The vast majority of decent tracks are in Poland a few in Denmark plus the NSS ,Cardiff is what it is ( imo the Monaco of s/way ) but they try to give other country's a go .That said last nights should be the last one staged there IMO ,I think we were lucky that there were not more serious accidents . With regard to the series being boring I have said before if you take Bart( IMO already one of the greatest riders the sport has ever seen ) out of the equation the rest are fairly well matched. If he would dominate the same with the Russians in is academic IMO he is a better rider than a couple of years ago particularly in the GP's and could still get better yet not good news for the rest , I thought he would have had a lean night last night and the other's would have closed the gap it was not to be .

Sadly I find the tone of your reply disappointing ,however the sport has had riders who been all but unscathed throughout their careers ( Mauger for example) and others who have been less fortunate Peter Collins springs to mind .Imo there is a certain amount of luck involved in whether riders have serious injuries or not during their career's and I for one don't even want to speculate about Bart coming to grief -

I must admit I find it a strange question to ask , one would assume he would return to the "once in generation " rider that he is ! -

Morris should let somone else sort the tracks and he could act as pit marshall -

I've heard it's worth the visit -
He's only 28 yrs old he could go on like this for the next 5 yrs at least , that's the problem for Bewley and Lambert he has now become more consistent as well . As KT said tonight a bad night for Bart is good night for most of the others ,he's just that much better than the rest and except for injury I think he will stand a good chance of getting 7 world titles he's aiming for .

Wolves had Tmill Tours in the 70's if my memory serves me correctly

Stops them looking like the old "Honda Plastics " ( Honda 50,70,and 90) which looked awful without the leg shields on even so they didn't look that good anyway !

IMO modern bikes look horrible without the covers but the upright were a sight to behold when presented in tip top condition ,Ivan's ,Ole's for example then you had Briggo's who's needed covering up even when clean .

I can't believe anyone would want a rider pushed into the fence on purpose with the result being a possible career ending injury or even worse ,this sport is dangereous enough without that kind of deliberate behaviour .I for one was glad to see the back of Nikki P( not withstanding his 3 World Titles ) from the series ,the last couple of years he was not an asset IMO, Doyle is a paler version who now falls off if you knock the TV. There are robust characters in the series lambert and Fast Freddie won't be pushed about but IMO but are still within the bounds of what's acceptable . Bart is head and shoulders above the rest at the moment we should make the most of it ,all the greats have purple patch this is his bring the Russians back I think he would relish their inclusion . As to improving the series there are things that could be done but if you look at the standings the other riders are pretty close together they just have to contend with an exceptional rider !
