Expand The meeting took place this afternoon so clearly it was impossible for Harris to get from Berwick last night to Poland for a Sunday lunch time start, personally I would've much preferred Harris at Berwick last night but its not like that nowadays. Still he ended up with a bronze medal which is a decent return, might've been better had our former World Champ Tai Woffinden been in the team.

Expand With or without his 4 points from 5 rides still finish 3rd. You Berwick lot definitely a more forgiving bunch about these things than I would be!!

Bagpuss Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 I can understand the point of view that Brennan should have ridden for GB instead of Harris but once selected you can't turn down your country and Bomber has always represented GB with pride and given 100%. Disappointing Woffinden didn't ride, if he was standing aside for younger riders then fair enough but that obviously wasn't the case with Harris picked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I go to the football I usually get a trained referee and not a trainee doing a professional game.

Expand Thanks for the info. Maybe having a trainee in charge and putting the red lights on when the riders are in the 3rd/4th bend with Lee Complin (after being taken out in a first bend incident) in the first bend fence isn't the best (was 2nd time I looked at the refs box). Wonder if any of the races will be posted on social media like the last few weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I mean we had 5 riders and lost by 4 points… wasn’t an excuse at all, just an observation as I’m not afraid to say our track was poor in comparison to other meetings, unlike you clowns with your trenches on bend 2, craters in bend 4 and 200 fans but all is fine. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best example is Scunny vs Plymouth: Palin & Lambert would get a protected heat 8 against Bowtell & Morley, but the far weaker Kingsley races against Barker & Palm Toft, which isn't a protected heat!
