pandorum 1,259 Posted July 15, 2013 Fair play to the Latvians, think they made everyone sit up and take notice. However if Russia had been at `full` strength then Latvia would probably have come last. There is no 'probably' about it but credit where it is due they gave a good account of themselves as did the Russian substitute team. Makes you wonder what benefit SWC gets from Monster who were supposed to be going to bring some great presentation to SWC which was self evidently lacking when you look at the size of the crowd in Poland. A bunch of not that great looking women holding a board with a number on and some free energy drinks aside not a lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BWitcher 12,453 Posted July 15, 2013 Actually when you look at just who will likely be in the race off they probably stand out as favourites! Just goes to show that this prestigious event is fast becoming a bit of a joke. The race off could be interesting for all the wrong reasons, which of the under strength teams will win on the day. You never know , GB just might start out as favourites on Thursday! Why a joke? Injuries are part of the sport and that's what have weakened Sweden, Australia etc. The Russian situation is different, although they often flatter to deceive anyway (Emil aside).

2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted July 15, 2013 Dakota North's in for Davey Watt according to polish sources. Huge gamble throwing Dak in but he has the ability to pull it off. But not the bikes! As he doesn't have a team mate will probably do ok though...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,834 Posted July 15, 2013 Why a joke? Injuries are part of the sport and that's what have weakened Sweden, Australia etc. The Russian situation is different, although they often flatter to deceive anyway (Emil aside). Of course injuries are, the Russian thing i agree is separate but needs addressing quickly. I agree with others that had Russia as one of the favourites because as a top 3 they are as good as any on offer. Thursday however will lack any real drama (unless the racing is top notch) because non of the teams progressing has any chance of winning - unlike in other years. The winners of the race off will be battling for 3rd IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shale Shaker 106 Posted July 15, 2013 On a side note, Why doesn't Davey Watt use Chris Holder's bikes? I'm guessing now, but perhaps it's because their Chris Holder's bikes, not Davey Watts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
