Drop the ticket prices and you get a full stadium. How about put some dirt on the track that creates plenty of passing then you would probably get a full stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimmy Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 If you plan to go to a gp do you seriously think a few extra euros on the ticket price is going to stop you going to one..strange comment about the size of the crowd relating to ticket prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expected crowd was 100,000, the actual crowd was reported at around 40,000. Over the last 2 years businesses have lost a lot of revenue during lockdown, but the public are not complete idiots, they not going to pay overinflated prices to compensate lost income. Same with holidays in the uk, prices shot up this year. Now booking absents are cutting prices to try to get places filled. What they should have done is keep price rises moderate so families will take a uk holiday, see what beautiful countryside and good amenities there are in the uk so they will book again next year. But greed set in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him on a track where passing is impossible, and the rest of the line up have a decent chsnce against him.... Possibly the worst GP I've seen, partly compensated by the good performances by Tai and Dan. Pretty disappointing to see people writing Lambert off, he's young and certainly one of the top 15 riders in the world. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellevueace Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Due to the football play off and UCL final i actually forgot about the GP, probably due to the fact ive never enjoyed a Prague GP. Reading peoples thoughts im glad i didnt waste my time with the meeting or the highlights package, surely now these dire tracks will be weedled out as the GP rights holders wont want this type of event going forwards? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zmarzlik pulls the same move 9 times outta 10 when he comes from behind, bores a whole under ppl and expect them to move, done the same kinda move on Lambert on Saturday, we need Nicki P back coz he wouldn't be afraid to shut to door on him 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinkox Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Worst meeting I have ever seen - sometimes more passing in just one race at Belle Vue. Track needs more banking I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin bass Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Im not disputing how fast he is nor that he's a double world champion, he's a quality rider with rocket ships underneath him, im just saying if the riders infront shut the door on him and clamped him to the kerb he wouldn't get by so easily, unless he rides thru them and knocks them off, Madsen is another one who carries a lot of speed and does the same kind of move, you'd of thought by now the other riders would of sussed out him and Madsen and not keep falling for it time and time again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it's that simple. Bartosz goes through the inside, round the outside, through gaps that seem impossible. At Prague yes he could be blocked like that, but on a racing track he can pass on so many different lines. Of the multi-world champs of my era, he's the most spectacular to watch imo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway riders, like football players, ain't renowned for what they've got up top. I've always wondered why there's been no pits to rider communication along the lines of other motorsports, with a manager telling his rider where the opponent is coming from. I also think it depends how much a rider WANTS to become World Champion as to what they are prepared to do, you get the feeling that Nicki Pedersen would be prepared to do almost anything to hold onto his race position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
