Guest Schumi Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) I think its something to do with the gate positions later in the meeting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is. Inside gates early on and outside as the dirt moves, so I believe. Edit: Sube get out of my head. Edited July 20, 2007 by Schumi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
i_support_no_team 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Quelle surprise - the favoured blue helmet goes to Poland. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do you have any knowhow of why blue is favoured? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheetahsrback 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Do you have any knowhow of why blue is favoured? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> as you watch meetings you see the dirt moves out and is an advantage to have the outside in the latter stages and the inside at the early stages, of course that is all well and good saying that but you have to gate to get there obviously.

I wouldnt say i agree it's a general speedway thing, although I do mainly watch GP's and a halndful of Elite League Meetings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mateusz 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Can't understand why Poland have replaced Balinski with Holta, Balinsky did quite well on Thursday. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A stupid decision IMHO but time will tell.. Anyway, the team's 80% Polish again Leaving tomorrow morning to spend the whole day in Leszno enjoying the atmosphere of SWC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
i_support_no_team 0 Posted July 20, 2007 I just did my own race by race points predictions and it looks like GB will be able to use the Joker very early on (is it actually possible to use it by heat 5?) It looks to me like Denmark are very consistent and this may prove their downfall as I worked out a 1 point win for Denmark however this was without Poland or Australia using any Jokers or replacements but I did have them 6 points or more behind at certain stages so on that basis Poland would scrape home However with 25 heats I will probably be wrong in at least 24 of them so who knows what will happen but I'd love to bet the outcome will be undecided going into the last race Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted July 20, 2007 Quelle surprise - the favoured blue helmet goes to Poland. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd like to have seen the draw. Sky should have filmed this and shown it before the meeting started to prove it's all above board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shazzybird 10 Posted July 21, 2007 I'd like to have seen the draw. Sky should have filmed this and shown it before the meeting started to prove it's all above board. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So does anyone know how the draw for gates is done? we see in the GP's that first through get the choice, if this is the case then I would of expected the Danes to go for Blue unless they know something we don't if they did and went for another gate and then it was our choice I'd like to think Middlo would of gone for Blue. If it's a case of 1st Through gets Red etc.... then we should surely have Blue Come on TEAM GB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
