What do you mean all the criticism of Janowski is pathetic.All i have seen mainly is posters saying he made a mistake/error in that important race.Just the same as you.

Can you imagine a football world cup final finishing in 3 : 0 for one team...and then to decide who is to be crowned world champion referee decides to have a penalty shoot out...Can anyone imagine this? because I can't, and yet in Speedway of Nations we have exactly this. Those who invented this should have their heads examined. Just checked on the result again.. Still says Great Britain won.. Poland were second And Denmark third.. No mention of who beat who, and by how far, and how many times they did it in the qualifying races leading up to the Final... A Final which ended, Zmarzlik, Lambert, Bewley, Janowski... GB 5 - Poland 4... I suspect as the years go by and it passes into the midst of time it will still only say.. 2021 Speedway Of Nations 1st Great Britain 2nd Poland 3rd Denmark... How it all unfurled will be but a side issue... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been very few.The odd posters are known for certain remarks.In general though i would say above 90% of posters on here have merely stated Janowski made a mistake.I think you have taken an odd posters remarks to heart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember at Derwent Park they scraped dirt off the white fencing on all four bends, probably to help with riders focus regarding track and fence? The air fences do get dirty too so as you say surely important to be cleaned? Yes you're probably right, the monster banners were completely obliterated by muddy shale!

GiveusaB Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 On reflection, not sure what I enjoyed most? GB winning (simply coz I'm not used to it...) or the fact that we stuffed the Poles for a change ? It's great to 'shut up' their bullish following! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Does anyone know if this officially counts as another World title for Tai Woffinden? If Tom Brennan is now a World Champion (as they were saying on BT Sport) then Tai must surely now be a four times champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to panic hence why he fell off...no mention of bottling but it wasn't purely misfortune same as Tai. Or are you agreeing with me and just criticizing others?

We usually stuff the Poles... it's the Ruskies we can't stuff. For me it was just good to see big time Speedway back in this country after a break of nearly 2 and a half years. To see the worlds best riders racing for a competition they are actually invested in winning, compared to the general dross that is league racing in this country (play offs exempted) was a refreshing change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a reasonable piece it was. 2 or 3 minutes in the sports update on the half hour. I assume it will be repeated today on the BBC News channel if you want to see it.
