I note that your tongue is in your cheek with your emoticon. Here are the greatest Swedes of all, who always finished on top. Unfortunately I never finished on top of Agnetha.

Will Vaculik be fit?

Should be, he had an op on Friday and will be out for around 10 days-probably he`s looking to be back for Tarnow next Sunday.

Holta as a WC is a treat for all Norwegians. I love it, and am totally biased. No argument can keep me from looking forward to this. Go Rune!

Though think it is being claimed Holta is wildcard as home Polish rider

Polish on paper, but Norwegian in flesh & blood.

Being a fan from the 60's/70's I can remember some great Norwegians...Sverre Harrfeldt being the greatest (obviously biased). Riders such as Dag Lovaas, Reidar Eide and Odd Fossengen come to mind. I can recall Denmark being Norway's poor relations in the speedway world...sad to see their demise.

These days Norway have Rune Holta - sort of. And Gunnestad jnr who I only know because of his dad.

 

Mind you, it tends to go in cycles. The Aussies rules the sport, disappeared for many years (despite having quite a few ok riders) before resurfacing again. The Americans - very similar but they have disappeared again. Nz have gone too.

[customhouseregular 1,651]

One would have thought with the legends that were Moore, Briggs and Mauger and a host of other one rung down...Shirra, Ross and Stapleton come to mind, NZ would have gone from strength to strength.same goes for USA with Penhall, Sigalos, Schwartz, Ermolenko etc..

[Wiseguy 214]

My verdict? The SEC ladies are much fitter than the Monster girls.

Looking forward to this tonight, Fancy an EW bet @10/1 on Janusz Kołodziej

[customhouseregular 1,651]

Hard to see any one other than Sayfutdinov the form he is in at the moment.

Looking forward to this after Wednesday when we didnt get a complete meeting, not Eurosports fault but still disappointing.
