HenryW 1,178 Posted May 6, 2008 Anyone have any info please? Do you mean riders or Nations? If you mean Nations, It's GB, Sweden and Denmark plus the winners of the round containing Italy, Finland, Slovenia and the Czech Republic being held in Ljubljana on 29th June. Coventry definitely looks the tougher of the two rounds, with the other Semi having Poland, Australia, Russia and the winner of Germany, USA, Hungary and Latvia. If you mean riders, that probably hasn't been decided yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skid row 0 Posted May 6, 2008 Thanks Henry, any information really, I thought maybe it was too early for individual riders. I'm hoping to get down to see this meeting, especially now I know Denmark and Sweden will be competing, and if Finland get through maybe Nemo will be riding too, me being a Comets fan who will I cheer on then?

HenryW 1,178 Posted May 7, 2008 With all due respect to their opponents, you have to think that the Czech Republic would need to make a massive mess of things to fail to reach Coventry, and save you the worry of whether to support your team's boy or your nation's boys.

T.N.T. 355 Posted May 9, 2008 So we dont know which riders will be riding .... but we can take a good guess with it being at Coventry GB Scott Nicholls, Chris Harris, Lee Richardson, Simon Stead and Oliver Allen (think being at Brandon will force David Howe out sadly) Sweden Andreas Jonsson, Fredrik Lindgren, Jonas Davidsson, Peter Karlsson and Mikael Max ? Denmark Nicki Pedersen, Hans Andersen, Neils K Iversen, Bjarne Pedersen and Charlie Gjedde. Czech Republic Tomas Topinka, Adrian Rymel, Ales Dryml, Lukas Dryml and Michal Makovsky.

Is that a good guess?Leaving out Tomicek or Bjerre?Not sure about the sweden team either with Max Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted May 9, 2008 Is that a good guess? Leaving out Tomicek or Bjerre?Not sure about the sweden team either with Max I wouldn't have thought it's a good guess. Sweden are surely more likely to go with Forsberg, Kling, Zetterstrom or Nermark ahead of Max, While I suspect that the Czechs will be looking at Tomicek and Sitera, over Topinka and Makovsky, although I do think Adrian Rymel stands a chance of being selected. As for the Danes, well, you've got Bjerre and Mads Korneliussen to consider, along with Gjedde. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liverstam 0 Posted May 12, 2008 Right now Mikael Max must be the least probable of all swedes to get picked for the SWC, and I'm not even talking swedish speedway riders but all swedes. Also I'm far from certain the Czech will qualify, I think both Finland and Slovenia are in with a fair chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted May 13, 2008 IMO i wouldnt pick neither PK or Max. my team would currently be: Andreas Fredrik Jonas Daniel Nermark and i think Billy Forsberg or any of the other young guns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niclas 5 Posted June 7, 2008 IMO i wouldnt pick neither PK or Max. my team would currently be: Andreas Fredrik Jonas Daniel Nermark and i think Billy Forsberg or any of the other young guns.
