Results from todays team meeting in Fredericia

1.Denmark

2.Australia

3.Sweden

4.Poland

 

Spiderweb.To answer some of the questions you ask.Well they do race 125's here as well.Not in Denmark,but in Germany they have a 125 class rather than 80cc.In Czecho i think they might have the 125's as well.I remember they are having this Marketa Cup for juniors there on 125's maybe.The FIM have set up a comittee to look into trying to sort it all out into a unified systembut i doubt it will happen.Denmark are not going to change from 80cc as they have far too much invested in the system and the results speak for themselves.Other countries like Germany can't really set up an 80cc system i guess.They use the normal track with bigger bikes.

 

Wjhy there are no Brits here.Good question.And one i was speaking to the ref at the YGT about.He was a Brit.Pretty embarrasing that the boys from Oz come all the way over,but no Brits can be bothered.And some might say "we don't have 80cc meetings".But Arthur Sissis had never seen an 80cc bike until this week :approve:

 

That is it after today i think they all head over to England for a few days and then back home.Although Arthur will be back in Europe soon thanks to Red Bull

I can't vouch 100% as there might have been a tactical or 2 that i missed.The tannoy system was unintelligible where i was.I noticed a few but could easily have missed something.

Was a better meeting than maybe the scores indicate.Sedgman fell whilst in second.Alex davies was excluded for unfair riding while in a good position and little Cameron Heeps made a great gate in his second heat only to fall.

Thanks for that mate, - looks like Justin is just too tall for 80ccs, I expect he'll go straight to 500s this Oz season. A lot of very promising juniors will be going up as well so the qualifier for Ozchamps 2009 should be a ripper, they might have to run another qualifier just to get in.

 

Did you catch up with the Sedgemen clan?

It should be said that the one Brit who was here, Ref Jim Lawrence, did an extremely good job. Holding the reed lights when possible/safe and making prompt and correct desicions.

 

In the team turnament yesterday the two Mikkels was very fast. Taylor Poole was out to show that he should have been in the final, and he should.

 

And again Litle Arthur won the hearts off all present. Admission fees could have been charged to see such raw talent alone. He finished with a Hans andersen style wheelie standing on the back fender, i bet that the Danish top bouys will be bending bikes trying to learn that the in the comming months.

 

See you

Peter

Yes well done to Authur, think Davies deserves a mention , he would be giving some of those kids a fair weight advantage.

With three of the six aussies not around next year, begs the question how many aussies will there be next year.

 

I think MA need to step in and put more money into getting some of the other kids particulary the ones that qualify through the aussies

but cant afford the expense to get there, a greater hand as its an expensive exercise.

 

Even if that means cutting the numbers back.

 

Cheers Chopper

 

Hi I am Cameron Heeps' aunty I have been watching the Youth Gold Cup with great interest and just wanted to say a thanks to Dutch Grasstrack for his results, its really difficult when you can't be there but its much appreciated and also iris123 thanks for the link to the photos taken during the quali's I was able to get a photo of Cam.

 

I have to agree with Chopper MA does need to offer the kids a lot more support (not just financial) to be able to go further in Speedway. I know that because we are in Western Australia its difficult to get the youngsters to stay with the sport, Cam struggles for competition and his dad has even sent him east for some race meets (a very expensive way to get experience). I am not sure how things are over east with support from MA, and to go oversea's is a huge expense.

 

Anyway Cams family were really proud of him and it is was fantastic that Arthur came 3rd!!!! :)

Have to agree with you on that one BFD, thats why i made mention of Alex Davies doing well, giving away a fair bit in weight disadvantage.

Think you will find Justin is already sixteen so he will be on a 500 this year.

Also been told that if you dont have good contacts, or take your own bike its a bit of a lottery.

 

 

Cheers Chopper

Thanks for posting the pictures of the Aussie boys and all your results.

 

it is a pity MA hasn't showed a little bit more interest by publishing something on their website.

 

Cheers

Well i am having a bit of trouble with the guy at MA.Mick Poole told me to send some photos through,but i think they have some email security that bounces back mails with files attached.I have told the guy but so far got no response.Hopefully it gets sorted and they can have some photos of the riders to use.

I have sent some to Cameron Heeps website and i gave a cd to Arthur Sissis' father.Any other websites or family are more than welcome to have some pics if they want.The guys(and all the familes who spent a lot of money and mechanics,etc) certainly did Australia proud
