THE DEAN MACHINE

Rather s**t in my hands and clap but then again it’s not aimed at me

I think is a huge factor, there is no promotion for the event, discovery are one of the biggest media company’s in the world and own a good share of the channels on our TVs and yet did they have one advert for the GP and how where to get tickets etcs ? I didn’t see one advert

All belle vue has got is a great track, Cardiff is more fan based, it will kill the GP if it doesn’t move to a new location that is out of the norm, the wow factor etc,which is why Cardiff has worked for at least 15 years but now that novelty has worn thin and a new venue is needed ,if you want a great track only then Workington northside is a better track(wider, more lines and no so engine dependent ) than belle vue and is on the seaside and no I wouldn’t want to spend a day in Workington town center either as lovely as it is

But what if brennen kvech and kubera were 3of the 4 riders, they don’t have a FIM ranking

what would of happened had 3of the 4 who finished on 9 been brennen, kvech, kubera ? None have world rankings

Pretty good GP, passing in nearly all the races, good atmosphere despite the lower crowd, British winner what more can you ask, as good as a track as it is the day the GP goes to belle vue is the death of GP speedway in the uk

Should have a run off

The GP graphics are as useful as the cameraman

Don’t think zmarzlik can qualify even with a race win in 20

Don’t think I’ve seen the throttle been shut off so many times by so many riders in one race

What a race that was,,shame the camera work was appalling

Decent racing so far, track looks bumpy coming into corners but not caused by ruts or holes

God save the queen/king is such a depressing song/anthem, everytime it’s played I can imagine someone winding up an old gramophone slowly, time for a new one, maybe Russ abbots atmosphere

That crowd doesn’t look great but they are making a decent amount of noise

As a measure of the man, I think being passed easily by lindgren in the final in gorzow hurt zmarzlik and despite him being a country mile infront of the opposition and nailed on world championship it’s not good enough just to win, he wants to win big, no I don’t think he is related to the Wroclaw rider

Zmarzlik is now using Peter johns as a tuner after years with polish tuner Kowalski

Got no appetite for Cardiff this year at all, don’t know if I’m not looking for it but there seems to be no buzz about it from anywhere, it just seems dead flat

Women’s results

Run in terrible weather conditions as it rained from 5pm right through to end

If your on you are travelling down to Cardiff and the pairs at Oxford,why not make an extra day to the Isle of Wight on Thursday for the NORA upright championship

Not sure what they are, I know we have to contact the club for whatever it is when we get home from our Scottish holiday

Couldn’t believe what I was seeing tonight, I felt cheated and to be honest I was glad it rained at heat 8 and got called off, there was no racing and a couple of ridiers were rolling round

If I’m honest I was disgusted in the attitude of certain riders tonight, “some “looked like weren’t interested, me and my family paid good money to watch that and it was dreadful, it wasn’t racing, if modern bikes don’t work in those conditions then change them because the conditions will not change, those 7 heats were not acceptable with the exception of a couple of riders

Swindon council haven’t been played at all, this is what councils do, it’s about money, having seen first hand another councils work recently Swindon’s council stance is no surprise, they say anything to appease in public but do the opposite in reality

I thought fricke was dangerously hard on sayfutinow then on lap 2
