sparkafag 746 Posted July 29, 2016 I think an Australian has a point re the host nation being seeded to the Final, it isn’t like it is ever going to be held in Australia and under normal circumstances it is pretty unlikely either Czech or Team GB would make the Final 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Bookies (Sporting Index) have Australia slight Favourites for tonight and they cant split the Yanks and the Danes. I tend to agree that the Aussies look just the stronger, but would love to see Russia do it. How can they know, most of the teams are not confirmed yet, Russia and Australia could all bring in riders that did not ride last Sat or Tues. With reference to the host nation being seeded through to the final, I agree with those that say they should only be seeded through to the run off and two teams should go through from the run off.

Mark 1,497 Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) http://tinyurl.com/js3npuj Very disrespectful from Doyle. His team wasn't good enough in the event 2 and he knows being up against Denmark & Russia that there's a good chance he won't make the final so he can then blame that on us being seeded. I hope Australia finish 3rd tonight with him having a very poor night. Doyle says Denmark would be weaker with Pedersen in the team. No punches pulled. Has the Aussie won anything in his career ?

Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted July 29, 2016 Hmm... Just in case do you know anyone who can 'work his magic' on a wet track for two hours before the meeting is called off? I certainly wouldn't call on Buster if that's what you're getting at. I actually think he's losing his touch to be fair. Stuck in his ways 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Flag 454 Posted July 29, 2016 Doyle says Denmark would be weaker with Pedersen in the team. No punches pulled. Has the Aussie won anything in his career ? I think he's in danger of starting to believe he's a super star 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawkins20 116 Posted July 29, 2016 Doyle says Denmark would be weaker with Pedersen in the team. No punches pulled. Has the Aussie won anything in his career ? Nope. He will hardly achieve anything, definitely cant get in the same class as Nicki and deep down he knows it, thats why he tries to pick on him. He always fails big time, although not as big as Hancock with his statement, that was comedy gold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spanner47 336 Posted July 29, 2016 How can they know, most of the teams are not confirmed yet, Russia and Australia could all bring in riders that did not ride last Sat or Tues. Not many betting firms guess, but this lot do, hence I've won a fortune over the years selling teams. I doubt the teams will be that much different than those expected though, and even if the Danes bring in someone, they wont improve the team by a great deal. They also used to put GP prices up between GP's, they soon stopped that after getting clobbered when us punters found out about a serious injury before they did.

DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted July 29, 2016 So Hancock just rode to make sure that USA will be in the main event again next year or what? Poor show and sad for the Germans who now miss out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
