Heard some rumours about Jaroslaw Hampel not getting fit for the GP in Krsko. Anyone who can confirm that ?

As long KB qualifies, it does not matter if he ends up first or seven. But in the final it is another matter.

On KB's homepage you can download a spreadsheet with the gate positions etc. for Krsko. Wroclaw and Eskilstuna will be on there as well.

I'll be there. Probably around the big crowd of KB supporters

How can you be so sure that he was laughing about knocking Bjarne off ? Why couldn't it just be a joke in the pit ? As told elsewhere here on the forum, Nicki was in Bjarne's pit after Bjarne had been released from the track-doctors, to apologise. That was seen on the Danish channel DK4. Just for the record : I'm not a NP fan at all, but I think he has improved his attitude a lot since last season, so give the man a chance. He admitted that it was a very little gap he was going for, and therefore he had no problems with getting excluded.

We ain't going to ride a Danish U21 tomorrow, in August the Danish U21 team will gather to kick some serious a.. (I hope). The only U21 tomorreow is an invitations meeting in Outrup. Next week-end there will be the Nordic individual qualifier in Elgane, Norway.

What about the line up ? Any poles in it ? If yes, then the Polish update site might do a live update then. Tomaz might know something about it. He is usually well informed about the racing in that area too.

Thanks to both of you. Very much appreciated.

Just leave an open bill at the bar, Sue, and I might take the trip across the water.

Hya Champ ! Do you have the times from Wroclaw ?

Not at all. It is usually pretty difficult to swear through a keyboard. It probably takes to long time to write the thoughts and then the "gas has left the balloon". I'm just a bit tired of all the complains about how other people are talking etc. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a supporter of "bad language" at all, but lots of the younger people (speed-way riders are not the oldest) are learning a lot through the television and the movies here. So what they hear is what they think is a normal way of speaking.

So what is wrong swearing on TV ? I don't think you can find one movie broadcasted without any "bad words", so why should riders, and other people getting interviewed, put up a way of talking they might not be practising normally ? If the viewers are not willing to listen to the interviews, just go out the room or turn to another channel or maybe contact the station and tell them not to interview certain people. They might be able to find a priest or similar that will not be using any of the bad words, but then you might let me know how many people are going to watch that interview. Many of the complains about the riders language are probably from people just sitting and waiting for the bad words to come so they will have an opportunity to "ride the high horse" letting everyone know how perfect they are. Just bear in mind : Different nationalities gives different standards. So don't try to put other people into the same boxes you are putting your fellow country-men.

And of course you were around him all the time, aehhh? He has probably heart from one of his teammembers that Bjarne looked ok and fit for the final. On the Danish channel DK4 we actually saw NP go into Bjarnes pit and apologise. And to all of you "wise guys" here on this forum, I'm beginning to get very tired of all the criticism about the way the foreigners are talking your language. How many of you can actually speak another language than English ? Lots of Danes are able to speak English to an understanable level. Some may even speak German and French too.¨ I'm just wondering how many of you are able to understand German or Danish ? And yes I know. NP does use the same words a lot of times, but you do understand him anyway, and getting his point of view.

Sorry Steve! I'm happy that you did bother anyway. I was not aware of that, thought you had the right line-up and filled it into the sheet. BTW it is looking great.

Hiya Steve ! If you look at this link, you will see a few differencies between your "Heat-line up" and the officiel "heat line up" for the GP tonight. GP-Eskilstuna

Kenneth Bjerre will replace Jaroslaw Hampel in the Eskilstuna GP on Saturday the 14th of May. Score-sheet will be available on KB's homepage

We are waiting for the confirm of Kenneth's participation in the GP later this evening. It will be published on the KB's homepage and in the forums.

Can anyone please confirm if Hampel has got injured tonight in Sweden. And if he is how bad.

I have just been told that Hampel has got injured in Sweden tonight ! Anyone who can confirm that ?

Actually I think it looks OK.

The GP's might be on the homepage of DK4, a danish tv-channel. se one of the other threads. here is the link to the other thread.

If going for a new championship, which I suppose they all are, then it is to expensive not being in one meeting as the competition usually are pretty close in the GP serie.

I don't think so, as KB has not been called in to the meeting.

It is starting at 1900 Danish time which is at 1700 "ZULU time"

The Danish TV channel DK4 is usually covering the GP's. They have it on their homepage as well. The link to the site is : DK4
