Speedway World Cup 2017

[NickRushbrook 202]

Poland take it the most seriously on every level and thus deserve the Championship.

 

Realistically, they will only get stronger so a lot of work to be done by all nations to keep pace.

Dirty Dudek in heat 19

[Steve Shovlar 10,439]

As a meeting pretty decent. Poland had it easy on home soil, and result was never in doubt. The second event and playoff were much better meetings than tonight.

 

Whilst the money is in Poland, their riders will be on bikes tuned to go so fast no one can really compete.

[NickRushbrook 202]

Harris has still got it.

 

Very tenacious there.

Well done Poland. Would have been nice if Cookie and Lambert had turned up.

[mikebv 10,284]

Cook has ridden like the whole event has got to him. Stiff on a bike and riding like he isn't interested, although that is not the case.

 

Really he should have beaten Kudriashov but not even close.

Every race he has taken completely the wrong lines whether in front or behind...

 

That smaller track at Cardiff hopefully will help him get over tonight..

Do people still think Roscos tactics were correct? We have no tactical options tonight. Had Lambert been in reserve and one of King/Nicholls been in the team we could have at least given them a couple of rides rather than Cook and Lambert.

That last heat showed how Lambert can ride once the pressure's off, these lads must have been blown away by this crowd.

 

Well done Poland, easily the best team in the world. Special mention for Lindback, been inspired tonight.

[Steve Shovlar 10,439]

We should look at it objectively. We got further than the Aussies, Latvia and Denmark. We ran the Russians close for bronze and really should have got third. Cook and Lambert croaked completely.

[Mark 1,497]

Rude awakening for Cook and Lambert to top level racing.

Buahahahaha!!! Watch this heat again and say that Zmarzlik has no skill but only horsepower!!!! Besides getting cgears and stuff correctly attuned to surface IS speedway!

Not what I'm saying. Riding both the British an Polish tracks require skill, just different style. Hopefully Belle Vue should prepare the British riders better for these types of tracks.

Seeing Antonio scored 20 looks like he could compete

Cook has always been stiff on the bike no style just fast in straight line when in front unfortunately he is not going to see the front at this level very often.
