Agree but under the old one off system was it easier to be World Champ,Id say it was.I mean would Egon Muller ever have been World Champ under this GP system.
We are only having this debate because GB came so close to getting to the final,if we had come a distant fourth as many predicted then we would have all said it was a good learning curve for the young riders.Bridgers performance was poor but hopefully next time he can learn from last night and do much better,remember Nicholls performance in the GP at this track didnt excatly set the world alight in-fact if memory serves me right he was stone dead last.
This topic has been done to death,Im in total agreement with you about Olsen but the fact is if the powers that be choose to do nothing then we are left with this borefest.He has turned a meeting with a chance to see great racing into a gateing competition.
Its a shame that alcohol seems to ruin what should be a great day out and if speedway wants to pride itself as a familly sport then hopefully something will be done but I wont hold my breath.Im sure if you look back at the threads from last years Cardiff GP Id bet much the same kind of thing was posted then.
People enjoying a drink is no problem but unfortunately some people dont know when enough is enough.
Completely wrong.Emil spat out his dummy big time,Nicholls had every right to be livid with Emil after he almost fenced him coming out of turn two on lap one,it was hard racing from Nicholls and if Emil cant take it then he is better off out of the GP series.As for the Russians pit crew,what a complete disgrace they are.
Not there myself so dont know the facts but Ive no reason to question what you say as these particular names are well known for this sort of behaviour.
Agree about the track but its a problem with temporary tracks.Hard luck on Chris Harris who made a good them hit a rut,took off towards the fence and came last,but for that he just may have sneaked into the semi-finals.Nicholls,yet another GP nightmare and to be honest he might be better off out of there asap.
Nicholls has dropped Britain to improve his GP performances,he was awful in the first one and truely awful in the second.His performances in Poland are so bad he is facing the very real prospect of losing his team place there,Sweden isnt a huge amount better.You may have a point about his position in last years GP series but its the here and now Im looking at and I dont see much improving over the coming GPs.
Nicholls is indeed the best of a not very good bunch but that not very good bunch is getting better I believe,thats why I cant see Nicholls winning come wednesday.Woffinden,Bridger and Richardson are getting better,Nicholls on the other hand seems to be in reverse.
It will indded,its a chance for Nicholls to silence one or two critics but looking at the field there are one or two riders who could be a problem for our current Champion.For Nicholls to show us that missing the EL is making him a better rider where would he have to finish,rostrum at least Id say.
