Spot on.. Tremendous entertainment.. I hope Eurosport can deliver the interest that the sport at this level deserves.. When done well, (and properly), this sport has few peers for raw 'wow factor/take your breath away' entertainment.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other than the fact that we weren't good enough to win on home soil?

RedOx69 16 Posted October 3, 2020 Yes the majority of the meetings have been in Poland but as a result we got racing. The rest of the speedway word take note; crappy little tracks with one line and no dirt kills the sport. Bartosz, not unlike last year, would have won this year whatever tracks the meetings were on. He is, as the moment, the best rider in the world. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Poles will be pushing to have it in Poland every year, for the reasons stated here and the TV companies will agree That's the future of Speedway total Polish domination at all levels 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,143 Posted October 3, 2020 I think Scotty has done a good job in the studio this year. Upped his content, using the big screen and explaining technicalities. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
