Polish Xtra/nice Leagues/etc Live On Tv
Mark replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Boring meeting for neutrals with limited close racing and passing. Strange for this track. -

A GP marred by a huge inside gate bias. -

Ridiculous that Bomber gets thrown out for that. Rider on the inside always goes but it was a dive from Kildermand. Its easy to get a nudge from the rider inside and then slip off. -
Wildcards 2017.....

Have to agree with you. -
Wildcards 2017.....
Mark replied to Panthers89's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
With Pedersen out of the series it means 10th placed Lindgren has to make 11pts on 8th placed Lindback to get top 8. Iversen is 13 points behind. Tough for both riders to bridge the gap so the top 8 quite likely to remain the same as we are now. Wilds card Pedersen, Iversen certainties. Not sure about the other 2. -

AJ will not ride. http://speedwaygp.com/news/article/5250/aj-withdraws-from-stockholm-sgp Kim Nilsson takes his place. -
Agree. Something that should be looked at in 2017

Doubt any of the riders could see where they were going with so much dust. I assume you mean if Ward had sad "I don't want Pedersen's help". I would have respected Ward for saying it. Like I said in my first post Ward is happy to take the money Pedersen raised but still slags him off on a public forum. Maybe THANK YOU should be the words used towards someone who helps you in bad times. I doubt Ward will ever do that which says a lot about the man he is. -
You go to Cardiff on holiday ? Costa De Tiger Bay

Nicki Pedersen Injured.
Mark replied to foamfence's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Ward said he wished some else had won the Euro's which is fine. It's only a view. But then he responded to Kenneth Hansen saying Pedersen tried to fence him 7 times and that he had a memory like an elephant, I don't forget. All this said before Pedersen's crash the next day. But Ward seems to forget that Pedersen raised cash for him. If he had an elephant memory he should have said he didn't want Pedersen's help before he raised the cash and refused his gesture. Cant have it both ways. -
Any clues where the 4 rounds in the 2016 Euro's will take place. Some good racing this season.

AJ hoping to ride. http://speedwaygp.com/news/article/5235/aj-racing-on-eggshells -
I agree. Rybnik must be one of the worst Polish tracks. A weird choice.

Golden Helmet Weekend Pardubice 16-18th September
Mark replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
If its only a hour to Pardibuce, and said to be a far better track, has the option be investigated ? Plenty of tracks are further from a large town as with teterow and Gorzow. . -

no chance of that. -
Wildcards 2017.....
Mark replied to Panthers89's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I would like to see Emil back in the GP's but does he deserve a wild card ? It was his choice to drop out so maybe he should earn his spot by, for one season, doing the GP challenge. Win or lose come back 2018. -

was not watching but he rides very safe now. Rarely gets in the mix as he did a few years ago. Hancock must have had a word. -
Wildcards 2017.....
Mark replied to Panthers89's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I hope so. He won the Euro's last night and looked on form with fast bikes. Has to be a certainty to get a wild card. -
In this weeks Star Peter Oakes reports about Dale Entwhistle quitting the sport as a referee. Plenty of reasons why he has quit but he says "riders don't appreciate we don't make the rules we just enforce them" In the Sheffield v Rye report the Star's own reporter Paul Rickett complains of a 'jobsworth decisions from the referee's box". He gives two examples where the ref excluded a rider for breaking a rule. Rickett doesn't say the decisions were wrong so I'll assume they were made correctly but he's not happy about the ref enforcing them. If the trade mag can't back a ref for doing his job correctly then we are in the mire. Its a pathetic piece of reporting.

So he went on to the infield and was excluded. The ref was right and followed the rule.

Excellent 2016 series but where will they be going in 2017 ? Any ideas ?
