Poland announced a squad of six (including Holta) ....... and straight away Seb became injured

A little disappointed Stekkers didn't put Nicolai or Patrick in for this one.Would have given them a chance to get among the points against that opposition i feel.And i do feel going to the race off is the best bet anyway.So everyone's a winner.But who does he leave out?Can't really leave out Nicki or Hans,because of the gate.....i would leave out Bjerne personally for this one,but then if he is struggling for confidence and just starting to get going it is the wrong time.....I feel Nic or patrick would still manage 5-8 points.........just hope Emil is there

well thats an interesting one ....... I wonder if anything can be read into that

Australia to go straight through, Poland a comfortable second and Team GB some way back in third, scoring about 10 more than Zagar !

 

 

Can see Scott Nicholls and Lee Richardson being bought in for the final alongside Bomber, Eddie and Tai

Think you mean race-off or you have more faith than me

Poland need to be second, for the crowd at the race off.

Australia need to be second, to use the race off to get their bike preparation right for the final.

Team GB may find the enthusiasm of a youthful Slovenian team harder to beat than they think.

 

Maybe a strange meeting, as the top two teams not wanting to win, may throw up some odd race results.

If team Oz didnt want to qualify to the final directly I suspect that they would have had Batch and Ward in the team................... I can see the race off being poland, sweden, gb and russia with hopefully a battle between the latter 3 for the last spot in the final....... sweden would have to be favourites but i wouldnt rule out gb or russia... could be a good one
