Think it was shorter in those days and after his crash they made it longer -

I thought it was almost exactly the same place to be honest -

Couldn't really see from where I was but just a typical Danish manouvre, you always take a risk going around the outside of one of them -

I don't think that at all. He was never a rider to mix it in the GP's either, relied a lot on gating/speed - some might say 'gating tart'. He was trying in his first two races and then again at the start of his third but when they got close, he backed off. -

Exactly, British speedway requires skillful riders, not just throttle jockeys. However it was his first time at foxhall I think but nevertheless, when riders got close to him in his last ride he wimped out of battling with them. -

If he didn't dangle his leg off the footrest mid bend every time he may find it more stable. Adapt your riding! -

Laguta wet himself in Ht 11 so not surprised he's been replaced in Ht 13. -

Why waste the tactical in a guaranteed 3-3 race with Emil, odd team management from Lynn. -

Dislocated shoulder -
I'm not disagreeing with that, I disagree that he's the greatest GB rider in history - do you not understand the difference?

British Final 2023
SPEEDY69 replied to Hackett's topic in Speedway Testimonials & Individual and Shared Events
Don't forget he hasn't been contracted to ride in the Premiership this year either (other than a few guest appearances). Shame though as he's having a great season. -

Why on earth do premiership teams use Sam Hagon - does he pay them to ride? Seriously, they can't think he'll beat anyone at this level so seems such a strange choice. What have I missed? -
If you mean for Wolves then fine but disagree completely if you mean GB's greatest.

He's renowned for it, often stuffs his team mate around Foxhall!

Simon Stead and Oliver Allen.... Stand down?
SPEEDY69 replied to eric i's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I don't think it makes much difference. The bikes never reach their top speed and there is a fair amount of resistance. Tiny riders in history have not been more successful, schofield, turner, bjerre as three examples. -
Now that GP riders are realising there is definite benefit to riding in the UK they seem to be coming back. As Artem is finding, it's not that easy over here.

And the GOAT Nielsen It's ability not height or even weight. -
Surprised you've not seen Danny King before?

Kings Lynn Stars Vs Peterborough Panthers

Whilst I agree with you, if they are exploited in the right way they could provide some additional tech insight - fastest rider, fastest lap etc. to keep youngsters interested whilst we try to fill in our programmes with pens.
