racers and royals 8,730 Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) So if Denmark or Latvia win on the 18th they will both get to the final or if Sweden or Norway do then Denmark only will- which seems ridiculous as Denmark are in the final even if they finish last.( for finishing 2nd to Poland last year).

GB failed to make the final so below Denmark, Sweden, and Latvia i believe (and Germany) More nonsense. I don't see that last year is relevant, when the teams have changed. It should be down to this years performance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Particularly in Junior meetings etc with an age limit. Quite possible that a team finished well because of one or two riders who are no longer available . And they then get intothe final over a team that beat them in the qualis... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bavarian 767 Posted June 10, 2022 I read somewhere that Germany will be in the semi-final in Norway, replacing Denmark, who are already qualified for the final. It would make sense if it is Norway v Sweden v Latvia v Germany in the second semi-final at Elgane, and only the winning team qualifies for the final. Poland and Denmark are seeded, and Great Britian qualified as the winners of SF1. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now we just need confirmation, although with the meeting next Saturday sooner rather than later would be nice !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,990 Posted June 13, 2022 Is Espen related to Rune at all ? Looking at the ages he could well be his son. But then again it might just be a coincidence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
