Bagpuss 10,763 Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Track obviously caught some riders out but still a pretty good meeting. Robert looking very good once again but good to hear from his interview that his feet are on the ground. Edited July 4, 2020 by Bagpuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Col 850 Posted July 4, 2020 Weird, unpredictable Torun track didn't make for the best entertainment, especially early on. That said Lambert's first outing, heat 4(?), was probably the pick of the heats. Woryna exclusion was wrong. Madsen very up & down, Zmarzlik won't retain world title on that form. But Lambert is joint top of leader board & roll on Wednesday in Bydgoszcz 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 1,497 Posted July 4, 2020 Torun track was not as good at usual Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stewmac 469 Posted July 5, 2020 Disappointingly poor Toruń track. If I was involved with OneSport, I'd be having a strong word with the track team there, to ensure they make a much better job of it for the final round at the end of the month. No real excuses. They've had 10 months to get it right. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,137 Posted July 5, 2020 Terrible race track, most of the time I couldnt believe I was watching a meeting fro Torun. Processional racing after first half lap a lot of the time. Good to see NP up there with them still. Madsen at times showed his true skills, but the star of the night was Robert Lambert, now I can see how the injuries carried into last year were holding him back, hop he can keep up the good form. Zmarzlick, well he was going to win it or be an also ran. Lets face it, he was the wild card, probably not going to be in any other rounds, therefore no chance of winning the title, so why bust a gut. He did what he did and got some practice in against a field of (mostly) top guys. Disappointing one was Gregory Laguta - impressive when on form, which he was not. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iainb 4,962 Posted July 5, 2020 Any idea what the crowd attendance was last night? It looked pretty sparse to me, well short of the 25% capacity, especially surprising on a public that have been starved of live sport for so long. The Poles seem to give the SEC the thumbs down for some reason, not sure why? I wonder what the attendance would be like should a round ever be held in the UK? I think I'd go along to view a few riders I'd never seen before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigcatdiary 3,164 Posted July 5, 2020 The track was terrible especially early doors when Red won pretty much as it liked. It really is about time these big events were given too tracks who can provide a decent race track, it says all when the event winner slates the surface as super slick. Its fairly obvious that to produce a slick surface is easy but a racing track that provides different racing lines is more difficult, I have attended Torun for GP,s in the past and it’s been excellent in previous meetings so it can be done. It would also have been better (for the spectators) if we had a referee who could actually see officiating at these meetings and a commentator who doesn’t always talk incessant garbage. Ermolenko was a very good rider but he is a crap commentator, please let Rowe and Goddard do it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buttons 370 Posted July 5, 2020 Could agree more, anyone watching for the first time would certainly have switched over in the beginning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suggest you make yourself a bingo card and sit down with your dobber in your hand and mark off all the different ways to mangle up Woryna's name... Verona, Veroyni, Veroni I always wonder how he introduces himself... probably just Sam, to be safe 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
