He truly "flies in" to a bend, cutting the apex, and can still keep the bike moving forwards, rather than locking it up, and getting "under passed"... Not seen too many able to do that to that level down the years... Also, I don't understand why some fans of Speedway complain about his domination... If he was a "gate and go" winner then I could maybe understand it, but he is far from that, and delivers some truly stand out moments almost every meeting he is in... For me, a unique talent that the sport has never seen the like of before...

Spot on... Never ever, watched a rider so "full on" in every single race... Regardless of position... He is, you could argue, borderline "reckless" at times, but that is due, I would think, to his inherent belief in himself to emerge out of very dicey situations, in front... Truly magnificent to watch if you are a proper Speedway fan..

Not even Tony "Effing" Hadley... Much rather a chance to visit the same city year in, year out to sit in the same bar, year in, year out, and watch some crap Speedway whilst shelling out a kings ransom for somewhere to kip... Manchester needs to get its "sh*t" together and start trebling the hotel prices on GP weekends...

Spot on... It's not BZ's responsibility to give UK Speedway some profile... We had Woffy for over a decade being ultra succesful and the mainstream media still didn't give a toss.. The same when Havvy and Loram won... BZ sells the sport in Poland, which is why he earns several hundred thousand in sponsorship deals with major companies... Enjoy watching a true genius on a Speedway bike...

A lot of it is down to the cost of the GP's.. A similar thing leading up to the SON last year... And, as we know, the season doesn't really start till the play offs so when following a team who are a "shoe in" for them, you can miss several "qualifiers" knowing the result is either a forgone conclusion, or academic to the end of season meetings. (And sometimes both)..

What difference did those "extra" who turned up at Cardiff, (for a while), make? There was hardly one extra fan at any track the week after because of the GB GP being held there.. And there wasn't any increased publicity for the sport in the audio, visual and written media... It is folly to think that any GB GP will suddenly ignite the UK domestic racing scene.. It never has, and won't over the next two days.. The people who will appreciate the (hopefully), great racing will be the fans of the sport... Not many of those non fans watching on TV (if there are any in any numbers), will be going on line to see if they have a track nearby, regardless of how great the entertainment will be.. Landshut and Prague don't boost the domestic scene in their countries, and the NSS will be exactly the same... Well done to Mark Lemon for providing a place to hold the GP's.. And best wishes to Brady, Dan, Robert and Charles (in any order), tonight... All "Aces Legends"...
