If that was a GP semi final and Nicki was in his prime, Michelsen wouldn't have got past. I think Nicki is becoming more aware of riders getting injured.

He’s been ”good” since he started riding 500cc, also internationally and in the leagues he’s done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 1,497 Posted July 8, 2020 Madsen wins the Euros and also qualifies for the 2021 GP series by being top 5 in 2020 GP's. Does the runner up in 2020 Euros go to the GP's 2021 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ten times better than the borefest of Toruń on Saturday. I thought the same. It’s been a number of years since I watched a meeting from there but tonight’s shows it hasn’t lost any of its magic. What a track 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pedersen should of well and truly shut the door but is probably abit more aware of crashing and getting injured nowadays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted July 8, 2020 At last a real Speedway meeting. excellent racing from the word go... interesting to see they have built a new stand on the back straight... augurs well for the future Bydgoscz worked out as my first league match many years ago and always have fond memories of my visits there 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After saying for around 2 laps that Emil was riding within himself, he then watched him fly around Laguta... And then summarised Emil's victory with......? "I rest my case"... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
