Sandie Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) SLOVENIAN GRAND PRIX, Krsko MATEJ Zagar has been handed the Wild Card nomination for the first Grand Prix of the season at Krsko on April 26. The Slovenian star will be going all-out to prove that his absence from the series as a full-time rider is a temporary one, having lost his place at the end of last season - and, of course, he is a track expert at his home circuit. The race for the 2008 World Championship promises to get off to an explosive start, with World Champion Nicki Pedersen opening the defence of his title in Heat 3 against former runners-up Greg Hancock and Tomasz Gollob, and exciting young Swede Fredrik Lindgren. The opening heat also promises to be spectacular as it features current World No.2 Leigh Adams, who goes up against Scott Nicholls, Rune Holta and series newcomer Krzysztof Kasprzak. Home riders Isak Santej and Jernej Kolenko have been nominated as track reserves for the event. The full draw is as follows: Saturday April 26 - 1900 CET 1 (7) Rune Holta (Poland) 2 (14) Krzysztof Kasprzak (Poland) 3 (8) Scott Nicholls (GB) 4 (2) Leigh Adams (Australia) 5 (11) Bjarne Pedersen (Denmark) 6 (9) Chris Harris (GB) 7 (13) Lukas Dryml (Czech Republic) 8 (10) Andreas Jonsson (Poland) 9 (4) Tomasz Gollob (Poland) 10 (6) Greg Hancock (USA) 11 (1) Nicki Pedersen (Denmark) 12 (15) Fredrik Lindgren (Sweden) 13 (16) Matej Zagar (Slovenia) 14 (12) Niels-Kristian Iversen (Denmark) 15 (5) Hans Andersen (Denmark) 16 (3) Jason Crump (Australia) 17 (17) Isak Santej (Slovenia) 18 (18) Jernej Kolenko (Slovenia) FIM Jury President: W.Glas (Germany) FIM Referee: A.Steele (GB) Source - Speedway world Edited April 15, 2008 by Sandie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
