Smolinski has to have ambition and he will try very hard. Doubt he is good enough for top 10 but you cant hold anything agaunst him for effort and having ambition.

1. Madsen 2. Emil 3 Zmartzik Tai 6th or 7th.

If you think the winner will be Tai, Zmartzik or Madsen how can Vaculick be in your top 3.

A restaurant for 50,000 people. Service might be slow.

we will all see what happens very soon.

See what happens when the tapes go up. His equipment will be top Aussie dollar so that is an advantage Hancock was a one off. Name a few other riders who have kept to a high standard at that age. Name ther riders who have made a comeback at age 44.. I want him to do well but until he proves it then I will have doubts.

Hope my view is wrong but there will be little upside to a once great rider showing his skills have gone a long way downhill. I did say it is nice to see him back.

Crump was a gater in his prime. Not the most exciting . If he gating reflexes have gone backwards with age then he will probably struggle. It is good to have him back in UK racing but apart from putting a few bums on seats in the opening few weeks there is little upside.

Polish league a huge class gulf from the UK. Doubt it would happen but if it did he would struggle to score points. I think he will struggle over here to achieve his average after so long without proper racing. He was a gater in his prime so if his reflexes are not as sharp he'll be in trouble.

This is correct. I read it would be a Polish track.

The system has been shown to be flawed. Smolinski rides, is anyone excited about that ?

Above the Euro champion. No chance. There is no logic to wildcards, how can anyone explain Lindback bar his Swedish passport

I feel sorry for the wild card who missed out. Michelsen, a very good exciting rider maybe missed out. Surely a rule change needed when an invited rider drops out. Not through injury.

I hope his wife gets better. Hancock was a top class rider but rarely took any chances which made him mundane to watch. Gate and go.
