Did you not see Leon Madsen cut back going into turn 3 and pass the whole field? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinny Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 2 minutes ago, TTT said: He's a legend but he does give his competition enough chances but they never take full advantage. Kurtz in the Sprint Race, None of his real competition winning the GP's when Zmarzlik's gating has been off. Wouldn't have gotten away with it back in the day imo as Rickardsson, Crump, Pedersen would've taken full advantage of every opportunity. Exactly , the likes of Pedersen would never give him the room he gets with the current crop and life would be much more difficult for him. Take nothing away from him though, hes a great talent and should make the most of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanoXtra Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 (edited) Solid Grand Prix, well done all involved including track staff and riders. Great event and leaving people with little to complain about (apart from the camera work) but it was a good watch 👏🏻 I hope tomorrow is similar! Something tells me it would have been epic if Bewley was there! Edited June 5 by ShanoXtra . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 1 minute ago, chun said: Agreed. Kurtz is a bit of a one trick pony so needed to take advantage of two home GPs. I doubt he will have that advantage tomorrow on a wet track. Think it improves his chances tomorrow, Best Gater in the field imo but his early meeting errors cost him dearly tonight when it came to gate picks. Very lucky Zmarzlik threw the meeting away by picking Gate 4 where he was never going to make it or have much if any room when everyone was going straight to the fence. Picking Gate 4 when he hadn't made a Gate all night basically left him with two realistic choices, Ride the slick inside around bends 1 & 2 after quick cut back or ride the fence and end up laying the bike down to avoid running into the back of another rider.

chun Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Fricke was pretty ruthless in that first corner. Seen that from him before. He lifted shortly after BZ binned it. Had he done that before it might have made the decision more contentious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other 3 riders race there during our season zmarlik doesn’t think it showed in the gate picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Enjoyed it but boy did it miss Dan Bewley, Robert Lambert just doesn't seemed to have clicked with the British fans like Dan and to some extent (love him or hate him, you can't knock his record) DJ Woffy. It just seemed a bit flat without him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 Wow what a meeting was standing just before turn 3, the racing was fast and furious, some of the cut backs into this turn insane, bartoz has more speed than anyone else, can we get an engine check to make sure he's not on a 750 😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't know what a proper speedway track looks like 😜 I was standing just by turn 3 and the racing was insane and some of the cut backs were unbelievable especially at the speed they were going. Shame the rain came to spoil the last 3 heats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 1 hour ago, chun said: Agreed. Kurtz is a bit of a one trick pony so needed to take advantage of two home GPs. I doubt he will have that advantage tomorrow on a wet track. Yet, Kurtz won how many GP's consecutively at the end of 2025. 3 or 4? He'd ave been World Champion last year if you ignore the points from the sprints. 38 minutes ago, IainB said: Enjoyed it but boy did it miss Dan Bewley, Robert Lambert just doesn't seemed to have clicked with the British fans like Dan. Well we've barely seen him in Britain for what 4-5 seasons? Fricke deserved to win, unbeaten after his first ride. Zmarzlik picking gate 4 for the final was bizarre. I've never really been a fan of MJJ but enjoyed watching him tonight. I thought the track was great for 16 heats, the last 4 regular heats it seemed as if no rider really knew where to put the bike. After the rain it was on the edge of the dirt or noting. Without Lindgren, Bewley or the French Grasstrackers no one was likely to risk venturing into the really deep damp stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 (edited) The more I listen too Kelvin ,the more I despair. They should rewind the the recording and listen too themselves.Semi final picks-would they have pick the inside gates if it was raining(they didn’t think so) Final pick Bartosz picks outside (it suddenly becomes the wrong call) Admittedy Bartosz didn’t make a start (he hasn’t all night )and got it wrong on 1st bend and fell. ps the riders know what they want too do it’s just sometimes it doesn’t go too plan. Woryna a hero to zero with him every race.sound off from now on. Edited June 5 by Fromafar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds On Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 When Woryna and Madsden crashed, sounded like one of the engines was still running long after they both had parted company with their bikes, can anyone confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
