THE DEAN MACHINE

About time the dirt deflector was sent to the history books, it was never needed

Love the passion of the falubaz fans, flares and all

We drove to Germany, stayed in a village 8 miles away from track in moosburg, as there was no parking at the stadium we caught the train into landshut and then got the bus to the stadium, everything went smoothly, after the meeting we joined the other fans waiting for the bus back to landshut, when it turned up only about half the fans could get on so we decided to book an uber back to hotel, we booked and paid for it and it said it will be there in 25 mins, the next bus came and nearly all got on, after 30 mins we got a message saying our Uber had been cancelled and we were refunded the money, at that point it bucketed it down, we waited under a shelter with 3 belle vue fans and a German lad, the police came and said there is no more buses, they told us to wait there and they went and diverted a bus just for the 5 of us and took us to landshut where we found out the train to our hotel had been cancelled, we had to find a bus going our way which eventually we did, we got into our hotel around 1pm, all part of the fun but for the want of a car park

It’s in his programme notes

Yes they do but even tonight zagar’s rides were adequately covered by paco, was an improved performance from Edward’s, Rew started amazing but went missing in his last 2, only really jeppersen and Hume struggled but overall results don’t lie they are not good enough, changes ? Who ? Anyway next week tolley has some big news he has to tell us and I don’t think it going to be a miracle signing

Really disappointed with huckenbeck last night, thought being home rider he would be in the mix, Kvech was Kvech but i agree laguta and sayfutinow should be there but who let the FIM do there virtue signaling?

Kergal is your friend

I agree, laguta is a brilliant rider and very fast but I’ve seen laguta when the track doesn’t suit him, you don’t see that in zmarzlik, there is plenty of riders who beat zmarzlik but those riders then go missing in the next round, even on his bad days zmarzlik never goes missing

We paid £45 for tickets last night and there were plenty of touts outside the stadium offering them for around £25 which I feel is value

I will never not be a fan of zmarzlik, his attitude to winning is matched by his talent and imo is by far the greatest rider the sport has ever had, his pass on Thompson tonight was just pure class, started a lap before by showing Thompsen his front wheel up the inside making Thompsen change his line leaving zmarzlik to go where he needs to get the speed to pass him ,irrespective of how good the opposition is or isn’t, it is arguably harder to beat anyone nowadays because all 16 riders have pretty much identical engines obviously with their own set ups which wasn’t the case back in the 60s 70’s 80s or any decade you care to mention, when the few had far superior engines to the rest of the field, speedway has had some greats over the years but imo none had the complete package like zmarzlik

The FIM have scheduled a secret meeting for tomorrow to see how they can penalise zmarzlik at the next GP

vaculik has 7 points, I just realised I balls up my programme I had lambert on 6

Think the guy stretchered off may have been a photographer who fell off his stool when the crash happened directly infront of him

There is a polish fan right where crash was being attended to by paramedics inbetween track and fence for terracing, the ambulance has left the track but he still down, nobody seems to know what’s happened to him rerun delayed while he being dealt with, got a stretcher for him now

There is a polish fan on fourth bend fuming at the tractor drivers everytime they come round, he not happy lol

Think that’s unfair on Kurtz, he is proving himself in Poland, he is a natural racer, I know it’s a massive task but 3 of this years rounds are his home tracks, you take your luck when it’s handed to you

He wasn’t there when 2 mins finished although as you say when he was chatting to Kurtz nothing happened for about 5 mins

A couple of them did try it on practice but I could see someone cutting your nose off coming off corner in a race

Decent crowd in, not sold out but good nevertheless, not seen many brits, plenty of poles

Can’t remember what the racing is like here but track looks very one line entry into corners and exit too

Bit on outside but barely any banking, inside looks bald now before meeting

Well at least we have music playing now, well that is if you consider the garbage that karlitto plays music, it’s no Russ abbot’s atmosphere

The stand on the back straight is a temporary stand, I wonder if it the one to be used at belle vue and discovery own it and rent it to the GP venues ?

Raining again now, not enough to affect the track at the moment

Exactly this, we were right over the pits and zmarzlik was there waiting for what seemed like ages but the 2 mins had already expired, he was in his pit bay when it expired
