  1. Yeh! The Poles gave Hampel the " bumps"in the celebrations at end of meeting.They knock lumps out of each other in league matches but when it comes to representing their country they all get together for Team Spirit.Unlike some other Countries.
  2. Can his Team mates not give him advice regarding set up! Excuses as far as I am concerned if the meeting was re-run today you would probably get the same result.Worrel and Harris had a set -up after a couple of rides.!
  3. Think you probably need an ex-rider in studio to get proper debate Scott is ok but does not want to diss any of his riding companions.David Norris !! See you just beat me to it regarding Norris!!!
  4. How many years will Cook have to ride to get the"expieriance " he been telling us for years he was a late starter thought he would have like that track given shape and size.
  5. Well if Denmark and Australia are "in the top" Poland and Sweden beat us and you think Russia and Latvia are better how do you work out GB are 5th?
  6. Are we really the 4th best nation in the World after tonight's result and performance (on paper yes)on track though.?
  7. Cook has always been stiff on the bike no style just fast in straight line when in front unfortunately he is not going to see the front at this level very often.
  8. He think will I waste money going to Poland every Sunday
  9. We all found out the cause of his his sinus issue later on !!
  10. just pointing why I get put off such attractive meeting,it's a forum negitive comments are allowed .I certainly would not be put of by such comments.The sport is in decline and IMO these situations don't help it.Thats all. I am a speedway fan nowadays,team speedway is a thing of the past.
  11. These people that complain regarding track and passing etc don't seem to take into account standard between riders on most occasions IMO
  12. Though about attending but no Barker and R/r .Spoils an interesting meeting so not bother now.
  13. I agree ,what it shows is there is only a handful of British tracks that can cope with speed a pace of modern day speedway.Majority of GB tracks are to narrow in this regard,when a rider gets into trouble there is not enough room to correct errors compared with most Continental tracks,where you see as many mistakes but riders "getting away with it"because of track area to recover.There has been a lot of injuries again this season in GB. Would like to see a comparison of number of crashes and rider injuries between Continent and GB.
  14. Like Nichols said in the studio Batch should have just rode a steady race for 3 rd if that was the tactic.The joker should be dropped IMO .I pointed out earlier the Latvians and Russians "helped " each other on Tue as well.The Latvian outgated Doyle and did nothing wrong though.They were all very competitive heats.
  15. Another excellent speedway meeting.Russians worthy winners.Holder is really struggling ,not sure but think a change of engine tuner might help,bikes look sluggish even when he gets into good positions .
  16. That seems to be the case nowadays,still if the crowds are flocking in !!
  17. Not just NL .IMO .Trouble is if you put a little shale on it you need a fleet of Ambulances on stand by otherwise meeting ends prematurely with curfew imposed at most tracks.
  18. Have you employed a new scriptwriter this season?
  19. Swedish round :That what speedway is all about if you give the riders a decent track to ride on.British promoters need to take heed , Kings Lynn used to be one of the best tracks in Uk but is now just another one line gaters track like most other tracks in Uk now.Great meeting,does anybody else think thinks here was a bit of team tactics in the last few races ,to me it looked like Swed/Den vLatvia/ Russia. Ps NkI is have a nightmare season.
