British champion Danny King tells Sky Sports all about appearing at the biggest event in Speedway - The British GP. Wholesale Nike Vapormax . King qualified for the showpiece event in the Grand Prix Series by winning the British Title at Belle Vue the previous month but the Coventry and Ipswich man says he tried to focus on domestic action before his Grand Prix debut.I tried not to think about it as I had a job to do in domestic league racing so I didnt want to think too much about Cardiff and sacrifice my league racing, said King. I think I showed that by getting a maximum at Ipswich on the Thursday before but once that was over I put my concentration on Cardiff which was also good as I didnt want to put any pressure on myself at Cardiff. I wanted to go there and enjoy it and if I did that I knew Id do well and I think that showed in the end. It was a hectic turnaround for the Ipswich skipper and his team after domestic action in Suffolk on the Thursday before making the trip to Cardiff the following day.On the Thursday after the meeting at Ipswich we went straight back to the workshop in Peterborough and we washed the bikes as you cant turn up to a Grand Prix with dirty bikes! We finished at the work shop at about 2.30am and got back to my house at about 3am and we left at 6am to go to Cardiff.After a busy night of cleaning bikes and travelling across Britain in the early hours, it was back to work for King and his team with Practice on the Friday afternoon at the iconic venue.Practice went really well on the Friday and we were putting in some good times which we were happy with because we knew if we could make the start then we would win races.After Practice was finished we had the evening to relax and we went into the city centre for a team meal and just had some downtime. Then I went straight to bed as I was tired as you can imagine and tried to get a good nights sleep which I did. King was recently crowned British Champion After a relaxing evening in the Welsh capital, the day the Speedway world waits for with much anticipation was upon the Wildcard and the 29-year-old talks us through his build-up to the event.Waking up on Saturday I felt good, I dont get much sleep at home with the two kids nowadays but it was nice to have a lay in and not get woken up until I woke up! We went for a nice breakfast and by the time wed had breakfast and left for the track, my mechanics were already there and set up in the pits.I did the usual things like signing on and then me and my good friend Ritchie (Hawkins), who is also my Team Manager at Ipswich, went for a walk in the city to soak up the atmosphere and take my mind off the meeting a little bit really.I then went across to the FanZone for a signing session with the fans and that was amazing. I loved what they did there but after that it was back to the stadium for the track walk and then it was time for the meeting. King with Ritchie Hawkins (left) and Richard Maull (centre) at Cardiff It was Kings debut in the Grand Prix against the worlds best but after a tough start the Great Britain World Cup star showed he was not out of place at the top table of Speedway. The Maidstone-born rider reviews his evening heat-by-heat.I knew it would be tough from the outside in the first heat. I nearly got round Nicki Pedersen into third but with the track the way it was at that stage it was always going to be difficult to pass and you dont pass those guys easily, they are there for a reason, its the world championship so its tough.Before my second ride they put a lot of water down on the track which we didnt realise as we were trying to rush about in the pits and get the bike ready with two rides on the trot. That caught us out and it was really disappointing to start the way we did, but whether that relaxed me even more or it just gave us more time to get things ready I dont know - but it was a turning point that night and we went on to put a good show.The next heat I got second behind Jason Doyle after a tussle with Freddie Lindgren which was good and it was another second place in my fourth ride. In that ride we pulled away from Chris Holder and Peter Kildemand which was good. We had a good ride there and I felt the speed was good in that heat. Piotr Pawlicki who won that heat was fast all night but he couldnt pull away from us so we left the bike after that one.In my final heat I made a good start off gate three and we knew there was a bit of dirt there as we had been watching the heats before that and we were out in the third race of the last session. I went straight for that dirt from gate three and it was a bit like the British Final; I generated some speed down the back straight and it was enough to get round the outside of Bartosz Zmarzlik to take the lead and get the win.King had shown that he has the ability to compete on the world stage and hopes the opportunity will come again one day.I absolutely loved it and Id love to do it again and its given me a taste of what could be. I enjoyed every minute of it and if I ever get the chance to do it again Ill grab it with both hands.Watch Wolverhampton v Coventry in the Elite League live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 7.30pm on Monday, August 1.

Their backups made sure they didnt need one. Reserves D.J. Augustin and Taj Gibson combined for 48 points on 18-of-30 shooting as the Bulls beat the Detroit Pistons 105-94 for their fifth win in six games. The Bulls only led by one point going into the fourth, but Augustin and Gibson had 20 of Chicagos 34 in the fourth. "A lot of guys are stepping up on this team right now," Gibson said. "Everyone is working hard and helping in whatever way we need. The guys are just focused on the team right now." Both coaches went with seven-man rotations for most of the game, but Chicagos duo completely outmatched Rodney Stuckey and Will Bynum. They finished with 12 points on 5-of-20 shooting, including a 1-for-11 night from Bynum. "Will played his heart out, just like he always does," Pistons coach John Loyer said. "He gives us everything hes got every night, but there are going to be some games where the ball just rolls off the rim. Theyve got two very good players coming off the bench -- Gibson has done that all year for them and Augustin has been like that since he got to Chicago." Joakim Noah finished with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for his sixth career triple-double, including two in the last three games and three in the last month, while Jimmy Butler had 18 points and 12 rebounds. "Jos our leader, and a triple-double is nothing to him," Butler said. "We are starting to expect that from him. He does so many things well that it makes it easier for the rest of us." Greg Monroe led Detroit with 27 points, but the Pistons struggled all night to get anything going from the outside. They took 34 shots from outside the paint, and only hit nine (26.5 per cent), including 2-of-11 on 3-pointers. In contrast, the Bulls hit 46.7 per cent from outside. "They hit shots, especially in the fourth quarter, and they picked up their intensity on defence," Loyer said. "We didnt match that, and when you do that against a playoff team, you areent going to win many games. Nike Vapormax Sale. " Detroit led for most of the second quarter, but appeared to get rattled by an officials decision. Smith was driving for a layup that would have made it 43-34, but the shot was blocked by Mike Dunleavy. Smith didnt get back on defence, staying near the basket to argue the call, and Jimmy Butler got an easy alley-oop dunk at the other end. Smith was then called for a technical, and Augustin hit the free throw to make it a four-point game. Chicago scored the next four points to tie the game, and a technical called on Loyer with 3.7 seconds left in the half helped the Bulls take a 52-47 lead at the intermission. The Pistons narrowed the gap to 71-70 in the third quarter, but Augustin and Gibson kept scoring off the bench to help Chicago stay in front. Augustins three-point play early in the fourth keyed an 11-2 run to start the period, putting the Bulls up by 10. "We talk about how we want to finish games, and we were real strong coming out for the fourth," Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau said. "Our defence was strong, and our ball movement was good. Hitting the open guy makes a big difference." Augustin wasnt finished, either. His 3-pointer gave the Bulls a 15-point lead with six minutes to go, and the Pistons never threatened down the stretch. "They just outplayed us in the fourth quarter," Andre Drummond said. "They are a very disciplined team that prides itself on defence. We hung with them for three quarters, but they ran their offence in the fourth quarter and outexecuted us." NOTES: Loyers technical at the end of the first was called in a highly unusual manner. Loyer was discussing a call with official Olandis Poole, who showed no indication of calling anything, but John Goble rang him up from 30 feet away. ... Gibson and Brandon Jennings picked up technicals arguing calls in the second half. Gibson left the game with 3:39 to play after rolling his right ankle, but returned moments later. ... IndyCar champion Scott Dixon was honoured during the first half as part of a promotion for the Detroit Grand Prix. ' ' '
