Scott0311 94 Posted July 14, 2007 After the euphoria of the British GP and the quality racing served up Ole really has brought speedway crashing back down to earth again. No airfence, no passing (unless riders made the mistake of looking for non-existant grip on the outside and got passed up the inside on the one line available) and no way I want to see a meeting like that again.

full-throttle 182 Posted July 14, 2007 absolute disgrace, all the good work at cardiff was undone tonight, for anyone who watched tonight for the first time might make it the last time too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnPhelan 1 Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) I don't blame the Danish riders for this diabolical spectacle. They had a track built for them, so they took their chance with both hands. This was a poor advert for the sport at International level, especially after the fantastic event that the British GP was. This meeting was finished as a spectacle by about heat 10. The track wasn't going to provide enough grip to provide any interesting racing, and it was blatantly obvious that the Finns were going to finish last. Neither the Australians nor the Poles are fazed about the race-off in Lezno, and with no benefit to a team finishing 2nd rather than 3rd in the first round, does the format of this competition need looking at? Can't agree with you SCB. If the leading rider is clamped on the white line, with rubber smoke pouring from his tyre 'cos he's riding on concrete, what choice does any following rider have but to try his heart out around the outside and hope he forces his opponent into an error, but admittedly exposing himself to being passed? Some of these riders are racers, and don't want to settle for 2nd or 3rd. On a circuit like this, it is much, much easier for a rider to control a race, and consequently close to impossible for anyone to make a pass inside other than off the start.

London Witch 57 Posted July 14, 2007 I'm a big fan of the SWC but this was the worst meeting ever. Hope things improve for the rest of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bezza 20 Posted July 14, 2007 Agree, sub standard track prep and a fine example of how NOT to attract new supporters.......absolutely shocking!! I fear the meeting at Coventry will be much of same, but with better track prep.....and assuming team GB will go straight through, the Play-off meeting could also be in danger of being a poor meeting with Poland & Australia head and shoulders above anything that may be put in front them. It's not all bad news tho as in my opinion the Final itself has the makings of a classic. Bez. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
