f-s-p

Nothing wrong with Udine, but the track shape is crap, so why?

When Kolodziej was in the GP before, think it was the first one of the season when he flew over the backstraight fence at Leszno and was fighting his way back pretty much all season after that... Like someone said, you qualify and thats it, Congratulations. still, if the track was rubbish with no passing, evertyhing is not well. And Milik didnt qualify, thats a bummer.

Probably not enough yet but pretty impressive still

I’m told the U21 round at Leszno had 5 docs. Thats being prepared. Over here with that money you pay for the whole meeting to get organised.

Sweden has had quali rounds, and did this year as well. The problem is that only 150 people are interested to pay 12 euros to enter while the prize money is twice or triple that.

Yes they take the track that is willing to host it and pay the prize money. And please note you can't blame BSI in this.

Mika Laukkanen FI is the ref.

Wonder what the fine will be as they forced Aarnio to ride solo at the other one... wouldnt allow a withdrawl

Saw a paper that said 17 entrants, two semis with 2 each through with PZM, MFR and DMU seeded to the final.

No.

Yeah well see you at the bottom in a few years, You’re crashing way faster and higher than we are! Only thing left to wonder is if GB or Sweden manage to finish before we do.

thanks. But you know I want the Polish full version! Pawel R was the commentator and I'm told they spent the whole long break talking about Finnish speedway... Not that I'd understand, but I have a friend or two that might.

Mand I thought it was the one I could watch again, again and again. Also did not find SoN from bV

JTR is a homologated tyre atleast for a second season now. They might be making wheels as well, not sure.

It’s a Cup, not a championship. Niklas Säyriö apparently got the wild card according to a starting list published today.

Wow! over here we need 1 ambulance and a doctor. If a hospital is closer than 10km no doctor is needed at the track. This because the ambulance crew is mandatory to have been trained to a degree (cant remember or explain in english) and if something happens they are in direct contact over phone to a doctor who then can allow stronger medication. As for fire, think it’ s three exthinguishers inside the track and 1 or two in the pits. A doctor cost about 150€ an hour and ambulance between 110-150€ an hour. Ambulance includes 2 nurses (of the mentioned standard).

Pics in twitter suggest that the crowd is good and plenty!

I could allow the fastest in practise to choose his riding number, but not each gate. Sounds daft. EDIT: also the fastest of friday rarely is the fastest come saturday night.

Bla Krogen does both but wont fit enough people.... lol Bottom line is I hope for Micke’s sake that it turns out good for the club. Havent visited the track while it’s been developed. But with the rain during last years SEC I hope this is all good.

But it’s been sold out for months so who really cares. If people stay home then thats naturally no good tv but other than that it’ll be good I hope.

Timi and Henri as requested

Not many, what else there is to say. I hope Ahlbom and Säyriö have a few battles with opponents and like the program says, Timi and Toni are very young. So with Pawel spanking them a bit I hope they improve as the meeting goes on and move on in one piece.

I watched the first half of the meeting, was pretty good. Couple of crashes by riders that clearly were cautious (as in not in full control, not comfy) on their bikes... So makes me a bit sad that we dont have anyone in it, even close. Bewley needs to gate. I saw him last year in Pardubice and was really surprised how good he was as a brit on the airfield that Pardubice is. Now Bewley has been making LT gearboxes forever, is there a connection?

1) Henri Ahlbom Born April 21st 1997, Forssa FI The oldest rider of the Finnish team is also currently the fastest according to results in Finnish speedway this season. Has also started in long track racing this season and was close to winning the world championship qualifier in Marianzke Lazne earlier this season had it not been a technical failure whilst leading his last heat.

Son of the former ice racing international Jari Ahlbom was also a medalist last winter in the Finnish iceroadracing championship. 2) Niklas Säyriö Born October 3rd 1999, Jaala FI Silver medalist in last years Finnish U21 final and the most succesful Finnish rider to date in 250cc speedway.
