sEdgY2 0 Posted June 27, 2007 The first meeting at vojens is going to be very tighty especially with Australia maybe being the dark horse Denmark should win but the aussies will give them one hell of a showing the poles i dont think will be able 2 consistently keep up with the danes and the aussies! The aussie team 1. Leigh Adams Captain 2. Ryan Sullivan (who is in good form of late) 3. Rory Schlien 4. Jason Crump 5. is a toss up between Adams Shields, Davey Watt, Chris Holder and Travis McGowan. IMO its really a shame that they went with taking out Holta when Poland has such many other good riders like Jagus, Zabik, Kolodziej, Ulamek although the latter has been showing up a poor form. If I were the Swedish coach i would nominate this team: 1. A Jonsson 2. F. Lindgren 3. J. Davidsson 4. A.Lindbäck 5. T. H. Jonasson it wouldn't be a team for winning but a team for the future. I think that PK is a good rider but i think its time for him to step down and gice room for someone younger. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,987 Posted June 27, 2007 Yes i agree.In fact i think this years top 3 teams will be at Vojens.That's how tough a meeting it is.Like i said,just wish that Russia would have been in this one as well as one or two of their riders could have caused a few upsets.Not sure any of the Finns will.Even Joonas is not going that well after his injury Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be tough for the Aussies but Adams, Sullivan and Schlein has been riding very well lately but its the no5 spot that is the weakness of this team.

f-s-p 832 Posted June 27, 2007 Not sure any of the Finns will.Even Joonas is not going that well after his injury <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wonder whats going on with Joonas... At the moment he's riding like Laukkanen, great today and poor the next. I discussed this with someone and a point was made that now that the new avg's are in in Elite league I could expect him to score well again. Same goes for his riding in Sweden, he's been hitting the Laukkanen figures for a month now and even though they've had tight matches he's been allowed to take his four rides anyway with 010 or similar from the first three. Go figure Finland will be slaughtered in Vojens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Jasper 192 Posted June 27, 2007 Batchelor is not ready to make the step up yet. The meeting in Vojens should be a cracker and it will be interesting to see if the Danes start slowly as sometimes thwey are prone to do. Howeverr Vojens will be very suited for them so who knows. I cant wait to go to Brandon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What on earth has he done to upset Boycey? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No-one's upset anyone, there's only so many places in the team - I should imagine the top 4 picked themselves so it came down to a Coin-toss between Adam and Davey for the reserve spot while Noddy got in at 5 on the strength of his showings in the Ozchamps, the Under-21s World Cup and the SGP qualifiers.

Leo 0 Posted July 2, 2007 Bit of bias here I think, Kennett is very poor at Coventry and has yet to have a good meeting there, whereas Howe has always ridden the track very well. Wrong decision in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
