Well, listening to Danny King's interview he said it's been getting better and better and that it's nearly where they want it... but then he did call Krystian, Thomas, so probably has no idea what he's talking about

Some may say he's not perfect now after last weekends tactics

Don't you all know you're not allowed to slag Leicester off anymore... I had a lovely night at the cinema for a fiver and came home not needing a shower

Rider A Plan A = Finish 2nd or 3rd Rider B Plan A = Finish 2nd or 3rd Manager C = Tell Riders A & B to implement Plan A and that there is no Plan B

SS Fake News?

But I thought the sun shone out of Gregs bottom

Giving this a miss... going to watch Deadpool for a fiver!

I'd say it has but they just got it wrong Good question! I got the idea No plan B needed... Plan A, don't finish last No plan B needed... Plan A, don't finish last Manzares has views on Hancock

At least the issue has now been acknowledged and answered. If that's what Tai says I'll have to accept it, I don't agree with it, but he's the one riding the bike

That's funny because in that final race he was and right on his back wheel That's disappointing to hear... perhaps Speedway is not the sport I thought it was or maybe it's just the difference between winners and losers so we would have gone from a losing position to... a losing position

So what you're saying is there was only 1 option to win?

Same result, Silver... at least he tried though

you're of the opinion that if you're in the final of a world championship you shouldn't at least try everything to win it?

I was asking it in the style of Charlie Webster

Perhaps not that one... but "Why did you go for the win from the tapes and not look back for your partner until the last bend of the last lap after so magnificently team riding during the rest of the competition?" it's a fair question to ask

Somebody should take a leaf out the the journalists book that asked Max Verstappen "Why do you keep crashing?" at this weeks F1GP, he may not choose to answer but it's the question most people are asking. I look forward to the serious journalistic questions being asked tonight and in the Speedway Star. Can you imagine the scrutiny the Poles would come under if it was them. It also makes a bit of a mockery of all of the effort that is now going into the GB Speedway Team if at the end of the day a rider is not even going to try and win, be that the riders decision deliberately or due to lack of information or the managers decision

The silence has been deafening though, everybody is rejoicing in Silver, Anybody that asks the question is shut down as a keyboard warrior

me neither... he was awesome I suppose I wanted to hear Tai say "I made the wrong call"... which of course he's never going to do with his immense self belief, that makes him so successful. Or at least give some explanation, as he'd team rode supremely throughout the rest of the competition. It's not every day you have such a chance to win a world championshp

I think they threw it away before that with their team selection, personally I would have gone with Piotr Pawlicki and Zmarzlik, Dudek is not riding as well as last year and Janowski always blows hot and cold

Apparently not though... I've had an opportunity to look at the final race again and can see that Woffy didn't look back for his partner once until the 4th bend of the 4th lap. We'll probably never know the reason why he did this as anybody that legitimately asks the question is tagged as a "keyboard warrior". Someone did ask Tai the question on Twitter, admittedly not in the best way and got shot down by everybody that worships the water Tai walks on

Agree with all of that, was it a big crowd though? I'm not a regular at Peterborough (but am becoming one again) but compared to years gone by I thought it was a poor crowd, especially for a sunny Sunday afternoon against a pretty good team. Half of the grandstand was closed though so most of the crowd was packed into one area. As I like to stand to watch my Speedway I was forced to go to the back straight or get covered in dust, Neil Watson if you read this can you do something about the volume of the tannoy on the back straight, my ears were almost bleeding after 15 heats of distorted music , I noticed the music was turned down when a rider was down injured and then cranked back up to 11 as soon as he was up... maybe 8 would do the trick!

I don't think it's about who is right and who is wrong... What a lot of people are trying to understand is why somebody with such experience of the sport and has written about it for many years can't really explain why he thinks Tai shouldn't have held Emil up to help Robert get by to win a world title other than it was unlikely that Robert would have got by... The thing is that's why we all like sport because sometimes the unlikely happens

Nice explanation... I still can't understand why you, or anybody else for that matter, thinks it was the right thing to do. And personally I think Tai was going for the win well before the last lap

You have effectively said they shouldn't have tried to win the final once the riding order was established

It sounds like you've given up on life Philip. If you're not going to try and win, why enter the competition?
