FAST GATER

Never a truer word said in jest !!!!

Worst gates and still wins the GOAT !

great race from Dan

I just wonder if Doyle is done in the GP's !

he is taking BZ gate picks !

I must admit I thought that the riders should keep their racesuits on .

I have never been a fan of Morris either as a rider or whatever he is supposed to be in s/way now . They seem to be trying mess BZ about anyway they can total BS ,technical penalties/exclusions are why I don't watch F1. Hope he blows the lot away tonight even though got the worst draw !

IMO this sprint thing etc has been brought in to stop BZ winning again as he never appears to be great in qualifying , would have been far better to let the Russians in ( still think he would win ) thus ending the speculation of how good he really is .

Excellent news that Tai is on the mend hopefully will fully recover to lead a long and healthy life ,with regards to speedway I think that a decision is some way down the road . Imo people either over- under estimate wealth ,speedway is in real terms expensive to participate in, even at the very top compared to the overall rewards .

Sad to hear of what appears to be a possible career ending crash ,Tai should perhaps give retirement serious consideration on this occassion wishing him a speedy and full recovery .

I was just wondering if there was any news on Scott ,I suspect that he may have had time with his injury to consider this the perfect time to retire as a rider .

Pitiful for risking life and limb !

speedway has been desperately short of a"white knight " for decades the amount of time ,effort and money to boost the sport has always been vastly underestimated I suspect WBD have now learnt this !

I feel there this could be good for the sport the ,attedance was greatly reduced from that of years ago at Cardiff so the demand for tickets will be less .This will allow for the reduced capacity of the NSS ,at the end of the day I go for the racing we have in the NSS one of the finest tracks in the world . The other thing is if Bewley dose not cleanup both nights ( 40 points) he's never going to be WC Imo !

IMO we should give B/Vue a chance it is one of the finest tracks in the world ,I went to Cardiff for a number of years but cost and the track itself were the main reasons I stopped going .

Starke is a mystery to me a few years ago his scoring just dropped off a cliff ,no big injury if I am not mistaken his form just fell away and has never recovered !

Joe was a great rider, IMO he and John Jackson ( he had quite a unique style himself ) were the two greatest riders to have ridden in the old NL of the 70's .

Peter is/was a good rider but in recent years he has job staying on the bike at times ,IMO his best years arre behind him but I do hope he proves me wrong .

I agree he should be punished for crimes he committed but can't help thinking what a waste ,he was at times a great rider to watch and wasted an opportunity many never get !

He will have broken the terms of early release which mens he will now probably have to serve the full setence handed down to him in the first place .

Could not agree more !

i'm sure BZ will adjust his strategy accordingly ,I can only assume it is aimed at him as the rest of the riders a fairly evenly matched IMO.

I would go along with that riders seem obsessed with power and IMO the likes of Poland are able to build tracks to accommodate these rocket machines .In this country most of the power is needed to get off the start ,even then this will vary from rider to rider naturally taller heavier riders will need more than shall we say shorter lighter riders. Scott Nicholls has said this is one of the reasons he has always struggled on big fast tracks ,the natural power to weight ratio . Look at the GP's BZ , Hancock compared to Freddie or Doyle who are natrally going to be heavier need more power to get the bike off the start.That power is then unmanageable during the race on many occasions, hence why we see bikes picking up and heading for the fence !

They look ugly without covers on !

Used to be quite often problems with the mag ,some said that one's put on by Jawa in the 70's were off cement mixers .
