Col 850 Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Congratulations to Vastervik, tremendous meeting to watch on TV. Ljung & Madsen (surprised me) were excellent entertainment. Vetlanda's chances evaporated in heat 3 with Jonassons exclusion & Madsens bike problem. Fair play to the team manager, he did everything possible with the TSs available. Except for Pedersen the GP riders on show didn't have a good nights. Edited September 4, 2018 by Col Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,858 Posted September 4, 2018 Thomsen could feel and move his arms and legs but couldn't remember anything from the meeting. Pepe suffered a quadriceps contusion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It certainly is not effecting his riding too much as 1 minute ago i watched him come from the back in heat 1 last night to beat his brother and Woffy.

racers and royals 8,717 Posted September 5, 2018 Just finished watching Smederna v Indianerna and it certainly wasn`t the best match i have ever seen- attendance confirmed as 6215 which is a superb effort from the fans. No idea what Pepe was doing falling in heat 5 he was comfortably in the lead and must have just lost concentration. As for heat 11 certainly was Thomsen`s fault - however rather than them racing themselves, i thought that Lindgren slowed quicker than Thomsen after the line and Thomsen chose the wrong line and hit his team partner.

I am absolutely not sure but I think I heard Stephen Zetterwall mention a broken chain. I haven't seen any replays but IMO it look the bike just got stuck and threw Pepe off.

He said after the meeting that he didn't have full strength in his hand and since the meeting was already won it was better to rest then ride in a heat with no meaning. -------- Smederna have received allot of criticism for the traffic chaos that occurred when people left the arena after Thomsen's crash. This caused the access road to be blocked for the ambulance that was coming from the hospital which resulted in a long delay for the ambulance to arrive. It takes about 8-10 minutes for an ambulance to the arena from the hospital. Rest of the time was to get in from the main road to the arena. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
