Bartek did what Dan cannot do (yet)..

Lock the bastard on the line when going at full pelt, and block your opponent..

Nobody  can do the moves that Bartosz does when straight-lining into the corners.Doyle is the nearest but he usually takes the opponent off and gets excluded.

ps 

should he not have been excluded for taking Jensen off tonight.

Bloody Max Fricke though! 

Yes I left the stadium cursing Fricke!

I might burn the Grudziądz t-shirt with hus name on I brought last Sunday!

Love Lynn, dislike how it's being run, 2 different things. 

Lambert was having a great night then decided to curb crawl, maybe he felt the pressure but he most certainly shouldn't have been beat by Janowski how he was

The biggest let down was Woffinden. 

I expected us to finish 3rd, but going in to those last 4 heats, being able to use Bewley twice, we should not have been beaten, absolutely not. 

I'm allowed to be angry for losing that. Those last 4 heats, we should have won it. 

Everyone kerb crawled in heat 20, the dirt was so far out. Had Lambert gone that far wide he risked losing second. Unfortunately Fricke held Lambert  up a bit and Janowski to his credit found a little extra drive to get round Thomsen and under Lambert in one move, fair play to him. But that's speedway. 

We just weren't quite good enough over the twenty heats, nothing was thrown away.

WOW WOW WOW. 

Could not have scripted this better. Poland needed to finish in front of UK on the final Race 20 to take SWC, and you should have heard the DEAFENING ROAR by the local crown when Maciej passed Lambert at the end of the race. 

And of course as a bonus I cheered for Max Fricke's Race 20 win on top of it. 

Awesome event, so happy I came here for it. Rain held off whole event, only started a minute after SWC Trophy presentation.

Thoroughly enjoyed that, fantastic speedway meeting that had a bit of everything.

I don't think the GB boys can be faulted at all really, they gave everything and pushed the Poles right to the limit in their own back yard. Bloody Max Fricke though! 

One or two people embarrassing themselves on here tonight, let's give them the benefit of the doubt and say that their accounts are parodies. They just have to be.

As has been said the event needs two or three venues next year, not just one. 

Most sensible post of the night award :)

I think Tai straight lined it once... surprised me Lambert & Bewley didn't do it more... It's probably a difficult move though, trouble is Zmarzlik makes it look so easy!

NOBODY LET US DOWN

The ONLY way to let a team down is by not trying. EVERYBODY gave 110% tonight.

Sometimes you perform well, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Welcome to life...

Very enjoyable meeting, but i feel that Tai only scoring one point from his last 3 rides probably cost GB the gold.

Lambert letting Janowski past cost us the gold.

Brennan not scoring points cost us the gold.

Bewley only scoring 9 cost us the gold.

Ellis not winning races cost us the gold.

See? It was a team effort.

All it would have taken was ONE race, and we would have had the gold.

Well if you’ve been listening to the “experts” on here we’d be incredibly lucky to get a bronze, Adam will score none and Woffy  double figures. 

Adam can be well proud of his silver medal, second place in the World Cup is no mean feat , be nice to think it might be Gold next year, and Tom certainly wasn't disgraced riding in such a high quality field of the best riders in the World. Thought Jack has continued his improvement and was superb tonight until his fall.

Why didn't they give 120%?

SWC planned to be every 3rd year if I'm not mistaken, so 2026 next SWC?
