After my big loss yesterday on Division 1, I’m not feeling much hope today! However the handicap for Bydgoszcz looks very inviting after heat 8 at -4 and after heat 15 -6 so taking both of those on. You watch Nicolai Klindt bang in 18 points after being very poor yesterday!
Nothing appealing in the other matches except Oleg Mikhailov +3 over Marvin Nowak. All depends how many rides Daugavpils give him
I worry with it being a “dead rubber” that Klindt might not do the nominated races and the reserves may get an extra outting if the result is sewn up. Tricky one
I’m all for a final at the end of an event. It’s no different than in football beating every team 8-0 in the FA Cup and then losing in the ‘showcase’ final and coming runner up.
i think for a one off event like this though, 8 going through to the semi finals is way too much. I much prefer the system of rewarding the top 2 to be seeded straight to the final and then 3-6 in the last chance semi. I also like just having the top 4 go straight to the final. It just means there is interest right until the final heat which adds to the drama and overall entertainment of the meeting.
Watch out for the each way bets in-play when you get to the final... sometimes they offer them but sometimes they don’t. Normally quite easy to cash in on a final!
Blimey, I get they want to press on with the meeting quickly but he’s literally been lobbed on the stretcher and away in the ambulance in mere minutes!
Iversen over 4 looks a banker in the GP. I’ve taken abit of a gamble and backed Jaimon Lidsey fairly heavily each way in the under 21s too. He’s been mega quick in recent weeks so expect him to score quite heavily today.
Quite some schedule he’s had if he is in Sweden tonight. Poland Monday, Sweden Tuesday, Denmark Wednesday, Sweden Thursday, back to Poland for the GP at Toruń on Friday and Saturday and then onto Gorzow for Sunday. Some week that!
