But even these races he had to pass opponents ,he was last coming out the 2 nd bend in most of his races.

Very enjoyable meeting, but i feel that Tai only scoring one point from his last 3 rides probably cost GB the gold.

Lambert letting Janowski past cost us the gold.

Brennan not scoring points cost us the gold.

Bewley only scoring 9 cost us the gold.

Ellis not winning races cost us the gold.

See? It was a team effort.

All it would have taken was ONE race, and we would have had the gold.

Well if you’ve been listening to the “experts” on here we’d be incredibly lucky to get a bronze, Adam will score none and Woffy  double figures. 

Adam can be well proud of his silver medal, second place in the World Cup is no mean feat , be nice to think it might be Gold next year, and Tom certainly wasn't disgraced riding in such a high quality field of the best riders in the World. Thought Jack has continued his improvement and was superb tonight until his fall.

He can pull off the odd good pass when it matters.

The ONLY way to let a team down is by not trying. EVERYBODY gave 110% tonight.

Sometimes you perform well, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Welcome to life...

Why didn't they give 120%?

SWC planned to be every 3rd year if I'm not mistaken, so 2026 next SWC?

And Bewley replaced Ellis and Rasmus Jensen replaced Nicki earlier in the week but you cant expect Gavan to know the rules!

I know the rules … you can’t nominate your reserve twice in heats 17-20….. not hard to understand

thanks for that Ozzie, it's near impossible to keep up with the way that they change things. Thought tonight's was best speedway I have seen in donkeys year. Lucky you to have been there to witness it.

Ugh. Return of the SoN? When the SoN was introduced the Poles were never going to be beaten in a 4 man format. The Poles cruised the previous two SWC's 2016 SoN & 2017 Leszno.

Tonight has proved that is no longer the case.

There is nothing wrong with the 2 man format,  it's just not as good!

I believe we should have had Richard Lawson...

I mean Steve(ie):Worrall...

Or Pete Smith..

Or naybe even Neil Middleditch...

If we were truly serious about winning the SWC we would have....

I never actually realised until tonight on here,, that Championship HL's were as good as genuine World Class Speedway riders...

Truly amazed every World Class rider doesn't make it his ambition to ride at Poole in the 2nd Division...

A seamless transition to the GPs apparently... 

I would imagine that Magic tonight is so grateful he rode there...

 

You got to love the Poole mafia …. Speedway World Cup and still they pollute threads lol
