chunky 6,086 Posted June 5, 2018 Never thought I would say this,, but... ...I felt really sorry for the French there! I see the logic as far as a "pair", but that is rough when something like that happens. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheReturn 1,724 Posted June 5, 2018 Fair play to the format, apart from a bit of bad luck then France would be in a run off for a final place with the Aussies. I still think this format's got potential (bit of tweaking perhaps). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thing is, leaving out things like the knockout heats and Under-21 riders, pairs meetings used to be a big part of speedway alongside 4TT's and Test Matches.

BWitcher 12,453 Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) Sorry, but again, that is pathetic from Milik. Ridiculous of Tatum to say he fully deserved the round of applause. At least try and slow the Aussies up a bit. Edited June 5, 2018 by BWitcher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marko 955 Posted June 5, 2018 Would have been funny to see Australia bale out but having them in the final makes that event better, maybe Holder or Morris will get the nod for that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted June 5, 2018 Milik made a bad call there. Franc was always going to struggle but there was a chance if Milik had stayed with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t bring in any changes. And if they could Kurtz would be picked well before Morris. Edited June 5, 2018 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All i can think is Milik didn't fancy a 2 day final knowing they would finish in the bottom two.Because anyone with an ounce of knowledge would know Franc would have needed some kind of help during the race.

Wiseguy 214 Posted June 5, 2018 Sorry if already been covered but they just said the final is over Friday and Saturday? What is the format for 2 days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't argue with that, don't think he once even took a glance over his shoulder, probably wouldn't have been able to do much anyway but dropping it over Fricke (I think) as he passed him entering turn 3 might have helped keep things tighter, instead he just kept out wide and disappeared.

Hawk127 1,357 Posted June 5, 2018 Well done to the Czechs for putting up a show and the lesser nations who made it entertaining but the Aussies make it. A pity but last chance saloon for Aussies who scrape through and on to Friday when hopefully the competition really begins. No different to the World Cup as far as qualifiers so let’s see if the next rounds match previous years WTC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
