iris123 20,988 Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Mäkinen and Siltaniemi (+Katajisto) ride for them. They'll kick your äss if you dont give them respect! Well i should see Jari in Stralsund.Unless he has learnt karate or the Finnish Army have trained him as a killing machine,i fancy my chances I might make the trip to Malmö,so they have a better chance there.3 against 1 Edited April 5, 2011 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gypilgrim 0 Posted April 14, 2011 Timo Lahti to Eastbourne Eagles, rides next monday against the Wolves, taken from lracing.tk. Please remind me, f-s-p, is Timo the guy that was linked with Scunthorpe at the end of last season? Also, any further information about Tero Aarnio's condition ? There is a vacancy at Scunthorpe, are your contacts suggesting any Finns could be in the frame for the job ? Thanks, in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was Teemu, his older brother that was coming to Scunny. Ask him again, he might do good this time providing he stays fit through the training camp in Hallstavik during the weekend. I think BSPA declared Aarnio fit to ride this week on their website. Edited April 14, 2011 by f-s-p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

samthepalaceman2 0 Posted April 15, 2011 Timo Lahti to Eastbourne Eagles, rides next monday against the Wolves, taken from lracing.tk. Would you be able to give a little info on the rider from first hand experience? His results seem impressive from last year for an 18 year old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted April 15, 2011 Would you be able to give a little info on the rider from first hand experience? His results seem impressive from last year for an 18 year old. I just wrote a reply on the Eastbourne thread to stir. Had already decided to just sit back and laugh on the wondering about who this guy is. He's been around for a few years now and every meeting he's done is been documented on this forum. Finnish meetings on the Finnish thread and Swedish meetings on the Swedish thread. I think he's the best we (Finland) have to offer for years! Mikael Teurnberg has a view on things with his experience around the world of speedway and 18 months ago he rated Timo in the top5 in Europe in the riders born that year (whatever it is ). Very level headed and on top of that he's an athlete, not your regular speedway rider. I heard Deano is gonna be his spanner and we laughed pretty big on the scenario that this toothpick of a rider is gonna be spannered by... Deano. As a rider he knows what he's doing, adapts well to circumstances and does what he wants with HIS bike. Now that he's riding for Eastbourne he's been given A bike thats not his and maybe not even good enough by his standards so who knows what he's gonna do. If the management dont give him enough meetings to get him an average and make him an asset, they are... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samthepalaceman2 0 Posted April 15, 2011 Thanks. I'm pretty sure that even the Eastbourne management aren't that stupid in not giving him enough meetings to become an asset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted April 23, 2011 Timo Lahti to Eastbourne Eagles, rides next monday against the Wolves, taken from lracing.tk. It was bit of an embarrasement sitting on a livingroom sofa in Edinburgh and watch Taylor Poole on TV when I've told everyone it was gonna be Timo Lahti. It was not my mistake though and he's now in. I really do hope that he'll still ride the big Finnish meetings, it would be a real lost to us (Finnish speedway) if he didn't. Jouni Seppänen was elected to the management board of the Finnish federation a week ago. Track racing has it's own rep in the board again after a few years of absence. The Finnish 80cc riders are riding in Eskilstuna this (easter) weekend and a few riders are at Varkaus practising speedway. A week a go the now traditional season opener in Hallstavik was organised and things went well again. Teemu Lahti had a really good weekend and was the best man on show. Niko Siltaniemi totally wrecked one of his bikes but is OK. Also Miikka Hyyryläinen and Vili Mattila had dates with the fence but no serious damage there either. Jari Mäkinen had a mechanical nightmare in sundays meetings and Timo Lahti was absent with his Eastbourne practise session in Arlington.

f-s-p 832 Posted May 11, 2011 SM-liiga kicks off next saturday at Pori 3PM local. Lineups as follows: Speedwayn SM-liiga 1/8 14.5.2011, kokoonpanot: Paholaiset: 1) Joni Keskinen, 2) Marko Suojanen, 3) Jiri Nieminen, 4) Jere Lehtonen.

SGP will now be shown on Finnish TV as Nelonen Pro has made a deal to show it. Yrjö Laukkanen (Kaj's dad) will be the pro-commentator with someone I've not heard doing the bigger part of speaking. At least speedway is on after Canal+ dropped Elitserien in Finland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icicle 896 Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) Good luck in getting Updates together! Hope in near future Marko Hyyrylainen manages to get on International stage, as would like to hear the great difficulty Pearson & Tatum would have with his name! The World needs more "unpronouncable" Finnish names! Edited May 11, 2011 by icicle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope in near future Marko Hyyrylainen manages to get on International stage, as would like to hear the great difficulty Pearson & Tatum would have with his name! The World needs more "unpronouncable" Finnish names! How would you facy Jyri Viemerö or Markku Larronmaa? Dont think Marko H is gonna take the big step anymore, but Miikka Hyyryläinen just might. He's 17 and started on the big bikes last year with -11 being his first competiteve season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
