Garry1603 353 Posted April 23, 2010 I think that Pedersen might win tomorrow with Gollob as usual being close. Crump might still be feeling the injuries and settle for a semi final slot at this stage of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manchesterpaul 447 Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) 6 is now in.......J.Kolodziej (0) He always was inserted into number 6 in my own spreadsheet that i use once i saw the blank place appear. At first with the long delay after the drawing of number 5 i presumed someone had dropped a ball!, however, even then i soon realised the reason. Although, not until after thinking maybe they can't spell one of those polish names with 'c' 'z' and 's' all over the joint. I got the hang of that now as well mind Dont worry Paul the video feed of the draw will be on the website later surely with the girls in full view ! I was sadly misled though It was seeing a video on the site from last year that i had on my mind, i just presumed it meant the draw was fed live as well. Don't get me wrong i was disappointed from a speedway point of view as well lol, honestly i was. Draw Update Edit OK....i know i was wrong but.....girlfriend at work so i'm all alone this evening....yep i just gone and watched the video lol. Points to be noted post video viewing......wow wow some things ARE worth waiting for......is the old guy doing the draw not interested in women any longer? only why so quick? forget riders being delayed by volcanic ash, i would have took forever......i also would have dropped the cubes they used many times and naturally asked whichever four people should be standing besides me to bend down and pick them up please......a genuine observation, it can't be easy to stand there mute and smiling for five minutes, the girls are actually very good at their 'job'......have you ever seen the horror that is the NASCAR girl after one of their races?.......believe me you'll never fear Jack Nicholson and his axe chopping through your door again.......she has the most horrifying fixed rigid american beauty queen type smile.......pure stepford wives style - fearsome! Touching on a few other things pre-GP I mentioned the end of last season that this year's series should be one of the best with at least three in contention, also other good racers in the line up. I wait with bated breath to see if the biggest boost to the GP's occurs. I refer to the departure of Ole Olsen from the post of race director and a significant change in the preparation of the tracks under the new holder of the post Tony Olsson. Most people last season after seeing him be interviewed (and i remember reading an article a short while after) took it that there was to be an instant wholesale change. However, at the time i thought he worringly avoided stating that would be the case out and out. Hopefully, he was just trying not to offend or sleight Ole Olsen's previous work? Certainly the Speedway Star are also adopting a wait and see stance judging from their article 'The Leszno Question'. On the plus side, i think it was on Sky Sports, this week someone stated the track had been given permission to prepare a 'league match' type surface. So can't wait and fingers crossed that Chris Harris doesn't turn out to be a TOTAL bust (or if he gets injured) or it will be a long year without british representation in the series*. Now that he is a Belle Vue rider let's hope that Hans Andersen returns to his top form and becomes yet another genuine contender for the title. *Apologies i just realised that Tai Woffinden is technically representing Britain. I just can't get used to the australian accent , no more than i could ever accept a heavily south african accented cricketer being claimed as english when interviewed on tv. Or does he actually live in the UK now, as in, has been here since a very small child? I seem to remember a thread a while ago which touched upon the fact he doesn't reside here and every single cultural favourite 'this that and the other' on his website is australian. Having said that, i guess quite understandable if he was brought up in Australia. If he, on the whole, is a permanent resident over here since a child (although as i say worryingly strong accent would tend to suggest not?) then all is fine and dandy. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to go (non)home after the season ends to grab the beautiful weather over there. Anyways, whichever flag he decides to bear publicly and in his heart - the two aren't always the same, look at the increasing number of polish flags of convenience that are carried - i strongly wish him all the best in the series. He definitiely is one of my favourite riders and should do the GP's proud. Further to the last point, surely we will not get the farce of a polish anthem being played if Emil Sayfutdinov wins? Whilst appreciating he is riding on a polish licence, he is russian of birth etc. If someone takes up a profession in a different country to their birth, they have a licence to work which is under the flag of that country, however, it doesn't change their nationality to that of the licence. I mean do we have factory workers, shelf stackers, fruit pickers etc from abroad who are part of a union over here, and in effect have a british licence to work here temporarily, claim full british nationality?

Magnus Zetterström said on his facebook, practice went well, slick track tomorrow so I've adjusted the bikes to suit the track.
