Elitserien 2013, Round 9, Tuesday July 2nd
mikec replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
Looks like we're in business on Prem Sports. :-) -
Been some excellent racing despite the wide scoreline, Kolodziej doing a fine job on Emil on the last bend in heat 14. I'm sure Emil will be back at his best for the World Cup. Gonna stick my neck out a bit here - Artem to complete his maximum now in heat 15, bold prediction i know. ;-) Haha my prediction was bold - but wrong!! That's why i don't get rich off the bookies lol. Enjoyable match as I said, look forward to my next Polish League "fix". :-)

I have a soft spot for the Russians too, someone to support when they're competing with the likes of Denmark, Poland & the Aussies - as Team GB (Woffy excepted) aren't on their level. Geez Artem dealt with Emil easily there - he is flying. In contrast MJJ not having his finest day, compared to yesterday from hero to zero!
-
I'm the same as you Alan regarding re the commentators in that I'm not too bothered, as long as I can see the racing I'm happy. Artem very impressive tonight, very quick in beating his brother there. Can't wait to see the Russians take on Holder, Ward & the Poles at Czestochowa in the World Cup - got a feeling that is gonna be really special, weather permitting of course. Too many out n out racers on show for it to be anything else.

Greg Hancock on Twitter after today:: Greg Hancockā@GregHancock45 Ok, I haven't been taken out of a heat in a lot of years! Can't even remember the last time! Broke that record today. I'll fix it 4 Next Sun Brilliant effort by ZG to get a draw with effectively a 3 man team - Hampel in particular impressive. Join you all tomorrow. :- )

I predict Piotr Pawlicki will be out on his spare bike in his next ride. ;-) Thought his bike was gonna catch light properly before that fireman turned up! Another great day for Przedpelski at Torun - a poor day for Hancock I believe though, removed from one of his programmed races? Totally agree, find myself feeling a bit sorry for him. He could do with getting his form back before the World Cup as Sweden will need him with all their injuries at the moment.

Must admit I quite like the white ZG race suits - though I also thought the green Czestochowa suits looked smart too. Don't think I've helped you much there Alan! Not sure Jonas Davidsson will be getting a rider replacement ride - he really struggles in ExtraLiga whenever I watch him. Large & noisy following from the Green Mountains - should make for a lively atmosphere there!

Parken Gp 2013

Ward was fantastic tonight - and less than 20 points off the top 8 now. If he stays fit I'd back him to qualify for next year's series as of right. Zagar & Holder entertaining & quick too. Solid result for Woffy, keeps him in touch with Emil. So now a break for the World Cup, wouldn't mind a ticket for the round at Czestochowa, should be amazing!! -
Parken Gp 2013

Got to love Eurosport voiceover boy - now doing hopeless gate pick predictions & explaining track conditions have changed after the track's been "wetted." On serious note, sad to hear Lindgren's broken his arm & broken shoulder/ribs for AJ - get well soon fellas!! -
I'm sorry to hear that Montie. Particularly loved watching Joe in the early 90's at Belle Vue & later on at Bradford - leg back, real stylist. Absolute respect for the guy, hope he stays around the sport, as the likes of Craig Cook & Richie Worrall would surely benefit from the input/experience of a guy like him i.e seen it/done it/got tshirt. Would have loved to have seen the mid 1990's Joe fly round the current Scunny track!

9+2 from 6 rides

Pulled up in heat 15, he looked in a lot of discomfort prior to the race - although he'd also been out in heats 13 & 14 too. Three heats back to back was asking a lot with the injury.

Racing today in Wroclaw, then tomorrow at Wolves - then rest the injury til Copenhagen. He just confirmed it in interview on Polish tv.
