Nordic Darts on ITV for me. I you had paid yesterday for a month, £30.99, and cancelled it before the end of those 30 days, you would see GP3 and GP4 at BVue, and GP5 at Wroclaw. That works out at £10.33 per meeting......and you prefer to watch Nordic Darts !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it really difficult to get into the meeting to be honest and I've seen much better meetings at Belle Vue than that. Hopefully tonight will be better. Yes the atmosphere did feel a bit flat where I was, although some sections looked to be having fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen it done before (but maybe wrong). Having said that, I think he doing better than I expected, last night he was in the mix in a few of his races,came BV is a tough track at GP level. Even Woryna couldn't make it work last night, and he very experienced racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight was sold out, apart from 5 seats that suddenly become available in the premium seats today. Also the premium seats by the tapes when you see empty seats there, the people could be inside in the Peter Craven suite drinking etc, everyone has a seat allocated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen a rider before who can fly into an apex of a bend and then, instead of going towards the fence, hook the arse end round, and maintain speed and momentum... An incredible talent... I not a BZ fan...but what he was doing last night was beyond normal. I am so glad he not a consistantly good gater 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds On Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 love having the locals giving us live weather updates...i for one really appreciate it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Just watched the Woryna crash and to be fair to him, Madsen did lock up slightly in front and drop speed... Obviously I much prefer to watch riders who can just gate, and win races on smooth, slick tracks, and are quite happy to ride around at the back, with zero intention to pass anyone, when they don't make the start in front... They are the real "box office riders".... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, but still circa seven figures in takings isn't too shabby for a sport with such a small following.... In other news... There cannot be many better places to watch Speedway racing than the entrance to bend three at the NSS.... The speed they hit it, and your close proximity to the racing, means you can truly appreciate the talents and reactions of these lads... So many races are won and lost at that turn, either by a dive bomb or the outside rider cutting off the rider flying up the inside... Brilliant to see... They should put a lower down camera there..

Obviously who was at fault but I think much of the crowd were expecting the ref to take the easy option and call all 4 back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so glad he not a consistantly good gater Last night he scored 13 points - 7 of them from the back. Some riders don't make that many passes in a season.

I did suggest last year that they could have an extra incentive on Friday’s meeting by the finishing positions determining the draw pick for Saturday. In their wisdom they choose the ballot route. 3 hours ago, racers and royals said: That draw is a Baansport and myself exclusive LOL.

I would like to see Gate picks awarded by finishing position in previous GP.Stop practice and keep the track tip top for the GP.However that might be too simple for FIM/SGP Organisers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing bike skills he can make passes that others can only dream of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
