BRIT KIDS BEATEN

Sweden Under 21s swept into the final of the World Junior Team Cup with a dominant display in the first of the qualifying rounds at Abensberg in Germany.

Grand Prix star Antonio Lindback (pictured - 15) and Erik Andersson (12) both powered to maximums as the Swedes powered to victory on 56 points. They now take their place in the final at Pardubice in the Czech Republic on Saturday October 1.

Host nation Germany were runners-up on 33 points while Great Britain finished third on 24. Rye House's Daniel King topscored for the Brits with nine points. The combined Hungary/Slovenia team, who came in to replace the Americans, mustered just three points.

Whats the age limit for the Junior WC? Couldnt Chris Mills ride? Craig Branney?

[SCB 0]

Why use Mills or Branney? They're not as good as the riders who did ride. I'm guessing the age limit is 21.

I dont know SCb, just suggesting names as its not nice to see the Brits come third by such a big margin

James Wright would of scored as many as Danny King, after that as SCB said the best of our Under 21's were there.
