Lets just say that I'm interested enough of this meeting to post on spook's thread... I think Rune Holta is gonna win this one, he's been riding in Vetlanda for a few years now. Kaj Laukkanen just might make it, he's an interesting fellow he is. He was totally out of it in the SWC, but just take a look at this weekend's pairs EC and he'll most likely outscore Kylmäkorpi. This is the one meeting he has to do well in this year, and he just might make it. I saw Ryan Sullivan last tuesday at Kumla, and he was just freaking excellent. SO fast! Had a chat and he's ready and willing to get back in it. Like with Laukkanen, this is the ONE meeting this year that Hans Andersen has to win/make it. Will he cope or will he collapse? I'd like to see PK in it, and have currently no grudge against Max making it... Harris has been pretty impressive internationally this year as well. Riders going through: Holta, Sully and Andersen

OK. Didn't see this bit first... This is in "my" rules also.

From the FIM rule book, go and check it yourself from fim.ch 077.9.1 Riders' scores At the conclusion of each meeting, a Final Meeting Classification will be produced, showing the Grand Prix points achieved by each participating rider. Grand Prix points will be awarded to the each rider according to his race points scored during the Main Event (Heats 1-20), or according to his placing in the Big Final (Heat 23). ---- The World Champion will be the rider having collected the most Grand Prix points at the end of the Series (Final Overall Grand Prix Classification).

EDIT: Here's heat 8 from this meeting. Poor quality, I know... Tero Aarnio/red, Emil Lindqvist/blue, Jani Eerikäinen/white and Jari Mäkinen/yellow. That's me getting a bit excited in the end... Mäkinen had a clutch problem all meeting, something they have never experienced and were unable to discover. click here EDIT2: Oops.. Huge file 18,4 Mb, better right click and save... with time...

and the one giving the medals...

Idiot!

This track look's good to me! http://www.sportowefakty.pl/?dysc_id=4&k1_...&news_id=135225

I'd call that a reasonably well documented racing incident.

Just had a chat with a mutual friend, Reima wrecked the biked used in that incident (total write-off including the engine), then tried with another and the engine went from that one. Not a day to remember, but made good tv...

Just saw the Crump - Reima incident... Think it would have been all4back if only happened 10-20 meters earlier, but since Reima was lying halway through the backstraight someone had to go. And boy it must have hurt, he had his bike sideways for a second, and alltouhg tried to let go there was too much speed. ouch. Crump must have thought that since he'd never heard of the guy (probably) he'd be further back by then... Wonder what Laukkanen was thinking in heat 4 after making the start and then going wide and giving everybody a clear run on the inside.

Ok, for some reason I thought that the number was the reason, didn't realise that it meant the position. All makes sense now, actually a pretty good snippet of info saying the pos that was riding on! Cheers

Hi guys! Can some of the polish friends pelase tell how do I read the polish heat by heat results on sportowefakty? In the UK X stands for exclusion, F for fall but in poland everything is a w/?? Thank you in advance.

Think it's that he escaped serious injury... Has already asked when he can ride again ( 4 weeks)... Henka says he cant imagine how bad it actually could have been and that small fractures in his ribs but no damage to the spine (= rygggraden?)

077.9.1 Riders' scores At the conclusion of each meeting, a Final Meeting Classification will be produced, showing the Grand Prix points achieved by each participating rider. Grand Prix points will be awarded to the each rider according to his race points scored during the Main Event (Heats 1-20), or according to his placing in the Big Final (Heat 23). Race points scored during the Main event will be awarded on the following basis: • For first place – 3 points • For second place – 2 points • For third place – 1 point • For fourth place – 0 points • Riders disqualified or failing to complete a race for any reason score no points The total race points scored by each rider at the conclusion of Heat 20 will be credited as Grand Prix points in the overall classification. However, no additional race points will be awarded to riders participating in the Semi- Final races (Heats 21 and 22) but those riders taking part in the Big Final (Heat 23) will be awarded the following Grand Prix points in place of (and not in addition to) the race points achieved during the Main Event: • First place in the Big Final – 25 Grand Prix Points • Second place in the Big Final – 20 Grand Prix Points • Third place in the Big Final – 18 Grand Prix Points • Fourth place in the Big Final – 16 Grand Prix Points In the case of a dead heat, the lowest riding number jacket will be the betterplaced rider.

any idea how Katajisto did in the 3rd quali. He was out for a month after a road accident, but came back two weeks ago. He's regarded a the best prospect in Finland that still is in 80c. And will be for a year or two.

I have to say that after realising that Laukkanen would ride a second rerun I wasn't that sure he'd make it. He lost points in the prelis to both the Russians, and what really surprised me to HEFENBROCK?! He made, thats the important part.

Yes but this is a qualifier... Hole different ball game!

http://70.85.103.141/launch_speedway_145.html Kolodziej and Laukkanen to ride for 3rd, others for 5th and 6th I think. Gotta to go and book a ferry for August....

I remember watching a video from Elgane about ten years ago... They'll run enough reruns so that everybody meets everybody. Not sure how, but I think they'll do the re-runs.

Joonas Kylmäkorpi wont probably be riding, his collarbone injury is really bad. Jyri Palomäki wont get his cast off until next friday, so maybe Tero Aarnio will get a chance after all...

"The SML (FIN) had withdrawn Joonas KYLMAKORPI (SML) N° 3, injured, and had no rider to replace him. Consequently , the CCP Bureau offered the place to the DMU (DEN) who nominated Henrik MOLLER in this meeting." No finns in the GP next year then....
