Junior World Cup?

[Matt Davis 156]

Swindon Speedway is now looking to purchase Jonas Davidsson outright, as the rider has this afternoon (4 March) put in for a full transfer from parent club Oxford. Promoter Alun Rossiter confirmed the news, stating: ‘Jonas has made the decision himself, as he would dearly love to ride for Swindon. Former-Robin Peter Nahlin and 1990 World Champion Per Jonsson have both spoken well of Jonas, and I feel sure he would come in and do a good job for us. Further evidence that Jonas is going places is that he has been chosen to represent Sweden in the new junior World Cup, alongside Antonio Lindback, Fredrik Lindgren and our earlier signing Sebastian Alden.’

The new Under 21 World Team Cup Final takes place on 1st October 2005 at Pardubice in the Czech Republic. There are three qualifying rounds as follows:

 

16th May at Abensberg, Germany - teams competing are England, Germany, USA and Sweden

 

28th August, Rybnik, Poland - teams competing are Russia, France, Finland and Poland

 

28th August, Holsted, Denmark - teams competing are Australia, Denmark, Ukraine and Norway

 

I assume that the winner of each group plus the highest scoring runner-up will qualify for the final.

Yes Matt, it's a brand new competition.

 

GB weren't originally entered, but thankfully the BSPA had second thoughts and we are now in it (in the qualifier at Abensberg as Lucky Star has pointed out).
