Occupations have been completed after 12 races. Running over so many races, only half of the 23 tournaments in each of the GP, it took almost three hours. Last pause before finally discontinued competitions lasted approx. 40 minutes. At that time, there was a meeting with the players. Only then discussed the security issue. Track the number of repetitions of the gear was disintegrating. They made a hole, especially on the first curve, speedway riders have noted there are a few falls.
At the end of the track, all participants GP went to say goodbye to the fans. At the head of Tomasz Gollob was. Fans booed initially, but then applauded for speedway rider. All players nailed five of Gollob, and then went down the engines and townspeople Pole up.
The affair, however, did not have any relationship with the players. For the condition of the track and all the facilities such. Home machine corresponds to the Grand Prix team under the leadership of Ole Olsen. Danes prepare surfaces for years on the so-called. artificial tracks. Surface are also responsible for the “normal” speedway stadiums. Always take them a week before the tournament. The track is then closed only for work related to the preparation of the Grand Prix.
It was the same in Warsaw at the National Stadium, which hosted the first GP race.
It failed machine Danes page
The Danes brought with them up to 350 tons of nepheline, special ground rocks, from which the rear track. Is a team of Ole Olsen and his son put together and cut a syenite at the National Stadium.
They brought with them also home machine that failed on Saturday evening the most. On two metal posts and special springs attached tape guides is starting (actually three connected ribbons). The mechanism runs the judge. The machine worked badly almost from the very beginning of the competition. The tape was coming up unevenly, so players who are closer to the curb did not have equal opportunities.
For the first time the event took place in the second race. Then it was getting worse. Start the machine still wailed, and nothing it can not be repaired.
From the fourth race was abandoned tape. Players were moving, when the fading green light which comes always before them and mean is ready to start.
Problems with the road
The problems with the machine home were not the most important reason for the cancellation of the tournament. Frequent repetition meant that the first arc surface is disintegrated and made a dangerous hole. It’s always a sensitive place speedway track.
It is unofficially known that even on a Saturday morning workout Olsen’s team improved them. The material in this place was very loose and slushy. After the morning test, the belt surface with a width of about three meters was cut out and there were poured into a mixture of cement with sand to harden the surface.
It was on the first arc occurred to the greatest number of accidents. After 12 race riders met in their midst, then the jury professions and started a conversation, you can continue the tournament. I ended up stopping the competition.
The second such mishap
This is the second in the history of Grand Prix as spectacular setback organizers. In 2008, on the occasion of the competition at the Arena auf Schalke in Gelsenkirchen failed to even start the tournament. The track was not properly prepared for. Then, as it was the final cycle, the event took place a week later in Bydgoszcz.
After the Warsaw replays will not. Speedway riders not spoken out after the show – explained that the culmination of such a decision. Some of them, like Nicki Pedersen commented on Twitter.
The next tournament will be held GP May 16 in Tampere – there will also be an artificial track laid by the Danish team, like in Cardiff, Horsens (Denmark), Stockholm and Melbourne.
