Yes he did beat Pepe in a run off.

If you just watched GB in the meeting trailing at the back I would agree it was pants, If you watched it as a speedway fan, It was truly the dogs wotsits

Did the Danes really play by the rules throughout the whole tournament? Call me a cynic but did you see the way the track was prepared by Ole Olsen in Vojens for the Danish Team? If you ask me that was prepared perfectly for the Danish Team - Is that playing by rules?

I agree the system in this country is poor for bringing through talent. The sport needs to put its hands deep into its pockets and get a proper system in place. But I think the problem goes far deeper. There are major problems with the way the whole sport is set up in this country and we must get these problems sorted before we can sort a proper system for bringing kids through.

Bloody good meeting Yes maybe the Danes would have won if the meeting was on another track, But I would rather see a meeting like tonights instead of the rubbish the Danes served up at Vojens. The GB racers would not have even been there if the qualifiers had not been in at Coventry. We are a 2 man team....... Yes I agree to a degree we should be looking at meetings in Germany, Italy and Norway in the future but would you get the racing and atmosphere the Poles dish up? I dont think so. Do we want weaker nations in the final? I dont think so we need the best teams in the World battling it out. Its time for Middlo to step down and let some one new and fresh have a crack at the job. Martin Dugard gets my vote.....

I think we need a someone that is passionate, wears his heart on his sleeve, Understands bike setups and understands what it takes to race and win. I originally said David Norris maybe David is a little on the young side, So what about Martin Dugard. He has raced and won at the top level, Is British through and through and wears his heart on his sleeve. Knows about track and bike preparation.

I would put my mortgage on Pepe taking his place in the next round.
