I cannot go anyway, but i WILL be cheering on Team GB, as i always do. I just cannot see them winning in the final. But i`ll be cheering thats for sure.

Ha ha ha, very funny At this time. Looking at their mannerisms, the way they think and talk and how they ride, i say no they will not win. Just being realistic thats all. Teams like Denmark and Aussie perhaps Poland too, seem to be stronger mentally (more focused, confident in themselves). I would love to see Team GB win, but at this present time i doubt it. All the best

Not a chance. Team GB will hopefully make the final, but they will not win.

Yesterday i agree the team rode well and some above theirselfs. But when individually or has a team was the last time Team GB (England) won anything? Did they go on in following years to follow the likes of the Danes in the Eighties, Sweden, Aussie or Poland in sustaining that level of WINNING play? I think not. Remarkable as it was to have the likes of Peter Collins, Chris Morton, Gary Havelock and Mark Loram as one time winners. It has been few and far between in success. I would love to see Team GB and the individual members of british speedway have a more consistant, sustained level of success. So how do we achieve that aim? It is all and well doing well and coming second or third or forth all the time, but if you want to be remembered you have to win. And in order to win, you must be determined to do so, and not settle for an also ran. Which at the moment some of our riders do. So how do they change that, you may ask? It`s all in the mind, confidence, using your wisdom, being a step ahead of the others, out wit them and think as a champion. Oh well time i went out, see ya

I agree it was a fantastic meeting. Though i had a feeling GB would lose. It is their attitude it is always defeatism. There is never we are going to win this or that. We might, but we`ll be there in the play offs, er come again. I am tired of being second or third best. But that is the British for you. Whatever sport we are in. None of them ( English sportsmen) believe in themselfs, and almost all of them settle for second best. Time for change i say! Start in believing in your ability and focus on winning and nothing else. Yes the lads did well, but we have got to be first over the winning line at some point. And it is better to be first at the end of the meeting instead of in the middle. I am not having a go, but they have to change their mind set. Take Care

Hans Andersen. Wow!! Well done my son!! Can we have him at Oxford next year please?! Is there anyone who can take up the challenge to Jason Crump now? Leigh Adams!! What are you like? You are a bloody brilliant rider, but you give up to easily when it matters the most. Keep Smiling PD P.S It was a good G.P to watch.

Well i am pleased that Oxford`s true speedway legend still holds the track record at Oxford. Hans Nielsen was always a far better all round rider than Tony Rickardsson could ever be.
