THE DEAN MACHINE

What is getting tedious is this bloody weather

Lobodzinski has come on these last couple of meetings, if the rest could up their game too grudiadz would be the decent team they look on paper

He has only been replaced until he is back from injury then they will see where they are, that’s what rob Lyon said last night, think MPT has jumped to conclusions

I thought the track looked a lot slicker last night than in previous seasons, the dirt was lighter in colour and even at the start of meeting riders were not having their arms pulled out with the usual 100% grip surface, didn’t seem to improve racing though although I don’t think it’s down to the track, I believe it’s down to the engine/tyre configuration

Pawlicki 1 point from 3 rides at reserve, a rider of his pedigree this is not acceptable

He rode a bit and he was something to do with the PPT engine back in the 80s, not sure if he was also a mechanic for a rider

Pawlicki doesn’t ride for leszno, he rides for zeilona gora and not all tracks in Poland are big, something I noticed on Monday night was pawlicki looked fast early on but got worse as night progressed, could it be his engines are set up for a new tyre every race like he has in Poland but in uk he has only one tyre all night but no excuse he is experienced enough to adopt to this

He certainly knew how to rub Nicki Pedersen up the wrong way, I think it was him who gave woffinden one of his big injuries when he lifted and left woffinden nowhere to go but in the fence at Lublin

Doesn’t he have a Latvian passport?

I will never feel sorry for him and I don’t like him but I do respect him and understand him and understand where he is now ,for any rider it can be absolute hell just to turn up and race when you go through these spells, nothing works, you blame everything and everyone but ultimately it’s you,has he got the fire in him to get out of it ? Only he knows that but the fact remains you don’t become a bad rider you just lose the desire, sometimes temporarily sometimes for good, I guess we will see at the end of the season when he will surely lose his GP status

What’s happened to Gregory ? Does he still ride ?

If woffinden is to work his way out of this rut then race wins and building confidence back up is the way and the only place he is doing that is in Britain, Poland is big money but you still need to score to get it

Just saying to the Mrs I wonder if woffinden feels privately”I wish I hadn’t have helped bewley out when he first came to Wrocław” it’s got to hurt seeing bewley being the new Brit on the Wrocław block

Good to see after a poor start Wrocław are making a fight of it

All these superstars need to sent on a training course at Buxton for a week then they would appreciate the less than perfect surfaces

Tracks looking a bit iffy

Przedpelski rightly excluded for that, touched but should and could of stayed on

Enjoyed that meeting some decent racing, congratulations to Sam hagon

Wrocław including woffinden are going to have to be on their game for this fixture, Lublin are beatable but it’s going to take all 7 to chip in to do it

I said this before, as much as Osbourne is what he is he isn’t breaking the law and all his decisions are business decisions, if speedway was a cash cow he would be working in our favour, the council will do whatever the cash dictates,, council support for a track closed or otherwise means nothing but on the other foot speedway needs the council to run, it all boils down to money unfortunately and it rarely falls in speedways favour, even in oxford’s case if it wasn’t for the greyhound guy buying the rights to the stadium would speedway even be back ? Unfortunately moral people don’t run the world

Zmarzlik goes about his business again, he has this world championship game well and truly mastered ,more than likely will make every final in the series, doesn’t matter where he finishes, he is nailed on for 14 points per meeting, he has a 12 point lead already, realistically jack holder has got to finish 3rd or better in every GP from now on to stand a chance , vaculik has won a few GPs now but has never really looked like a tittle contender but as tonight showed he can mix it with the best, woffinden not sure what’s going on, he doesn’t look quick but in the past even when he wasn’t quick he was a very clever rider and an opportunist who pinched points but he just doesn’t look like he wants to be there, he looked brilliant at Sheffield Thursday but looks poor for Wrocław and the GPs

All those folk who said fricke should of had a wildcard over woffinden

Not saying it is but Freddie has looked slow the last month or so, could it be belt drive doesn’t work as good in warmer weather, causes more drag on the engine ?

Grudiadz making a meeting of it, this is why Częstochowa are my team to go down, they struggle on their own track and just as I say that grudiadz pack up and go home

No but to have both is going to be twice the expense which was my point
