iNikeAguero 1 Posted July 16, 2011 no it was the poole castle cover chokers Ward and Watt cost them. Holder and Batch at the Showground next season would be amazing. Batchelor was superb and he managed to beat Gollob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,855 Posted July 16, 2011 Tremendous race to finish. Good to see Kenny top scoring for the Danes who were rather disappointing to be fair. Lindgren and Jonasson very impressive for the Swedes; Crump, Holder and Batch for the Aussies. Well done to Poland but hope somebody else wins it next year, becoming a tad boring!

Marmite 84 Posted July 16, 2011 Well done to Poland but hope somebody else wins it next year, becoming a tad boring! Trouble is, no other nation as the talent coming through like they do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
celticboy 10 Posted July 16, 2011 Despite the utter bullrubbish joker situation, the ridiculous machine doctoring and referee decisions, it was a good meeting. From heat 9 on, it was clearly australia not wanting to give in that kept the race alive. Utterly disgusted by the polish team. 5 obviously talented riders that felt the need to cheat.

SCB 15 Posted July 16, 2011 Should have put Crumpy in heat 24 - Holder has a joker record similar to that of Scott Nicholls. Would have also given him the chance to tweak the set up for heat 25. Probably wouldn't have been enough because the Poles would have got 2nd twice but still flawed tactically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marko 956 Posted July 16, 2011 Very good meeting and i give it 8/10 would have been a 9 if it had been a bit closer at the end but thats life, Poland are truly the dominant force. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lupus 1 Posted July 16, 2011 I can't believe that people are moaning about this meeting. Every team got to use the joker so there was no advantage there and Pedersen spends half his life on his backside anyway so the fall is no great surprise. No -one could ever accuse me of being a Pedersen fan but credit to him for getting off the track...people on here normally moan constantly about people NOT getting off the track! Fabulous meeting with some awesome racing...heat 25 was out of this world! Congratulations to Polska...and the wonderful Tomasz Gollob!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iNikeAguero 1 Posted July 16, 2011 Troy Batchelor = 10 Points Darcy Ward = 4 Points Time for Batch to enter the GP scence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marmite 84 Posted July 16, 2011 Every team got to use the joker so there was no advantage there Only as it turned out, and whilst Poland are worthy victors, the joker is just that, a joke. Can you imagine in football if a team goals 2-0 down they are allowed to play the joker that if they score in the next 5 minutes their goal counts for double. Was a great meeting and best result, but the joker rule is a joke when a rider 'appears' to lose points on purpose just to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnc 11 Posted July 16, 2011 Nonsense. Take your time here, but I would love to hear what GP's (on a consistent basis) have been better than the World Cup Final / race off in terms of racing quality and atmosphere. Superb sportsmanship by Crump at the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would have also given him the chance to tweak the set up for heat 25. Probably wouldn't have been enough because the Poles would have got 2nd twice but still flawed tactically. Heat 22 where they lost it, Batchelor should have slowed and let Kolodzej beat him. They could then have used Crump to replace Watt in heat 23. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
