whowasthatberntpersson 108 Posted January 6, 2016 Interesting thoughts regarding the current state of Australian speedway. What if we added these to the top boys in the current lineup; Chris Holder Troy Batchelor Jason Doyle Rory Schlein Dave Watt Dakota North Not to mention a few others who are sitting this series out, Todd Kurtz, Ryan Douglas, Tyson Nelson, Alex Davies, Cameron Heeps, etc. Things not looking quite so bleak....and there are some good kids coming through as well.

Reviresco 708 Posted January 7, 2016 Josh Grajczonek has withdrawn from the 2016 Aussie Solo Championships following crashes in both of the first two rounds. Grajczonek has suffered a shoulder injury, two knocks to the head and also badly damaged two bikes. He will be replaced by Reserve, Joshua MacDonald. Despite injuring his AC joint and suffering some muscle damage, Justin Sedgmen has declared his intention to take part in Round 3 at Gillman tomorrow, after undergoing physio and with x-rays confirming no broken bones. (A link has been posted on Justin's Facebook page for anyone who wants to follow the final Round in his home State of Victoria at Mildura from 8.00 AM GMT on Sunday) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted January 8, 2016 Shaping up to be a tight finish. Those unneccessary exclusions in each of rounds 2&3 could cost Rohan..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reviresco 708 Posted January 8, 2016 Shaping up to be a tight finish. Those unneccessary exclusions in each of rounds 2&3 could cost Rohan..... Yes, fueltaps, sitting 3pts behind Brady Kurtz going into the Final Round on 40pts along with Sam Masters. The tapes exclusion and fall could prove costly. (I see Rohan's signed up to ride for Lodz again in Poland this season having got out of his Gniezno contract). Not sure how well Tungate goes at Olympic Park, but didn't have a great one last year. For those interested, Cumulative Points after Round 3: 43 = Kurtz 40 = Tungate & Masters 37 = Fricke & Morris 31 = Holder 30 = Campton 28 = Sedgmen 19 = Proctor 18 = Waters 17 = Stewart 11 = Pickering 10 = A MacDonald 07 = Grajczonek & Riordan 06 = Sproule 04 = J MacDonald 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) I might be wrong but I think mildura is quite a tight track. Might not suit Kurtz or tungate as well as it might masters. All to play for though and will be good to see some speedway even if it is early on a Sunday morning. Edited January 8, 2016 by Mr Blobby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arnieg 3,643 Posted January 8, 2016 Yes but Britain has 27 tracks staging at least ten meetings per season. Australia probably has a handful of tracks (probably no more than four or five) that stage more than half a dozen meetings a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,986 Posted January 8, 2016 Kurtz at least took advantage of the Danish speedway season to get some early experience.Saw him at a young age on 80cc as I also remember seeing Masters.But I also saw Brady when he came over for a season in Denmark and seems to have paid dividends.
