It was louder than the normal commentary. Sounded like they had taken over the stadium. Then it's going to be louder at the next GP. Seriously!!!

I expect the BBC/ITV or whoever to cheer for their own but I don't live in Britain and could hear it over our commentary. Perhaps it's the fault of the TV coverage. Who knows. Perhaps our commentators should be louder.

Not at all as it was held in Britain. At the Cardiff GP absolutely!

Why the wolf howling noises every time Tai wins? I would expect some chanting at a speedway team match by the commentators but there are 16 riders there at an individual world championship. Media manipulation at it's finest.

As Brits living in Sweden we took our Union Jack and went to cheer on the British Team. It was good to see a British team for the first time in the EM U19 as they proudly rode for their country. They all rode really well and battled to the finish line. The experience can only be to their advantage. We thoroughly enjoyed the meeting. Well done boys.

Marital problems

WHEW!!! Great finish. I'm exhausted.

Cos now it's gonna be close for first place. What's with all the flies caught on camera?

Yup looking forward to the tractor racing in the interval, yawn. It's great to see some good team spirit in the British camp.

Mark said he gave it a good go but it was tough out there. He broke his frame yesterday in practice and spent the night welding it. Not a great weekend. Now for the long trek home and back to work Monday morning.

Thanks Ian

So do I

What a great post. I totally agree. One rider also showed last night that you can win from all gate positions. Crump also watched and then went out to win on yellow. Holta won off of white after Emil showed how it was done. It is also interesting to watch the riders in the presentation at the start of each GP. Check out their body language and you can predict who will be in the final. Last night, the only riders who looked up for it were Gollob, Holta & Emil.

Yup we are going to come last but who else have we got to save us?

To get progression you have to take chances and Rob Lyon took a chance tonight, ignoring all the contoversy. The team were great and were not afraid to mix it with the greats, such as Gollob. Danny King showed his true form and Chris Harris was hungry to show the others the way, especially with a joker in his hand. Hats off to the boys. The young team have shown that they can hold their own. Without looking at points, the racing was superb. With this experience, the team can build on their experience for next year. It's the only way forward. Looking forward to a great final on Saturday with the Poles and the Russians, who both go well at Leszno.

I'm not surprised by the Russians. Check out the Polish leagues and you will see how well they have been riding this season. Last years SWC, they showed us what they were capable of, so it's only a matter of time until they dominate the speedway scene. Don't they want to hold GPs in Togliatti? Apparently they have a fantastic stadium. Nicolai Klindt showed he was ready for the Danish squad with 8 points tonight. Hans said he was up for it and he sure was, bless. Looking forward to a great final next Saturday.
