topaz325 Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 Great meeting, well done Poland and all the teams all went down to fine margins, in the beginning it looked like a dogfight between GB and Poland , so well done to the Aussies and Denmark for keeping it close. It was evident that changes would be made in the nominated heats for Denmark and GB . Only six points between first and fourth , just shows how even the teams were.

Colinspeedway Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 Had a great time. Last night the racing was vastly improved from previous rounds. The atmosphere was fantastic and our lads gave it a real good go. Yes it was a shame as we nearly had it but I think second place still deserves respect. The Polish fans that we sat around were very friendly and were very interested in us. For my first time in Poland I had a great weekend and certainly will be back. The only complaint for me was the queues at the bar and the painfully slow beer tap! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hunter Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 Does anyone know what the prize money was for this year's World Cup and how it was divided up? The dynamic duo made vague references to prize money without being specific! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Discovery+ app on either smart Tv or iPad etc - you can watch the entire meeting! it was great night of racing - just fell short - never understand why people don’t get the point about belief / mental toughness it’s what separates the elite in all areas of life!!

Zmarzlik and Magic both produces passes to pick up places that really shouldn't have been possible GB however didn't deliver even the one barnstormer required despite having four goes at it and therefore fell just short They didn't bottle it, they didn't fail - both those viewpoints are frankly a little ridiculous They simply weren't quite good enough Spot on - although a future world champ would learn from this and use it to their advantage for the future! Out of early disappointment comes success often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytsejam Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 Great meeting last night, more than made up for the very poor semi’s and run offs earlier in the week. GB came so close but were let down by “Mr Ego” and the Danes did far better than I thought too (also let down by their Mr Ego!!!!) We should have this format every year, not just once in three i.m.o.

As Tatum was constantly pointing out, running last places can be very costly in a team event, and so it proved. I thought Adam's contribution of 4 from 3 rides was a good effort. Thing is that was probably the most competitive WTC regarding best 4 Teams and 4 riders,anyone could have ran a last in any race.We just have to take it for what it was a great meeting ,as the result showed any one could have won it.

Fantastic stuff from 4 evenly matched teams all giving it their very best. All four teams were winners and a triumph for the sport of speedway. Maybe this a good template for the way speedway should go in the UK, four teams at every meeting so potentially more travelling fans, 5 man teams, run it at 16 heats or something.
