It would have been better to lose 5-1 trying to do that than lose 4-2 while he clears off. Yep.Lambo was close enough. Just needed Tai to try and slow Emil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well done to Russia. But if there was any natural JUSTICE - we won that. Once again Speedway is made to look daft - situation normal then. Television has a lot to answer for.

Grachan 7,314 Posted June 9, 2018 3 minutes ago, PHILIPRISING said: DOUBT it. Emil was always going to pass Lambert    All the more reason for Tai to let Laguta go and try to block Emil. Lambert was all over Emil at the end. With a bit of help he could have got past. In any other race there would be no point Tai hanging back and getting passed by Emil, but in a one off final they may as well have risked giving away a 5-1 to give Rob a chance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you'd seen previous anti-BSI/Phil Morris stories on SF you woudln't be quite so naiive. I don't disagree that the Polish media is anti BSI. My point is simply that none of that can be attributed to the Polish manager, which is what some were suggesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolfsbane 12,940 Posted June 9, 2018 If it wasn't for Woffinden we wouldn't have been within a Rossiter team talk of the final, stop bellyaching for Christ's sake. And by the way, I detest the guy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
