When you read the whole article it is clear to see he is very frustrated in how speedway is run today . To quote he says "speedway is now like F1 I think,. Its just decided by the engines and not the riders. Even if you spend a lot of time training it doesn't help if you have had bad setups or bad engines. We are going the wrong way"
Is it the engines, and if so what is wrong and how is it rectified? or is it something else, say the track material, depth, not enough on the inside, whatever?
I can see Emils frustration that for the last 10-12 years or so he has been the Russian boy wonder, but he hasn't won the World Championship, and now, this year, Laguta is in with a hot chance of doing just that.
Maybe though, Emil has a point. A standard speedway engine should be a winner. But it seems riders are spending loads of money on top of a new engine to get it to higher levels,
What do you guys think, and what is the solution, if any is needed.?
