mikebv Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) The racing is really good tonight with no constant track prep.... Time for Fireman Phil to destroy it by flooding it and moving the dirt into the inside.... Edited June 25, 2022 by mikebv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s heat 8 and I fail to see where it’s got better, I suppose if it’s better by heat 20 they will be right. Expand Definitely better for the third set of heats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light lad, a bit of dirt on the outside on a wide track.... Right up his street.... Expand Could say exactly the same for Zmarzlik. Both looking impressive Also good to see heats got through quickly - about an hour from first race to the interval. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand When you get rain like that, there is no magic wand you can wave; you have to RIDE the track into better shape, and that takes a few races. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand And tbf there's been passing even early on; just progressively better racing in each block of four. Have to say the racing has been very good - certainly better than any of the 80s world finals. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enotian Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 After heat 12 at Gorzow in previous SGP's Red Gate has accumulated 30% of the points, Blue 27%, Yellow 23% and White 20%. Will it be replicated tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Not saying there is a magic wand but for about 90% of televised matches we hear “the track will get better” or “the track will come to the riders”. Basically telling fans you are only going to get half a decent meeting, not exactly a good selling point is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 Woffy just not mixing it when it gets tight anymore... Doesn't put riders under pressure either when behind. .. Lambert was very fair then, maybe too fair. .? Injured rider so maybe he would have moved over if Lambert had puf him undrer more pressure...?

Expand I’m not really it’s on cos hubby is watching, but everyone moans that not enough fans go thro the turnstiles and at most televised meetings the commentators more or less tell you that half the meeting is not good. Hardly going to persuade new folk thro the gate. Sorry if my viewpoint offends you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
