I just heard in the Daish Telly, that Ole Olsen was about to change the GP into another setup with only 16 riders. Anyone heard about that option in UK :?: :?:

Thanks to Champion for the details from Pocking. Very appreciated.

Kenneth has won the U/19 European Championship in Pocking Germany. He scored maximum points. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: Kenneth Bjerre rules

Actually I prefer no. 15 and 18. But that might be because of the nationality. 1. choice is Kenneth.

Anyone knows if there will be a LIVE UPDATE from the match ?

Thank you very much Anders. It is an excellent match report, which gave me a lot of clear answers, after I have been following the competition on the Polish homepage. Not an easy task as Polish is not my favourite language at all. Thank you again. Cya around

I heard that a lot of the riders had chain-problems, in fact 9 of the "front-chains" had broken, I''m told, and one rear chain as well. Anyona having any ideas of how that can be. Is it because they are running so hot on the long track that they burn all the "grease/Oil" out ? I was just wondering.

What about the last heat ?

1500 Swedish time, which is in 2½ hour

Anyone know about a LIVE update from Sweden ?

Anyone got all the scores ?

You're quite right JJ. It was only a matter of meters, and he would have won the Nordic Championship as his chain broke only 50 meters from the goalline :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( At that time he was leading by at least 15 meters to the later winner of the competition. In fact Kenneth was fast, and had the two fastes times of the competition.

Actually Kenneth has a British Mechanic, but you are maybee talking about Rune. I know for a fact that Rune has been working on his engines. Maybe he succeded in that ? Another thing is that Rune was gating very well in the competition, and it was only the damn chain, which dropped off as he tried to pass Kenneth inboard and caused the EF for Rune. :-( Had Rune got just one point in the heat, he would have had the silver, and that would be OK as he was riding very well. That is the only reason that PUK (Iversen) got his silver. He was the best man in the run-of, but he was unlucky in his first heat too as he fell of the bike. :-(

Next Saturday, the 23rd of August, Kenneth will be riding for the qualification to the European U/19 championship in Herning. Would be extremely nice if Kenneth could make a good race here too. GO KENNETH GO 8) Bjerre rules the Danish tracks for the moment 8)

On Sunday the 17th of August Kenneth Bjerre is going for the Danish U19/U21 National Championship on the track in Randers. The way Kenneth is riding for the moment, he will be threat to anyone participating in the competition ! GO for it Kenneth, GO.

The result showed a bad decission as Ronni Pedersen never made up to the KB standard. No doubt that KB would have made a lot more points than Ronni. Jacob Olsen, National Danish coach, used the argument that the two youngsters was not used to ride in a 5 riders match. Hmmmmmm. From my point of view, they do have the wildness and courage of the youth, which they might have been able to use in the battle of the first curve too. Yes, they are not experienced but they have the speed. Wrong decissions gives bad results ! ! ! ! :-( Jacob should have sticked to his impressions, and not got scared and political. I think he was under a lot of preassure from certain people in the Danish team or close to ! :twisted:

Thank you guys! I think Kenneth will be very happy for your support, and I will make sure he will hear it. In my opinion Jacob Olsen is making a mistake by taking out Kenneth. :roll: But I think I am looking out of yellow glasses too. see you

Yeah, but who else should then be of the team ? As I see it has been a tough choice.

You are absolutely right. The Danish SWC team has been made public today. tTe reserves are : - Charlie Gjedde - Ronnie Pedersen. Jesper B Jensen is out of the troop.
