THE DEAN MACHINE

while I agree Poland are favourites , they have in pawlicki and janowski two riders who are unpredictable scorers with pawlicki been unpredictable as to if he will finish the race as seen in the last gp where he crashed while leading comfortably and he is the same for leszno , both him and janowski both had poor meetings in the polish championships on Friday , throw in the massive pressure that they will have and well you never know , I expect nothing but it's not as clear cut as people think, we might benifit by Australia going through because Russia or Latvia are both potential winners in Poland , I know Poland have been practicing at leszno this week and if they start convincingly they will take some stoping but if they have their cages rattled early on I think we will see a diiferent poland fro what everyone expects from them

While I hope Saturdays final has great racing and is a tense meeting I would rather see Britain win with no passing at all , a British win with amazing racing would be a bonus but a British win is the thing that will get me cheering and shouting at the tv and it will make me a £1000 better off as I had a bet on them

In speedway terms that is an earthquake , can't remember the last time Denmark we not at the top of world speedway

with all the issues the sport has and there are many , until the admission price ,the social side and the team aspect of the sport are addressed you will never tempt the armchair viewers to the sport , the lessons are there for us to learn in all sports , even in speedway but we just bury our heads in the sand and blame everybody and everything without looking at ourselves

One decision I don't understand is why gerhard made them twin cam instead of single cam , history tells you twin cams are very hit and miss on speedway , I believe if he had made it single cam you would see a lot more use of them but either waty can speedway afford the GTR to fail ?and I'm talking about the sport in general not what the bspa has riding on it

this i believe is so true ,

I don't get it either , I don't like him but just ignore him , he didn't deserve the abuse he got , I understand people feel let down by him but we had a great result and that should of been what the tweets were aboutbut some folk are very confrontational especially on social media Having watched the polish championships last night are the poles that strong even at home ? Only one of the team made the final and 2 of them didn't even make the semi final , they are all good riders but they are vulnerable especially with the weight of the country on their shoulders , , we are gaurenteed 4th , if we have an average meeting we will get 3rd , if we have a excellent meeting 2nd , if we have an excellent meeting , luck is on our side and the poles do crumble under pressure well who knows

the were lots more, not sure why people were having a go at him but once he bit and become very arrogant it became a bit of a free for all , all deleated this morning think he was advised to deleat , he shouldn't of bit but he shouldn't of been picked on either

so if the 4 poles who are all racing in the polish championship today got injured then poland will have no team in the final , yes it's unlikely to happen but it just shows even at top level how stupid rule makers are in our sport, a rule inforced because of selfish riders like Hancock and everybody else suffers

Impressive from GB today so what's our chances in the final ? Dudek and Bartoz will be hard to take points from ,we need to hope that magic has one of those meetings he has from time to time where he is just poor although he is on excellent form at the moment and let's hope pawlicki has one of those meetings like he does for leszno where he throws points away at randem He has had a few lately ,in smektala they have a good reserve around leszno but he should be beatable , let's go there with tonight's confidence and believe and well you never know , it's going to take something else to beat poland in Poland but all the other teams are there for the taking , I will be dissapointed if we don't get a medal

but why we're either not picked ahead of Morris ?

Not that I care but why are the Aussies not using Brady kurts or jack holder?

Either the outside gates are a huge advantage or we have turned into the worlds best gators either way we are on it

Good luck to GB tonight , believe in ourselves and give it our all , that's all I ask

For me British speedway has all but died ,apart from ones I've worked at I haven't attended a single league meeting in either of the top two leagues this year and I can't say I want to either and I live 3 miles from wolves track but I just don't want to go anymore ,doubling up has killed the team aspect So what's the point of supporting your team ? I have been to a few national league meetings and a couple of polish league but I feel like the sport in Britain is just run for the riders now and the fans don't matter , I have been very outspoken for a few years about the way the sport was heading and god knows I've had some stick for it but I've got to the point now where I believe the damage has been done and British speedway is doomed , it breaks my heart but where do we go from here cause I've had enough

Nasty crash , watching the replay how does pawlicki get his hand knocked off the handlebars and manage to re-grab the bars without losing control, hope klindt ok

Smolinski riding a GTR in that ride

Bad decision , dirt deflector does touch miliks front wheel but he fell on his own , great racing though

but the racing has been better than most GPs and the GPs have served up some good stuff

Does anyone on here know anyone in the stadium who can go up to the cameraman and let him know where the action is so he can film it for us

Some good racing so far

there is some shocking camera work

Think Andersen's mechanic has some questions to answer

think falubas have had their enthusiasm washed away

not if this rain keeps up
