  4. Good move in my opinion, I've tried for 4 years to get NZ to recognise this class. There's a purpose built bike sitting there, we need to use it. Making An FIM championship for it will encourage the move. I thought it was a Gold Trophy for 2010 and as other classes have will move to a World Championship from there. Junior speedway in general, needs to standardise worldwide. The small track set up is obviously working in Aussie, we are at last moving that way.

  6. Two Titles Decided After Saturday night's rain, the finals of the New Zealand Sidecar and Solo champs were run in warm sunny conditions at the Robertson Holden International Speedway. Les Plummer & Kervin Demanser went one better than last season, taking the NZ Sidecar Champs in a run-off, while Englishman Jason Bunyan successfully defended his NZ Solo title. After the disappointment of the mechanical gremlins on Friday night, Palmerston North's Jade Mudgway arrived ready to show he is one of the country's top prospects, by aiming for a top-four place. In the Sidecars the battle would be to see if the three Australian combinations which made the final 16 would be able to match the top kiwi combinations. NZ Solo Champs It was clear from the first heat that three-time and current champion Jason Bunyan (Milton Keyes, England) would be the rider to beat. Bunyan headed Mudgway in the first race. Auckland’s Dylan Moohan and two star riders from Christchurch Andrew Aldridge and legend Larry Ross, a nine time former titleholder, were the other first round winners. Ross beat another favourite Craig Ramsay in his heat. Ramsay led the way in the second round with a win, with Bunyan looking unbeatable, beating last years runner up Larry Ross. Aldridge and Mudgway won the other heats. Bunyan won his third race, this time beating Aldridge by the length of the straight. Mudgway then put himself right in the hunt for a podium finish with a tight fought win over Larry Ross with both riders side by side for the first lap before Mudgway broke away. 15 year-old Aucklander Sean Mason showed he has potential with a win in the third round as well. Points after 3 rounds: Bunyan 9, Mudgway 8, Ramsay 8, Aldridge 8, Ross 7, Dylan Moohan (Auckland) 6. Apart from the top spot which continued to appear a formality for Bunyan, the minor placings were turned on their heads in round four. Mudgway won his third straight race beating Mason, while Larry Ross kept on track winning his heat as well. Southland’s John Tuffley won his first heat, but further back Ramsay and Aldridge did their chances of a top finish plenty of harm when they both finished fourth and without points in their heats. Points after 4 rounds: Bunyan 12, Mudgway 11, Ross 10, Aldridge 8, Ramsay 8, Moohan 7. Bunyan put the title beyond doubt with an easy win over the hard chasing Mason. Christchurch’s Sean Cox won his first race of the final, while Larry Ross guaranteed himself third overall. The biggest moment in Mudgway’s young career started perfectly as he easily won the start against Aldridge and Ramsay. Despite a few nervous moments as he listened for any strange noises in his bike, Mudgway underlined his potential with a big win against strong opponents. Bunyan was ecstatic with his win and although he’s an Englishman at the moment, it is probable he will shortly become a New Zealander, already owning a house in Auckland. Mudgway put the gut wrenching feeling he had on Friday behind him with a bigger performance by finishing runner up, celebrating by doing a wheel stand down the straight. For Larry Ross it continues a career that also includes a World Team title at White City with great Ivan Mauger. NZ Sidecar Champs The first shock of a meeting full of them came in the opening heat when favourite John Hannan and Jason Wallis got a poor start, only managing third place behind Australian stars Gary Moon-Mick Ing and the Truuts brothers Sefton and Clint. Other wins in the opening round went to Nathan Ching-Dallas Kelman (Nelson), Craig Scott-Tony Hirini (Wanganui) and Palmerston North’s Russell Stuart-Andrew Parker who beat last years runner up Les Plummer and Kervin Demanser (Hawke’s Bay). Moon went to the top of the points after another win in the second round with Plummer a point behind along with Scott. Australian duo Joshua Sinnott-Hamish Golding showed the Aussies were there to race by winning as well. It all turned to custard for Moon in the third round when he lost control went wide, spun and rolled as he was hit by a following bike. The race was halted for a considerable time with Moon’s swinger Ing prone on the ground after a bike had rolled on top of him. He was eventually taken by ambulance to Palmerston North hospital. The Sinnott-Golding team put themselves in the battle for the title with a win while Stuart and Parker got back on track after a crash in the second round. Hannon and Wallis finally won a race, but a third and second previously left them needing results to go their way. Truuts, Ramsay, Stuart and Sinnott won the fourth round races tightening up the top with one race remaning. Points after 4 rounds: Plummer-Demanser 9, Stuart-Parker 9, Ramsay-Hislop 8, Sinnott-Golding 8, Hannon-Wallis 8. Stuart guaranteed himself a runoff at the least, winning the first race of the final round, but Plummer’s win meant a runoff for the title between the two. The same happened in the last heats with Ramsay grabbing a good win as did Sinnott. The runoffs were tight with Ramsay beating Sinnott at the start and holding on despite a major challenge from Sinnott. Stuart got the jump in the runoff for first but Plummer gradually wore him down and took the lead and the title on the second lap giving Plummer and Demanser their first title after numerous placings in their 24 years as a team.

    Flat Out!

    I'd say yes, easy changed here in NZ
  8. kiwi

    Kelvin Jelaca

    His father Len Jelaca also rode in NZ
  9. All the complainers, at what a crap squad, Jim Lynch has chosen and no one has mentioned any other rider to replace any of them.
  10. AJ wasn't going to go inside Gollob. Gollob ran a natural line, block AJ out of the picture for a moment,there was no sudden change of direction. AJ was there. Gollob's line was wide exiting the bend and naturally running in narrow entering the next bend. AJ ran the inside line exiting the bend and all the way up the straight was driving towards Gollob, IMO, probably with the intention to go outside him. Gollob looked saw AJ was getting closer and naturally wanted to enter the next bend in the quickest manner. i.e. the shortest distance. It was hard racing but it was an error of judgement on AJ's part, rather than Gollob putting someone out.
  11. Denis Hall New Zealand, He's english originally
  12. You got it right, Rode his individual world finals for England and tests up until mid 60's when became NZ'er rode for NZ from then on. (A bit like, as Millard would or still keeps on saying, the norwegian riding on a polish licence, like its something unusual)
  13. Talking to Jade last week, he will be riding.
  14. Just watched Sky coverage, I thought it was a great GP, but they need some new cameramen. The amount of times the leader was not in the shot. And coming into bend 1 on the second lap, time and time again there was a pass that was missed, that you had to what for the reply and hoped they showed it. And has Nicholls got a deal with Sky, why focus on him close up when he's in fourth place, when there's a good race developing 80m in front of him.

    Max Amor
