Chris "I'm Rune Holta II" Harris felt the nudge and let it go. The right foot immediately was off the footrest and fractions later the hands let go. There was plenty of time and space to stay on the bike. On a different meeting and a different heat he would have stayed on and stuffed Nicholls on the next lap. Now there was no time... Good for Scotty to stay in the series!! And for someone asking about runoffs, read the rules... I bet Chris Louis hasn't.

BOOORING!!!! What happened to all the adventure...

Laukkanen is in...

Due to a small language barrier I have no idea how the lower leagues in Poland have developed this season. Am I correct that: - Gniezno was relegated... - Ljublin fighting against relegation vs. Daugavpils... - Why wasn't Nieminen in their team today... - Was Laukkanen sacked by Gniezno... The playoffs dont seem to end...

This thread is also close to it's last post's which will include the final reviews of Finnis riders.

Tero Aarnio to replace Jari Mäkinen...

Meetings between LF-Kauhajoki and Seinäjoki-LF were left out (never ridden) from the final table. These because of weather and in the end no time. more details to follow. No full results from the KC final yet. Well, it's only been a couple of weeks! How do you get yours? Everything by the minute? WOW!... rubbishe---

Thats nice to hear, I understand he likes the track there. I will see him tomorrow for a chat so this was good info...

Just to add to all I have said in this thread, I realised this due to being asked... Feel free to use any info such as stats from this thread. I've made them myself mostly and give them away over here (in Finland) as the truth. Comments here by me are by a fan, I do my "journalism" in a different language and with a different attitude so ask before using them and most certainly these need editing. EDIT: This thread has broken 8000 views, nice. Alltough I still cant understand how German News gets more interest! But it looks like Finnish News is gonna double the posts and triple it's views from last year.

Was I way of or what! Whats the trak like at IOW? Is it like Sheffield or closer to Edinburgh?

Kristiansen is the one name I remember Aarnio saying he can beat

Another meeting where Aarnio should be challenging for the win behind Hougaard. I have to admit though that I havent seen half of these riders, just judging by results I've seen.

Probably the voices in...

It's directly from the ACU/BSPA rulebook, copypasted to this thread and is a couple of pages before this one. Basically it depends on your riding history. If you've ridden in the Swedish Elitserien or Allsvenskan, Danish or Czech leagues you will be give an 8.00. Katajisto hadn't ridden in any of these, neither had Mäkinen. Aarnio had a history from both the Elitserien and Allsvenskan in Sweden. Mäkinen was given an eight because he's the Finnish U21 Champion.

Keskinen and Aarnio are at Isle of Wighth today? For an individual meeting. Then at Edinburgh and dont know about the rest. Kaj Laukkanen has been the man behind this meeting at Edinburgh. It's not an official test match and thats probably why it's been said it's a touring Finnish team.

This is from the David Nix meeting: Adam Roynon 15 Tero Aarnio 11 Simon Lambert 11Darren Mallett 11 Byron Bekker 10 Benji Compton 9 Jonathan Bethell 9 Mark Thompson 9 Joni Keskinen 8 Scott Richardson 7 Karl Mason 7 Martin Emerson 4 Ricky Scarboro 3 Nathan Irwin 3 Mark Richardson 2 Adam Lowe 1 Wayne Dunworth 0 Says Aarnio was comfortably in second when his chain snapped, in the last bend! Jari Mäkinen would be there already if it wasnt for the BSPA and their dodgy assessed average of 8.00 for him. He will be in Edinburgh and at Workington the next day. Aarnio has a similar assessed average (nothing dodgy there) and has been talking about going over to UK for a couple of years now. Now he's made it, hope something good come's out of it. He was gonna ride for Kings Lynn 2005? before his average was assessed. Everything was set before they realised he would come in on 8.00. We have a few of Katajisto standard or better...

It settled as the meeting progressed and was rideable during the finals. This from Kauko Nieminen. Jari Mäkinen hurt his knee after his second heat and withdrew himself from the meeting. He will be fine and fly's to UK next wednesday.

Interesting, didn't know Petteri Koivunen was gonna be there. Could be that he's on tour with Aarnio and Keskinen... There goes my dream of being #5 R/R of the team Might be true about the first time. I'm not coming... Maybe next season. I've been promised the full results from Haapajärvi next week... Kauko Nieminen won Seinäjoki speedway yesterday before Juha Hautamäki, Rene Lehtinen and Appe Mustonen. Full results on that later today.
