bruno 1,790 Posted October 17, 2020 I'm hanging onto my nss ticket hoping they see sense and move the date. If they announce October officially il get the refund. October in Manchester isn't for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,258 Posted October 17, 2020 I quite enjoyed the anticipation of unpredictability tonight. Birkermose looked good, as did Zmarzlik and Lindgren. Shame Kemp didn't get a ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marksman 536 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) So Australia rode their 4 heats against the teams who finished in the top 4, Russia, Poland, Denmark and Sweden.. If they'd got to ride against GB and the Czechs they would of been making the top 3 easily, just shows how ridiculous calling a meeting part-way through is. Mark Lemon was quite right to be a bit pissed off! Edited October 17, 2020 by Marksman 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Russia could have used Grigory Laguta and Vadim Tarasenko who are two top riders. You just have to accept that this era belongs to Russia, they have the best speedway riders and are world champions.

Thought he was bigger than what was right for his nation. ...and this is the first ( and perhaps last) time that I agree with Steve Shovlar. There are better riders in Poland than Wozniak, but because Janowski and Pawlicki last year had doctor's certificate to prove that they were not feeling well enough to represent Poland in a "mickey mouse'" international, he rejected them this year Poland's representatives in a FIM event.

Mark Lemon was quite right to be a bit pissed off! But thats a very basic rule in speedway, after 50% of the meeting the results can be declared. Sometimes it goes your way, more often it dont.
