f-s-p 832 Posted January 10, 2019 Nyrönen travels to Övik to replace Divis so Kirilov is 1st and Jani Koivula 2nd reserve at Kauhajoki. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is actualy replacing Philip Lageder. Andrej Divis is already replaced by Robert Růžička. Lots of changes in the lineups this year. The Czechs replaced 4 riders already. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted January 10, 2019 Part of the game indeed. Makes the wildcard nominations quite interesting though. Regular boys Simon and Klabo missing out due to injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schwantz34 17 Posted January 11, 2019 I know it's part and parcel but to me it's going to lead to a weak line up 4 the ISG??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted January 11, 2019 Any predictions? Both look realy tough. Sweden: M.Haarahiltunen, N.Svensson, F.Zorn, H.Weber, N.Toloknov, D.Valeev, A.Shishegov... maybe G.Bauer? Finland: O.Ledstrom, S.Svensson, D.Ivanov, D.Khomitsevich look certain... then S.Pletschacher, M.Niedermaier, T.Busch, J.Iwema, C.Ebner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Tani has to get some results and I can't see why he couldn't be in the top6. Isoaho did well last year in the Kauhajoki meeting, all others are first timers without practise on a frozen SPEEDWAY track. Looking forward to a few harmless wobbles in the first set of heats.

'No Mates' Bauer may well get the permanent wild card if he doesnt qualify, however I'd like to see Busch Iwema and Ebner go through. My head says the more experienced riders will go through. Surpised to see how few 'regulars' are in the qualifiers, and it does seem odd not to have a Klatovsky riding. I know Jesper will be doing live updates from Finland, but are there any updates from Sweden? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted January 11, 2019 Theres a stream from övik I’m told. No idea where. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schwantz34 17 Posted January 11, 2019 Conkers, I see you refer to Bauer as " no mates" and I heard the commentator for FIM TV say in coverage last year that him and Weber have a frosty relationship. What's the issue with him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted January 11, 2019 Bauer senior is out according to someone on the German forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
