Elit Vetlanda (away) 54

1. Jason Crump 2-3-3-3-3 = 14 (5)

2. Adam Skornicki 1*-1-1-2*-1* = 6+3 (5)

3. Jaroslaw Hampel 3-2-3-0-2 = 10 (5)

4. Lee Richardson 1-1-1*-0 = 3+1 (4)

5. Rune Holta 3-2-3-3-3 = 14 (5)

6. Tobias Johansson 1-0-N-1* = 2+1 (3)

7. Thomas H Jonasson 3-0-0-1-2 = 6 (5)

8. Robin Aspegren

 

It was still tied after 8 heats, 24-24, but in the second half of the meeting, Elit Vetlanda were the stronger team.

 

A double victory by Hampel/Skornicki against Walasek/Sullivan in heat twelve gave the away team a 40-32 lead and when Jason Crump spoiled Piraterna's tactiacal substitution in heat 13, Piraterna looked beaten. Hampel/Skornicki secured the win by grabbing the minor positions behind winning Sullivan in heat fifteen.

 

For Piraterna,

Max wasn't good, started slow and never got going. Bjerre was the pick of the day for the home side, took his points both from the gate (against Crump in heat 1) or from the back (against Hampel and Richardson in heat 7). Andersson looked slow and was surely suffering from his injury. Walasek tried hard throughout the night and was always in the thick of the action. Sullivan made too little too late. Szczepaniak was very useful at reserve, beat Richardson among others things. Ingesson wasn't particully close to a point, but certainly not way off either.

 

For Elit Vetlanda,

Crump looked extremely fast all night and won most points from the gate. Skornicki was very good as a second string and a match winning rider for Elit Vetlanda, he beat (at least) one opponent in each heat and that's a job well done. Hampel was good, but nothing spectactular. Richardson had an awful score but wasn't as bad as the score suggest, he just got stuck in some strange situations due to lack of gating. Holta was excellent, simple as that sometimes. Johansson did his job and made better gates than in the previous meetings, some improvement. Jonasson did OK, six points as a junior is really good enough but one might have expected more around the Motala track.

 

Man of the match: Adam Skornicki

 

Most exciting rider: None in particular, but Bjerre is always worth the admission money...

Notice that Henka & Simon are 6&7 for Kumla so will be riding as a pair. This will make Henka very happy I'm sure, I remember him telling me a few years ago that he would continue riding until he had spent some time riding with Simon.....I'm not suggesting that he will retire in anyway, just a passing comment he made

[Trees]

Buster will just HAVE to get Simon over to Lynn so we can compare him to his Dad LOL ................ now that would be mean haha
