philip all weather forecasts + the radar images (which actually shows what the weather is like) showed that it was going to continue to rain all evening despite that they started as it would been a dry meeting. So i have to agree with ladyluck this time the meeting should not have been started at all.

nope neither, all that was needed was a quick look at Wikpedia followed by another quick visit to metric conversions.

actually there are three months for Gothenburg that is gets lets rain/snow and that is February, March and September. The average rainfall for Gothenburg in April-August is: 77,91, 80, 101 & 86mm = 3, 3.58, 3.15, 3.97 & 3.38 inches. The equivalent for Stockholm is 30, 30, 45, 72 & 66mm

Sweden is a bit like Britain weather wise there are no safe months. Weather is very very unpredictable. They can hardly tell what the weather is gonna be like next week. There is no way to tell from year to year what weeks are going be sunny/rainy. And i'd say that it does not matter if its in may-September not so big difference when it comes to the certainty of the weather. The only safe regarding the weather is that the west coast is much more likely to get rain then the eastern part of the country This is because most low pressures/rain weathers origins from the north Atlantic and moves in from the west via GB, North Seas, Denmark and the Skagerak.

nope because the track have been rubbish every year and will continue to be rubbish if they choose to stay at ullevi. since if its dry conditions the track will quickly be full of ruts and holes and when it rain well you can see the for yourself what its like. also there other options. two new stadiums are being in Stockholm and they are very similar to millenium stadium cardiff / parken copenhagen. both when it comes to size and retractable roof which means the track will not be exposed to rain.

i really hope this is the last time ever that a gp is held at ullevi.

the commentators said so too. not especially fair conditions.

perhaps but doesnt the rule say that you will get excl if you cross the inside line with both weels?

i assume that laguta will get an ex for that?

Well i didnt expect anything else, crowd size have decreased for every year since they returned to Ullevi. Hi Alan.

nope such cameras are illegal. but i did find a cameras placed on the roof of the stadium: http://goteborg.traf...lkungabroarna-/ http://goteborg.traf...-mot-Rantorget/ & a photo from the shot-put ring on the innerfield: http://gpbloggen.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/bild-324.jpg?w=1920&h=1080

rain is predicted from around 15.00 local time and for the rest of the evening. A quick look at the radar image shows that showers have started to move their way up along the west coast, so it doesn't look good at the moment. And Ullevi usually is first to gate = first across the finish line.

Piraterna gave signed Ryan Fischer to replace Rafal Dobrucki. This is dependent on that Ryan will get a work permit from the Swedish immigration authorities. A work permit or rather the lack of one have so far prevented Daniel Ivanov from making his debute for the Norrköping based Allsvenskan team, Avantia.

i'm not sure bit his name is Jesper S Kristiansen and he rides for Glumsö in the Danish Division. I hope this helps.

Kolodziej will be replaced by PK and Balinski is rumoured to be replaced by Martin Vaculik.

it looked from my point of view that something might have happened to the bike, i think the rear wheel locked up or something. Because when he was trying to get the bike started the rear wheel wouldn't roll and he had a hard time getting the bike off the track. About Daniel G i suppose that the silencers are playing tricks with him and his setups. But he did look slightly better in heat 11 until he and Daniel H collied a little bit. I say give him time to find suitable setups and he will be back in the game before we know it. The same goes for Emil Pulcynski, looked very uncomfortable in his his third heat while looking and performing much better in his third and final heat. I think applies to both Henderson and Henrik Karlsson, they're improved from last week and i'm sure they will improve for next weeks meeting as well. Some decent racing but i hope for a more grippy track when Örnarna comes to visit. But the track was way to slick for my taste today, But i guess that they didn't want to water it too much in case of rain. . Also pretty good size spectator size tonight, 11xx) when you have in mind that the weather was very uncertain. also i have a printer friendly racecard at this url: http://www.mediafire...w38o29kcka6alxa
