No i didn't Dave.Too much going on.More important i even missed a beer that Arthurs dad had got me after the YGT

I can't vouch 100% as there might have been a tactical or 2 that i missed.The tannoy system was unintelligible where i was.I noticed a few but could easily have missed something. Was a better meeting than maybe the scores indicate.Sedgman fell whilst in second.Alex davies was excluded for unfair riding while in a good position and little Cameron Heeps made a great gate in his second heat only to fall.

I gave Hans your details and he seemed ok with the idea.So hopefully he will answer your query

Results from todays team meeting in Fredericia 1.Denmark 2.Australia 3.Sweden 4.Poland Spiderweb.To answer some of the questions you ask.Well they do race 125's here as well.Not in Denmark,but in Germany they have a 125 class rather than 80cc.In Czecho i think they might have the 125's as well.I remember they are having this Marketa Cup for juniors there on 125's maybe.The FIM have set up a comittee to look into trying to sort it all out into a unified systembut i doubt it will happen.Denmark are not going to change from 80cc as they have far too much invested in the system and the results speak for themselves.Other countries like Germany can't really set up an 80cc system i guess.They use the normal track with bigger bikes. Wjhy there are no Brits here.Good question.And one i was speaking to the ref at the YGT about.He was a Brit.Pretty embarrasing that the boys from Oz come all the way over,but no Brits can be bothered.And some might say "we don't have 80cc meetings".But Arthur Sissis had never seen an 80cc bike until this week That is it after today i think they all head over to England for a few days and then back home.Although Arthur will be back in Europe soon thanks to Red Bull

I think both Alex Davies and Taylor Poole were just a bit unlucky.They were as good as some if not most of the finalists and i reckon could have done some damage if they had of made it through. Just off now to see the team meeting

A couple of pics here

What's up guys? Thought the results would be up ages ago 1.Mikkel Michelsen he even thanked me for coming to the meeting! 2.Mikkel B.Jensen 3.Arthur Sissis Results M.Michelsen (1,3,2,3,3)12 M.B.Jensen (3,2,ex,3,3)11+3 A.Sissis(Au) (2,2,2,2,3)11+2 J.B.Andersen (2,2,3,1,3)11+1 M.J.Jensen (3,1,3,3,f)10 J.Thorsell (S) (3,1,2,2,2)10 J.Bukhave (3,3,0,3,0)9 L.Bjerre (2,f.x,3,2,2)9 M.Salomonsen (1,1,3,2,1)8 K.L.Nielsen (0,3,0,0,2)5 J.Schaff (1,3,f.x,1,0)5 N.Porsing (1,2,1,f.x,1)5 M.Randrup (0,0,1,1,2)4 T.Nordberg (S) (0,1,1,1,1)4 A.Porsing (2,0,f,0,1)3 M.F.Pedersen (0,0,2,e.f,0)2 Great meeting.Delayed because of more rain,but once it got going it was a treat.Very even as you can see by the points totals.Everyone was dropping points.Got to feel a bit for poor Liglad.Going into the last round he was in the lead on 10 and then doesn't even finish on the rostrum.The 2 Mikkels have been favourites of mine for a couple of years so it was good to see them both come out up there.But what can you say about this kid Arthur Sissis?One hell of a talent at just turned 13.Only sat on one of these bikes for the first time on wednesday .He was one of the two Aussies who didn't race last weekend in Holsted as he didn't have a bike.Had a long chat with Arthurs dad while the meeting was being delayed and the tales are unbelievable just how talented all round on motorbikes this boy is

Yes that is right Here though Lasse Kragh pulled out after 3 rides.His 4th ride was taken by Emil Meyer and his 5th by Oliver Berntzon. Plus i am not sure what has happened.The announcer said there would be 3 run-offs,but there was only 2.Rasmus Jensen beat Kenneth Dyrvig(they both have 8 points) and then Mikkel B beat Jesper Schaff.I don't know what happened with 3rd spot!!!!I make Liglad and Jonas B both on 11 points as well

Yes i was talking to Phil "Crazy" Mackay.Great guy.Arthur also has help from Danish tuner Brian Andersen,who Phil got in. Yes he was in a run-off but fell whilst in second place. As for talent.Obviously look out in the future for Michael Jepsen Jensen.I said a year or two back he is like a litle Nicki Pedersen(his determination to win).Well yesterday he even had his own air fan to cool himself down!But definitelly the two Mikkels(Michelsen + B.Jensen)who were seeded into todays semi finals.And i must say i was impressed with Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen.I was a bit disappointed in the Swedes.At least until the last quali.Norberg and Fredh looked quite good.But i can see Australia beating then and Poland in the team meeting.Not sure if they could beat Denmark though.I heard(from Peter S + Mick Poole)that all 6 riders will be in the team comp.A special system devised by jan Staechmann.For Denmark Michael J.Jensen,M.B.Jensen.M.Michelsen and Lasse Bjerre are already picked and the last two places will be decided by results in the individual comp. The person who really impressed though is Erik Gundersen.He was working all the way through with all the Danish lads giving them advice and geeing them up after a fall.But it really is one big family there.A lot of the Danish boys are sporting Australia hats 4 of the guys were in a two day meeting last weekend at Holsted,so they have had a bit of practice,but i think Sedgeman only got his bike a few days back.Taylor has been with Crump for a bit and had to build his bike up himself with guidance from Jason.Looking forward to seeing how he goes.But Mick said a wet track won't bother him at all.In fact he goes faster in the wet! Only put a few pics on because of lack of time Photos Line-ups for semi-finals here

Just to say that in heat 6 Kenneth Dyrvig was excluded and his place was taken by the reserve in the re-run Simon Fischer(i guess).I did see Mr Fischer running around and as Lasse Kragh was already in the comp i guess it must have been Simon

Quali ! Kasper Lykke Nielsen(2,3,3,3,3)14 A.Davies(AU) (2,2,3,3,3)13+3 L.Bjerre (3,1,3,3,3)13+e.f E.Nörret (3,3,2,2,1)11 A.Porsing (3,3,2,2,e.f)10 V.Palovaara(S) (3,f.x,1,3,2)9 E.Ashede (S) (2,3,1,1,1)8 J.Schaff (0,2,2,2,2)8 S.Wozniak (PL) (1,ex,3,1,2)7 .................................. J.Sedgman (AU) (f,0,2,1,3)6 M.Thörnblom (S) (1,2,1,ex,1)5 ......................................... J.Palmi(Fin) (f.rem,0,e.f,2,2)4 M.Liszka (PL) (2,1,0,1,0)4 J.Nieminen (Fin) (e.f,2,0,0,1)3 R.Benko (H) (1,f.1,0,e.f,e.f)2 D.Nielsen (S)f.x,1,f,0,0)1 Alex Davies looked pretty impressive in this one.Track was wet to start with and then the rain got worse.Stopped after 7 heats and was a long break.Justin Sedgman maybe struggled in the wet conditions but got better after the lengthy break.In the run-off Lasse was left at the gate In quali 2.Arthur Sissis!!!!!!Wow,what a rider.Tiny little kid,but boy can he gate.He was a bike length in front in a few of his heats after about a second.And when he made the gate there was no stopping him.When he didn't make the gate there was still very little stopping him.In his second heat he was at the back and then came through into second.Then in the big battle,heat 15 against the 2 unbeaten Danes(M.J.Jensen +N.Porsing)Arthur was in third but had a great race to pass Porsing.Pity it seems his speedway future is limited and he will be Road Racing instead.What a talent.Clinton Dennis was a little unlucky.In his last heat on the last bend he lost control when in second place and ended up 3rd.Otherwise he would have been in a run-off

Thought i read Emil was stuck here in Germany with visa problems.Couldn't make the Elitserien either

I looked on a Polish speedway fans forum last year.I think it might have been Stal Gorzów fans forum.And i was shocked that there were a few avatars that couldn't be described as anything but extreme right wing of Fascist.Pretty sure there was "White power",Swastikas and a rework of the figure putting rubbish in a rubbish bin putting an Isreali flag in the bin,i think

I have followed Simons career a bit more than Kildemand.Simon is ex 80cc World Champ.Rode for Vojens in the 80cc league and was part of a very strong team then.Rides now for Holsted Simons website Peter i am not sure how often i have seen him.Could very well be that last month when he came second in the Nordic U19 final was the first time.Never really noticed him before if i have seen him.But he looked very impressive there on his home track at Fjelsted.

When will you be there Peter?Just for the final or all meetings?

I think f-s-p is enjoying a holiday Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible

Sounds perfect.

Line up for the team meeting in Güstrow saturday night.Taken from inspeed.de KS Stal Gorzow Pawel Hlib Marcin Podlaszewski Slawomir Drabik Lukasz Cyran Adrian Szewczykowski Mateusz Mikorski MC Güstrow Robert Baumann Steffen Mell Erik Pudel Mathias Schultz Tobias Busch Kevin Wölbert Not sure if i can make that after the YGT final,but might be worth a try Although i'd probably get there and half the field would be changed for lesser riders

So now you know who will be on 12 points next year if the rule stays the same.Just surprised you haven't asked why Tobi isn't on a 12 point assesed average

At Vojens last year when Puk,Bjarne and Dryml qualified for the GPs

Yes.Watched about 5 or 6 EL meetings so far and without exception all have been sh#te

And don't tell me ......the Dryml brothers are on maximums at the mo? It is a bit strange with some of the scores.Just look at Holta.Is he testing his new engine again?

Wimbledon fans seem to be very helpful,while Coventry fans are just pains in the
