Riga Gp Tickets 2014
Ghostwalker replied to James 12345's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
In what way has it been a disaster? What is wrong with the stadium? Judging from the pics I have seen the stadium look fine and why does it matter if there aren't any flood lights 1-2 weeks before the GP if they have been installed in time for the practice and actual race night? And why are you blaming the poor weather on the organizers? There is nothing they can do about it. If it rains allot on the day before and the day of the GP what are they supposed to do about it? No un-roofed track in the world would manage to stay unaffected by large amount of rains. If you remember last years at Cardiff, the track was in a very poor condition the day before the GP despite that the track have a roof. -
Patryk Dudek Tests Positive For Banned Substance
Ghostwalker replied to lastword's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Actually it is the complete opposite and removed results are retroactive from the time of the test. Here are a couple of example of an athlete that got her results from several years removed: http://www.svt.se/sport/friidrott/rysk-maratonstjarna-i-dopningsskandal http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/07/us-athletics-russia-abitova-idUSBRE8A61LS20121107 I don't think that is correct. It is the same substance as Evy Sachenbacher was found guilty of using and it is on Wada's list. http://list.wada-ama.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/2014-Prohibited-List-ENGLISH-FINAL.pdf Page 8 under S6. STIMULANTS b: Specified Stimulants (examples). methylhexaneamine. -
Patryk Dudek Tests Positive For Banned Substance
Ghostwalker replied to lastword's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I read in an article today that the Swedish motorcycle sports federation (Svemo) will not deduct any of Dudeks points in the meetings he have ridden since he was tested. Imo this is a pretty strange decision. He have been caught (pending test result of b-test) using a forbidden substance which means that he is presumed to have gotten an advantage of it. Then why should his points till count? It's not like only had an advantage of it in individual events. Perhaps Svemo doesn't want to deduct any points because it would mean that Dackarna would miss the play-offs. I can understand that a possible appeal and such would take some time which might mean that it won't be finished before the play offs, but again I wouldn't be so hard to just decide that if the b-test is positive all of Dudek's points from individual and team events since the time of the test occasion should be removed. -
Swedish Elitserien 2014, Round 13
Ghostwalker replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
You certainly did. Although Rospiggarna deserved to loose, Piraterna won because they could use Ward as a tactical substitute. Also it has been announced by Cmore's "studio" host that they will show Smederna vs. Vargarna next week. This means that this will be the fourth straight home meeting for Smederna that they televise, 4 home meetings in 7 weeks time. If any would be interested the attendances for the three previously televised meetings are: Smederna - Elit Vetlanda 2003 Smederna - Piraterna 3898 Smederna - Rospiggarna 3759 Full attendance statistics: http://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Serie/Audience/AudienceStatistics.aspx?SerieId=590 http://www.aktuellspeedway.se/sverige/elitserien/publik/2014/ -

Apparently it have been "some" rain in Holsted: http://instagram.com/p/rpgusQI_HA/ They have completed 8 heats and the score is 28-20 to Holsted. -

They have not decided where to go yet. They wanted to think about it. The only certain is that they won't go to Vetlanda. -
Swedish Elitserien 2014, Round 13
Ghostwalker replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
It will be decided by rider point quota. Won rider points divided by lost riders points. Apparently Smederna needs to win with at least 51-39 to take the last place in the play offs. Or if Rospiggarna defeats Dackarna and takes the bonus. -
Swedish Elitserien 2014, Round 13
Ghostwalker replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
it is possible but very difficult. If Rospiggarna defeats Dackarna with big scores at the same time as Smederna defeats Vagarna with reasoanble big score Smederna will pass Dackarna. Smederna could also qualify instead of Vagarna if Smederna scores at least 61p or if Vargarna scores less then 30p. -

Ghostwalker replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
Vetlanda surprisingly lost away against Dackarna. Emil Sajfutdinov, Tai Woffiden and Jarek Hampel suddently lost their form all three at once. Those three riders have 12p together from 11 heats.#cheaters. http://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/DrivingSchedule/CompetitionLiveResult.aspx?Branch=Speedway&Columns=CompetitionInfo,Branch,Name,Arena,Organizer,FromDateShort&Datefilter=Today&pagesize=10&CompetitionId=3379&ShowAll=true Lost on purpose. -
Swedish Elitserien 2014, Round 13
Ghostwalker replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
I forgot what he said but. Roughly Stefan said that he was very disappointed. That Rospiggarna wasn't putting any effort into the grading, He said that if Rospiggarna would have had proper equipment and dry shale to put on the track, this meeting could have been continued 30-40 minutes earlier. -

It was one initially, a second one came out after a while. However it almost seems like the track staff is delaying in purpose so that they can cancel the meeting? -

Yep, it says 21.40 now. Anyway quite embarrassing from Rospiggarna to only have one tractor and no dry shale to put on. *edit two tractors. -

Ghostwalker replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
they will do a grading of the track since there is blue sky all around. The grading will take about 30 minutes but they intend to race again after that. -

Ghostwalker replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
According to the Swedish broadcast it is the complete opposite. The rain have stopped and there is lots of blue sky around the track. If the current result will be final. Rospiggarna will take the aggregated bonus. -

Ghostwalker replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
An incredible permanence from Smederna have made sure that they have won the aggregated bonus point despite that their three best riders are absent. Kenni and Laguta are injured while Przedpelski was forced by Torun to stay at home to ride in an U21 meeting.
