    If you genuinely thought that was atrocious and unprofessional well I think the problem lies with you not them.

     

    Just what do you expect? They're working for Sky who expect a certain style of commentary. You have the right not to like the style but to accuse them of being unprofessional is absolutely out of order.

    Well said that man

    In my original letter to the organisers I have asked the first tand second questions, any reply will be posted. Whilst I can understand him (olsen) being in charge of the temporary tracks, I can't see the benefit of him dictating how other tracks should be prepared. I can only think of the Fiasco in Sweden when the track was unrideable, but from memory that was also a temporary track was it not?

    SVEMO(swedish authorities)prepared the track that year.If the local track people are given the job of preparing the racetracks on the permanent tracks,why do they prepare them far slicker than for other meetings at those tracks ?

    Just to enlighten you all. I recieved a reply from Harry Horsley today, he thanked me for my comments and has passed my letter on to the relevant parties. However, He did inform that the track prep was the responsibility of the FIM. Therefore could we all be being a bit harsh om Olsen? He may after all be only following someone else's wishes. I don't know. If I get a further response I will let you know. However as pointed out by ' The Know' in an earlier reply, Harry Horsley is not the man to get in touch with. If I get a point of contact I will pass it on and each individual can pass on their own feelings, no doubt in a courteous manner.

    Regards Ole Olsen his full title is FIM race director SGP and SWC.He might also be employed by BSI/IMG to build the temporary tracks at Copenhagen and Cardiff.I think its time several points are clarified by the authorities

     

    1 Who is ultimately responsible for track conditions at every GP(does this vary from temporary tracks to permanent ones)

    2 depending on the previous answer what input do BSI have on track prep.

    3 what input does the FIM jury president(the meeting is under his control)have on track conditions.

    4 Do the riders have any input into track conditions either pre-season or before each GP.

     

    If we could get the answers to these questions we all might have a better understanding of how things operate at GP level.

    Could you remind me of that decent racing?

    I was also there and whilst we knew it wasnt the best GP it also wasnt the worst-the atmosphere created by the Polish fans(must have been 98% Poles)was terrific and certainly helped make up the entertainment package.

    I get the sane response. However why don't we all e mail the Head of IMG Motrsports and let him know what we think. In a constructive manner of course!! Will be interesting to see if we get a response.

    my thoughts have been sent, including the fact you can't e mail the Speedway GP Site.

    Correct person to contact is Head of Motorsports-Rob Armstrong at rob.armstrong@imgworld.com

    I would like to think that no one would send anything abusive.
