From there on in it was one way traffic. Think tonight showed that the RS system has been a success for some riders Palin was good for a 1* but the best RS for the season has to be Tom Brennan he will go far if he steers clear of injuries, rode so well tonight when under pressure in races and he was in the end Bewley best back up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

r8gdp 461 Posted October 14, 2021 Understand that col mate but unfortunately the top riders choose to race there so in my eyes racing against the top lads makes you sharper 9 minutes ago, Col said: You think Elitserin is better than what we have? From what I've watched, it's predictable with very uneven teams & the racing is generally poor. It obviously pays worthwhile as most of the top GP riders returned towards the end of the year... that saidt he use of squads means riders don't always get called upon. Don't think Lejonen used Lambert for the last half of the season until the playoffs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A fantastic sport, sadly undermined and undersold by the very ones who underpin it with cash... Can never cross over into mainstream sports or wider media due to the way it's ran, but still a great spectacle and night out if you don't take the team element too seriously and just enjoy what can truly be (uniquely) a breathtaking sport.... As shown particularly on Monday and to a lesser, (but still entertaining enough), degree tonight... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lurcher 52 Posted October 14, 2021 Well done to the Peterborough and Belle Vue. A really good final and 2 great matches. Feels really good to say ‘Panthers’ 2021 champions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted October 14, 2021 Everyone from the Management to the team and to the guests we've had along the way deserve a massive pat on the back. Thank you everyone. We've had some banter on the forum this year and I hope members will realise I'm only joking half of the time rather than taking it serious. Roll on 2022.

A fantastic sport, sadly undermined and undersold by the very ones who underpin it with cash... If only there were more ready to underpin it with cash! What tonight showed was that close meetings with racing that's not first from the gate will attract the fans. I can honestly say t of hat the meetings I have attended this season very few, if any, were like this. Speedway has the home advantage problem - if only more were like Belle Vue and to some extent the Showground. I hope Lynn and Ipswich do better next season as well. There needs to be persistent competition throughout the season I fear that we're going to have a riser shortage next season and that may create further problems - we've seen clubs struggle with rider demands this season. I do hope the powers that control the sport take a rational view. This final has shown us what a great sport speedway can be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
