Guest JY2003 Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 I think Sweden should have Stefan Andersson instead of David Ruud!Stefan is much more experienced! Why aint Amando Castanga in the Italy squad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JY2003 Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Is he still going? God he must be about 80 by now!!!!!!!!!! Â Yeh i think he is still going!I think he is still riding in Italy! Â Very nice to see Roman POVAZHNY in it! Â Why not put Petri Kokko in the Finland team? I saw him@Eastbourne will Olli the other day andi think he could be planning a come back!

Peter Posted July 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Why not put Petri Kokko in the Finland team? I saw him@Eastbourne will Olli the other day andi think he could be planning a come back! It's been a while since he last rode competitively and it wouldn't have been wise to put him in a major championship meeting without any recent meetings under his belt. He is a fast starter and the slick Danish tracks would have suited him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 I heard that too, and that Iceland are replacing them !! This WC just gets more farcical by the minute. Â Surely it's all gone a bit far when a supermarket gets to enter a team in the SWC - what next Marks and Spencer's Soft Furnishings ?
