Dunaplop

It's got to be Herbie... I promise not the bet on him because whenever I do he looses, so after the last GP I am keeping my hand firmly in my pocket.

Great idea... We were there last year right oposite the start in the middle of the Bydgoszcz MASSIVE!!! Be sure to get there early ( I mean early..), we arrived at 1pm last year, and don't forget some bribes for the Poles. We arrived and as soon as they realised we were English (think the union jack T-shirts and wigs helped!!) they gave us three cans of beer! We returned the favour with three pints of Polands finest LECH beer and became friends for life. Was only slightly concerned later when the hash pipe came our way!! and not to mention the Vodka and plastic container of gerkins!! To see Gollob win there was unreal. His fans are fanatical and you just don't realise it unitl you see it in the flesh. Enjoy....

I totally agree. I thought that the racing was pants. I am getting fed up with these temporary tracks. I used to go to all the GP's and now I only choose the ones that are raced on proper tracks, which isn't many now. Think back to last year and the GP at Gothenburg was also pants, no racing, and riders split by seconds over the line. Interviews with the riders saying that the track was "the same for everyone", isn't good enough. I know they were comparing the track to last Sat, but as far as I'm concerned, it just wasn't up to scratch. And before anyone says I'm biases, I don't have a favourite rider. I just want to see good speedway, which I'm affraid BSI are robbing us of. Slovenia, this year and Bydgosczc last year show just what the riders can do... All GP's should be like those. As far as Grumpy was concerned, I also agree. What a brat. He is probably one of the most miserable, unfriendly riders in our sport and he really should grow up. It's great to be determined, but get a life Crump.

Actually I don't like Jason Crump much, and I've amazed myself by sticking up for him, but I do believe that he was pushed to the limit when he made the retort. He had tried to find a quiet, out of the way, place to get over his anger and upset, and I believe Trees is right when she says that the Sky cameraman was just focusing on him to get such a reaction :!: Sorry, but I totally disagree. Crump, along with every other sports person/celeb is in the public eye. The fact that he went away from the pits is irrelevant. If he wanted to be on his own that much, he sould have gone inside his van or somewhere more private. This comes with the job I'm affraid, and he should be able to handle it. Of course the camera's wanted a reaction, and they got one didn't they!! Well done SKY Sports that's what I say. Did you see Tony Rickardsson telling the camera man to f*** off? No, he just smiled and carried on. This surely highlights the difference between them, and underlines why Tony is a five times World Champion. It's called professionalism. People like Crump make me laugh, they want the coverage when they are close to winning the World title, but don't film me when I'm upset. Sorry, but it doesn't work like that. You've got to take the rough with the smooth.

I seem to remember making the trip last summer with PB tours. A tremendously hot day spent on a coach lost in Belgium. We arrived at the track late and then missed the ferry home! The track was probably one of the worst I've seen. The holes in it were incredible! I also remember a really hard concrete "safety" fence!

As far as I understand it, a rider just has to turn up and sign on for the GP, then he gets his points. He doesn't even have to turn a wheel. AJ should have gone if he was that bothered. Maybe he wasn't? Maybe, as you say, he's already guaranteed a 2004 spot!
