looks good for the Brits in this one i'd say.

 

If it's 8 through and a reserve i'd say Holder, Boxall (if he's fit), Tressarieu, Miedzinski, Batchelor, Bridger, Zabik and Wright in no particular order with Legault as the winner. Wright could struggle as I don't think he goes well at Sheffield and he looked well off the pace at Lynn last week.

 

I don't know anything about Marat Gatiyatov, Rene Van Weele, Martin Vaculik or Ruslan Gatiyatov apart from that they've been in World U-21 qualifiers before

 

Andrew Alridge (2006 New Zealand U-21 Champion), Skyler Greyson (2005 US U-21 Champion) and Hynek Stichauer (Top performer in Czech League) seem to have some pedigree but I'd fancy the riders listed at the top.

 

I will most likely be totally wrong though and the unknowns will storm it!

 

EDIT: Anyone know what happened to Andreas Messing and Leon Madsen this year?

I reckon, that Kyle is in with a good chance for this meeting, but watching Bridger last night on Sky I think the Sheffield track will suit his style of riding.

practice after Sheffield's Pirtek Cup clash

Hardly of much use on a track that wont resemble a freshly prepared one.

 

Smacks more of PR than anything.

Why do you always have to pull Sheffield down, this is a genuine plan to try and help the boys, surely they realise that the track will be a bit different, but for somebody like Bridger who has never seen the track before surely this will help.

Can anyone from Sheffield thanks be able to find out for us if this meeting will be filmed thanks for purchase on dvd or tape any help would be appreciated by us Aussie forum members thanks no worries.

Not sure but will try and find out, my gut feeling is that there will not be any filming.

who's going to be the nominated rider this year?

[scunny delight 0]

Can someone tell me how the reserve riders are chosen for this meeting. I see in the speedway star that Jason King and Ben Barker are the reserves. JK I can understand he did finish 6th and had a really good night marred by bike problems at the tapes before his first race, but BB finished 11th!!
