle which led to a superb finale. If, as you suggest, there were no play offs and final then the Sunday meeting would have been a dead rubber with no anticipation/excitement etc. and virtually nothing to play for. Perhaps some Polish fans might agree with you but I'm sure the vast majority of people including neutrals, TV viewers etc would prefer it as it was. Sport is all about excitement/edge of your seat stuff right up until the final whistle and the SON for me truly delivered on that score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 I'm still very much chuffed about last night.I was thinking though what are the reactions of the British riders like,King,the Worralls,Harris any British rider as a matter of fact.Were they jumping about in the middle of the room like me at the final race.Do they end up being fans like us shouting and sceaming,biting their nails having a few beers etc.Or do they just not bother with the being the fan bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they were bothered though - because despite the veteran age of some they could perhaps still feature for G.B. sometime.......maybe depends if 'Captain Mainwaring' will allow it....bet 'Private Godfrey' won't be happy to see that scenario though.

I agree we all know the rules,but do we really need 42 hts over 2 days to decide it,lucky was at Belle Vue and the fans got real entertainment,if the Final had been at the venue that they held the Semi’s you would have been bored stiff.GB won it which is fair enough.Being honest your could have raced for a fortnight and still had the same top 3.Roll on 2022.Will GB have to qualify next year.?

Col Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Watched day 2 replay now (selected heats) ... still can't think what Janowski was doing in the final, was he trying to do what did Hellström Bängs to him a few heats earlier to Zmarzlik? If so why? Not sure agree with Tatum that Zmarzlik got in his way. Still no idea how Lambert overtook Madsen in the semi, not that it matters. Other than that disappointed with Lebedevs & Australia, expected more, but Bellego surprised me maybe he will hold his own at Leszno. I'll watch day 1 - couldn't attend due to family wedding - at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Just a personal view ) This wasn't a moan. I wasn't unhappy or complaining. It was a great effort by Team GB with some memorable photographs.
