Mr. Clemens

That's the point 'Let's face he would never get a better chance and yet he was still a poor second'' I think he realised belatedly that he missed a golden opportunity and I do believe he will drift further away from it as time goes by And by the same token I think that Bartoz, and the people around him, understand the situation with the opposition and realise he could win 4 or 5 titles on the trot thereby adding credence to the plaudit of 'greatest rider of all time.' It's easy done as old Brucie used to say 'if you play your cards right'. I think he will make the great attempt to do so.

6 at Poole 6 in Poland Ford would sign Bartoz and call it a win win situation The clue and the symmetry of it all are in the P's

Totally agree. What I am saying doesn't denigrate the standard of racing in general, that is in the leagues and in the GPs It’s the future, just like it is with football and the Champions League Eventually all the major clubs in Europe will break away from FIFA and set up their own organisation and teams will play their games all over the world just like Formula One Racing. EG Manchester United will play Real Madrid in Tokyo and Man U supporters and RM supporters will watch it on TV at their respective stadiums. That's why Murdoch wanted to buy Man U so to control the TV rights. He pulled out when FIFA put the kybosh on it and compromised with the Champions League. But it will come as sure has night follows day Poland will be the place for speedway and TV interest will gravitate in that direction

Does it? You tell me?

The Poles will be pushing to have it in Poland every year, for the reasons stated here and the TV companies will agree That's the future of Speedway total Polish domination at all levels

That's why they had it in sweden then poland

It was regarded as the 'spiritual home' and Fundin himself said it should have been there every year

If we can watch local football, which we do, we can go to speedway meetings The only reason we don't go to speedway is we have a caring government who are afraid we'll get dust in our eyes

The only reliable sauce is HP Fruity Sauce

Any way now that's out of the way, How's Donnie doing ???

I think Tai just realised if he'd pulled his finger out from the word go he could have won it That's another title that's slipped away from him

The result, then, might be that the standard will only deteriorate if it stays the same or changes are made

I'm serious because, for me, other than Bartoz Tai and Freddie the rest of them weren't up for it

I hope they get some new blood in the GPS Listening to these interviews suggest they are a tired bunch of performers who really need a deep influx of enthusiasm If they don't Bartoz will walk it next year

Has he been on the Helium ????

If the virus remains and the GPs are in Poland next year look out for Triple Crown Plus

Now there was a surprise Well done lad

You're a fool if you don't take advantage of it

My money was always on Zmarlik from the moment the GPS were announced and six of them were in Poland

Good race that from Tai When did Lindback wake up

I think the FIM and BSI want to get away from the possibility that the young Poles will come to dominate the GP's, which would be great for Poland but not for world speedway as those 2 bodies might possibly see it. They know that once Polish domination is total, interest from audiences around the world will diminish accordingly. The problem these bodies have, regarding young riders from other countries becoming good enough, is the reason you gave and it will be interesting to see how they solve it. Perhaps they could sponsor them themselves.

Doesn't say a lot for the quality of riders in speedway does't ???

Good to see the FIM and BSI agree that the GP's need a shake up reducing the automatic qualifiers to 6 but should have made it three. This is to increase the competition because of the riders who don't seem to be pulling their weight.

Just read on Facebook Bernie Persson has died Great Rider RIP

A close meeting that's how it should be hope the return is just as balanced
