Janowski Or Doyle For 2017 World Champion,
Ghostwalker replied to Col's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Doyle had a crash again it seems. https://twitter.com/SwindonSpeedway/status/892826576378888192 As I said, his riding style makes him prone to crashing/injuries and that is something that will affect his chances of a 2017 WCh title. -
2018 Grand Prix Venues
Ghostwalker replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I've already suggested a Netherlands GP a few years ago. but hardly anyone thought it was a good idea. http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=74213&page=1&&do=findComment&comment=2326348 -
2018 Grand Prix Venues
Ghostwalker replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Will not happen. Since the renovation of the athletics running tracks, it is not allowed to cover then with gravel and etc. It also does not have a roof. I agree though that it is a nice stadium (over 100 years old) in a nice location.' However it's standard is pretty low and the seating areas are on wooden benches. -

Friends Arena was a mistake from the beginning. Tele 2 arena would have been a less bad choice since it is smaller but also have better transportation options. It is easily reachable by both car and subway and it also has allot of parking garages nearby. -

Swedish Elitserien Round 12
Ghostwalker replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
I don't know or the team manager took the opportunity for a few other riders to get some extra heat since Lejonen already were safe regarding a top 6 finish. -

I think the issue with London is the same as with Stockholm. Some fans do want to go there but the event risks to drown in all the other things going on in the city. I also think that a London Stadium GP would draw plenty of fans from Cardiff and that neither would then be profitable. -

Gastroenteritis from what I heard is the official reason but Pawlicki's no-show was expected several days ago when Cmore changed from Smederna - Lejonen to Indianerna - Piraterna. Pawlicki rode the past sunday as well so I don't think it really was Gastroenteritis. -

Torun yes but not the others. Målilla doesn't even have roof over the seating/standing areas. -
Greg Hancock Hurt?
Ghostwalker replied to False dawn's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Greg says he might try and ride in Målilla despite that he needs surgery. http://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/5942/hancock-to-delay-shoulder-surgery IMO it is questionable if he should be allowed to ride or not due to his injury. There are too many riders riding half injured and by that risking to injure themselves or others. -

I doubt that they can warrant to show another meeting from Motala. They have been there 3 times already this season. Heat 15 from Smederna - Lejonen, https://www.facebook.com/100014631943404/videos/262666574231072/ -

Gast can also be a ship crew member. I'd say (don't know) that Gastarna in this case means Pirate ship crew member. Here is an old picture of two riders, one from Monarkerna (left) (Monarchs) and one from Gastarna (right) http://www.kaparna.nu/historik/forare/foto/sala_norlen_olle_n.jpg -
That is not entirely correct. He suffered a heavy concussion so he should be a out for a while. No way he should be riding for the nearest 2-3 weeks if Mikael Teurnberg's words are true. Obviously Fricke will but he shouldn't play with fire.

Heavy concussion so he should be out for a while. Imo he should be forced to rest for two weeks minimum. Concussions are really dangerous if not properly respected/rested from. According to his Swedish team manager, Frick could move but seemed completely gone. He then sat in the pits for 30 minutes before going to hospital for check-up. http://unt.se/sport/valdsam-krasch-och-ny-forlust-4716430.aspx

Swedish Elitserien Round 12
Ghostwalker replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
Here was my prediction for team and bonus points for this round: Omgång 12 - 1 augusti Elit Vetlanda - Rospiggarna (48-42) 1 Bonus EV +1 Indianerna - Piraterna (40-50) x Bonus Pir +1 Eskilstuna Smederna - Lejonen (42-48) 1 Bonus Lej +1 #tv-meeting Masarna - Dackarna (45-45) 1 Bonus Mas +1 The result is that I had one error and that was the X between Indianerna and Piraterna. All other results went with my prediction. How did you do R&R? Injury update: https://www.vetlandaposten.se/article/livechatt-elit-vetlanda-rospiggarna-18-45/ Vaculik seems to have suffered a severe hand injury. Vaculik's hand was "demolished" according to Vetlanda's team manager in the inked article. Deep flesh wounds in the hand and on the knuckles but likely nothing broken. Max Fricke likley suffered a heavy concussion according to Mikael Teurnberg. http://unt.se/sport/valdsam-krasch-och-ny-forlust-4716430.aspx -

Fricke and Vaculik was taken off track by ambulance and both were replaced in their following heat. I don't have more info at the moment. Neither of Vaculik and Fricke is riding in heat 10. -

I agreee, Sannahed is a good track and also ny favourite track in Sweden. Smederna are struggling (2 p up) and this Tungate dude is bloody fast. 3,3,2,1 so far and he has 3 heats remaining. -

2018 Grand Prix Venues
Ghostwalker replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Sure they could but how much would it cost to rent the stadium? I suspect that 30-40k fans Isn't enough to get a positive (financial) result from such a gp. -

I also think it will depend on tonight's results. However I made some predictions in this post: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=84753&p=3000128 Lejonen-Dackarna seems like the most logic choice next week, however if Lejonen wins tonight and Dackarna loses then I don't know. -

I don't think there is room for two large stadium-GPs in Britain and I also think that the rent for Wembley and the Olympic stadium is too high i relation to how much income BSI would get from a GP held at either stadium. -

Hjelmland isn't really a new guy. He rode 3 heats in 1 meeting last season and 3 heats in 1 meeting two years ago. MIllberg is new to me as well. -
