Hampel is stitched on for a pick, if Jonsson narrowly misses out on a top eight place then that would/should put him in front of Lindback.
-
Don`t read things into posts that aren't there, we already have one that does, Jorgensen was representing Berwick Speedway so you`d think that would interest the promotion/manager who I am sure were there to support and advise their rider. Read my previous posts, I think you`ll find they are supportive of Jorgensen`s opportunity to ride in yesterday`s meeting. See the post before the poster.

Premier League 4's

Dogs, we could be looking for a track with no dog racing, there must be one out there. Rumours are of a Saturday night re-staging. -

With so many events taking place at the stadium, free Saturday nights may be an issue. What we need is a stadium that is free of other events, except for the odd football match that would not interfere with a Saturday nights racing, there must be one out there some where. -
Nicholls rides in Poland on what you would guess is a reasonably lucrative contract, which would mean him potentially missing the odd Sunday meeting.
-
If he`d narrowly missed out on qualification then fair enough, but he finished well down the field. With Sayfudinov currently refusing a GP return, and the current situation Darcy Ward finds himself in means there might be an extra wild card spot or two up for grabs, right now that's Lindback`s only hope.
-
And they won it on Danish soil which I`m sure made it all the sweeter, though at individual level Sweden are poor. Jonsson currently outside the top eight, and there`s hardly a Swedish rider deserving of a wild card pick, especially giving the performance of Lindback in Saturday`s GP Challenge.

Rye House are running meetings right through September and into October, with the potential for more fixtures should they make the KOC Final. Much better to use a track who`s season is over already, there must be one out there. -
Premier League Riders Championship - Sheffield 6th Sep
screm replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Yes its true, and a bit shabby IMO. http://ryehouserockets.co/news.php?extend.1122 This confirms that Kennett only had one bike to use at Sheffield having had machinery problems at Berwick the night before. -

What they might be looking for is a Saturday night track that has held big meetings in the past, and is free on a Saturday night from now till the end of the season. -
Maybe the decision could've been taken out of Jorgensen`s hands by the team manager or promotion, but like I posted earlier Jorgensen deserved his chance.
-
And it will say that in the record books will it, if that were the case it would be full of would've could've should`ve, for virtually every PLRC down through the years. Cook is as good as there is at PL level, what he`s like as a person I wouldn't know but he does the business on track and that is what counts most, but it would appear some fans (Berwick in particular) either don't see it or don't want to see it.
-
Going by our great fountain of knowledge that puts Ivan Mauger with the boys and not the men. Most if not all of the top riders, from Mauger to Rickardsson from Nielsen to Hancock, have made mistakes in big races, its part of racing.
-
As long as he scores the points he can greet as much as he wants, agree about moving to the next level, he needs to move EL full time and pick up contracts abroad. He signed for Stal Gorzow in Poland but hasn't been used, and when you see the riders he is competing with you can understand why, maybe he would be better looking at one of the lower leagues in Poland and get a regular place in the team each Sunday, where even there the standard in at least as good and possibly better than our PL but from what Cook has said he will double up again next year.
-
There`s not a team out there that wouldn't have Cook in their team, he has proved himself as one of the best riders in the PL. Ok he has an opinion, and sometimes that opinion is mis-judged but what he does on track seems good enough to me.

What a waste of a thread, of all the forums in all the World, and you have to come onto this one.

Premier League Riders Championship - Sheffield 6th Sep
screm replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Both rider crashed on virtually the same bit of track, Bowen left the track by ambulance as was withdrawn from the meeting, Maasen walked back to the pits after treatment and was able to continue in the meeting. Hope both riders are back very soon. -
Your probably right though after the season Jorgensen has had with Berwick it would be difficult to deny him the chance in a meeting like the PLRC.

Premier League Riders Championship - Sheffield 6th Sep
screm replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I agree with you, the rider with the most points at the end of Ht20 should be the Champ,its the same with the PL the team that finishes top with the most points should win the league, but under the we have now rules its all about the Final, and Ostergaard won it so credit to him. -

He scored 12pts in the qualifying heats, that saw he seeded through to the Final. He then won the Final. Dont worry you`ll get there, its a speedway thing.
