  1. Losing twice to Masters wasn't good.But that last heat is just what I mean.Jonsson and Smoli both didn't ride and that changes things around unfairly maybe for the other riders and imo more importantly,robs the fans of seeing the better riders.Then again I wasn't there so what do I care
  2. What happened to Lahti? "his to lose" I think it was It is a great meeting,but like the Ostseepokal that has a similar format,i feel a little cheated that a good rider has qualified from 2 heats and then pulls out of his third heat as he is already through.Not really doing that for my entertainment I think
  3. Say that to the poor bugger who gets hit in the head by a golf ball flying at 60mph that was hit by someone who found it hard to concentrate because his dad is injured
  4. Wonder if he was somehow on Harris's bike and Chris was on Antonios and after the meeting they noticed the mistake and now everything is back to normal
  5. Wasn't the Onesport mafia that done it?
  6. That is right.In a run-off.I think Mikkels chain came off Here are the final results http://www.speedway.org/junioren-wm/2015/index.html The meeting can be watched again here.The run-off at 92 minutes.Mikkelsen shed a chain right from the tapes http://www.ceskatelevize.cz/ivysilani/10161678681-motocyklove-zavody/215471291272003-finale-ms-jezdcu-na-ploche-draze-do-21-let
  7. Not sure I am understanding this.When you say the stadium will be available throughout the week,do you mean the track or restaurant etc,as that seems to contradict the other post.......
  8. And not very often from the records.Guess he must have done second halves or junior meetings,because a normal speedway riders rides more in a month than that Rob Homer did in 3 years....
  9. Wembley was great though.As a stadium and as a team.And what a fan base they had.Never see their like again
  10. Surely starting at the bottom makes it more expensive for youngsters,especially those that have already started out.They have to buy brand new kit,rather than second hand stuff............and the guys at the top of the ladder can carry on using their bikes,when they are more in a position to afford new gear
  11. But I was quoting the post where you called it a junior golden helmet
  12. Saw something on the net criticising young riders for wanting too much....travel money etc and asking how it was in other motorsports and how the times have changed.........So guess that had something to do with it
  13. Team Finland 50 p. Griparna 33 p. Kavaljererna 22 p. Jooa 14 p. Jari 13 p. Mika 12 p. Niklas 11p. Hyvä hyvä TEAM FINLAND. Think maybe Hammarby refused to ride,but not sure.
  14. That is how things go in the sport.You will get "veiled" comments from Tatum and Pearson(I think it was) about Emils engines,which went on for weeks or months when he was going fantastic in the GPs.You will get "veiled" comments about "polish speed" from people in the sport when the Poles are ding really well.Think Stekkers was one ,when Poland beat Denmark in the SWC.These sort of comments have been going on for decades and very very rarely does anyone put the money up to make an official protest.Just veiled remarks.That is how it has been and probably always will be,not just from fans,but more often than not from riders and officials.People(and this often means riders)can't believe that someone else can be so much better than themselves or the rider they favour. Korneliussen was in some paper the other year saying he knew riders were cheating.Did he come out and name any?Did he make any protests at any meetings?I'll leave those for you to answer
  15. Think there are better examples of problems with Svemo?THJ and was it Lindgren had problems in recent years......
  16. That's the meeting.Came out for the poor Tobi Kroner and even I was impressed with him being just 16 at the time.Then I was looking forward to seeing him do the biz at teterow and he managed not even a lap(I think) before he came a cropper and was out of the meeting!!!!!
  17. Will there be another young German lined up to replace him if he doesn't come back next season,i wonder?
  18. Yesterday just underlines the fact that Kildemand is a much better GP rider than Chris Harris.Nothing "so called" about it,sadly
  19. Couldn't have been a season long ban as he rode in the WTC Final in Wroclaw 11.09.1966 scoring 2pts
  20. Oh cone on and wake up......you tell me ou haven't heard of Härtel,the new young wonder kid from Germany?Didn't you watch the European meeting from Landshut last season for instance?I am surprised at you!!!! Actually tried to find out what meeting it was and cannot..........
  21. Anything at Lübeck seems highly unlikely at the moment......... http://www.zeit.de/2015/26/flughafen-luebeck-investor
  22. Seeing as I went to the trouble of searching out the report from last years problem meeting for the U21 team quali,including a couple of vids showing a couple of the crashes on the same bend I think it only right to put it on this thread http://www.speedweek.com/speedwayu21teamwm/news/58005/U21-Team-WM-Teterow-Deutsches-Team-versagte.html second meeting last season, this time riders refused to ride http://www.speedway-forum.de/index.php/Thread/11102-Eklat-am-Bergring-Junge-Speedway-Fahrer-boykottieren-den-Start/?postID=173042&highlight=teterow#post173042
