Tigerite 319 Posted June 18, 2016 Glad to see Josh Bates have a decent meeting, had a couple of big crashes at Sheffield recently and is far from 100% so to end up with 12 points is a good effort. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tellboy 3,653 Posted June 19, 2016 Having been there tonight I have to agree with Fricke.The track was very good with times early on in the 58 second bracket,very quick.These young riders wanted to be on their bit of the track whoever was in the way was unfortunately going to get hit. I enjoyed it actually even though it did go on a long while.I was in good company so enjoyed my chats in between races(just over 9 mins average ) If only Lambert could gate he would be very hard to beat. Bates rode very well too.Ellis done ok if it wasn't for his fall and tapes exclusion he would have been in the semi i'm sure.So all in all a pretty satisfactory night for the Brits I think. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trees 2,814 Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Exactly. At least those of us watching online can keep each other entertained, poor sods who paid £20 are bored stiff with nothing going on in the gaps. Actually we were talking to each other, can't help crashes, have to be expected with Under 21s. One sport are the promoters .....

g13webb 4,254 Posted June 19, 2016 For someone who was actually here, I can fully appreciate the issues of a long drawn out meeting. It would be difficult to apportion blame on a specific reason. Yes the track was very grippy, yes, the riders were riding above themselves, yes they wanted to perform in a world championship, but there can be no excuses for some of crashes that happened last night. Some were Kami-Karci manoeuvres When sky are in town , they take control of the meeting, but last night the Polish Tele didn't appear to have that power.. They were there televising the event. So no blame can be put their way. The biggest culprit has to be the Referee. he never once showed any urgency or common sense. When he did press the 2min buzzer he got the biggest cheer of the night . Buster didn't help things along with his lengthy grade grades. The meeting needn't someone to push the proceedings along but sadly it didn't happen. Robert Lambert, didn't win, but he, more than most, keep the poor crowd entertained. This meeting did the sport more harm than good. Total Shambles....... PS : 2 years back I criticised the Brandonapolis meeting for going on till 11pm, saying never again. But this was even worse.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Lady 5,400 Posted June 19, 2016 Well the morning after the night before and my verdict. Some cracking racing which I thoroughly enjoyed. Some very long unnecessary delays which I didn't. Ref was shocking with his amnesia as to the whereabouts of the 2 min button. Couple of decisions I disagreed with too. Whoever was in charge of running the meeting should never be allowed to do so again. Well done Robert Lambert, not only a brilliant talent but unlike some of the others riding last night has got a good head on his shoulders and realises you don't have to do all the work on the 1st and 2nd bend the race lasts 4 laps.

Bryce 349 Posted June 19, 2016 they weren't allowed, has to be after each block of 4 races or not fair Understood. I didn't know about that rule. I imagine it had the promotors pulling their hair out though after all the delays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lambert is a real talent has a real racing brain that move and cut back on Riss was superb. Pieszczek is a very nice fast rider, reminds me style wise like Magic.

Clerk of the course has the most influence and is usually "a local". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
