Worth the admission alone just to see him rake that two yard patch of track... It's not all about those GP riders you know.. Some people need to open their minds.. Cannot await to see Phil race direct in Cardiff.. I must admit I was fed up of the amount of time spent focussed on Morris it was like one of those fly on the wall documentaries " a day in the life of a pale stale male" not a s/way GP ,hopefully they will try to pad out the next GP better !

I said in brief without writing war and peace, if it was not suitable to be used in the race, or to put it simply, damaged beyond being safely used in the restart of the race. What more do you want in an explanation. On that note I give up and will go and watch paint dry as it is clearly a better option rather than continue to responding to the clap trap from a demented subscriber who clearly has limited intelligence and little to add to any debate. Being a demented subscriber with limited intelligence, I’m unable to understand your argument. Could you expand please, to help limit my dementia and increase my intelligence?

Please describe it how he is virtually a WC? 9 hours ago, Falubaz said: Most GP is boring. What isn't boring according to You? A Brit winning and You wouldn't mention boringness? I don't expect Emil or Artem to come back next year and win it but they might give Zmarzlik something to think about at least. He is so much better than anyone else that the series is a bit boring, there is no jeopardy. I'd say the same if he was British, Danish or Outer Mongolian.

Speculations... fairy tales... leave those to book writers. How do You know RuZZians would do good in the series? How do You know they wouldn't fail like Woffinden or Lambert (who some Brits said gonna be a Champion soon)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any spectator who travelled many miles/hours to a beautiful city like Riga to be dished up what was on last night certainly deserve better. Who could blame them if they didn’t return. Certainly encourage countries to put on a show, but just ensure they have all the backing to put on a show with the very top riders. It was lacking last night. I was there. No one at the track was bored. The first half of the meeting was really good, although it did tail off in the second half of the meeting. It certainly wasn't the worst SGP meeting of the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me where I used the word "bored" or "boring". Yes I stated or inferred it lacked excitement and the track didn't allow the racers to show off the best they can do, and I stand by that.

Daniel Smith Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Watched it on catch up & I have some serious questions. 1. How much of Polish money goes in to the series? 2. Are rider's instructed to not foul Zmarzlik? The final was shocking, it looked fixed to me. Lindgren would have 100% rode anyone else to the fence in that heat, I was absolutely stunned to see him actually move out of Zmarzlik's way. That was NOT the usual Lindgren, going for the win. What on earth is going on? Why is nobody pressurising this guy when they do it with everyone else. The whole field just lets Zmarzlik do what he wants, it's becoming a farce imo.

I don’t mind Phils pit tours a bit different to the usual rider interviews , plus the snippets of conversations are heard between riders an Phil. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some weirdos on here that can't let go that he was involved in an incident about 20 years ago and have this vendetta of hatred against him... sad, sad people! Personally i find watching him quite entertaining and gives an extra insight into what it takes to run these meetings. Better than watching endless replays or listening to Kelvin Tatum prattle on. He's does sound like a drug dealer though when he's trying to sell his methanol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False dawn Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 Not sure if it was the narrow track, 4 top riders all going for the same bit of shale or just a lucky picture. But I thought this was pretty good..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
