The commentary is second rate and now you have The old duffer giving it his best. What a load of crap and it is only heat one. To be fair... You cannot compare Poland's version of Speedway to the UK example.. It's like comparing Premier League football to the Evostick Northern Premier League football.. In Poland it means so much, with promotion, relegation, big crowds, professional infrastructure, and huge financial rewards, sponsorship, and media coverage... None of those things apply over here, therefore it is what it is.. Which is pretty much a vehicle for lads to earn as much as they can to justify a large outlay on kit.. As the race with Pickering showed, the spectacle is still worth watching, even if the operating model clearly, and obviously, doesnt do it any favours... Beats Emmerdale, Corrie and Eastenders on a Monday... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen Swedish or Danish League Speedway? It ain't all that, easily comparable with British Speedway in terms of presentation and quality (of racing) and British Speedway is probably better Edited July 25, 2022 by iainb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) I’ve been both a rider and a mechanic and it’s time to ban the mechanics from the track after an unsatisfactory start, it’s annoying and unnecessary , straight back to the start Edited July 25, 2022 by THE DEAN MACHINE 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secsy1 Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Just watched heat 6 and time to turn off. Jorgensen had a nibble at tapes, but why do riders have to refuel and faff with bikes (Tatum) If they have the tools timing change (Stead) Why do we have to put up with second rate guests as commentators lining their pockets at every conceivable event and causing chaos doing so. This is why speedway is in a downward spiral due to these parasites who actually believe they are doing a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pit gate open. Straight back round.. Edited July 25, 2022 by mikebv 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Lawson's really struggled around Monmore this year which is a big surprise considering the experience he's got around the technical tracks from his Lakeside & Eastbourne days.

TTT Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Superb piece of riding from Lewis Kerr. Runs as wide as he could possibly go to gift Sam Masters an easy pass via the Karlsson corridor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many riders at Wolves lock up on bends one and two and pass up the inside exiting turn two.. NB: Even Simon Stead has hardly mentioned it...

therefused Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Riders should just not be penalised for moving in my opinion, as long as you don’t touch the tapes let the race go, would cut down on a lot of re runs and late nights 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) Dont Speedway riders ever watch racing from Monmore? I presume not... Nor I presume must their team managers... Edit: And again... Edited July 25, 2022 by mikebv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloom89 Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 It's so annoying when riders just give up when there at the back, the amount of riders who have done it tonight is ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
