  1. Apart from NKI... I presume he takes the ferry to Poland?.. Sadly, no ferries now run direct to Denmark, but there is a route via Germany and Holland...
  2. And all the "stupid o' clock" starts!!! Must be a nightmare in logistical planning too... Flights, Hotels, Bike prep whilst away... Getting enough decent sleep to keep alert enough to ride a Speedway bike must also be a challenge.... And then when you get there you may not ride!!!
  3. Exactly the kind of thing every club should do on match day... 15-20 mins on YT...
  4. He is clearly a very talented motorcyclist ... Given the way he "backed off" when surrounded by other riders when riding Speedway, maybe having brakes on a bike gives him the confidence to keep riding "full on", knowing he can stop the bike whenever he needs to... Even towards the end of his Speedway time he could still get out of the start and win races comfortably, showing that on an open track he could ride full on and fast... Hopefully he can still return to the sport and overcome his obvious challenges, as he certainly is more than fast enough to be a decent level rider...
  5. Enjoyed that, not much in the way of passing, but as seems usual in Poland, most races have at least three riders in contention for most of the races.... With every race a stand alone event in the eyes of the fans... A drawn heat? Meh... A lost heat? A disaster of biblical proportions . A won heat? Let's get the party started... A big crowd, away fans, a bit of tribal atmosphere, and you have something worth attending again...
  6. Fricke was lucky he didn't clip his back wheel harder as he would have headed straight to the fence...
  7. Pawlicki not in a great way.., Broken something? Fair play carrying on...
  8. You don't need people bringing atmosphere to Speedway., The bikes are noisy enough.. I dread to think how many Health and Safety regs are being broken..
  9. Have Poland confirmed that this English kid is their's?...😆
  10. Agreed, but too many times the rider in front must know Zmarzlik will make a "long straight" of it and try and nail him at the entrance to the turn, meaning riding down the fence leaves them a sitting duck... Lebedevs knew Dudek had planned a long straight so purposely got himself off the fence as soon as he could, and started to move left, meaning Dudek, when he arrived at speed, had to suddenly move to the outside line... Maybe Zmarzlik would still pass around the outside,given he is that good, but at least make him work for it ..
  11. That cheering looks a bit OTT. A polite round of applause as you are walking down the stairs, getting to your car would suffice, thanks very much...😀
  12. Great race from Lebedevs,slower bike than Dudek but used great track craft.. Especially not letting him do a third bend "bomb" by moving left down the back straight... More should do it to Zmarzlik!!
  13. Without either a true No1 and a No5, they need five No3's.... Good luck with finding four more of them to add to Lidsey....
  14. I would review your own teams' performance tonight first to be honest... Apart from Danny King (not a gating tart and top scored by a long way), the rest are and they got whooped!!!!
  15. Best of luck to both the lads who had to withdraw from the meeting.... No "hype", it appears, around these two, who seem to be going under the radar somewhat, and are making very steady progress indeed... Hope both are back soon with no lasting issues..
  16. I think it is in the regs now that they have to if TV evidence is available... Seemingly they can even use WhatsApp video from the fans of the team whose rider gets excluded so they can change their minds and exclude the other teams' rider....
  17. Ahhhh... The old educational way of getting your message across using the medium of a clenched fist......
  18. I agree if was an established track... However, as only the second meeting the staff will still be finding their feet, in the Speedway Star they said those on the entrance gate were still getting trained up to an hour before letting people in last week... And as some punters tonight will no doubt be new you want to try and not pee them off by missing out on the racing... Maybe a 7.45 start time would be better for this season?
  19. Was Phil Morris the only one in UK Speedway leadership team with a watch? And now he doesn't appear to be involved no one knows what the time is?
  20. They are supposed to use the TV coverage if it is there...
  21. Condolences to you and your family, mate... Always enjoyed your Dads' contributions.... All the best....
