I'd have gone for Pickering, a lot more aggressive on all types of tracks than both. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, on a big slick Polish track I would go Cook or Tungate, Warsaw would be more suited to Pickering imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted yesterday at 04:47 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 04:47 PM Just come across a fan guide for Warsaw and i have seen that Practice is open to the fans on Friday - it starts at 3pm local time and entrance is at gate 2 by means of a 30zl programme which are on sale at the gate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're gonna do well to finish 4th 😬 Amazing how thing's have changed in just a couple of years for GB. The next couple of years are looking even worse for us as a group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackett Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Going to be a long night for Team GB. Questionable whether that team would have got through the Semi-Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next couple of years are looking even worse for us as a group. Nowhere near enough development of young UK riders over the past two decades has delivered the only output it could.... The NDL was seen as "too strong" so got diluted, so clubs stopped riding in it, and entry level places were no longer there given the reduced number of teams.. The Championship then used the better NDL riders and also used loads of journeymen foreign riders which, again, took places away for UK riders.. The Championship became "too strong" with loads of tier one HL's and SS's doubling up, which also took places for developing riders.. The result? No bridge between the third level and the top tier, which the second tier should be.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next couple of years are looking even worse for us as a group. But in five years time Lambert and Bewley should be at their peak. Add in Rushen and Cairns who if all goes well will be approaching world class. Then one of Flint, Brennan and Dan Thompson could be a solid number five after another five years of solid improvement or maybe someone else will be in contention?

szkocjasid Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago For GB I wouldn't have picked Rushen or Cairns, their time will come, but don't think it would benefit them riding this early in their career against such strong opposition, plus GB have stronger options. I'd have used Lawson if he rode in the British Final, maybe King would've been my pick ahead of Brennan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether thats by accident or design I'm not sure. Agree in Cairns & Cooper, Saturday evening showed how far off they are at the moment. Their time will come.

I think you'll find Tungate holds the longest unbeaten record in SGP history, all gained on a temporary track 😉 Edited 9 hours ago by PersonalResponsibility 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
