Guest JY2003 Posted July 31, 2003 I think Sweden should have Stefan Andersson instead of David Ruud!Stefan is much more experienced! Why aint Amando Castanga in the Italy squad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JY2003 Posted July 31, 2003 Is he still going? God he must be about 80 by now!!!!!!!!!! Yeh i think he is still going!I think he is still riding in Italy! Very nice to see Roman POVAZHNY in it! Why not put Petri Kokko in the Finland team? I saw him@Eastbourne will Olli the other day andi think he could be planning a come back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter 0 Posted July 31, 2003 Why not put Petri Kokko in the Finland team? I saw him@Eastbourne will Olli the other day andi think he could be planning a come back! It's been a while since he last rode competitively and it wouldn't have been wise to put him in a major championship meeting without any recent meetings under his belt. He is a fast starter and the slick Danish tracks would have suited him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely it's all gone a bit far when a supermarket gets to enter a team in the SWC - what next Marks and Spencer's Soft Furnishings ? Rico :roll: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
