World Cup Final 2nd August 2014
Gavan replied to mickthemuppet's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Really? Holder and Ward as good as Pedersen and Iversen and better than Kasprzak and Hampel Batchelor as good as Kildemand and better than Pepe Doyle better than Mads and maybe on this track not as good as Koldziej So rider for rider they are bang there. All depends on wether Ward stays on his bike for 5 races! -
World Cup Final 2nd August 2014
Gavan replied to mickthemuppet's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I dont think there is any chance of us getting a medal but the boys and the manager deserve so much credit getting us there. Looking at the line ups i think the aussies are good value. Cant quite understand Mads being 1 of the best 4 danes. A good rider but destined to be the weak link maybe like Doyle for the Aussies. With Poland depends on which Hampel and Kasprzak turn up. If its the Kasprzak from the gp here then the Poles will be favourites. We will do well to get within 10 points of 3rd place. We have one and a half gp riders , the aussies 3 and the Danes 2 -
wrong! do you not listen to riders interviews or read twitter. Darcy gave it a go for all 4 laps and admitted himself he was outrode

S W C - Who Will Be Picked For Uk
Gavan replied to michaelcroucher's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Why are people arguing about putting the youngsters in it makes no sense! If people wanted to watch the likes of Kerr and Garrity get beat race after race then go ahead. Surely the aim this year was to make the final at best so put out yout best 4 riders. By all means have them in the pits around the atmosphere but in the 4? NO Speedway is in dire straights in this country lifte only by a British World Champion. Saturday night gave you a buzz back for the sport and if we are in with a squeak of a medal than again it will bring a buzz back which we need over here. wrong! the riders of the future if at Lynn in the pits will have learnt an awful lot from being around the teams even just watching guys like Tai Hancock and Ward how they go about big meetings. By getting to the final we have possibly even over achieved so yes we have gained something and the youngsters will be a part of the feel good factor around at the moment. -
spot on. people need to realise that the rider behind can be at fault as well. Look at Darcy and Greg in heat 20. If Dacry had of tried what the czech lad did he would have been in the fence. The difference is Darcy was controlling the throttle a lot better different scenarios there and you know it. Look at Pedersen on Zagar in the gp just wiped him out and of course rightly excluded. What about a track, bit like last night , where the racing line is a foot from the fence? You saying a rider shouldnt ride close to the fence in case the rider behind wants to come round him? No he blocks him. Nilsson moved wide there was contact obviously but the lad behind should have seen him coming and either shut off or changed line. The person in front is allowed to ride where they want. Listen to riders when they moan at the ref sometimes they use it all the time. You can perform a move with contact as well. jeez ive been watching the sport for 30 years and now you dont want contact lol

I really cant see where people are coming from who believe excluding Nilsson was right! When you are in front you can ride your line and Nilsson did exactly that. If you watch he was almost fenced himself but had the foresight to shut it off which is exactly what the young czech lad should have done. It wasnt dirty just hard riding. Please dont liken it to Nicki who waits till riders are alongside before fencing them or simply rides through them What Nilsson did was hard riding, Pedersen is dirty, just ask his pit lane colleagues!

Jim Lawrence with a shocking decision yet again! Does the man like to be god when on tv? Speedways equivalent to Graham Poll! Sorry Gater it is about opinions but your s as pointed it is so far wide of the mark makes me wonder how many meetings you have seen? For those who say Hancock is boring do you watch races properly? Heat 1 just weighed up his opponent and picked him off. If that wasn't enough go back and watch Heat 20 again. Darcy by far the faster but Greg out rode him. He put his bike in places every corner to make like difficult for Darcy without ever being hard. it was an absolute masterclass.

Gavan replied to Star Lady's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
think that is a bit over critical of Darcy. Perhaps he needs to have a chat with Mark Loram on how to pass cleanly and safely with throttle control. You can count on one hand the amount of times Mark hit the deck what this means is no more Jepsen Jensen racing..........................................so wait for the new name and avatar in the next few days -

No we dont think Darcy should win every race he rides in. Fact is he makes as many semis as Tai does yet doesnt often get further. Has to be a slight issue temprement wise -

Gavan replied to Star Lady's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Wow strange choices from the Danes! Pedersen Iversen Bjerre and MJJ are the best 4 with Kildemand or Hans as reserve. As much as I like Mads he isn't in the class or experience of the other boys. Time to lump on the poles and wouldn't surprise me if the swedes or Aussies grab 2nd. -

Re-live 3 Old World Finals 1981,1982,1987
Gavan replied to racers and royals's topic in Years Gone By
but at least over a season the best rider will become world champion. If the world final was at Copenhagen Troy Batchelor would have been number one! -

Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Your statement is spot on. Though a certain person thinks silver is what we should get and then only then has Rosco done well!! Laughable. Team GB have over achieved no 2 ways about it And for those people saying ' we should expect to be in the final' no we shouldnt not with the pool of riders we have and that is down to the people who run the sport at grass roots. Do the Americans ' expect' to be in the final? No they dont. Quite right like us they used to be a force with Hancock, Hamill, Ermolenko, Correy but they dont ahve that pool of riders and neither do we. We have done well to make the final so stop bleating and enjoy it. I personally think we will be 4th but if we are in for a scrap for bronze i would take that -
Swc Event 1 King's Lynn 26/07/14
Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Mate you are talking absolute rubbish!! Last year in the race off Australia had THE SAME 4 RIDERS!!! They scored 36 points against us scoring 28 Event 1 this year with THE SAME 4 RIDERS Australia scored, wait for it...........36 points. They were no different to the same Australia as last year so they werent under par they were the same. True weakened without Holder......same as last year!!!! You have no argument so stop making yourself look silly. Ward was below par but Doyle and Batchelor scored more. Oh and in case you were wondering as well at Lynn last year good old Middlos choices got 5 between them. This year Rosco's choices got 21!!!!! Its not rocket science to say we are better than last yera with a better manager. One last thing, if you knew anything about speedway just getting to the final with the pool of riders we have is an achievement, anything else is a bonus, so please stop spouting the 'if we come 2nd' crap because if you knew anything you know we have no hope of beating a full strength Polish and Danish side. We may scrape 3rd if we are lucky. Why is it so difficlut to admit Rosco has done better than Middlo did??? Take your blue tints off man!! -

absolutly spot on though there are still people who think that the track was awful. as i say put 4 riders of equal ability and you would have good racing at Lynn -

Gavan replied to Bagpuss's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
mate you must realise by now that Starman doesnt post facts just rambles on and even when presented with the facts as myself and you just have we still wont get a reasoned response. The fact is GB didnt get lucky we beat 2 of the teams that beat us last year. Except this year we had a manager who could actually pick the right riders and motivate them. Come on Starman for once take your Poole hat off, stop making yourself look stupid, and admit Rosco has done better than Middlo. I wont hold my breath! -

Red light or no red light, Darcys behaviour in parking on the track and then in the pits was a reaction of a total spoilt brat And yes if it was a gb rider i would say the same -

Ladies and gentleman please go on the last page of the thread of 'Middlo Quits' It is very very comical with all of Starmans comments listed it makes for great reading. Things like 'nobody can do better not even Rosco lol@ Honestly please read.
