SO you reckon that riders like Zorro, PK, Max... are just as good as Greg just because they are "the same" age as Greg who is still good?

This is the GP series not some little veteran league for old boys go before they retire. Zorro is a nice guy and a good "team player", good to have in you team even if his scores isnt always that good. I think he was one of the reasons that my now folded team Smederna actually performed better then many expected and i liked that he was back where he belonged. But the GPs is no place for him or any other rider of the same standard/career position. He is already inconsistent in the leagues so how are he going manage a full season - Budgetwise, GP team wise and etc. I am pleased that we now might have 3 swedes in the GPs next season but not so pleased if Zorro's qualification means that Antonio wont get a WC. Zorro also intend to ride in all three leagues next season so he should realize his limits. he will hardly be a better rider next year or will he? Or perhaps we should kick all the young ones out and bring in more oldies like Hamill, Loram, Trick, Ermolenko, PK? That will surely increase the interest in the GPs. If you dont like younger riders in the Gps well too bad for you then but you dont have to watch.

replace Zagar with and Iversen two of these three, Miedzinski, Grigory Laguta and Richardson. I also think it will be hard for Lindbäck to get a wc now when Zorro is in.

well Antonio was in his way to qualify but Jonas Davidsson did something strange in the semi and let Zorro pass him in their final heat meaning Antonio got knocked out. Zorro was also seeded into the semi.

too bad for EVS that you dont ride at Smedstadion coz that is a track that Misiek definitely rides well on

are there something wrong with the other Gp cahllenge thread since people are posting here instead of in the other? :angry: :angry:

zorro in the Gps what a f*****g joke he van hardly score more then 5-6p in Elitserien. Cant really understand why he bothers coz he will be next years Nicholls. Cant say im looking forward to another veteran in the GPS

Richardson is the only brit that deserves A WC. The others are not good enough at the moment. But i do like that Hampel and Holder are in. They are two good riders. my WC pics would be: Anto9, Zagar, Richardsona and possible Andersen if the current top 8 will be the same after Bydgoszcz

yeah i read that too there wasn't really many others too choose from with Svemo's silly rules. tbh i don't think he will be the saviour EVS fans was hoping for.

updated the results posts with the missing scores and Valsarnas lineup for tomorrows return meeting in Allsvenskans playoff final. Örnarna won tonight's meeting with 53-43

the first final between Örnarna and Valsarna is available at this link: http://www.speedway.nu/2009/reportNY.asp?AllsF.GF

how about taking a look here: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/ind...showtopic=50588 ? in the thread that is just a few rows further down from this.

he crashed in a meeting in Czech rep. broke his thigh bone. Vetlanda is chasing a new rider to replace Vaculik. no info yet on who he is. Also there will be NO live broadcast at Canal+ on Wednesday apparently Cnl+ chooses to show football instead.

vargarna's success is not entirely thanks to good riders the riders but the very advantageous hometrack which is short and narrow and most of the visiting teams have a very hard time riding on their track. Vargarna also seems to have a a good portion of lucj on top of that with injured/anavilable riders in their opponents team. (Gollob Laguta last week, Vaculik and possible crump next week)

no it dont. atleast not at the moment. WIth Vaculik out for 6 months and an injured Crump that might not be able to ride next week, Without those i do not think Vetlanda can match Vargarna. Especially not away in Norrköping.

I think Hampel and Miedzinski will be top contenders as well.

Vetlanda's Martin Vacilik have broken his thigh bone earlier tonight and will be away from speedway for at least 6 months.

status update regarding Jason Crump: http://www.elitvetlanda.se/index.php?page=...e=1&id=1463 Jason had a surgery during Tuesday (yesterday) during which new skin was transplanted to the inside of his left upperarm, from the armpit and downwards. There is no nervdamages and no damages to any bones in his shoulder or arm. When it comes to rahab and healing, its different for different people and this is nothing that can be rushed but Jason is going on daily checkups to see that it is healing as expected. According to some people Jason himself made a statement, to the newspaper in Vetlanda, where he is supposed to have said that he want to ride on Tuesday and Wednesday next week because he want a revenge from the previous meeting in Norrköping between these two teams where Jason and Vetlanda suffered a huge defaet, hope Anders can confirm this.

Canal+ will show Indianerna vs. Lejonen on Tuesday. Wenesday's schedule haven't been released yet but a good guess is that they will choose the Sf that seem to be the closest. If Lejonen would end up veru close with Indianerna and vargarna would have maybe 12p Margin over Vetlanda i think they will go to Vetlanda. Or the opposite if Vetlanda is very close to Vargarna after Tuesday's SF and Indianerna have a decent lead over Lejonen i think they will go to Gislaved. I will update y'days scores later this evening and also add lineups for Fridays 2nd Allsvenskan final.

very exciting now Indianerna and Västervik current both ´-8 behind whichmeans Västervik would go through, Västervik looses the 16th heat with 2-4 and they are out.

Indianerna is currently best looser with -4 points. Västervik is currently at -8 and Dackarna at -16. additional live result available here: Lej-Dack http://essupdate.elitspeedway.nu/stats.aspx?matchid=86 Västervik - Varg: http://essupdate.elitspeedway.nu/stats.aspx?matchid=87 ElitV - Ind http://essupdate.elitspeedway.nu/stats.aspx?matchid=88

I think then, that Saturday July 17th (week 28) might be a likely date for the first semifinal.

Jason will not ride for Elit Vetlanda because of his crash yesterday. Vetlanda will Peter Ljung instead of Crump.

tnx for the streams. please use the Play Off thread for discussions about the meeting(s).

Well there are scenarios that i think can justify a Wild Card system. There is allot of injuries in speedway and a rider can enter the qualifications but hwta happenes if they get injured while leading the Quali semi but because if the injury he cannot continue the semi and misses the chance to qualify for the Gp challenge. Or even worse a GP rider enters the qualifications but also gets injured while riding a the qualifications. For this rider too the injury prevents further advancement in the qualifications. The injury also causes this rider to finish outside the top 8 (he was with top 8 before injury) don't you think it would a good idea with a WC system so that this rider can be in the gp the next season? The qualifications also sometimes reward those who are familiar with the track so i don't know if it would be possible but i would like to have 2-3 CP challenge finals instead of one just to make sure that no rider gets too much advantage from the track. I think that the WC system is good if used in an appropriate way. However i do think that is totally wrong to give the same people the WCs year after year. Like Nicholls should not get another WC because he have already got his chances Also Isn't Emil S a WC rider this year?
