Terrific racing tonight the aussies would have won anyway but the ref certainly made it easier for them, good to see holder back, should be a great final with the poles coming out on top yet again, as long as the danes and dirty nicki dont win I will be happy.

It is a shame i had money on it, i won't be backing them tonight though, Nilsson really what are they thinking!

come on the aussies, surely wouldn't be right to have a final without Darcy and Chris.

I somehow don't think it's a university of education!!

Don't think Gollob will ride, he didn't last year, think the aussies may be stronger than last year but overall poland will win and are odds on at the bookies, if there was 2-1 available they would be swamped, best value is australia at 10-1.

Great race between them at Cardiff though where tai got the better of him, personally would rather the aussies didn't make the final, just hope Darcy comes through it safely on a track that should suit him.

Yes agree there but it's not choking, trouble is everyone seems to think Darcy should win every race he is in. like him to be a world champion one day but he ain't no Rickardsson is he and i doubt any of the current crop of riders can be

He had a off night, happens to everyone, he didn't choke, had a engine failure and stopped for a red light. He didn't choke at cardiff, if by choking you mean he can't gate and can't pass because there is only one line then fair enough.

Denmark have no chance with that team, probably doesn't make that much difference but they would have had a chance with their best riders, Darcy has never choked and the aussies will cruise to the final.

I think denmark will still be second but third is up for grabs and we can do it although it will be more difficult in poland with loads of lines on a fantastic track

Kildermand will mess up and mads will be found out on a big polish track

Thats a mistake in my opinion, definately should of had hans with his experience, race off will be easy for the aussies but overall poland will be too strong.

Thats amazing hans not picked, I would have thought he had done enough tonight to get a place

Wheres lindgren has he given up riding for his country

Rubbish no one is intimidated, nicki is dirty and cant help himself

He wont cause injury, no nicki doesnt move over quite the opposite or didnt you see his move on darcy at cardiff

Disagree about darcy, most riders dont move over he is passed before they can even think. about moving over

Wouldn't say the track was awful, just not much overtaking which has been the case for several years, my own opinion is that they should consider Peterborough for next year.

Didnt need to take backroads parked in industrial estate easy parking and free! Went straight home only queue was getting out of ind est.

Middlo may not be flavour of the month for you gavan but he can stay as poole manager for as long as he likes and I dont care how many bad meetings darcy has for australia either. I am sure middlo was the first to congratulate his great friend rosco on his achievement. Rosco got lucky with aussie exclusions and breakdown and all the gb team rode at their best.

The racing wasnt the best but the atmosphere was terrific but you had to be there to appreciate that maybe there were issues earlier in the day but I expect without roadworks the traffic would be very heavy on a saturday during the summer as alot of people would go that way on their way to the coast but as the meeting was in the evening it was always likely to not be as bad by then.

Fair enough, I would anyone else win than andy murray but come wimbledon everyone calls him british

Totally agree, racing wasnt the best but atmosphere terrific and crowd levels were better than last year, very enjoyable night out . The only thing I would say is that there could be more food and drink outlets especially on back straight. I wasnt able to get there very early but that turned out to be a good thing as there were no queues by the time we got there, overall a excellent event in beautiful weather. Cant understand why anyone would rather be at home in front of the tv, which probably came over as boring without the atmosphere to enjoy. All the riders were english and the manager, easy mistake to make and why even mention it, must have everything absolutely correct!

If rosco had been manager last year he would have picked cook, stead was injured anyway, the mistake middlo made was picking kennett. We had quite a bit of luck last night too, batch falling, darcy bike problems, woodward awful.The track was for me the best in the country years ago but not the same anymore, not just talking about last night, over the last few years it has deterioted, no idea why but the racing isnt as good

Most fans would have picked cook last year, kennett maybe not and most would have had misgivings about stead this year but he rode above himself and his gating was very impressive and he wasnt available last year through injury.
