Possibly the most frustrating GP rider of all time!

Should get Dave Norris back he was a very good co commentator

Its normally the only meetings where its a packed crowd AND on TV tho

Well 1996 it was won on the last heat of the series so you never know... I think in the 3 different versions of scoring they've had, I cant remember when it didnt end up with the best rider not being crowned world champion regardless. For a new fan, it is kind of weird seeing a guy with 20 point finishing 2nd to a guy on 14 points but it hasnt caused that many problems in the last however many years. No real need to change it but not the end of the world if they do. In my opinion the most important thing is venues and track prep. Get those right and the rest will be fine.

I agree with Michelsen. Smolenski however was essentially robbed after having a clear race win taken off of him by flag mans mistake at the GP Challenge.

I think its fair to say that as much as most of us are in agreement that Lindback is lucky to get a pick, he hasn't been chosen in front of a possible title contender, he's been picked over younger riders who would mostly likely finish a few places above or below 8th place. So yes not a brilliant pick but also hardly complete travesty. averaged 7 points a GP, make a decent amount of semis. Not a huge fan of his, but I dont think its a complete travesty. RE Hancock, he's deserved this wild card at the absolute very least. Despite his age and time out, I'd be very surprised if he wasn't competitive. If he isn't he will bow out gracefully. Thats the kind of guy he is. Laguta, well Id prefer his brother but is is Artem one of the best 15 riders in the world? I think most would agree absolutely.

Any link?

I went in 2012 It hammered down with Rain for about an hour before. The roof covered most of the track and they put actual covers on the parts exposed to the elements. The Meeting went ahead and was an absolute belter. Keep my fingers crossed for you that you get to see a good un

Thats right its god awful. Thats why it attracts by far the biggest attendance of any UK Speedway even year after year.

utter Garbage? Wasnt the best but also wasnt dreadful. Plenty of overtaking for minor places, few good scraps for first. Wasnt a classic but Garbage is a bit over the top no?

Why is everyone assuming Lambert just decided not to turn up? Could well be legitimate travel problems

Death, Taxes & rain in Vojens...

I'll respectfully disagree

Yes some very good racing. The track is decent, rarely seen a bad meeting there. Plus its only an hour from Zagreb, a beautiful stadium, the best Speedway stadium I've been to outside Torun. The Pavlic family dont mess about when it comes to organization either

Get Gorican and Manchester in there Pleeeeeeeeeeease

He's still very keen so I dont think it will be any surprise at all to see him back next season if given a wild card. He finished 5th last year after a bad injury and little to no pre season Was World Champion very recently. I think it would be A. very harsh not to give him at least one last shot & B. silly to just assume he wouldn't be a contender anyway. People here are forever predicting who's going to do what next season but there are often a lot of surprises, No one woulda have predicted Nicki the first year he won it, Greg in 2010, Tai in 2013. Same as everyone assumed Holder and Lindback would be top 3 in 2013 after the way they rode in 2012. Many Thought Doyle would walk it last year... The list goes on. You just dont know.

Not to single out Pavlic it happens every year

I have to agree. The Challenge should be at the end of the season tho. And there should NOT be a local wildcard. totally unfair

They qualified fair and square - however this I very much agree with.

9 points from 4 rides including 2 race wins, he was doing ok.

Understood and I also agree with him on that as you will see from my previous posts. But PA was probably the best rider on the night in the challenge and if he (or anyone else) had qualified fair and square you can’t take that away from them. I think I just felt so sorry for the guy after he was a relatively easy ride away from qualifying and his bike packed up

Why

He’s great is Bomber, watching him win at Cardiff was possibly the most enjoyment ever had at a sporting event. However seeing him last night the length of the straight behind the others was very sad. I hope he concentrates on making some money and enjoying his racing going forward

Poor Pontus. He certainly would have got 1 point as Harris was in the race. The form he was on he had every chance of winning it and the meeting. Sport can be so cruel sometimes. speaking of Harris why are the Brits so far behind getting the correct set up at every big meeting?

Aspgren won 2 races Thomsen only 1 tho?
