Australian Gp Is Back
Ghostwalker replied to Stats's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
No it was not. Doyle made a better start then Greg and closed the door but Greg just rode straight into Doyle. The first bend bunching is a vastly over used phenomenon, especially in situations like this but I assume that the ref are not allowed to exclude one of the monster poster boys? -

I also can't see how Greg could be allowed back? It was clearly his fault. -

I agree and imagine the hate storm if it would have been NP and not Greg. -

IIRC, Crump was sponsored by Red Bull so that might event things up. Never heard about the other Tapp guy. -

It was reported earlier that Tai, or someone in his team, had VISA problems and it seems that the same goes for Matej Zagar who says that he have problems with his VISA. http://ekuriren.se/sport/1.3536337-kuriren-avslojar-vm-stjarna-klar-for-smederna -

...and here there are complaints that the rules are released too close to the next season or at least too close to the squad declaration deadline. I also think that 2 months notice is a little too short when it comes to things that directly affects the squad/team assembly.

...and online map websites. Mildura is about 540km north of Melbourne. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Etihad+Stadium,+Bourke+Street,+Docklands,+Victoria,+Australien/Mildura+VIC+3500,+Australien/@-35.9860976,141.2985063,7z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x6ad65d452b97c1ef:0xf0456760532d9f0!2m2!1d144.9475055!2d-37.8165647!1m5!1m1!1s0x6ac30469ecf799c3:0x50579a430a0d4f0!2m2!1d142.1358321!2d-34.2063006 http://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=osrm_car&route=-34.1847%2C142.1625%3B-37.8179%2C144.9461#map=7/-36.031/143.536 -
For Elitserien, Lejonen's "loose on purpose strategy" have affected their attendance negatively, the same goes for the bad weather during June and July. Smederna's first meeting was very bad (1288) but then there have been 2000+ for the rest of the meetings with the last home meeting against Dackarna as the best meeting attendance wise with 3400. Have in mind also that the 2014 had 6 teams to post-season while there were only 4 teams this season (no quarter finals) which I think will affect the average negatively for this season. The Swedish second league, Allsvenskan had an average attendance of 997 this season.

Bjerre is hardly a rider that would ride for pocket change on the contrary he is usually described as a rider with high demands. Also the rumours is that Nicki and Holder have been given a very good pay rate. Well we'll see. Let's just say that Fröjd and Nicki have a history of leaving a trail of financial "weakness" behind them...

Jacob Thorssell have signed for Rospiggarna. Was really hoping to see him in Smederna but Rospiggarna supposedly gave him a very good financial offer. KIm Nilsson signed for Masarna. http://avestatidning.com/sport/1.3200099-sm-medaljoren-kim-nilsson-klar-for-masarna Lejonen will present their squad at press conference in 10 minutes. It can be watched at this link: http://www.vn.se/article/vn-sander-presskonferens/ Nicki, Bjerre, Pontus Aspgren and Matthias Thörnblom have been presented by Lejonen. Anders Thomsen also signed with Lejonen. Okononiewski stays with Lejonen, Hans Andersen also signed with Lejonen. Chris Holder also signed by Lejonen. So Lejonen to be bankrupt within 3 years then.

Tai Visa Issues

Because it's British immigration authorities duties to pay attention to anyone who wants to enter the UK, especially if those who want to enter also want work in the UK. -

On the othet hand MX and enduro (in some cases) uses physical start gates and those you mentioned doesn't have a single line grid. -
No I doubt RB sponsorship have any influence on wild card picks, monster sponsorship on the other hand...
