dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted May 12, 2013 Adam has made a superb start at Ipswich. I have been incredibly impressed with his race awareness as much as his speed - he has posted the 2nd fatest time EVER at Foxhall already! Yes he has some rough edges - eg overlocking - but he is every bit the exciting prospect he is being touted as. The most important part of all is that he seems to have a determination to go with his talent and doesnt seem the 'big I am' type who thinks he has already made the big time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted May 12, 2013 Good for him.Of course it is unfair to meet one rider twice and he also is right that it could be that the last heat is on paper his easiest.He could also be excluded or fall even if it is an easy heat.That is what gets me though with the Longtrack.I look sometimes at the scores and often two riders meet each other twice whilst not meeting another in the qualifiers before the semi's..... Not only the losers complaining.One of the riders who has made it through has stated he hopes he never has to go to Ukraine again!!! Well he should think himself lucky he doesn't have the trip to Argentina haha Also would like to say it was a promising performance from the two Brits.Howarth a but unlucky maybe,but Adam Ellis i thought got a very good result for someone so young and relatively new to the scene.Could have a couple of riders who at least have continental experience if Robert Lambert developes the way many hope. I was going through some old sanoma's and there it said that when Finland was there for the U21 world cup, Krister Gardell was the ref and had promised that he would write such recommendations from the meeting that they would never host FIM meetings again... There's was some dodgy scrutineering and stuff like that. Just a thought, but usually all the riders need to have same amount of rides when meeting is stopped. Now one of the reserves only had three. Should the results be declared after 12 instead of 16? Would not help Timo Lahti, but mess up someone else and make the ref look stupid... I'll look into this deeper!!!!!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,997 Posted May 12, 2013 It might also be worth having a limit on any nations numbers getting through.It does seem ridiculous that all the qualifiers from 1 round can come from one country!!!We have seen limits in other competitions.It is unfair that you can meet one rider two times and a weaker rider not at all in this situation.But really all riders should know that before the start.....bad news for Finland of course.Sweden also surprisingly weak.Well at least expected Thörnblom to do better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted May 12, 2013 I dont see how the reserves scores can possible count. If I was Lahti/Finland and Bjerre/Denmark Id be arguing this one. If it's allowed it make the sport a bigger farce than before - well, actually, KK won the U21 title by wining a coin toss, so maybe not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

racers and royals 8,736 Posted June 18, 2013 1 of the wildcards for the Pila round must surely be Pawel Przedpelski. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boobs 140 Posted June 25, 2013 Interesting on wildcards -- does this mean the wildcards at Berwick might not be British? Although I'd expect Kyle Howarth to be there (not only deserving, but northerm-based and a great attraction for Workington supporters to travel across country) is it possible that -- for instance -- David Bellego could be nominated? Or Max Fricke? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
