THE DEAN MACHINE

Track is a bit choppy

Industry speedway in the US is the way forward regarding wet tracks

From what I’ve seen of Hagon this season he likes a bit of dirt around the outside, he enters the corner fast, drifts across till he hits the dirt and relies on that outside line to pull him out of the corner, pretty much everything Perry Barr doesn’t have, he isn’t the worst rider we could of had but in a struggling team I can’t see enough points from him to make our task any easier, anyway good luck Sam hope you prove me wrong

Really wish zmarzlik would go home to Gorzow, he belongs there

With poor crowds relatively speaking and half a team and finances at rock bottom Gorzow are still in a better position than rybnik

It must be heartbreaking for Gorzow fans watching their former hero winning races for fun against them when they are in dire circumstances

Well if Kurtz and bewley don’t take it to him this weekend then the title race is all but over, this is their chance on a plate but I still think zmarzlik will be on the podium both days

Gorzow not helping their own desperate cause

They do some strange things in Poland, put covers on to keep track dry then water after 1 race because it’s too dry

That reminded me of woffindens crash and bandor was involved in that too

Can’t see Gorzow getting anything out of this so let’s hope for some decent racing

With nearly half the GP line up in this meeting I can’t see many willing participants wanting to ride in the wet

With Edward’s on the sidelines I think we need to take a punt on Vinnie foord ,he is enthusiastic and I can’t see anyone else available as a R/S that is any better

They may have won with Edward’s but they didn’t

Not sure what’s going on with rew, ever since he had an illness he has been poor but it can’t be the illness cause he been really good in Poland but well done the brummies for making a fight of it and hope Edward’s ok

That wasn’t a great watch

While I agree it did happen in Poland at weekend with Nicki Pedersen have a laugh with Jarek Hampel during the match

You are concentrating so much that literally anything can trigger you flinching, whenever I was gate 2 or 3 I would always look forward at the tapes rather than across the guy off 1 or 4, it’s strange but even if you off 1 looking at the magnet and someone off 2 jumps it can still make you jump, you can’t see them as you looking other way but it’s like you can sense a movement, that moment between green light and tapes going up is so intense

Rode for Peter half a dozen times and he is a very clever thinker and team manager and yes has a very dry sense of humour but I have never understood how he been so successful especially with individual riders on the world stage but then again the Peter Adams you pay for individually and the team manager Peter Adams are 2 different people and I suppose if I told him that his reply would probably be “I never understood why you thought you could be a speedway rider” 😂 I also rode for his brother at stoke and mildenhall John Adams who tried so hard to be Peter but just didn’t have it at all

Good entertaining meeting, Toruń deserved winners, it’s never a good look moaning about another rider when you have been owned numerous times on your own track

Should zmarzlik’s go there ? Block pass definitely but could zmarzlik have stayed on, imo yes

Should be a real test against Kurtz and bewley at BV, nobody rides that place like they do

Dudek seems to having a bit of a form revival this season

Not one of his favourite tracks but don’t expect that will stop 2 rostrum finishes

Zmarzlik’s ability to read situations and react quickly is a cut above anybody else in world speedway
