  1. Denis Sigalos was silky smooth a clean rider who could pass inside and out,and great tem man.as was cowboy cook. I grew up watching Andy Galvin,who was always in the thick of the action!!! A great racer and team rider. Kelly Moran was a pleasure to watch and talk to,sadly missed.
  2. What i dont get is that Bridger had one of his best seasons in Speedway for Lakeside and he ends up quitting the sport at the endd of the season because in his words I fell out of love with speedway"".Surely the past season should have spurred him on to go even better this year,but it seems to have the opposite effect!!!.Whats he gonna do now work wise?
  3. What about a yellow/red card system issued by start marchall and backed up by the ref.
  4. Will ward get any restrictions on his passport,will this go down anywhere else on public record?
  5. What would have happened if KK stayed on and completed 4 laps?!! most proberbly nothing,i still think its only G Broadie who has excluded a rider after a race has finished,and where did that come from after all those years where nothing was being done!!!.Ill think we will have to wait a number of years again before a ref excludes a rider after the race!!! which in my mind was totally wrong when it did happen.
  6. Phillip,did anything happen in the pits when KK ran across the centre green and into the pits to find Nikki? Many KK reations tipped the balance in his favour when the ref saw that!!
  7. With Tai,ithink hes been brought up the aussie way,where you fight tooth and nail to achieve their goals,If you look at riders like Harris,Holder,and tai,they are all easy going to speak to but once on a bke,a diff metal approash kicks in.
  8. Not only that,but when he does win a race he celebrates like he has one some title or something!!!Then in his next ride goes back to dropping ths clutch 5 hours after everyone else!!! I made a rare visit to coventry this week and chris was superb value.Maybe hes just better riding in a team then on his own.
  9. If this went to be herd in a court anywhere in the world what would the outcome be? Darcy has already had brushes with the law in the uk,and back in Australia,ALL with alcohol involved.i dont think he would get a slap on the wrist would he?!!!
  10. Im most prob having a brain faid moment but who makes the Golden Tyre?
  11. Does anyone know if Darcy has a manager,or a member of his pit crew(they all look young)that takes overall charge,like say in Emil S, Or T Gollob camps? .Like a lot of others have said,i love to watch him race,but surely people like Middlo whos been there and done,or even someone like Jason Crump would be ideal for him,because Darcy wouldnt dare step out of line.
  12. Darcy must be around Chris Holder and the other GP boys,but i just dont understand him having Alcohol on a GP weekend,Surely Holder or whoever must see this and warn him of his actions.Also being sponsored by Monster,why the hell didnt he drink their products to stop him dehydrating? ITS LABELLED MONSTER ENERGY so if any drink can do the trick that can. Does anyone else think that there must be some other staff mixed in to get a bad test,i cant see Dacy sitting in a public resturant with the GP circus in town drinking alcohol,surely hes not that stupid!!
  13. Hope one of the promoters send him an invite to a meeting,maybe Jon Cook could get him down to lakeside,on the promise of a go on a speedway bike!!! I can see the headlines now............................!!!
  14. Are those horrible looking square things on top of some riders crash helmets cameras,as we never seem to get any footage from them?! They are real ugly and look like they could slow the rider down!!!
  15. Im still waiting to hear from Poole speedway at what Nikki Pedersen said after the worlds richest race at Wimbourne road!!!!
  16. A couple of question i would just like to out there. 1 Do Team GB have a special engine tuner for ALL of the riders taking part. 2 Danny King who rides in the 4,s this afternoon,but how many bikes has he compared with the other riders? Ie Were they the best they could possibly be in Poland? 3 Do team GB have any extra back up staff for this one very important meeting? 4 Do Team Gb get any extra funds to tune the engines? 5 Peter Jones in the best engine tuner in the world in my eyes but do team GB get his services for the event.Ie in the pits. 6 Whover picks the GB team,would it be better to pre plan a rider fixtures in advance so they can get the very best practice in Sweden and Poland or wherever,in the first half of the year so they know what coming when the world cup comes around.I dont know where the next world cup final is but wherever it is go and practice in the winter/Sspring to get used to all options.
  17. Eurospor live outdoor broadcast just about managed to get to the end!! When they turned the track lights off i thought they were going to get pelted big time,but the boys looked cool under pressure!!!
  18. be honest people!!<Westher it was foul riding or not,how many fans would even think about looking at tinkering with the result after that heat,when there was still much riding on the event to be had? It didnt even cross my mind in the race that anything would be looked at.Are we now going to get a new verdict after every tough heat,come on folks,i cant remember when this last happened and ,1 man has just ruined the event over one heat when you see tough riding week in week out.
  19. Well i cant even think why the ref would even look at that particular race to exclude a rider,if the refs are going to do that the meetings will take forever to finish,really was a shocking decision, and it could open up riders play acting ,looking for a gap thats not there then chucking a wobbly after the race to get the refs attention.why even Jim Lynch would concider what he did i just cant understand,hes been around for years,how many times has he made a decision to alter the race like that in all the years hes been a ref? Team GB are doing very well out of this years world cup,just looking at their sponsors on Roscos polo shirt,wonder what Mercedes Benz sponsorship is? maybe a new car to every rider if we win the world team cup!!!!!
  20. Poland seem to get extra power from somewhere from their bikes when it comes to riding a final in Poland.Hope Gollob does ride as knowone rides the track like him.
  21. Great ,super news about Andre,i was dreading looking for news this morning,but thankfully it doesnt appear too bad.Did remind me of the Ales Dryml crash at Oxford a few years ago,but Andre was just so unlucky with this crash.
  22. On the plus side,fair play to Simon Stead for getting us off to a great start,ive had a go at Simon in the past that for his style of racing and not letting the bike flow,but what do i know,he was focused and smooth,and looked like he wanted to be there with a bike tuned by ashley Holloway who was there in the pits to help him out.The bike was superbly set up for heat 1,simon looked very well prepared and just didnt turn up and hope for the best from the bike,it looked like they put the effort in and got the rewards.
  23. Well at least Darcy now knows like the rest of us when the red light comes on he needs to have fuel in his bike!!!!! simples,make sure you have enough fuel and you wont see any red light!s!!!
  24. whats the problem on the squad system rather then move race nights? I for one like to travel to away fixtures when ive got time off,or im on holiday.The only good thing uk speedway has going for it is that you can go racing most days of the week,if your an anorak fan like myself!!
  25. Anyone know the story behind P Dudeks 69 racing number in these championships?!! sorry its Alans fault with the link!!!
