Good first meeting.Young Robert Medson was a bit unlucky not to get through.Had a couple of heats to get used to everything and started to get better as the meeting went on.Dennis Andersson was the best non-Danish rider.Looked pretty fast.

In the second quali the young Danes dominated,but the sensation for me was the youngster from Down under.If it wasn't for an e.f in his second heat while leading Michael Vissing he would have had 13 points and been in the Final.Fantastic,especially if this is the first time he has been on an 80cc bike.If he carries on like this he should make the final.Very fast from the gate.LiGlad looks pretty fast though.Only one fall spoilt his afternoon

Thanks Iris.

 

I wouldnt mind if you took some more pics of Liglad, he is just awesome.

 

Tack!

I take loads of pictures,but only put a few on webshots :D

Have to agree,yesterday he looked very good.But at Outrup in the DM semi's he was all over the place and failed to qualify.Very exciting,but a bit wreckless.The same yesterday against Vissing he came from behind,then went way too fast into the bend and ......POW! :( Was expecting more from Rosén,but like i said Dennis Andersson looks like he could stop a Danish white-wash.As does Sam Masters on yesterdays form.Look forward to tomorrow,then we will start to see who are the real contenders

Any news of the other Aussies? Particularly Queensland Champion Darcy Ward, quite possibly the pick of the Aussies that went over (he replaced Taylor Poole) but would of qualified anyway had he not had bad luck during the Aussie Under 16 Final.

All i know is that all the Danish riders have qualified.Not easy to get info from these meetings,especially as the DMU site is down.Maybe a Swedish site has more info?.I will find out only when i get there later.Should post the semi-final resuls around 24:00 :(

any idea how Katajisto did in the 3rd quali. He was out for a month after a road accident, but came back two weeks ago.

 

He's regarded a the best prospect in Finland that still is in 80c. And will be for a year or two.

Spoke to Darcy's father and he said Dary was looking good in second place in the final but fell.Seems like he will be putting in an appearance at King's Lynn on a 250cc bike as well :D

Well i said a few weeks back that René Bach was my tip for the championship and he is looking good.The thing is,if LiGlad is in the Final,anything can happen.He is just red-hot.3 times today he was in 3rd place and came through to win,even in the A-final against the top guys :oAnother fall though while in last place . Not sure the reason but Henrik Karlsson didn't ride today.His place was taken by Ted Hagansbo.Unfortunately Ted had a nasty fall and was taken to hospital with what looked like a leg/foot injury :(

Thanks for the update and the great pics Doug.

 

We from Slangerup have all fingers crossed for our litle outsider hero Phillp Tirsdal who has done extremely well so far. Phillip is 13.

 

We tried to get dispensation for our best 80cc rider ( the 2003 50cc champ ) Mikkel Michelsen, but Mikkel isn´t 12 before in august and according to the FIM rules you have to be 12 on the day qualification starts.

 

My own Simon ( 2005 50cc champ ) is wont be old enough before 2008, just hope it is not thereabouts the whole system changes to 250cc.

 

Hope you enjoy the racing in Skærbæk, the weather in DK is just fantastic these days.

 

See you

Peter S.

 

PS: agreed, it is very well done by the two Australians, very impressive.

Have to feel sorry for René Bach.Twice he was leading in the final,only for someone to fall.First LiGlad came hard underneath him and fell.Then Michael Palm Toft fell in the re-start.In the second re-start Mellgren hit the front and Bach came hard(a bit unfair perhaps :unsure: ),they both wobbled and Toft capitalized.René tried hard to catch him but couldn't quite do it.At the end Mellgren seemed happy enough doing donuts,but Bach and LiGlad(not a favourite with the crowd) were devestated.

Darcy....well just didn't go for him today.Sam went well and in his last heat needed a win.Gave it his all on the last bend,came hard under Steffen Andersen,fell.Andersens bike packed up.Quick as a flash he jumped off and pushed for home.Sam got up started his bike up and raced to the line.He thought he had won,as did the crowd,but the ref thought otherwise.

He was interviewed during the meeting and said he prefered the set-up in Denmark.The bigger tracks,he said he could really get up some speed.The Aussie boys had the crowd with them today.Everyone i think appreciated their acheivement :D
