  1. No offence but this topic is only half a page down titled SWC race rards. http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/ind...showtopic=42876
  2. So did anyone watch it in HD? was it much better then SD or not much difference?
  3. Controversial decisions of the Polish referee, Marek Wojaczek, during Cardiff GP, has caused a lot of bad feelings among speedway supporters. The internet website www.sportowefakty.pl, has asked Mr Wojaczek to justify them. " I've acted according to the rules" - said Mr Wojaczek. That's all I can say in answer to your question. The rules are straightforward - if there is possibility to pin point the rider causing the stoppage of a race, then this rider ought to be excluded. In my opinion Leigh Adams, as well as Bjarne Pedersen extended their line and because of that they were excluded" - explains Marek Wojaczek. Mr Wojaczek's decisions made it possible for the Danish World Champion, Nicki Pedersen, to progress into the final. This in turn created speculation about possible pressure inflicted on referees from Ole Olsen, who is also responsible for preparing the Grand Prix tracks. Mr Wojaczek denied any of these, saying: " I can only speak for myself. There was no pressure whatsoever during the event. I doubt if there was any pressure put upon referees during any other events. I doubt it whether any referee would allow himself to be influenced by outside pressure. The Polish referee is convinced that he made the right decision and claims that they were not questioned by the FIM authorities. "After the GP event there is always a meeting of the GP jury in the presence of Mr Roy Otto, the chairman of FIM Track Comission. Nobody raised this matter and nobody questioned my decisions. Did Nick Pedersen benefit from Marek Wojaczek's decisions. Yes, he did. If that is the case then another question raises its head - were Leigh Adams and Bjarne Pedersen wronged by Mr Wojaczek? "During a race, riders' names don't come into reckoning. What counts is the rider - in white, red, blue and yellow. I always make decisions on this understanding, regardless of which name is actually on a track. My decisions were consistent because both situations were almost identical. I believe that there was no error of judgement on my part". - said Mr Wojaczek.
  4. Most of the fans were booing him because of the way he was staying down on the track for ages each times whilst his bike was getting repaired.
  5. Anyone know what happened to Billy Forsberg? He was excluded in his second ride and didn't ride again.
  6. There is some sort of motocross jumping display too.
  7. Mikael, have you managed to upload this weeks meeting yet?
  8. Not seen this anywhere, are there two under 15's races this year? If so anyone know the lineup?
  9. It was the new cut out that was to be compulsory in FIM events then the FIM realised it was crap.
  10. Read somewhere Andy Smith saying the new cut outs were fine if they are dry but if you get water in them they cause problems, seeing as bike gets wet regulary you would have thought they would have made them waterproof!
  11. Not always easy for referees to see and most probably not bothered but if they wanted to be picky then could fine, whenever on a bike must always have cut out on wrist, same applies to mechanics etc when warming them up. Rule 10.46.4 in the rulebook.
  12. Completely illegal, if the ref sees it they get maximum fine.
  13. Has everyone got their tickets now? Some people I know got them on Friday last week but ours still not come yet.
  14. No they definatly don't check your age and don't even look at the ticket, just scan the barcode, there is a few people in our group in the past who are in late 40's early 50's and got the concession ticket and not had a problem.
  15. From Venice Treviso it is 67 miles to Lonigo, 84 miles to Verona. It is 24 miles from Verona to Lonigo.
  16. Thats because the pound is so bad, we went to Slovenia and the exchange rate to Euros was 1.19 when it was around 1.45 last year.
  17. Easy answer, Prague. Easy to get to from the airport and far far cheaper then Copenhagen. Danish GP is next week, leaving it a bit late to make these decisions aren't you?
  18. Public transport is pretty much impossible, especially getting back afterwards, need to hire a car really. We've always flown in Venice Treviso spent a day there and then stayed in Verona (really nice town)
  19. Have used both, never had problems with either, there are loads of arlines that fly to Prague, use this site to find the best prices : http://www.skyscanner.net/ Getting there at 13.40 gives you loads of time, only takes half an hour to get into centre of Prague by bus/underground.
  20. Loads of hotels if you are looking for somewhere cheap have a look at pensions, they are like a 1* hotel but clean and ok to get your head down. Not sure how you get to the track direct from the airport but its easy getting the bus/underground into the centre then the tram to the track. http://www.my-prague-hotels.com/ http://www.accomm-prague.cz/ http://www.hotels-of-prague.com/
  21. You are so f***ing ungrateful. I've just downloaded it in an hour and a half, uncompressed it using Winrar and it plays fine in Windows Media Player. Don't blame others if you can't do it, people have been trying to help you. This isn't in a tiny window like Polish League this is top quality stuff that someone has recorded and put online for us, so stop moaning.
  22. He looked left as he was coming off the fourth bend, nothing wrong with that, sees Jonsson is on the inside of him, decides to ride a tighter line down the home straight, they don't make contact until after the start/finish line a long time since he had looked left! They way some of you are going on as if he looked left and and then turned right into Jonsson, that didn't happen at all.
  23. No hes not! Watch it again time after time : http://www.svt.se/svt/road/Classic/shared/...187&d=35828 He had a look coming out of 4th bend but like I said all riders do that but going down the straight his helmet looking straight forward.
