IainB Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Well that was all a bit exciting. For me the team management very nearly cost us a place in the final, I hope they can learn from their mistake. Come on our boys! P.s. for anybody that did miss out heat 16 was added on to the end of the Discovery+ transmission... that one's for R&R Edited July 28, 2022 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to mess around when you're leading, but whe you have to do it from behind, it seriously limits your options. Yes fair point but the strategy would have been to put Bewley in the second GB heat so they could have done that anyway. Perhaps the strategy after heat one was to stick with the 'top' two as chosen and only use Bewley when they had to. To be fair to Lambert if he doesn't touch the tapes against Norway he probably goes unbeaten with Woffy for the rest of the meeting and there's no need for a run off but I think he will now be fortunate to be involved much on Saturday.

JamesHarris Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 What has been the actual point of these two meetings? I've just whizzed through them and must say if I was watching speedway for the first time it would certainly be the last. The racing has been mediocre and drawn out although Poland had a scare. The crowd levels have been shocking though I know a few more locals will turn out for the final. I was never a fan of the World Cup but the SON is even worse. Can someone please tell me how having the likes of Norway, Italy and Ukraine race against Poland, Australia and GB is going to be entertaining? No disrespect to the smaller nations but it's like watching 2 Extraliga heat leaders take on 2 National league reserves - there is just no point to it.

Before the 2 race-offs I think you may well have included Finland, France and the Czech Republic (looking at their rider line-up) in your list... and by the fact you haven't included those countries I think there in lies your answer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO is the answer !!! But when one of the "power house" teams doesn't get a 7-2 against a "minnow" like GB in their opening outing or Pol vs Ger & Pol vs Fin it adds real jeopardy to proceedings. I thought it made both semi's very watchable, not for the racing but the jeopardy of a power house team not qualifying 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Too many negatives popping up, seems as the British way of speedway is in the dumps all other nations should be dragged down as well. The "smaller" speedway nations need developing, it has been said on here for some time. Individual riders need developing. I was glad to see and event that has brought 15 nations into one competition, for sure it was expected that the current dominant nations would predictable dominate. But did they? Some "minor" nations surprised the top guns, at least giving them a run during a race though may not be beating them to the tapes. Who was not surprised at Luke Becker scoring 19, including 3 race wins....that is more than any other rider in Semi-final 1. Or the exciting rides from Timi Salonen and Marko Levishyn. Who was expecting those rider in SF1 to perform like that. In SF2 Milik showed form that he can still race, he scoring 19 along with Woffy and Berge. Who would expect Paco Castagna to race as he did and get 17, a lot more points then Robert and Dan put together. Who was expecting Matic Ivacic to show the pace he did. Can you see the enthusiasm this must have put into the young riders in these "minor" countries. The success of riders in Vojens must create enthusiasm with potential sponsors in those countries. There were sure signs progress can be made, the efforts of riders in the last two nights really was exciting. Not all efforts were turned into points, but the potential was clear to me. The crowds were poor, did the organisers see that coming? We dont know. Having 4 meetings in 4 days would mean supporters virtually spending a week in Denmark. Can many afford to do that. For sure there was a couple of supporters from GB there the last two nights, maybe others as well. Perhaps the organisers should have seen a low attendance coming, especially for three rounds, and could have said "we wont televise it", then there would still have been grumblers. I happy to see what has been on so far, the effort put in by organisers and riders (especially riders) will see something better in years to come. For the few riders from the last two meetings that will be riding tonight I wish them well and they dont get any injuries, a fewer numbers will be racing on Saturday in the main final as well, 3 meetings in 4 days is impressive.
