alan_boon 1 Posted June 25, 2011 Well, first 5 heats and it's business as usual - horribly slick track with passing at a premium. When will they learn? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted June 25, 2011 lol and the riders were so hopeful after practice ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alan_boon 1 Posted June 25, 2011 It's the way no-one will say it - the commentators, interviewers and riders, all pretending it's a good track. Gate and go a-go-go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,677 Posted June 25, 2011 well I'm enjoying it. Not much happening for the rider in front but some good battles for 2nd & 3rd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alan_boon 1 Posted June 25, 2011 Hmm, just expect better, though god knows why! 8 wins from gate 4 out of 11 races - joke! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alan_boon 1 Posted June 25, 2011 I think you're watching the wrong sport. Yeah, curse me and my desire for racing! Anyway, decent race at last - go Emil! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brandonbee48 1,194 Posted June 25, 2011 I think you're watching the wrong sport. Got to say that i think it has been very good. Crump/Sayfutdinov- surely that was worth the price of admission. Also nice to see a competitive Kolodziej again. Alan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manchesterpaul 447 Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) Well, first 5 heats and it's business as usual - horribly slick track with passing at a premium. When will they learn? Not singling yourself out personally Alan as you are one of many early posters who make the same mistake repeatedly regarding such comments as "business as usual" and "when will they ever learn?" When will early posters ever learn that after thousands upon thousands of meetings over decades upon decades the initial heats can often contain little passing. As a speedway meeting goes on one often gets an increase in overtaking. So yes, thankfully it is business as usual and woweeeeeee some more fantastic racing just now.

Do you think that on a world championship track the winner from the first few races should come out of just one gate the, that's more the moan than anything ......

alan_boon 1 Posted June 25, 2011 Do you think that on a world championship track the winner from the first few races should come out of just one gate the, that's more the moan than anything ...... Yup, gate 1 has produced just 9 points from 14 races. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
celticboy 10 Posted June 25, 2011 Some nice video montages with Boycie laying Gollob flat, and the Nicholls/Safutdinov punch-up. Including Holloway (who really should have been handed a pit ban for that) being a "hard man" when it was all over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alan_boon 1 Posted June 25, 2011 When was the last time Gollob didn't make a semi-final? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manchesterpaul 447 Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) Someone update Sky that Gollob is out. UPDATE Oh for goodness sake Sky get your act together, they still a race later not got a clue. Gollob is ALREADY OUT! Zetterstrom was ALREADY ahead of Gollob with more second places. Edited June 25, 2011 by manchesterpaul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
