Those who stayed away might just have made the right decision. Just like your home track then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trackrat 444 Posted June 23, 2018 Three things I've learned today Don't bet. . .Vaclav Milik, after looking unbeatable in the world pairs, turns crap when I put my money down. Sam Ermolenko is the worst commentator in the World The weather, Sun or rain, ruins speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waytogo28 2,054 Posted June 24, 2018 Lambert showed that he could cut the mustard with his last ride, an excellent win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,143 Posted June 24, 2018 Perhaps just as well Milik and Lebedevs are not in the GPs full time this year - as a lot were clamouring for late last year. Stepping up to GP is a big leap. 10 meetings where rider and bike have to be on top form is a big ask - especially for a "newcomer" to the series. Sure, they are spoilers this year, and I do hope some time in the near future one or both are in the GP series and competing at a top level. Solid rides from Lambert. He on a massive learning curve, so last night will have all soaked in a be used for future reference by him. Hope he keeps injury free. Emil seems to be a shadow of his former self. Hate to say that, but he just not riding like he used to. Ok he shows glimpses of what he used to be like, but he not gating, and his bikes seem slow. Hope he can pull it all together. When he was interviewed by Macelana (?) last night, his eyes lit up when she asked about his family. Nothing wrong with that, but I just wonder if his family life is affecting his riding.

Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted June 24, 2018 The standard of some of the rider's in this series is horrid. Polish League Speedway is riding high but some of the youngsters are proper guff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted June 24, 2018 Just lost 2 hours of my life wTching that. The fans in the area already knew it was crap looking at the turnout. Utter guff and to to it the gating tart wins off the inside. Time to bury this second rate comp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,784 Posted June 24, 2018 Not time to bury it at all, just to get all four rounds on decent circuits. The next one in Germany should be very good, would be great to see one at Belle Vue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted June 24, 2018 Well Shovy, I agree that the meeting was bad and that there were very (too) low attendance but it's not that surprising when you take into account that it rained and that it's football world cup. I also think cancelling the SEC because of a bad round. The SGP wasn't buried when there were the bad rounds in Tampere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were really good last season and Lebedevs won the SEC if you remember. Lebedevs have been struggling sofar this season but I think it might be equipment issues because he is still a very good rider IMO. Milik is doing very good this year too. 1.6 in Poland and 1.9 in Sweden so far this season. One shouldn't judge the riders skill/form from this round though since even Emil was poor. The track was rubbish and most often the rider who gated the best won the heat (which is why Hampel won). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
