Liverstam Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 This event is so watered down it's unbelievable. No one really seems to care who wins, least of all the riders! However the junior title is always a great event with young guns really wanting to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superguest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I can tell you Freddie DOES take this meeting very seriously. At the start of the season he aimed to be the top Swedish rider. I wasnt sure if he would beable to compete with AJ and Antonio but he has really matured and is so much more consistant, where as the others have been hit by injures and lack of meetings. It'll be a tough meeting as I think AJ will be up for this, but good luck Freddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anders Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 However the junior title is always a great event with young guns really wanting to win. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Couldn't agree more. Both in 2005 (Vetlanda) and 2006 (Motala), the Junior Final has been one of the best meetings I've seen during each season, and by far the best of the three meetings in the championship weekend. Many riders can win the Junior Final but based on Billy Forsberg's impressive display in Kumla yesterday (Indianerna - Västervik league meeting), he must be considered a favourite for the title. Ricky Kling, Thomas H Jonasson and Simon Gustafsson will battle for the other places on the podium. Can't wait for Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for Friday! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agree, the juniorfinal last year was a great competition, it was plenty of good racing with many tight heats. I am pretty sure this year will be even better, especially when there is noone can say who is going to win. Last year it was just a question of Lindback or Lindgren. This year, THJ, Ludvig Lindgren, Billy Forsberg, Simon Gustafsson, Ricky Kling are all candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonasson last night who among others beat Scotty Nicholls. Not sure how he usually fares around Sannahed though but I'm sure he can give Forsberg a run for his money. Never realised how tiny he is close up before either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnset Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I have been looking this morning at the results from the swedish meetings last night. Fred and PK both got 15 last night Jonas was in double figures. I can't believe that they don't want to win this, seems very strange to me. Anyway if any of you Swedes are going i hope it's a good meeting for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Babe619 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'm going to all 3 meetings. Hope that Fredrik can win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never realised how tiny he is close up before either! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thomas didn't have a particulary good meeting in Kumla, scoring 3 points, X-0-0-2-1, in five rides. But he looked reasonably fast througout the meeting but didn't make a gate all night which normally is his strong point, as you witnessed in Stockholm.

youngy105 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Just want to wish Billy Forsberg good luck in these meetings. Billy rode real well for Belle Vue last night scoring 14+1 from 6 rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverstam Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) Why are Billy Forsberg and Simon Gustafsson riding in both meetings? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because they have qualified. Edited August 31, 2007 by Liverstam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Why are Billy Forsberg and Simon Gustafsson riding in both meetings? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The final on Friday night is the Swedish Junior Championship Final. The final on Saturday afternoon is the Swedish Championship Final (regardless of age). They have, alongside Thomas H Jonasson, qualified for both finals. Nothing strange, just as Kennett, Bridger, King etc. rode in the British Final at Monmore Green despite being juniors (as well as they rode in the Junior Final in Eastbourne).

Never realised how tiny he is close up before either! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought the senior meeting was better than the under 21 last year. Apart from Jonasson (who I'd not heard of, but was very impressed by) it seemed fairly predictable. Hope Jonasson does well again this year. If Forsberg rides even half as well as he did at Belle Vue on Wednesday then he will be hard to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Will be interesting to see how the youngsters get on.Will the EL boys dominate or will one of the others like Jonasson or maybe even Gustafsson win.Will be following Forsberg,Gustafsson and Dennis Andersson's scores closely.And what about the almost forgotten young star,Andreas Messing?Will he be on the rostrum.Has his progress slowed to an almost standstill? And when is the 80cc final.I see it is on the link,but no-one has mentioned it.Some of are interested in the 80cc guys as well Hopefully,if the weather is ok,i will be at the Danish 80cc final on sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
