5th round of the Finnish league was battled on yesterday. The Daugavpils team managed to arrive after two no-shows this time, but that's not all. They came with three riders and a manager, without any documents of current insurances aka licenses. They were unable to produce the required documents, and it seems likely they weren't willing to pay the 95 € per individual onoff license since they did not ride. So Toni Stenberg rode alone for the Latvian team.

 

The meeting was closely fought between LeijonaHaukat and Keittiöpiste. They were tied going in to the 4 round, and the meeting was won by LeijonaHaukat in heat 18 when Tomi Reima beat Juha Hautamäki.

 

Official results later when I get my hands on them.

 

A norwegian rider was supposed to lineup for the LeijonaHaukat, but had to withdraw when it was made clear to him that one can't ride in another country's 1st league if you ride in the norwegian lower league. Apparently a LONG ban would have waited for him.

The Individual Finnish Championship will be contested next saturday 1st of July at Seinäjoki. Eight riders have been seeded straight in to the final on saturday:

 

Juha Hautamäki KMMK

Kaj Laukkanen SeMK

Tero Aarnio KMMK

Juha Mäkelä KMMK

Joni Keskinen SeMK

Rene Lehtinen SeMK

Kauko Nieminen SeMK

Joonas Kylmäkorpi VRT

(participation depends on the state of his collarbone injury)

 

24 riders in total wanted to ride, so there's a qualifier on friday the 30th of June at the same track. Riders in it are:

 

1. Jari Mäkinen PirMM (not riding)

2. Jani Eerikäinen KarMK

3. Pekka Valo SeMK

4. Jan-Erik Korkeamäki KauhjMK

5. Teemu Lehti KMMK (not riding, fell last tuesday, length of injury confirmed next wednesday)

6. Juho Ruuska HjMK

7. Janne Nyman FMS

8. Aarni Heikkilä FMS

9. Aki-Pekka Mustonen VRT

10. Kalle Kivistö SsMK

11. Petri Koskela PMK

12. Marko Suojanen PMK

13. Petteri Koivunen SeMK

14. Mikko Koskinen SeMK

15. Toni Stenberg KMMK

16. Markku Autio KauhjMK

 

Jyri Palomäki is absent because of foot injury, and Tomi Reima apparently hasn't enrolled because of official selection.

 

Mikko Mäki-Hakola has been appointed as the referee of the meeting. He's the least popular ref in the sport, and numerous attempts have been made along the years by the riders to have his license revoked. A few riders even took this case to highest of the highest level after last season. And the result, MMH is the top dog at the pinnacle meeting of our finnish season 2006.

 

What to expect? Numerous burned out clutch plates and more tape's exclusion's then there's been so far this season. The tapes are gonna be held looong...

Kaj Laukkanen is the Finnish Champion of 2006!

 

Éverything went as "planned" until exiting the first bend of the final. Laukkanen pushed Nieminen a bit wide which allowed Hautamäki to almost pass both of them. Laukkanen entered the 2nd bend first as Nieminen decided for an all or nothing move from the outside of Hautamäki. It didn't work as Mäkelä got pass Nieminen as well. Nieminen simply walked pass Mäkelä on lap 2 but he never got close enough to Hautamäki to make a move.

 

Happiest of the riders were probably Mäkelä and Hautamäki. Kake was VERY disappointed and this wasn't the first for Laukkanen, in fact it was his 8th finnish title.

Daugavpils Speedway Centre has been excluded from the finnish league due to their continuing breaking of the rules. New calendar for the remainder of the season is:

EDIT: Here's heat 8 from this meeting. Poor quality, I know... Tero Aarnio/red, Emil Lindqvist/blue, Jani Eerikäinen/white and Jari Mäkinen/yellow.

 

That's me getting a bit excited in the end... Mäkinen had a clutch problem all meeting, something they have never experienced and were unable to discover.

Marius Rökeberg became the Nordic Champion for longtrack at Forssa late saturday evening. He beat Markes Helin and Kenneth Borgenhaug for the middle place at the podium.

 

Janne Koivula eventually woke up for the meeting after winning the B-final after intense lap and a half battle with Rene Lehtinen before his fuel line broke. In the a-final Koivula entered the first bend side by side with Rökeberg, but had a puncture before the backstraight. He kept it together until the end and finished 4th.

 

Two bad crashes were witnessed this time. The other one escaped me, but in it were involved Anssi Lehtinen and Markku Weckman. Weckman suffered some broken ribs and a broken collarbone. The other incident saw Jan-Eric Korkeamäki hit the back wheel of his fellow rider entering turn 3. Just seconds earlier I heard myself saying where's he got that speed... Anyway he hit the back wheel and was tossed over the handlebars like a wet rag. To give you an impression of the impact, there were police taking speeds with the radar. Top guy's were going 160+ km/ into the 1st bend which is significantly tighter than the second. Korkeamäki told me he felt a bit sore and his knee was giving him pain. No rubbish..!Everyone was certain he'd be out for months!

 

Joonas Kylmäkorpi had a nightmare. His own bikes were useless to start with and he ended up bending the frame and the front end of it. Then on barrowed machinery a brand new GM engine blew up after two laps in practise. In his heats he was fast like the wind for two laps twice before the drivebelt collapsed both times. For his third heat he had Helin's bike which gave him 2 points. He then called it a day and left for the airport. Had a good chat with him, he's on his way back!

 

Heat by heat:

9. R.Lehtinen, Koivula, Tjessem, Juntunen, Kylmäkorpi R, A.Lehtinen F 89,69

15. Helin, Mortensen, Nieminen, Korkeamäki, A.Lehtinen, Kylmäkorpi R 91,15

17. Rahko, Juntunen, Korkeamäki, Suutari, R. Lehtinen R, M.Helin R 90,94

B-Finaali: Koivula, Suutari, Tjessem, Rahko, Mortensen, R.Lehtinen R 92,01

A-Finaali: Rökeberg, Helin, Borgenhaug, Koivula, Leppämäki, Gerdemann 91,22

 

I can say with some certainty that these times are accurate. Saw the photo finish pics myself. Pilvenmäki at Forssa is mainly a horse racing track and hosted the biggest finnish event of it's kind only three weeks ago. Thats why times were slower 2-3 seconds than normal, because there was some new softer material (one that feels better for the horses feet) on top of the old harder layer.

 

Borgenhaug went 89,62 in heat 18 which makes it 120,52 km/h avg. speed. And like I said they were going 160+ km/h into turn 1 on laps 2 and 3.

 

EDIT 3: Better take one more JD to wind myself down and prepare for some sleep...

It seems that the whole season has been a nightmare for Joonas!

 

But when he has been fit, he has looked real good.

 

If he can stay clear of injuries, I reckon he will have a great year in 2007.

By the way - your reports from Finland are much appreciated, f-s-p!

I havent yet heard the interview I taped, we talked about the GP and he felt bad about missing the qualifier. Dont know what happened with his own bikes, they might have been bent/broken/similar to start with.

 

Thank you very much for those kind words. I get a lot of info from here, so I try to give something back when I can.

Kalle Katajisto remains as the Finnish U16 80cc Champion for the third year running. After the disappointment at the YGT and other international meetings he was crowned as the Finnish Champion last saturday. A traffic accident in early June sidelined him for a few weeks, and he's not recovered his form until now that the season has almost finished. He still has one year to go in the 80cc, and he plans to do it in the smaller bikes.

 

The series were run on three different weekend's.

Last two rounds of the finnish league are coming next weekend. Riders like Kim Jansson, Robert Erikkson, Patrik Järnstam, Emil Lindqvist, Kaj Laukkanen, Tomi Reima, Juha Mäkelä, Kenny Olsson, Jari Mäkinen, Tero Aarnio and possibly Jyri Palomäki are all ready to fight for their teams for the league championship.

 

Some really good racing expected, weather seem's to be on our side.

 

Think it's ok now to say that Tony Rickardsson and Peter Karlsson were seriously in talk's to ride for LeijonaHaukat in these last two rounds. Dont know about PK but Tony rode here in the start of his career, like many other Swedes: Stefan Dannö, Jimmy Nilsen, Jonas Davidsson (he's a finnish U21 champion), Anders Michanek...

[f-s-p]

The track and trackstaff were a bit of a letdown, but some good racing was witnessed at Hyvinkää today. Kim Jansson was the first rider to beat Robert Eriksson in the league this season, and showed class all day. Kaj Laukkanen fell while leading in his 4th ride, as did Marko Suojanen a heat earlier while 2nd.

 

Best fight was in heat 18 when Eriksson rode Jansson off the line exiting first bend. Jansson fought hard, and was ready to pass Eriksson on turn 1-2 on the last lap, but got the shower off Eriksson's bike and fell entering turn 1.
