MARK246

To be dismissive of other nations riders is deluded. This season, Woffinden in the Swedish leauge has scored 5 points from 10 rides in three meetings. The only opposition rider he has beaten is Linus Sundström. With form like that the Danish round looks the easiest

IMO a good meeting as a neutral, the young Poles team riding was a pleasure to watch. Heat 8 when Kacper Gomolski overtook Nicholls, then team rode with Jablonski for another 5-1 over the ex GP rider was especially good.

Can I change to Zetterstrom please

On the /www.speedway.org/ site they have the French riders listed as R. di Biasi, X. Muratet and A. Ellis.

Does anybody know why Hefenbrock didn't ride for Germany ? He rode Gustrow on saturday and outscored Barker in the International Pfingstpokal.

Good to see Zetterstrom in the final, the qualification process does work. Shame the free entry choices are still so poor

Puma23 the Grasbahn Chronik is a book, which is sold by a German, Dirk Riemann. If you want any information on contacting Dirk I will pm it to you

Not sure if it was the first but 1978 in Hereford results were 1 Chris Baybutt GB 30 2 Franz Kolbeck D 24 3 Don Godden GB 23 4 Trevor Banks GB 19 The result in full is in Grasbahn Chronik

That quote is incorrect, Joe Haines the British under 21 Champion rode and qualified for the semi final.

The 5 Qualifying rounds have been compleated. The 2 Semi Finals are in Krsko and Landshut, each of these meetings have a Wildcard space, which should be taken by a Slovakian and a German rider respectively.So unless Bridger is offered one of the wildcard spaces he is out of the Championship

The Gdansk meeting is 16,00 British time sorry

The updates for Gdansk at 17,00 are here http://live.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel3.htm

Hyvin tehty Suomessa ansaittu top 8 paikalla

Still no.3 Sayfutinov for me please.

Magnus Zetterström said on his facebook, practice went well, slick track tomorrow so I've adjusted the bikes to suit the track.

2. Gollob £50,000 3. Sayfutinov (captain) £50,000 7. Holta £35,000 11. Zetterström £25,000 13. Hampel £25,000 Total £185,000 Thanks

Good weekend all round, the Finns had everything organised really well, but the -17 on Sunday felt cold after the mild start to the winter in Sweden. It always feels good to get the first ride of the season under the belt, all the new parts worked so I'm happy. I'm hoping to ride Berlin this season, watch this space. I don't know what I've done to upset f-s-p and be missed off the result list

I was there 1,1,1.1,2. 6

Thanks Ian, I will be trying to ride wherever possible, as always. I'm heading off to Finland this weekend for training in Rovaniemi. I hope the weather stays cold, 1,200 km's for a washout is no joke.

I know

So if I wasn't selected I'm not an anorak thats good to know, thanks

I've never really understood these 'veiwing' figures, when I was a resident in the Uk and had Sky tv no one asked me what I watched. How do they arrive at these figures? I know the music singles chart at one time was, three London record shop's sales, but how do Sky work out their numbers? IMO your about 5,000 to many with active supporters.

They fulfill the criteria. They're both British and own a speedway bike the only qualification needed, presumably.

Woffinden and Lindbäck were both eliminated at the Motala Semi Final. Woffinden scored 5 points, Lindbäck scored 7, with all the statistics neither will do much at GP level. But on nationality Woffinden choose a winner, if he would have stayed an Aussie he would need to wait till Crump retired. Now he can guarantee the same 4 years as Harris regardless of results.

At least it's not Kennett
