Are you 97 the way you move you look it, 😀✌️️but the the most important thing is you ent got a CHIN you never will dont battle against it except it just like Lennox Lewis.😜😢🤓😂

Dany Gappmaier --- Walter Grubmuller.

I think they are on that disgrace of a track a track prepared and both will have no problems.To ride that track last night i think you have to attack it which means you take more risks Fricke said it all for me last night.I have never seen him struggle on a bike like he did last night a great technical rider usually smooth he really was fighting with the bike all night.

Really hard this and i will include every era i will get stick for this i believe my top five would be. MAUGER---- FUNDIN------ NIELSEN ------------ J. CRUMP------- BRIGGS. next FIVE no order Olsen Craven Young Duggan Rickardsson.

God what a poor meeting,the track was a disgrace the only plus for me was young Bewley a great riding style fingers crossed for him.

But this is Ivan though, myself i was never a fan but i admired him and he took speedway to another level and his professionalism was second to none. I recon if you asked 10 real speedway fans i would be very surprised if 9/10 of those did not have him in there top 5 all about opinions though "gustix".😜

i would of thought Ivan would of got the nod over Parker,Langton,Milne.

Certainly WK quite right and those championships were never as strong as the ones to qualify for the tough Intrercontinental/Overseas round in the World championships.That round was so tough a graveyard for some i think only three qualified the same as the Australian Round.Riders like S.Moran, K.Moran,Autrey ,Sigalos,King,Schwartz missed out badly over the years.

RIP ILA

I think all of us who have commented on Mike respect him as a rider i certainly do anyway no malice meant on my part. A 7 times USA champion that is one thing no one can ever take away from him.

Autrey came over in 73 and he didn't have a pot to p... in but that hunger and desire was there the same as Dewayne Keeter.At that time the BL was a tough baptism of fire for any newcomer really hard different tracks and conditions and it was a team sport as well.I do actually think Bast would of done well here the talent was there i think he had good equipment but we shall never know now.

Myself personally i would of gone with Bates/Bewley for the U21 spot but eh that is great that Rossiter is showing faith and loyalty in your lad.But did he show the same loyalty to Danny King ? ok now if Robert is out he might have to bring Danny back in.

I thought the under 21 rider should have been Bates or Bewley i know it is way to early for both but it is good experience.Rossiter says he goes for form riders but no disrespect to Adam he has had a mare of a season this England without Woffinden looks desperate.

In the Bast years i would say S.Bast Sexton ,R.Woods,Christian, were the best local americans. Woods did have a stint at Newport was settling in nicely then went home after a dispute but all those last named three could of done well in England i believe.

Most of those meetings though in reality Mauger,Briggo,PC (ect) for them it was a kind of working mans holiday of course they tried but it was not that important.What i would like to know is how many times did Bast actually enter the World Championship we know 1977.I know he entered other years and i think he relinquished his place once or twice.I am sure he had a few laps at Wimbledon one year and i beieved he was going to sign for them but it did not materialise.In 1977 before White City i know he was angry as he was promised laps after meetings but it did not happen so i will give him the benefit of the doubt there regarding White City.

I dont see why any of the top stars would do England again why would they it is a micky mouse league.Maybe if a few had a few weeks spare at the end of the year they might be tempted if the money was right.Doyley i believe has signed a two year deal but it would not surprise me if he did drop England. Our days of ruling the roost and having the best league are long gone never to return in my opinion.That is why i would be in favour of one big league but as we all know we have people in English speedway who cannot work together. Some think only of there own self interests and not the sport in this country as a whole a shame but true.

No Ove ???

I just cant get my head around that statement from Mr Daloisio that it was a certainty that he would of won multiple world titles.🤔

A really good idea hope you are right i fear for Thursday's meeting we could get walloped.

Stancl------- T. Kasper------ Ales Dryml---- Matousek____ L.Dryml. Milik will eventually make the top five.

Carter at Oxford he was in a wheelchair was he not in between races.? Wont phase Doyle though he is a grinder as well as being a class act a great example to others believe in yourself work hard and anything is possible.

What would be interesting i cant be bothered to look back,maybe it could be on Brian Collins website?? was his record at Ascot.? On the little technical tracks yes what a force he would of been but what about the big uns like at Belle Vue,Swindon,Halifax,Sheffield,White City ( outclassed in 77 Penhall was competetive Bast had a superior pedigree to Penhall then) Exeter.All those answers niggle away Penhall and Hancock are two examples without England they would of never of been world champions in my view. I do respect Mr Hyam;s opinion and he has made a very good case from the Americans perspective.

I actually dont take this blokes opinion to seriously to be honest i listen to the likes of Briggs/Mauger and they both rated Bast so that was good anough for me.Also most of us on here respect Bast i certainly do and from interviews seems like a really nice bloke.But to put Bast in front of Autrey and Sigalos for me is a big slur on those two those two did it against world class riders Bast did not.Also i find the Muller/Bast comparison amazing Muller was World Class most of us on my bus who went to Norden in 83 had him favourite we all wanted him in the sweep stake.Bast say for example if he had qualfied for the Coliseum in 1982 and this is my own opinion only even with a month's practice on that track he still would not of been good anough to be World Champion i am convinced of that.The reasons for that is he had not got the experience for one and had not learned the ropes and paid his dues.

Barged really ? did he do anything illegal ? he was brave thats it he will be the 2017 World Champion.

I dont know who this Dalosio bloke is but what he has said here is way off the mark most of us on here know Bast was talented but he didnt go and prove himself.He stayed in his safety zone beat the locals it was a big disapointment to me that Bast did not come to Britain Wimbledon would of been ideal for him.As for this Dalosio bloke where is AUTREY. SiGALOS, in the list it is staggering and as for this quote Bast would of been multi time world champion he is deluded.
