speedibee 3,091 Posted July 29, 2016 Disappointed about Hancock dropping out as it now makes it three team event, I fancy the Russian to make the Final. I really hope you are right . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nw42 2,053 Posted July 29, 2016 Bit late in the day I know but anyone travelling be aware that the M6 northbound is very congested according to the traffic report on Radio 2 just now. A34 might be favourable for anyone stuck in heavy traffic, best of luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,345 Posted July 29, 2016 Plenty of 'material' down on the track.... Looks like a good bit of grip available.... Tetley Bitter in the bar though on the west stand Cant have everything...😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted July 29, 2016 Hancock's attitude toward the SWC run-off is disgusting.. This will surely changed the fans perception of him. Most of whom was of the impression he was this great ambassador for this sport, but the truth is he is no better than all the rest. Self, self , self My respect for him has taken a massive downturn....... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if the decision was genuinely made for the benefit of the younger rider it was made with not one iota of consideration for the paying public, not one..

Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Why oh why Denmark have Bjerre in there team in front of Nicki or PK is ridiculous as he is a real weak link. Well Nicki preferred to go on vacation rather than represent his country in the semi final. If a rider cant be bothered wwith the semi then he might jjust as well be left outside for the race off / final. I think PK still isn't fit from a crash a few weeks ago.

I've tried the main stand and the back straight but really want to see a meeting from the pit bend terrace. Either way I'm sure there isn't a bad view in the house, that temp stand looks really impressive in photos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,069 Posted July 29, 2016 I am in E section of the grandstand but there doesn't look a bad view from anywhere in the place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topaz325 1,861 Posted July 29, 2016 US teams choice about the team but it does not seem right to me, would rather see the Germans there now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry 1,319 Posted July 29, 2016 Where's Max Ruml? He looked as if he had some talent there. Think the USA would have just as well brought Doug Nicol over as well! Plus the announcer could have shouted, "let's get ready to Ruml!!!" before his races. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted July 29, 2016 if the USA really wanted to plan for the future, Fisher and Janniro shouldnt be there either, with Ruml's brother and Manzares there too 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Self, self , self My respect for him has taken a massive downturn....... That's always been my opinion of him & will never understand why so many Brits like him.

Nicki had that agreement with the old Danish manager & holiday was booked before Hans took over. Agree though that loyalty is important but it won't be if they don't qualify tonight.

mdmc82 2,878 Posted July 29, 2016 Nicholls speaks about needing team spirit. That's something our team might lack as they haven't trained together or spent time together. Rosco isn't great at getting teams motivated as we have noticed sometimes when heads are down. It's good to see Tai there tonight in the pits with the Aussie team 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
