THE DEAN MACHINE 4,740 Posted June 9, 2018 They have track covers in at Wroclaw today, they said it’s to stop the track baking in the sun but really we know it’s to stop Phil Morris getting near it with the water bowser 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghosty 500 Posted June 9, 2018 Can anyone confirm this: 2nd. & 3rd. highest scores have a run-off for a place in the final. The winning pair of the final (or 2nd & 3rd. placed if it's 3 - 3) are crowned champions. Therefore you could have the 3rd. highest scores in the heats & become World Champions.

You mean he wasn't last night! How can he call himself a patriot? Whichever underpants he wore last night, were the right ones even if they were from Poole ( an old Xmas present no doubt ) But if we do win the Gold Medal ( or indeed one of any colour ) I do think he should show us which ones proved up to the job!

WalterPlinge 657 Posted June 9, 2018 The Poles only have to get to third place to win the whole thing. You can guarantee that the track will be different today and the Poles will have different engines with "Polish speed". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can guarantee that the track will be different today and the Poles will have different engines with "Polish speed". Oh Yes! and that 3rd place to win, will likely net them a Magnificent Form Behind Victory to prove that they still rule the speedway world in two man, four man or seven man speedway. When the Final is in Poland, as it should be because they can make it a financial success there. And when they have even more than three GP's in Poland they will have another World Champion.

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted June 9, 2018 High def rain radar, coupled with Blitzortung Lightning, looks like Wroclaw is about to get a pasting (4pm) UK time.... So that's what the covers are in place for..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triple.H. 1,986 Posted June 9, 2018 I think in the runoffs and finals if it finishes 3-3 they should rerun the race until it finishes a 4-2 or 5-1. Or if you want something a bit different if it' a 3 - 3 have a matchrace over 2 laps. Winner takes all 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triple.H. 1,986 Posted June 9, 2018 So according to that Shale Searcher if the Poles don't do the business tonight they'l blame the Met Office. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
