FAST GATER

Kurtz is not without backup either I'm sure Doyle on his swansong would be happy to oblige if required .

IMO that is where BZ may lose the title he has not done well in that historically compared to Kurtz

I would me thrilled to see BZ makes it seven world titles five on the spin as IMO he is the greatest rider I have ever seen and possible of all time ,on recent form he has not IMO been at the top of his game .I take nothing away from Kurtz or Lambert (his recent form has been outstanding ) anyone of the three fully deserve to win the title my wish is BZ ,Lambert and Kurtz in that order we don't have long now to find out !

I think Scotty manager Doyle ( now he has dropped GP'S ) back he's a points machine at home and IMO he is fading on those big open tracks like the NSS .You could then build a younger team around him maybe even tempt Emil back just about the cost more than anything else I would imagine .

He's all but got one hand on the World Title who could blame him for freewheeling a bit ,I'm not a fan but he or Lambert deserve the title if they beat the GOAT !

A credit to the sport in every way RIP .

He rode like this couple of years ago and then seemed to calm down and knock in some good scores ,I have often noticed that riders coming to the end of their time seem to come off more than they did .Think his GP days are all but over and hope he can do a couple of more years in the leagues ,time catches up with all of us eventually unfortunately .

I think this Kutz title he is such a good gater would love BZ to do it but he just can't get out of the gate these days and you can't give Kurtz a head start .

I suspect that he was obliged to do so . I often thinks that when former pro sports people have been retired for a number of years the value of their input diminishes .This why Scott who is still active and about retire would make a perfect replacement IMO, I like Kelvin but he needs some up to date help at the very least .

Imo the track last night didn't seem to have much grip with the highlight for some being Thomsen's pass on BZ ,it was overall gate and go . The Aussies deserved the win they were by far the best team in a team event ,speaking personally I didn't care who won I was more interested in the racing and in many ways it proved what I have always thought .S/way is a team sport ridden by individuals someone commented that BZ rides differently in GP's or league matches they are spot on he is on a personal mission in the GP's and is paid a huge amount of money in the league . Kurtz and Lambert are in a different place they are on the cusp of being at the very top of the sport ,both now real threats to BZ which is great for the sport and even BZ as you are only as good as the competition and need to be kept on your toes . My point being no matter where it was held these type of meetings never really catch fire because what's truly at stake !

Make the point on the track by beating him fair and square .

WHY ?

I wonder whether it matters that much to them ( the Polish riders I mean) no real money in it and they are not going to get bang up for it !

Why dose he do that always the same outcome !

I wonder whether this will confirm to Sotty that that it maybe the appropriate time to call it a day ,the season will be all but over by the time the injury heals and he has nothing to prove .

Why he was beaten far and square as he has done to BZ in previous GP's !

BZ will have his work cut out tonight with both lambert and Kurtz at the top of their game and Dudek in the mix as well .

Woryna I think he has great ability and skill but just needs to calm it down a little .

The sport is dangerous enough without unnecessary reckless actions being taken ,I was glad to see the back of NP and his ilk ,I genuinely cannot comprehend anyone wanting to watch a rider deliberately fence another ,the consequences of these actions often lead to significant and often career ending injury .I have no issue with robust riding or if a mistake is made but to substitute skill and ability with fear that you don't care for your's or fellow riders safety has no place in this sport .

perhaps for GP's but they are both solid performers at league level

on this occasion i think you are correct

ht 18 will be interesting to say the least !

Didn't fancy BZ chances here could decide the title race tonight

Hopefully it is nothing too bad sadly he like few others are reaching the stage where injury and age is catching up with them .

I think the significant amount of money he has earned in a relatively weak PL might be part of the reason ,fair play to him hope he has earned a good retirement out of it .
