Tactical Joker 60 Posted August 14, 2022 Well we're here! Could be West Ham in the pub instead then. But seriously the reaction if it doesn't happen won't be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iainb 5,018 Posted August 14, 2022 Even if the track is bad, should still be better than it was in Prague... hopefully the kids will just do as their told and get on with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammer1969 421 Posted August 14, 2022 Think they might have under estimated for crowd level, we all got shunted round to back straight from main gate and now they seem to be opening up some seating on bends 2 and 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,229 Posted August 14, 2022 Please call it off because I genuinely fear for the riders safety. This has got a Darcy Ward situation written all over it. Last night we saw Elite level experienced riders struggling to turn a bike towards the end. Took a ridiculous amount of track work just to get the final three heats in.

screm 8,057 Posted August 14, 2022 The organisers have been warned that if the track is as bad as it was last night this could be carnage, lets see what happens. My feeling is first accident due to the track and that will be that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Lady 5,400 Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Track grading after every race, it seems according to Tatum. Hope fans have hotels booked for tonight result could be declared after heat 12 if track is crap. seriously hope it isn’t necessary and all riders finish the meeting fit and well.

That's the main thing. I've got my fingers crossed that everyone comes out of the meeting safely. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
