Baldyman Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Wow,,, that was one of the best meetings ever,,,, it's a hell of a skill to be able to hold perfect formation for 4 laps,,, but to do it for 60 laps is the creme de la creme. Red Arrows will be well jel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruiser Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Back in the 70’s and 80’s Sheffield was one of the very best tracks in the country..up there with Hyde Road and Kings Lynn…at least the new Belle Vue is great but Sheffield and Kings Lynn aren’t a patch on what they were 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountArthur Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) It wasn't the most exciting of meetings in terms of racing for sure, but it retained some interest in the scoring and seeing if Sheffield could build up a big enough lead for them to hold off the Witches big guns in heats 13 and 15. I don't think Sheffield's track is as suited to modern day speedway as it was in the past, especially at this level with riders being so fast and not making as many errors and 10 of the 15 heats tonight were won by riders who are world class and rarely get passed. Another issue must be the long dry spell which has made track preparation everywhere quite difficult, especially when it's been as hot as it has. The racing has been ok at Owlerton this year. Not brilliant, but entertaining enough. Any sporting occasion can be boring. It's the nature of sport. But it's not quite as boring as some of the f**kwits who seem to make up a large proportion of the posters on this site that can't wait to decry speedway at every opportunity.

CountArthur Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Also, I would have paid £22 to watch Sayfutdinov ride round on his own. Probably one of the best performances from a visiting rider in my 49 years of watching speedway and the first time he has ever seen the track. Absolute genius. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danyon held Doyle up for 3 laps before Doyle got past and made up ground on musielak. Not the first time young Danyon has impeded his team mate. But hasn’t perfected that art as well as Danny king has ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emil's a class act and been a joy to watch everywhere he's been by all accounts, he rocked up at Leicester earlier in the season and went thru the card plus broke the track record and then last night went unbeaten at a track he probably ain't rode many times if at all, and he's pure class round Foxhall every wk.

RideHard Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Sayfutdinov best rider in league absolute class act, Holder and Musielak no answer to him. racing at Owlerton has been decent this year, like previously said certain riders who are world class will trap and be gone that’s just this league. Why do certain posters on here have such a bad opinion of Jack Holder? He’s a fair rider on track and seems to be mates with everyone in the pits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this but don’t waste your time trying to convince people who don’t even go to meetings but know everything about the meeting. Most meetings are from the gate now because the tracks are still stuck in the 70s and the engines are too fast. Watching a meeting on tv is different to been trackside. Half the time the camera angle is poor. Don’t know what it showed on tv last night but obviously Jason Doyle fan missed both overtakes on Tobi and Adam taking them both out wide on seperate bends Emil was total class last night shame he’s not in the Borefest GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually looked like Doyle realised he wasn’t going to catch Tobi, so tootled around in third until the last bend when he decided that he wanted 2 points rather than 1 paid 2 on his score card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 I don't think Danyon has much control over where he is going and doesn't go in the same place very often,, so Doyle was probably very apprehensive of passing him 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
