garf Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 heat 3 looks good - Chrzanowski, adams, hancock and rickardssson. not sure about gates tho <{POST_SNAPBACK}> On KB's homepage you can download a spreadsheet with the gate positions etc. for Krsko. Wroclaw and Eskilstuna will be on there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornishman Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 5 Lee Richardson (Great Britain) 6 Matej Zagar (Slovenia) 7 Jason Crump (Australia) 8 Tomasz Gollob (Poland) what a start for matej if he can get something here then hopefully that will push him on to qualify for the semis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subedei Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 (edited) How important is the draw? Well, how about previous draws and the semi-finalists that resulted? Wroclaw: 2, 4, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 15 made the semis. Eskilstuna: 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, 13 and 15 made the semis. As you can see, there are 6 matches in a comparison between Wroclaw and Eskilstuna. What do you think? Hampel, B Pedersen, Gollob, Adams, Sullivan and N Pedersen filling those places and all capable of reaching the semis.

Chivs Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 i think the draw is important Subedei, but only depending on the track conditions on the night. For instance in Sweden it was very noticeable that gate 3 was rubbish all night long, and in the first 4 races the 3 gate produced no points (including a last for Tony). I think the inside gates in the GP are the ones you want later in the qualifying races ie Number 2 gets gates 1 and 2 in their last two rides whereas rider 15 gets 4 and 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garf Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Heard some rumours about Jaroslaw Hampel not getting fit for the GP in Krsko. Anyone who can confirm that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Turner Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Heat 7 is Adams - N Pedersen - Crump - Nicholls <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do you think someone should tell Scott he needs to do a cutback on the first bend ?! And possibly the 3rd bend as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 And spare a thought for Greg Hancock in Ht 17. Andersen, Gollob, N Pedersen, Hancock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Turner Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Gate 3 is dreadful at Krsko usually, the others are fairly even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subedei Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Interesting. I'd say that TR and Crump, possibly N Pedersen and Adams are likely to make the semis, regardless of their draw. For Krsko, N Pedersen and Adams are filling berths in the six highlighted. All I'm saying is that if you add TR and Crump to Hampel, B Pedersen, Gollob, Adams, Sullivan and N Pedersen, you get a reasonable semi-final line-up.

Subedei Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 A further thought, both GP finals have been won from gate 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornishman Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 surely all of this doesnt mean too much though. anything can happen in each race, its impossible to guarantee anything.
