World U21 Final Round Terenzano Saturday September 14th

Recommended Posts

Shouldn`t think it`s a hanging offence if named-so can someone name them ?-Kyle Howarth will be one.

Rob Branford is clearly one of the reserves. Unless Nick Morris is still sort of British.

It was the rider himself who said that he was in the meeting on Saturday so he must have got the info from FIM or DMU as Leicester have been granted a guest facility to replace him at Rye House. Sounds like plans may have changed unless another rider is missing through injury ?

Replacing the injured Porsing perhaps?

Replacing the injured Porsing perhaps?

 

That's probably the answer. I think the first poster's error was to name Bjerre as a wildcard (he clearly isn't).

 

If a rider -- Porsing -- is unable to start, he is replaced by the next one down the pecking order from the non-qualifiers.

 

With the meeting just over two weeks away, we'll no doubt learn the full line-up soon enough.

Absolutely not - Porsing will be back on the bike tomorrow

FIM release this morning has Lasse Bjerre in place of Tobiasz Musielak. Does anyone know why?

He was interviewed on the Polish speedway coverage on Sunday with a cast on his wrist/hand.

Edit he`s had an operation on his injured hand-won`t ride again until September.

Congratulations to Adam on his nomination - deserved recognition for a great start to his career.

 

This sort of meeting will test his progress but more importantly will be a great learning experience.

Riding order (I presume) on Berwick website:

 

1 Artur Czaja (Poland), 2. Piotr Pawlicki (Poland), 3. Kacper Gomolski (Poland), 4. Vaclav Milik (Czech Republic), 5. Nichlas Porsing (Denmark), 6. Lasse Bjerre (Denmark), 7. Patryk Dudek (Poland), 8. Adam Strzelec (Poland), 9. Mikkel Michelsen (Denmark), 10. Adam Ellis (Great Britain), 11. Vladimir Borodulin (Russia), 12. Mikkel Bech (Denmark), 13. Bartosz Zmarzlik (Poland), 14. Kyle Howarth (Great Britain), 15. Nikolaj Jakobsen (Denmark), 16. Andzejs Lebedevs (Latvia), reserves: 17. Robert Branford (Great Britain) and 18. Ashley Morris (Great Britain).

 

The presence of two young riders (Dudek and Bech) who have already been in World Cup-winning teams highlights the quality of the field. For the British contestants, the night will be a rewarding experience, giving riders such as Kyle Howarth and Adam Ellis invaluable experience for their continuing march up the ladder of international speedway success.

 

“We have nominated Kyle and Adam to race at Berwick because they have already shown us how willing they are to move up to the highest levels of competition” explained GB’s U-21 coach Neil Vatcher

Berwick website also carries the following offers:-

 

SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE John Anderson, promoter of speedway at Berwick, has revealed that, although the event is being staged by the FIM and BSPA, his club are allowed to offer sponsorship opportunities for August 10th.

 

“No big expenses are involved” he explained. “We will allow groups of fans, or local businesses, to sponsor each of the twenty races for only £50 – first twenty applications we receive get the nod!”

 

“We can also put the name of any business concern who approaches us with a sensible offer – and again, we’re not talking big bucks – on the event itself, with logos and the like plastered all over the riders’ race-jackets. Simply, make us an offer!”.

 

To sponsor a race, or indeed the entire World Final, applications must be tendered as quickly as possible to club@berwickbandits.co or by phoning directors John Anderson (07503-540236) or George Hepburn (07831-181089). However, as Mr Anderson is anxious to advise, time has to be of the essence.

 

“When we have twenty heat sponsors, and a decent offer to back the meeting, that’s it – so don’t hang about, please. First come, first served!”

Two weeks to go for this one.

 

Really looking forward to another big event in the north. If all the tracks get airfences for next year, will we see FIM moving the big dates around to different circuits?

Adam Ellis was a good guest for Berwick last night, and will have a lot of support in the Final -- both as a Brit against the big guns, and because he proved popular with the border fans.

I am asked by the club to post the following, which is also going on FB and newsletter, etc:

 

Berwick promoter John Anderson has revealed that, although the event is being staged by the FIM and BSPA, the club are allowed to offer some limited sponsorship opportunities for the World U-21 Final on August 10th.

 

All heat sponsorships were snapped up within 24 hours of being announced, but a remaining huge opportunity is sponsorship of the meeting race-jackets. “No big expenses are involved” he explained. “We will place the name of the first person, or company, or group to call us with a bid -- of just £500 -- on every rider's race-jacket, front and back, plus there will be a special jacket produced, signed by every competitor, which can be mounted and displayed on an office or living-room wall, and we'll throw in free hospitality for two people at the meeting -- all for just £500".

 

"The only problem is that, by only getting the go-ahead to offer sponsorship at this late stage, we have a strict deadline for getting the race-jackets designed and produced, not to mention catching the printer's deadline for any programme coverage of the backing -- this offer has to reach us by tomorrow (Tuesday 30th) evening to gain full exposure for the sponsor!"

 

"So, for race-jacket sponsorship, we invite a call -- to Lani Rae on 07779-227535 or George Hepburn on 07831-181089 or by e-mail to dick@berwickbandits.co and we promise that the first caller gets the done deal!

 

"As the heat sponsorships were scooped up so quickly, we know the interest is out there. Don't be shy, and don't delay, you -- or your organisation -- can become a vital part of the biggest-ever night in the long, proud history of speedway in Berwick !"

 

In addition, the club has a very limited number of places in their hospitality lounge for the big night, available for only £45 per head. To apply, contact lanir@me.com or phoning 07779-227535.

 

However, as Mr Anderson is anxious to advise, time has to be of the essence.

 

“When we announced the heat sponsorships, they were just scooped up so quickly. I'm sure it will be the same for the race-jackets. As for the hospitality packages -- don't hang about please. First come, first served!”
