iris123 20,983 Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Joonas is better as a Swede than he was as a Finn.Maybe an idea for Chris Harris there? Speedway isn't rocket science,oh no.It is just run by space cadets Edited August 6, 2016 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brandonbee48 1,194 Posted August 6, 2016 Terrific meeting with a deserved winner. Congrats to all the riders for some terrific entertainment, and most of all to the track prep guy. Regards to all. Alan. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,362 Posted August 6, 2016 The gap was there. It went as he was going though. But then the space was there when Bogdanov moved over. Both totally 100% innocent. If ever there was an need for all 4 back at any point in a race that's it. Agree it was 50/50 should be all 4 back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry 1,319 Posted August 6, 2016 Some of these start line camera shots are bordering on soft port, love it It's all I watch it for. The speedway is just a handy bonus! Great meeting with some breathtaking girls racing. Luv the Russian anthem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Yes you are. Nothing Emil does could meet with your approval- unless he signs for Poole ! Fat chance of that .That's not true I think he is an exciting rider but the gap had closed by the rider in blue. Emil went for a closing gap, hit him and knocked him off. just a racing accident but I thought Emil caused the stoppage by causing rider in blue to fall. He could have throttled back an waited. He had the speed. No big deal other than to the fallen rider who was ok. Edited August 6, 2016 by Steve Shovlar 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emil's done it before with Hans in an elitserien match at Motala and one of the pair ended over the fence. Emil should have been excluded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdmc82 2,878 Posted August 6, 2016 I thought this was a good meeting and the size and shape of the track left lots of room for passing and racing. I could watch Emil all day. He has such a natural talent on a bike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ytsejam 312 Posted August 6, 2016 Best meeting on TV this year by far...so much better than any of the GP's. Can you imagine the inane monkey noises shouty Pearson would have been emitting had we been unfortunate enough to have had him commentating on this meeting?!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodgy 976 Posted August 7, 2016 Brilliant! Speedway at its absolute best. Commentary, dull as - so much prefer Smashy & Nicey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midland Red 2,383 Posted August 7, 2016 An enjoyable meeting if utterly and completely meaningless. Why on earth should that matter? In "the good old days" we turned up every week at our local track to watch the speedway racing - that's what it was all about, and so much better for it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
