brandonbee48 1,194 Posted September 19, 2015 You gotta wonder if this is the same Antonio that hardly scored a point in the GP-challenge? I've said previously that he is a total enigma. "The Yo Yo Kid" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 21,037 Posted September 19, 2015 You gotta wonder if this is the same Antonio that hardly scored a point in the GP-challenge? Wonder if he was somehow on Harris's bike and Chris was on Antonios and after the meeting they noticed the mistake and now everything is back to normal 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted September 19, 2015 Let's hope Anton gets the win and Nicki finishes 3rd so we get a run-off too! (Or 3nd and 4th) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brandonbee48 1,194 Posted September 19, 2015 Congratulations to Emil. A fantastic talent. Also what a great meeting on such a well prepared track. Well done Ostrow. Join you guys tomorrow for Polski Sunday. Take care. Alan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted September 19, 2015 What an awful choice from Lindback to take Gate 1. The result was pretty obvious from that point, he was fortunate to get 3rd. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
customhouseregular 1,651 Posted September 19, 2015 1) Fans of my generation who were weaned on speedway at Custom House and Hyde Road know a race track when we see one. The SEC and tracks like Ostrow have the edge over GP's at tracks like Cardiff...for me anyway. 2) I don't pretend to know what's going on with Emil, his advisers, the Russian Federation or the GP organisers, but the series without Emil is a travesty. Absolutely no disrespect to Tai or Greg, but winning the World Championship when the double-European Champion and arguably the world's best rider is not competing slightly diminishes the achievement...for me anyway. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Total nonsense. Was Peter Collins win in 76 diminished by Olsen not competing. Was Olsens 78 win diminished by PC not competing. Emil has simply proved what a weak individual he is by allowing himself to be manipulated like he has, maybe he has shown he doesnt have the make up to be world champion 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panthers89 1,922 Posted September 19, 2015 Agreed and to think accused Kildemand in a GP for going down too easily, makes a mockery looking at that one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pause it as there's cintact and he's shoved his foot into the back of Pawlicki clearly looking for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is EXACTLY what OneSport want fans to start to think and claim. Seems many fans are gullible enough too as well. Whoever is World Champion this year, their achievement isn't diminished in the slightest. Nor will it be next year. If Emil can't be bothered to enter or more precisely, isn't allowed to enter, then tough, he's a complete non-entity. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
longlivefrankie 458 Posted September 20, 2015 If emil l wants to be recognised as one of the best riders in the world he needs to be in the world championship. He is clearly is in comparison but you got to be in it to win it and records will show he won the European championship. Whoever wins the world championship is not deminished by anybody not being in it imo 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted September 20, 2015 Regarding Emil's arm, I've seen comments that it was just dislocated so I can see why someone night mistake that for a broken arm. So initially the involved parties might have thought that arm was broken but it later turned out to be a dislocation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
