Not me.I was driving back from Czecho.what happened?

The morons on this forum are people like you who can't have a discussion without name calling just because someone has a different opinion to you,doesn't make them a moron.Can't say i noticed any moronic posts for or against until i read your one

You can see where accusations of 'conflict of interests' can be made though.Really in an ideal world these sort of youth development jobs should be done by independant people,like Erik Gundersen in Denmark.....don't think he has any link to any Danish club?

Think it is a mistake to put Tai in.Only time will tell and my post is here to shove down my throat if i am wrong He only got the wildcard for one reason and that is nationality.Let's see if he is proud to be a Brit.......

Not far away ......with my few words of Finnish.What was that nice red-haired woman in the hotel called again? Kiiita???

Well in Finland we should judge the crowd against Ice Hockey rather than football.....or something called Bandy

I heard that there were problems with the crates for the equipment......seems dimensions were given,then when they found a cheaper shipping company the dimensions of the crates had to be smaller.Hope everything goes well Peter.Have you been practising your Tango?????? Good interview with Liglad about a few things,but relevant to this topic are his thoughts on the cost of the Argentina trip http://www.speedweek.de/news/28936/Die-U21-WM-ist-ein-teures-Pflaster.html

Well the Sanomat contingent stayed in Chrudim But we did have an eventful night in the steakhouse in Pardubice and managed to meet up with Lukas Dryml in time to see "Elvis"

Riders are not happy......lot of promises made that have a year later been "forgotten".Talk among one or two that i spoke to about the Poles dropping like flies because they are not getting enough backing.I think f-s-p and myself have said quite a lot on this subject a year and more ago......

For what it is worth an online poll by the German language magazine,Speedweek came up with the following results Vaculik 139 votes Ward 105 Hampel 99 Jepsen Jensen 84 Woffinden 62 Smolinski 47 Laguta 18 Mikkel Bech 14 U21 world champ 8 Think the Vojens clubs poll of the Danes who should get a wc is a massive victory for Jepsen Jensen.....

Well if he does or doesn't,i would say anyone devastated at the non-appearance(if true) of Bjarne,maybe they would like to mosey down to the Hany Bany music club on saturday night as they are having a Chocolate night.Judging by the poster it looks like sweeter version of womens mud wrestling .Starts at 21:00 and costs 500 thingymajigs

Sorry,but one of the most ridiculous posts i have seen lately.Shows no understanding of sports psycholgy or a GP season if you think a heat at the start of the season has as much impact and pressure as one of the last heats involving two riders going for the title!!!!!Asa cold statistic maybe,but as part of a world championship that statement is crazy to say the very least

Weather looking good(on this site at least),very little rain,but cool.Seems Timo Lahti(the first of the Finnish contingent )has arrived and practised in Prague http://www.wetter.com/wetter_aktuell/wettervorhersage/7_tagesvorhersage/?id=CZ0PA0002

Musielak now out.Injured his shoulder yesterday doing MotoX and season finished

You know he is.If Nicki said it should be all 4 back then that would be used as almost if not 100% evidence,but if Holder said he got lucky,forget it

New dates for next season http://www.speedway-on-ice.de/

The thing is Philip you are often here telling us that ex riders say this and that as if it is gospel,so when 3 ex riders in the studio can watch the replays and say Holder should have gone,what do you do?Ignore that and say what someone else said is gospel..... No,but almost saying it.Fact is what you are saying is crazy imo,because what you are telling us is,if a rider has a bad start all he has to do is run into another rider and it will be all 4 back.The start was satisfactory,Holder was losing and lost his head for a split second,was the cause of the stoppage and should have been out.If that would have meant he lost his crown or kept it it was down to what happened after.No-one will now know,but tainted title imo

Exactly Ghostwalker,the referees decison(dodgy imo)did decide the title.As i said after the incident,sad and it spoils what was a great GP season.I would echo Philip Risings words on the other thread that i do think Holder will make a good world champion.Not sure if it says much about him or just this forum now,but there aren't that many congratulations for a new world champ.Used to be page after page for most champs.But then again there used to be 60 or 70 pages on a Poole meeting before the thing had even started,now there are hardly any for the play-off final,so maybe understandable. Said over the last winter that i wasn't convinced that AJ was going to move up to challenge for the title and was proved right.This time i really hope that Antonio carries on his improved form and actually makes a challenge next year.All in all a very good GP season which promises more of the same next year

Agree there sidney.Glad i helped in a small way to get him the gig.Never thought he would be outscoring Rene,who was one of my favourite juniors.But could see that MPT didn't lack determination and also can be quite exciting at times Like you say Scunthorpe give their riders a chance rather than chopping and changing

Oh come on,he came in as a WC and won a GP!!!How many riders have done that?And he is in a good position to win the world U21 title.Now compare that to Tai's or any other current British rider.Michael is rising fast.And i don't see Vojens as being so significant.He was only a Vojens rider for a couple of years in his career and they don't ride too often at home.In fact in his first season he had to do a number of div 1 meetings(6 or 8,can't remember which)before he was even allowed to ride in the Superliga team,so that was really the first half season gone before he had done that.And in div 1 they have only 2 or 3 home meetings per season.So riders in the other main countries probably have more meetings at home in one season than Michael has done on the Vojens 500cc track in his career......Tai is making steady progress,but after a steady start Jepsen Jensen is having the sort of season Tai can only dream, of.No comparison.If he was a Brit he would be a dead cert for next season and Tai wouldn't get a mention

I used to work with a guy from Chippenham(well i think he originally came from somewhere near Sutton)and sometimes in our breaks when the opportunity arose he would lean back,put his hands behind his head and let out a knowing groan before starting off with"The best feeling i ever had was running out onto that pitch at Wembley....."and telling anyone in the room about the times he played in goal for England schoolboys.Someone told me at one stage he had played in a works football tournament and was rubbish,so i wrote a letter off to the FA asking for details.I got a nice reply on FA headed paper saying that no-one with that surname had ever played for England at any level.I carried it around with me and told a couple of colleagues about it,but i think one must have tipped him off because from that day on he never once told the story in my presence.........

No way Holder should have been in the re-run.Title a bit tainted now really.sad way to finish the season

He used to be as mad as a hatter.he seems to have calmed down slightly this year

Rinat Mardashin Memorial online with a line-up including Igor Kononov,Denis Gizatullin and Sergei Darkin Some good racing so far,though there is an annoying ad that keeps popping up for me! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/speedwayokt#utm_campaign=e.mail.ru&utm_source=11348281&utm_medium=social

http://www.speedwaya-z.cz/view.php?cisloclanku=2012100103 Apparently Harris + Hampel are still to confirm
