A good rider,that has always impressed me from seeing him on 80cc in the YGT to seeing him this year for Vojens......

Well done Dennis Andersson

Still leave a lot of questions unanswered.....like where was Scott? Scott says he wants to ride,Rob Lyon says no.So,that still doesn't answer the question of where he was.Especially as Scott seems to think the initial "no" was only for the first meeting.So you would have thought he would go and support the lads like Rico did.But why did he think Rob Lyon was going to give him another phone call when it seemed Rico knew he was going to be in the following meeting?All sounds strange what is in this article....

I heard this a couple of days back.I should have a couple of fotos in the proggie Look forward to seeing how they both go.My favourite is Kevin,but maybe Max can pull of a surprise.I would love to see Kevin in the PL.I do think that is what he needs at this stage of his career,even if it means i won't get to see him as much in Denmark maybe.....not sure what sort of track Armadale is(but then you might not be there long),but i have seen Kevin ride very well at smallish and big tracks

I don't think so(although for sure his individual titles were won for NZ.But i was meaning team events).But Ronnie is a perfect example being born in Australia and representing both Australia and New Zealand at test level and also GB.....i don't think he ever got the sort of stick that Tai is getting on this thread.I think all the teams were happy to have him and all the fans as well.Oh for the days before the internet moaners

That is correct. But still.....Ivan is surely the only rider to win an FIM Gold medal for 2 different countries

No you are right.............

Thanks for that.Seems to prove there isn't a ruling,unless it was introduced after Ferjan rode for Hungary.But surely Ivan Mauger for instance rode for GB and New Zealand back in the 70s.......

But it did rain at Vojens during the meeting......so maybe the watering before and during the meeting was affected by the knowledge that rain was on its way? I thought all 4 meetings were great entertainment(although i didn't see an awful lot of the Final......

But i think individual meetings are slightly different.You can be a representative or more correctly nominated by any nation.Look at Theo Pijper he is now nominated by France i think.Shane Colvin by Belgium i think in FIM meetings.Laguta was nominated by Latvia for their GP,which got up the Russian federations nose.......But to ride for a national team you have to actually hold the nationality of that team.So it might be that representation in individual meetings doesn't count.Which is why i didn't mention Holta on purpose.But i have no idea if there is a ruling in speedway.I think there might be one in football introduced though but then in football they only have team,not individual events

Good post arnie.Unfortunately i think it won't make a lot of difference.A fair few will still be sat in front of the tv,logged into this forum just waiting for one of the commentators to make a mistake so they can post within milli-seconds "Did you hear what xxxxxxx just said?...blah,blah,blah....." I imagine some even record meetings and go back through the recording concentrating on the commentating team rather than the racing

Is this new? Surely Ferjan has been in both the Slovenian and Hungarian SWC team

You know the world is turning upside down,when a Rangers fan is one of the sensible ones

Some people on here really frighten me.....He was born in one country and grew up in another.His family come from one country,while most of his friends ome from the other i would guess.He probably feels empathy with both and had to make a choice.Most people here wanted him to make the choice he did.Let's leave the kid alone and enjoy his efforts in and for the country.I have 3 kids.1 born in London and 2 in Germany.They all feel German at the moment,but why shouldn't she(they) also be happy with their English heritage?

Thought i read Gdansk were having trouble as well Yes....jut found this about Gdansk owing Hans and Kenneth a fair bit of dosh.....Gdansk

You have to say he has a low average because that is what he deserves.......buthaving seen him he is a pretty talented rider.<i saw him give Bjerre a few scares in Denmark one night.But is he another of those extremely talented Poles that will just tail off and disappear.....like Hlib,Rempala and Zabik have/will?

And that is probably the place you would expect him to be remembered.I don't want to sound disrespectful,but an international meeting doesn't really strike me as being the right place.There are probably sadly a number of international riders and admin people that die every month,but won't be respected on such a stage.Last year the President og Togliatti was murdered on the street.I am not sure if his memory was honoured internationally,and i would imagine he was a far bigger player on the international speedway scene

Never heard of either person mentioned in that first thread.......so it took me ages to even look at the thread i confess.Doubt that many speedway fans have heard of him either,sadly.That is the way i guess.I am only really interested in riders anyway.But obviously some people like Pratt,Middlo and Rosco you hear about.Must confess i had never heard of Rob Lyon before his GB manger appointment,so it is no wonder i have never before heard of this guy

Well i am still wondering who Yllinen thingmybob was talking to in a foreign language on the phone.....

Oh,i know 1 or 2 things I was told something that really surprised me this week.Well 2 things actually.But none i can put on a forum without endangering my life

I'll second that.Great presentation and some great racing.....what speedway should be like always

Exactly....the football rule makes sense in a non cheating,encouraging teams to play the game.whereas the speedway rule(most speedway rules in fact) encourage cheating or shall we say not riding to the best of your ability......Speedway in a nutshell

I think 1 or 2 clubs are looking at the German connection

Yup.Looks like the Ginger one mucked up on a couple of fronts this week.Did anyone see him wearing a Team GB shirt by any chance?

Speedway in a nutshell.........
