racers and royals

So you reckon Crumpy did crap do you-because he most certainly wasnt happy with the track ! !

You do post some crap and this is a first class example of it-we are talking the pinnacle of our sport here THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP and the riders have to perform on a track which is dusty from heat 1

Only 8 pages of " entertainment at Cardiff " -you will have to make do with killer queen.

I`ve just got back as well-drink must have been flowing in the sponsors lounge if THAT track was better than you expected-clouds of dust in heat 1 unacceptable in my view and arguebly more ruts than last year.Paul Bellemy MD BSI wrote in the spring "a great deal of development work has taken place through the winter months into making our temporary tracks even better and we will be constructing new tracks at Ullevi and Cardiff this year " well they have already failed on the first count ! !

They even had a celeb to do the draw-none other than John Postlethwaite ! !

Have you read it right ?

Thanks to sopcast-great quality and some good racing.poor old Nicki P another dodgy exclusion ! David Ruud was impressive in beating crumpy.Fair result i think,well pleased to be able to watch Swedish and Polish speedway on the net.

http://soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport two matches on tommorow 3pm and 5.30pm uk time

2nd and final round at Fjelsted on friday 7th august

Tonights meeting from Vojens is live on the net at http://soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport Starts at 6pm our time

Today`s Speedway star advert lists the band as Killer Queen-iv`e seen them and they are really good.The punters wont be dissapointed.

No offence taken-but this thread is about who`s going,some of us have a lot further to travel than you !

Iwill be on the Ryanair flight on sat am from Stanstead.Anyone else off to Sweden ? lets hope the Swedish track staff completely ignore Ole Olsen ! !

Shame last heat decider ended in drawn match 48-48

I think were out of luck tonite,the polish site i use lists the match but no streams available

Good home win for Gdansk over Leszno today-they certainly needed it !

I think i would have given him one more-as he said in his interview "why bring me all this way to give me one ride "

Another quality 2 hrs of speedway along with a brilliant sopcast picture.Torun won 52-38 for the home team Miedzinski was flying closely followed by Holder and Sullivan.Niels K Iversen was well annoyed to only be given one ride(last) by the Zielona Gora manager.

Yes def on tv and the internet start time 3pm our time.

Torun v Zielona Gora and Gdansk v Leszno are now on Sunday 17th May.does anyone know if either is being televised ?

SVEMO(swedish authorities)prepared the track that year.If the local track people are given the job of preparing the racetracks on the permanent tracks,why do they prepare them far slicker than for other meetings at those tracks ?

Regards Ole Olsen his full title is FIM race director SGP and SWC.He might also be employed by BSI/IMG to build the temporary tracks at Copenhagen and Cardiff.I think its time several points are clarified by the authorities 1 Who is ultimately responsible for track conditions at every GP(does this vary from temporary tracks to permanent ones) 2 depending on the previous answer what input do BSI have on track prep. 3 what input does the FIM jury president(the meeting is under his control)have on track conditions. 4 Do the riders have any input into track conditions either pre-season or before each GP. If we could get the answers to these questions we all might have a better understanding of how things operate at GP level.

I was also there and whilst we knew it wasnt the best GP it also wasnt the worst-the atmosphere created by the Polish fans(must have been 98% Poles)was terrific and certainly helped make up the entertainment package.

Correct person to contact is Head of Motorsports-Rob Armstrong at rob.armstrong@imgworld.com I would like to think that no one would send anything abusive.
