[Pete]

Why is Jonas Davidsson the wild card? Give the young riders experience yadda yadda yadda but surely if you are going down that route Lindgren would have been a better choice seeing as he has just represented Sweden in the SWC.

 

Personally I would have given it to Peter Karlsson who has been on very good form and would certainly be able to mix it on the Swedish tracks.

 

Pete - now waiting for Davidsson to reach the final.....

[Grachan]

Jonas D is probably been named as Wild card for winning the Swedish Under-21 final ahead of Lindgren and Lindback. Oh yes, he's quite a hot prospect in Sweden is our Jonas.

[Pete]

Didn't realise he was Swedish U21 champion, I think that's fair enough then and I expect lashings of Humble Pie my way when he steps onto that top step on Saturday.

Come on you Swedes, show your opponents some BACKSIDE!!!

[Steve Turner]

Statistically...Jonas Davidsson has the best draw...Tony Rickardsson has the worst !

 

edit...Jonas did pretty well...and TRick had his worst GP !

[garf]

The usual GP spreadsheet is on KB's homepage as well, included the last draw.

Great start from Lee!

[SCB]

Lee Richardson disproves the gating tart theory and Scott Nicholls does his usual trick of going wide in the 1st and second bend when it's clearly not the fastest way!! Was he not watching heat 1?

[SCB]

Thats twice this season that refer has messed up the start!

[pirate paul]

And yet again he messes up a perfecly good race That was completely Gollobs own fault. I'm not Nickis biggest fan I'll admit but that was no way his fault. Pathetic refereeing again!

[home straight]

I'm certainly no NP fan, but he has been very hard done by twice in one race there, disgraceful refereeing.

You're not wrong. Surprise, surprise Sam E once again holds the grudge and devalues his integrity. Why should anybody have respect for Sammy.

Eromlenko makes himself look more and more foolish everytime he mentions Nicki's name.

 

Even Tatum who is normally a Nicki basher could see what happened there.

[pirate paul]

The thing is bloody Sam changed his mind after listening to Louis! At least Tatum is talking sense. Like I said I don't like Nicki that much but that was just totally biased refereeing, and its not the first time. The bloke should not be allowed to take charge of FIM meetings.

Totally agree with both of these.

 

I seldom have sympathy with Nicki Pedersen, but that was totally unfair. Minimal contact (if any) and Gollob just got filled in and dropped it.

 

I feel sorry for the bloke, his reputation has preceeded him once again, and although some would say what goes around comes around, I believe that ALL refereeing decisions should be made objectively.

 

Regardless of nationality.

[Steve Turner]

First race I've seen where two riders attempted to hit each other on every bend, and missed every time !

 

Congratulations ?! Antonio and Hans

 

 

 

home straight !!

[pirate paul]

Fantastic ride by Scotty! Shame about Bjarne though, Steve, can I change my competition riders?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

But wasn't it great? WOW, what a race, they both tried to kill each other and as long as they didn't it was good
