Not had a problem with the sound in previous years last night was in lower tier third/fourth bend and music was fine but couldn't hear a word the announcer was saying, was having to rely on the video screens for lineups etc.

Also noticed when the under 15s were racing there wasn't a single first aider/paramedic on the track! So when that young lad came off they all had to come running out of the pits.

Think the championship is Crump's to lose now. Great choice of gate in the final, think he knew gate 4 wasn't the best but if he let Gollob have it Gollob would have been a threat. So much for the great track, maybe smooth but how many passes did we have very few.

Went to Abensburg for Grand Prix Challenge years ago. Track hardly gets used, when we turned up for practise it had grass growing through it! Big track but completley flat and only one line round the inside.

Some confirmation on his Swedish clubs website : http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n...history_state0=

This isn't wind up apparently Nicki Pedersen broke a finger tonight having a tantrum in the pits.

As I said in other thread feel tiny bit sorry for Pedersen as think Emil was at fault BUT Pedersen is the grandmaster of doing the move you described, looking over when being pased then moving in on the rider to make contact then fall off, he has done it so many times.

That track is always going to cut up, they could lay it 6 months in advance and would still cut up if it wasn't ridden on regulary. Made me laugh when they said few weeks ago after the testing that it was fine. The reason it gets a lot worst then Copenhagen and Cardiff is due to the high speeds. Although I think if they got rid of practise it wouldn't have been so bad.

This time I have tiny bit of sympthany for Pedersen as think Emil was at fault. But what annoys me about Pedersen is that usually it his him on the outside that goes down after the slightest of touches has happened lots in the last 12 months including last GP. If it had been the other way round tonight he still would have been ranting and raving.

Can anyone help, which letter row is the front row in the lower tier?

I was just about to say that, I remember there being a trial last year and riders said it was fine. The problem will be it will get hammered on Friday during practise and that when the ruts will start to appear.

Reserves are already known Hougaard as 17 and Klindt as 18.

Yeah should be Iversen, won't be Gjedde he doesn't have the best relationship with the Danish managament.

Couple more weeks yet I think, they only announced Gothenburg last week. Reserves are known though, Hougaard and Klindt I think.

Isn't the Polish coverage on the equivalent of BBC or ITV though?

They only have to beat Slovenia at Peterborough to get to Leszno.

Problem is those two are our best 2, what are the rest going to do in World Cup in Leszno, could be lucky to get into double figures.

wins, seconds etc

Very strange, can only presume the referee was pressing the button and they didn't go up before Jonsson went through them

Did you want Walasek to go over the kerb and onto the grass then, he was riding right on the inside! Pedersen has done it loads of times, he cuts across the rider on the inside makes sure there is contact and if he does come off the rider on the inside usually gets excluded. Did it to Crump at Leszno last year and twice at Cardiff last year.

Thank God a referee has finally excluded Pedersen for his first bend tactics leaning across rider.

Do you want standing or seating? If you want standing don't bother booking them just buy them on the day, if seating then best to book them when the come available.

Track was far to slick as most of them are but you have to remember that just over 24 hours earlier they have practise which lasts couple of hours but I read somewhere the amount of laps the riders do equals about 3 meetings and the track takes a hammering, hard to sort that out in 24 hours, think they should scrap practise.

The studio has nothing to do with it, SKY have shown NASCAR and Speedway in HD in the past, in NASCAR all the races from Daytona were in HD. Think it's to do with money, think they have to pay lot more to the host broadcaster for the HD feed.
