THE DEAN MACHINE

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

Pawlicki rode better than his points total, flint looks down on speed, can’t fault Freddie in heat 15 he took janowski to the fence to stop him but janowski kept it on and the clattered together inches from the fence, Birmingham didn’t really lose the meeting by fault they were unlucky in 15 with Brenen being excluded

Oh Birmingham, so near but, great entertainment though, Riss definitely took one for the team there and it paid off

First time for me at Birmingham since 2016, tonight was a bridge to far for Birmingham, a very slow start being a killer blow, 5 race winners for a home team isn’t good enough

They interviewed Michelsen on magazine programme, he said he doesn’t have an issue with madsen but when he saw something going on with team he wasn’t going to do nothing so jumped on

Kubera deserved winner

Zmarzlik had to go, but jeez he wasn’t going to give up was he

I think laguta has dropped off a bit, still a fantastic rider but not the rider he was, sayfutinov is still hungry and a great rider but in the years he was in the GP he was there or there about but never really looked like being WC and I don’t think he has changed

Me and the Mrs were discussing zmarzlik earlier saying if his career went like janowski’s (still a good rider but maybe best days behind him ) would he quit as I just can’t see him settling for 2nd best

I wear those same glasses, I can’t remember anyone having the complete package for so long, many riders over the years had their thing that they were great at but I think zmarzlik has it all, he is the ultimate racer and a super quick thinker, even if someone try’s to shut the door on him it’s as if he see’s it coming and changes direction in a split second and his will to win it 100% and he looks an absolute natural on a bike

No inch given so far

What a ride from buczkowski

Think someone tripped over the cable

I see the will to win in zmarzlik like no other rider, he is 100% no matter if GP or challenge meeting and I guess it must demoralise the opposition somewhat how he is on it all the time and he looks like he enjoys doing it too

That was some comeback from grudiadz

Looked poor by his polish standards and didn’t ride in either nominated races

Is he injured then as he not been in line up for last few meetings

Does kasper Gomolski still ride ?

Not sure if it’s a rule or it’s at discretion of referee but how do you define dangerous? Intent or just out of control? I can think of a couple who fit in to the later category but I can’t think of any who fit the first, the whole sport is fairly dangerous by it’s nature but I believe is very safe now compared to how it was, I think every rider has respect in some way for every other rider and wouldn’t set out to hurt another rider despite harder riding by some than others

The lift from holder wasn’t intentional therefor no card should be considered,as much as it startled lampart causing him to shut off I don’t think it would of resulted in a crash even if lampart hadn’t of shut off, if it did cause a crash then holder would be excluded but you cant run a sport on what ifs. speedway is a hard game rid by strong minded individuals,sometimes it’s your day other times it isn’t, they all know that

Lampart 1st to 3rd on last lap of heat 12 proving costly in the end

Hope Birmingham can get a 5-1 here, they need it
