  1. Has he taken a sniff of gas before talking?He should be riding for the other team he sounds like Mickey Mouse
  2. Guess from some of the comments that i wasn't wrong about the track
  3. Always been a bit of a Gorzów fan ever since the Gorzów legend Steady Eddie rode for the Dons.Just as all the Smederna riders that rode for us made itan easy choice which Swedish team would be my favourite Same as in Denmark,which is why i am no big fan of the 'newish' look Superliga.I do though understand the financial reasons for the change in Denmark,but the racing was far superior with the old format
  4. In all seriousness the EL has provided some of the best racing so far.Was a real pity the Poole meeting was stopped by rain as that was really looking good.Far better than any Polish meetings i have seen so far
  5. Had a google and like i said last week....Grindsted to Holsted 32km,Grindsted to Korskro 35km,but according to the net it is quicker to Korskro Agree with your assesment,barring any accidents it should be a close one and hopefully an exciting one as well.Saw Porsing + Razzer ride for Holsted yesterday and nothing really amazing.Lost to Glumsö with Mikkel Michelsen and Nicki Barrett(is it Barrett or Barret??? seen it both ways so many times)looking good after the long night before in Outrup
  6. Well i think i am right(maybe Pawel can confirm?)but i wouldn't get your hopes up too much with the first meeting.Think Wroclaw doesn't have a good reputation.Hopefully the second meeting will produce some good racing.That is the one i will be watching
  7. Plenty of links for Wroclaw + Gorzów.The usual ones every week i would havethought.TVP,Drhtv and sopcast are all there,plus others
  8. Not sure that is what i'll be hoping for,but it would be what you might expect from the GP Challenge.That the riders who qualify just ain't up to it.I do hope he manages to get his career back on track as a few years back he was quite exciting and had people around Europe talking about him positively
  9. Really big test for Robert coming up at Norden.Coming up against a very tough international line-up.Looking forward to seeing how he does in this one http://www.speedway.org/renntermine/2012/norden/index.html
  10. Big,but pleasant surprise that Brokstedt could get an away win in Bavaria.Landshut let down by Gafurovs problems in his first few heats,but great stuff from Zetterström,Borudulin + Tobi with vital points from Max + Matten.Looking very open this year Landshut 42 M.Smolinski (2,1',1,3,3,3)13+1 R.Gafurov (e.f,e.f,e.f,3,2',3)8+1 T.Lahti (2,2,6,1,0,e.f)11 M.Helfer (1',1,0,3,1,0)6+1 M.Sekula (2,1,1,0)4 Brokstedt 45 M.Zetterström (3,3,3,3,2,1')15+1 V.Borudulin (1,3,2',2,2',2)12+2 M.Dilger (0,0,2,0,1',1')4+2 T.Kroner (3,3,2',f.x,1,2)11+1 M.Kröger (1,0,2,f)3
  11. Can't say much as i have only watched the Final and of course happy Nicki won,but from the gate usual stuff.Not really a favourite track which is why i couldn't be bothered watching it.You just knew all the talk of improvements wasn't going to come off.Maybe next year? As for the crowd well i am sure Humphrey will tell us how bad it was.But we will probably get 8,000 at Teterow for the Bank Holiday meeting in the middle of nowhere......
  12. You deserve one Peter for sure.See you later i hope + Good Luck for Simon Baptism of fire for Jonas last night.Not sure how many heats he rode in,but it seemed like at least half
  13. Sincerely hope none of these riders are riding at Esbjerg tomorrow morning at 10:15 in the Div 1 meeting!!!!!
  14. Exactly......had a similar experience for a Danish 80cc Final a few years ago.Turned out Skaerbaek had forgotten to book a Doctor for the meeting.So realising their mistake quite late they had to ring round Denmark on a sunday afternoon........this meant more than an hours delay to the meeting.And the rain started just as the riders came out.Slowly at first and just got heavier........got through the meeting,but it wasn't much of a spectacle.Luckily no-one was injured,but the youngsters are pretty fearless and tend to ride in conditions their older counterparts wouldn't
  15. Often havelong delays in Denmark waiting for an ambulance to get back to the track.A few years ago now they had to decide either cancel the meeting or tell the fans to leave so they could continue.According to Peter S from Slangerup the ambulance is actaully there for crowd safety rather than ridersafety.The meeting can continue without an ambulance as long as no fans are in the stadium! Up early tomorrow to go first to Vojens to see the stars of the future including young Australian/Dane Jason Jorgensen,son of former Coventry rider John.Then probably up to Holsted for 1.division meeting.
  16. Water truck always goes round even when it doesn't water the track.It packs the shale down.....
  17. Steven Andersen was a pretty promising rider himself until he had a bad crash and that seemed to knock his confidence and was never the same after.Gave up fairly early,but i still have one of his caps Jonas will come up against Nicki Barrett,the man who pipped him to the Youth Gold Trophy in Eskilstuna.Jonas i think i am right in saying went through the whole tournament unbeaten up until the Final.Very unfortunate and i must say i am glad they done away with the Final heat after seeing René Bach beaten to a title he deserved by Michael Palm Toft after the heat was re-run twice .I think our man in Eskilstuna,Tarabanko was there that day and say's Jonas was very unlucky
  18. Ha ha,bit of an echo Still good to know we agree,so if i am wrong we both are
  19. Tonights meeting has something interesting for me.The return of Jonas Raun after a break of a few years.Always a super rider when he was with Holsted.Hope he has sorted himself out and can now finally fullfill the potential that he certainly has. Outrup Grzegorz Walasek Kenni Larsen Mads Korneliussen Claes Nedermark Jonas Raun Slangerup Grzegorz Zengota Kenneth Hansen Mikkel Michelsen Nicki Barrett Kenni Nissen Again i think this is going to be tough for Slangerup although Jonas will be an unknown for Outrup
  20. From the reports i have read it was the first home loss for 7years!!! Obviously a mistake to go without an A grade rider for what ever reason.Maybe complacency after all that time.But Barrett and Nissen are inconsistent and Monberg is never going to be a match for Andersen,so it was risky
  21. Agree with those above,that this will be a very tough task indeed.Guess the thing in GBs favour is theCzechs and toa degree the Danes wouldn't have riddenLakeside much if at all.But a couple of the Czech team done well in the U21 quali last week so won't be push overs.And they generally come out and attack tracks,even if they sometimes go flying into the fence(remember Kus in Vojens for instance).Realisticly i think 3 rd place,but hope for more
  22. TV Report from the meeting online.After the football http://www.intv.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2262&Itemid=28
  23. Bit late tonight.Guess i have missed ....not much probably.But this does show why i couldn't see the Danish clubs like Slangerup competing in the proposed Euro League.Slangerup would have been one of the teams and just imagine what they would have needed to spend to get up to strengtheven with a 6man Polish orSwedish team.Unless of courseyou ask the Poles and Swedes to destrengthen and then that just wouldn't attract the fans.I really fins it hard to believe it can work
  24. Good quality streams available and i quite like the commentator.Not over doing things or trying to take centre stage and also so far no sayings that get on yer nerves.Thumbs up from me.Also like the way the 80cc track is off centre so they can use the same starting gate.In Denmark they are usually centered in the middle so they need to set up a gate in another position
