He mentioned it once, but I think he got away with it... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a few riders who are not in the actual meeting to ride lots of laps to make some racing lines. Gate 4 a dead duck as Madsen and Zmarzlik have just show . 50 laps between 5-6 riders would turn the track into something all riders could race on. And not just because of the weather tonight. Most GP's don't liven up until halfway through, when the track settles down. If they did it is a matter of course, I'm sure it would really improve things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Does anyone know what starting system is being used this year? I, for one, am really interested in finding out but it seems the commentators dont want to mention it... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 It might annoy “us” if a procedural point is mentioned more then once, but what if someone new was watching (which we all wish). Repetition for emphasis is very useful in such cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 I have to ask. Has Janowski been nobbled? Not made a start since when he was leading the series by a mile. It’s ridiculous that he hadn’t made one start in 4 GP’s. Beyond comprehension. The guy is one of the best riders in the world. Everyone can see he is trying during the race.

Just heard that it is a "computer generated system" that's being used to release the tapes... Nigel just finally mentioned it... After many GP's.... The things you find out... "Smashing"..

As someone may possibly say.. Wonder if Thomsens wheel is spinning again… Even when its not. Been watching N&K for almost 20 years now and never thought I’d say this but they’ve run out of stories Nothing wrong with Madsens bike or him. The track today is not for him, too grippy. Should just forget this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Woffy, once again riding far too safe and timidly... No place for that kind of riding nowadays... He may make the top six and if he doesnt will be given a wild card surely? If he wants one that is... Must be very frustrating to realise you are dropping down the order after so many years competing at the top..

Yeah, nobody has ever gone through that before... Nobody has had ups and downs before... Sad when it's happening to Woffinden, Madsen, and Janowski all at the same time...

With plenty of money earned, and plenty more to be earned in Poland and Sweden... The racing nowadays is truly cut throat and not sure Tai has it in him to be riding like that...
