Pollyanna 1 Posted August 31, 2007 This event is so watered down it's unbelievable. No one really seems to care who wins, least of all the riders! However the junior title is always a great event with young guns really wanting to win. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why are Billy Forsberg and Simon Gustafsson riding in both meetings?

Liverstam 0 Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) Why are Billy Forsberg and Simon Gustafsson riding in both meetings? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because they have qualified. Edited August 31, 2007 by Liverstam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anders 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Why are Billy Forsberg and Simon Gustafsson riding in both meetings? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The final on Friday night is the Swedish Junior Championship Final. The final on Saturday afternoon is the Swedish Championship Final (regardless of age). They have, alongside Thomas H Jonasson, qualified for both finals. Nothing strange, just as Kennett, Bridger, King etc. rode in the British Final at Monmore Green despite being juniors (as well as they rode in the Junior Final in Eastbourne).

arnieg 3,685 Posted August 31, 2007 I was really impressed by Thomas H. Jonasson last night who among others beat Scotty Nicholls. Not sure how he usually fares around Sannahed though but I'm sure he can give Forsberg a run for his money. Never realised how tiny he is close up before either! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought the senior meeting was better than the under 21 last year. Apart from Jonasson (who I'd not heard of, but was very impressed by) it seemed fairly predictable. Hope Jonasson does well again this year. If Forsberg rides even half as well as he did at Belle Vue on Wednesday then he will be hard to beat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 21,079 Posted August 31, 2007 Will be interesting to see how the youngsters get on.Will the EL boys dominate or will one of the others like Jonasson or maybe even Gustafsson win.Will be following Forsberg,Gustafsson and Dennis Andersson's scores closely.And what about the almost forgotten young star,Andreas Messing?Will he be on the rostrum.Has his progress slowed to an almost standstill? And when is the 80cc final.I see it is on the link,but no-one has mentioned it.Some of are interested in the 80cc guys as well Hopefully,if the weather is ok,i will be at the Danish 80cc final on sunday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

f-s-p 832 Posted August 31, 2007 Like the first score's show, Simon G is doing well and is one of the favourites in my opinion. Not that he'd be good in other tracks too, but this is the place where he's the next from GOD. Thats his dad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liverstam 0 Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) Billy Forsberg apparently took a spill in heat 7 and was excluded, he is now being replaced by Jonas Messing in heat 10. Hope it's not too bad Billy Edit: Seems Billy has withdrawn from the meeting altogether. Shame! Edited August 31, 2007 by Liverstam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted August 31, 2007 Robert Petterson... He was completely lost at Seinäjoki earlier this season. All the best for him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope he keeps it up! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've heard the story of where he's come to this point. Like I said, all the best for him. EDIT: I'd be surprised if he beats Simon in a run-off EDIT2: Oops, this is a UK style semi/final style thingie... EDIT3: Raining and delayed/postponed?
