GB really are not at the right level, Dan Thompson is clearly not 100%, Leon Flint seems competitive but we will just have to see how things pan out. It is a shame that the crowd is so poor. Why can this sort of meeting not be held in the UK. I am sure the influx of foreign riders would generate more interest than is seemingly the case in for example, this venue.

Typical throttle jockey Danes...😁 

Obviously used to those massive tracks in Denmark which are so similar to Poland..!😁

Apart from Flint, the others are not competitive at all..

This is dreadful from GB so far. Even when we gate we don't seem to know where to ride. We shouldn't be having much trouble against Sweden outside of Henriksson.

Doesn't help with the level of TM they have compared to the others

Yep it is painful but at least they get to practice on a foreign track. Blame the UK domestic race scene for the lack of skill sets. Those in charge hardly encourage the next generation of riders, those who watch the sport rarely stick around and do nothing to encourage riders honing their skills and overall this must have an impact on the youngsters who clearly do have the skills but the system deprives them of track time and proper compete racing. The days of encouraging riders with meaningful second half meets and guaranteed rides have long gone because those who run clubs are looking through the wrong end of a telescope. Think about it.

Massive gulf between Poland & Denmark and the other two, far more experience and laps on Polish tracks in the two strongest teams to be fair. Perhaps a Polish track isn't the best idea for a venue, it clearly wasn't to generate a crowd.

Difficult to criticise the younger Brits but feel that Thompson and Flint should be getting amongst it a bit more. Denmark going to be a hell of a side in 5 years time.
