Australian Swc Team For Rd 1 Named

[Guest CR500 Dude]

Australia named their line-up for the Speedway Wold Cup Rd1 meeting with Sweden, Poland & Germany to be held at the Eskilstuna track in Sweden on August 2.

Jason Crump, Leigh Adams and Ryan Sullivan, Steve Johnston, Davey Watt. well done Dave on your selection

[AndyM]

Predictable!

[iris123]

Well,should see them safely in third place

[Rob B]

Definatly agree with Davey Watt but not Steve Johnston, he is riding poor.

[Cornishman]

who in his place though?

 

 

 

 

very predictable line up, but the right one, unlike team GB's

[superjoe]

I would have put adam shields in instead of steve johnston. Nothing against johno but he is not doing well at the moment. The future does not look good for aussie speedway.

Talking about the future what do people think that countrys teams will be in 5 or 6 years.

 

Aussies

Crumpy

Watson

Watt

Shields

Schlein

 

England

Nicholls

Richardson

Harris

Stead

Kenentt

 

All countries would be welcomed to see where the future is coming from

[KevH]

Travis McGowan will be a mainstay in the Aussie team in 5-6 years time, not sure about Watson though.

I hope you're right, would love to see him do just that, will always have a soft spot for him, Lynn being his first ever british team

[SCB]

Why will Travis be a mainstay yet Wato won't? AFAIK, Travis is about 3 years younger and has not improved since his second season (actually 2000 was his best season over here!). I can't see him being a regular, mind you, I don't know who will be. Crump, Shields, Watt, Schlein, Bathelor, Trav may get a chance.

 

Personally, I think Trav should drop into the PL, I've always been a fan of his (remember feeling sorry for him in hsi first Sky meeting ) and he was brilliant at Newport on Sunday.

Cant see that to be honest unless they dont have anyone better

I guess you missed the Sky match on TV last night then SCB?

[Subedei]

The Poles in 5 years time? Well, it could look like this:

 

J Kolodziej

M Rempala

K Kasprzak

R Miskowiak

P Hlib

 

And, you never know, at 39 TG might still be going strong (as might Leigh Adams for the Australians).

[KevH]

I think you can add Karol Zabik to that list Subedei.

[Subedei]

I think you can add Karol Zabik to that list Subedei.

 

I knew I'd missed someone obvious.

And God alone knows how many other good young riders the Poles will have found in the next 5 years.

[iris123]

Are you saying that in 5 years time Hampel won't be reaching his peak,but will be past it

[Subedei]

Okay, so I missed 2 obvious choices.

Dear me, the Poles should be looking awfully strong in 2010.

[iris123]

Agreed.Frightening from our point of view.Can't see us getting anywhere near them,Denmark and Sweden in the near future.Would love to see an old fashioned test match between Poland and Denmark or Sweden

[smiles]

Will it be Shields that replaces Watt, going back to the original title not the topic i changed it to(Why has nobody named GB team in 5 years
