Sandie Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Who are the two American riders for the Under 21,s this year?? seing as Neil Facchini won, and he is over age, does this mean the 3rd placed rider goes through, and if so where is it being held. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As I understand it, Neil will be riding as he was within the age group at the cut off date. Which has really upset this household. When Neil told Nikki he would be over for the meeting there was great excitment until we realised its on Wroclaw GP night. Guess where we will be!!! Still be able to catch up with him on the Sunday though we hope. Not sure about the others - TMG where are you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Well if you are right with your info, it must be the brothers Facchini, which is a shame in a way because we will not be seeing TJ. Fowler in 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) Born 4 Feb 1985 - so clearly not eligible As I understand it the AMA have not yet announced their seeds. As the QR takes place during the Dream Team tour I assume that the two riders will be from the Dream Team Tourists. As this includes runner-up Dale Facchini he must be a near cert. As for the other place I guess others are better qualified to speculate on who gets it. Edited February 8, 2007 by arnieg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 It was announced at the time that he wasn't eligible,i am sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Neil is not eligible in 2007 because he was already 21 at the turn of the year and will turn 22 this year. He was still eligible for the US Under 21 Championship because it was still 2006, his last year that he could compete in the Under 21 Championship. It was announced at the USA Speedway Awards Banquet on the Queen Mary a couple weeks ago that Dale Facchini will get one of the spots with the other spot yet to be determined.

Anyone else know anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandie Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) My apologies. I knew Neil was staying over for the Under 21's I just got a little confussed that it would be to support Dale!! A senior moment which I hope you will allow me to have!!! As for the meeting Gary - Its on the 12th at, as you say Rye Houe. Not very happy as we were hoping for the 13th. The 12th being the Wroclaw GP day and we will still be in Poland.
