Steve Turner Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Riding order 1 Matej Žagar Slov 2 Christian Hefenbrock Ger 3 Chris Harris GB 4 Tomasz Gollob Pol 5 Leigh Adams Aus 6 Hans Andersen Den 7 Nicki Pedersen Den 8 Jason Crump Aus 9 Andreas Jonsson Swe 10 Antonio Lindbäck Swe 11 Wiesław Jaguś Pol 12 Bjarne Pedersen Den 13 Jarek Hampel Pol 14 Greg Hancock USA 15 Rune Holta Pol 16 Scott Nicholls GB So Gollob gets the jinxed No.4 slot... And Heat 2 looks uncomfortable for Adams, Nicki, Hans and Crump ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 In fairness, young Turner, the No 4 slot hasn't exactly attracted the cream of the crop, has it? None of the current top four in the standings has thus far raced a GP at No 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Turner Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 That's because they've all done there homework and avoided it ! Very professional, I'd say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 That's because they've all done there homework and avoided it ! Very professional, I'd say <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you questioning the professionalism of the former British champion, since he hasn't managed to avoid it? I think he was No 4 at Cardiff and did make the semi-finals. Lindgren also made the semis at No 4 in Malilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Turner Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Certainly ! Scotty didn't pay the FIM enough to avoid it, he probably got cocky and thought it was a joke...but no, not even the former British Champion could break the jinx, despite desperate riding in the Cardiff semi Everyone fancied oddball Freddie to do well in Malilla, but again...the jinx held him back. As a wildcard he probably wasn't aware of it though, so he's gotta be excused Let's see how the former Polish Champion gets on with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Let's see how the former Polish Champion gets on with it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, the current Polish champion hasn't done to well on the two occasions he's been No 4 - 2 points in Lonigo and 5 points in Copenhagen. Others to be No 4 are Ulamek (6 points), BP (3 points), Lindback (0 points), Zagar (2 points), Jagus (5 points) and Jonsson (6 points). Jagus is an interesting one. No 4 gets you gate 4 twice and Jagus was No 4 at Bydgoszcz, where gate 4 was working very well and provided the winner of the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Ridgeon Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Given the current situation re Antonio Lindback, will Karlsson senior be making his GP swansong at Gelsenkirchen because, if so, I have a giant Sweden flag with a wolf in the corner which needs a good iron...

Topcat Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 On the day you can travel on all the normal trains. You can't use the fast ones. ICE. Don't pass it on but the ticket checks on the trains can be few and far between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
