another Bates ,a liability IMO. Promoters spend most of the season looking for guests for them.

Team manager is a totally overrated job in Speedway, the riders dictate on most things.As for International Duty it is probably picking the Team and arranging accommodation.

Lindsay and Gilmore are already in Poland, I’m sure Cook will be there soon.Interesting.Can the Young Brits get into Poland or Sweden is the question.

The Aussies have a few more than GB.Fricke,Holder, Kurtz,Lindsay, Stewart,Gilmore,Thompson,Cook could all step up a notch IMO.They are already a step ahead.

Bickley will have to take a step up when he moves out of a reserve berth ,he is good at home but can disappoint away.He is still very young though.

Name the riders who will be competitive on World Stage in the next couple of years bar Woffy and Lambert.There is some young talent out there but they have along way to go as the U21 Team showed.

You don’t have to break the tapes to get excluded though ,so Clegg should have went if that was the case

Anybody who watches Cook regular will see the Cook has a very upright style and tends to ride mid track/ outside.He very seldom pulls lockers and turns back sharply he is not a very technical rider but he can be fast. Imo .Obviously his crash effected him for the 2 days though.

Yip that’s what happened ,the Danes were not happy because it cost them 2nd place in the end.Its wrong IMO the rider that touches the tapes usually goes.

Good comeback for Tigers to get Point, fair play to them

Fail to see why Rosco needed anybody else to help him look after 3 riders who were not even out in every heat ,don’t know how many helpers he needs for a league match.

It just highlighted what most fans know in World Speedway terms at Top Level we are a long way behind, and it will be a number of years before we catch up ( if ever).

Big win for Diamonds I reckon.

It’s not like Bomber to have bike troubles.

Correct,and we do need an excuse

Yes

Is that you Dick

Visa ‘s are the problem if you are not organised.

I was going to this meeting but the weather/ Schlein combination put me of, which proved justified.Riders with his attitude are harming the sport.

It’s pretty obvious without Tai we had no chance of winning, but it is a sad fact that apart from sending a under21 for experience we don’t really have a decent replacement .Harris selection cannot be considered the worsed. They are all I the same boat.I would have picked S Worrell personally.

Yip,Garry blames track conditions for Rory pulling up in 3 races as there was minimal opportunity to pass.Even said when he made the gate he won easily.The sport is in a bad way with these attitudes.Imo

Personally don’t see the point of racing over 2 days for “ winner takes all final”.meeting each other once should be enough.

Barker seems to have off track problems most seasons ,but it does not effect his on track entertainment level.

Can’t be long till Garry comes on and says the track was the problem ,wonder how much Rory earned tonight.Bet The was an expensive 3 points for Somerset Promotion

It’s the sh#t on his fingers that are making it sticky
