I've just watched a video of the meeting and the best team won on the night without a doubt. England (Team GB if you're a PC maniac (& that's not Personal Computer BTW)) were excellent over the week and I think we'd have settled for silver (in front of the Aussies & Danes) before the SWC started but to get so close in the end left everyone gutted apart from the Danes. Heat 25 was certainly open to interpretation and would soon be forgotten under normal circumstances but these weren't normal circumstances were they? This was a vital heat in the SWC live on TV. Not a good time to make enemies. Hans succeeded and then gave a "well up yours, I've done nowt because I didn't see him when I looked round" interview to the lovely Sophie who should have chinned him. I wonder how his English manager viewed the incident?
I thought all the cr*p referees turned up at Peterborough United from August to May but it seems that speedway has its own version and it strayed into Poole on Saturday evening. I liked the way M Bates could clearly explain the reasons behind his decisions on the phone - it was about 5 second a call before he put the phone down on Middleditch, Olsen etc
