shazzybird Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hopefully GB's team will be Nicholls, Harris, Kennett, Richardson and Woffinden. I would not entertain Allen and Stead under any circumstances. No Bridger Steve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balderdash&piffle Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Czech teamI am sure is:- Ales Dryml, Lukas Dryml, Adrian Rymel, Lubos Tomicek & Fillip Siterra. I wonder where the idea of Mikael Makovski riding for a Czech team came from, he has not ridden in his home country since signing for The Bandits in 2001.

Jenn Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 IMO i wouldnt pick neither PK or Max. my team would currently be: Andreas Fredrik Jonas Daniel Nermark and i think Billy Forsberg or any of the other young guns. ooooh - now this team would be interesting! 4 of the 5 are riders i particularly support/enjoy watching! With the current GB squad being low on the above I may be tempted to switch nationalities..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not even going to qualify! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOBYDO Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Whatever team is finally selected, I hope that everyone gets behind them and gives them the support they will definitely need !!!! Irrespective of personal opinions/team preference the GB team deserve our support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Ridgeon Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) From the thread relating to the individual Swedish Championship the riders automatically seeded through to the final are:- Andreas Jonsson, Dackarna Fredrik Lindgren, Dackarna Peter Karlsson, Dackarna Jonas Davidsson, Smederna Daniel Nermark, Solkatterna Peter Ljung, Elit Vetlanda David Ruud, Lejonen Mikael Max, Piraterna Perhaps this suggests the probable pool of riders which will be picked on for the SWC? Then you've got the likes of Zetterstrom and Lindback who did well in the qualifying event... Edited June 27, 2008 by Vic Ridgeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Those 8 that are seeded through are in the Swedish 10 rider SWC squad, alongside Sebastian Aldén and Billy Forsberg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, thanks Anders. Makes sense to have the 8 seeded in the squad but I do wonder if they could have picked stronger riders than Max, Ruud & Ljung such as Lindback. Still, happy to see Mikael if he rides at Cov (which he probably wont ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Then you've got the likes of Zetterstrom and Lindback who did well in the qualifying event... Lindback would be an interesting choice and one that I'd be inclined to consider if there were still reserves in the SWC. But, there aren't, so not worth the risk, in my opinion. He'd have been a good shout for the reserve position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richspeedway Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Well in today's Sunday Express it said the team will be Nicholls, Lee, Bomber, Stead and Allen and if they get to the final Kennett will be in the side and maybe Tai.

spook Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 what a mistake................. does Jim Lynch think that we can actually win the event? If we cant win the event then he has to bring through guys who can possibly help us win it in the future.............. i'm sorry but IMO that doesnt include Simon Stead or Oliver Allen Jim Lynch is trying to reach the final here without going to the playoff........ this is error number 2.......... we cannot win the final so therefore why miss out on the chance to blood youngsters and get to the race off where the bikes and guys can get dialed in? .........The statistics show that teams that progress to the final from the race off do well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnset Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) In the GP program yesterday i am sure i saw a picture of Scott, Chris, Lee, Ed, Simon with the advert to Coventry??? Edited June 29, 2008 by sunnset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Andreas Jonsson, Fredrik Lindgren, Jonas Davidsson , Peter Ljung and Daniel Nermark. Are the 5 riders who will ride for Sweden at the Coventry semi-final. A quite big surprise that PK is left out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

em1500uk Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hoping to go to this meeting. Only just found out today that dad's friend is planning on going and he's invited us, so, fingers crossed Andreas Jonsson, Fredrik Lindgren, Jonas Davidsson, Peter Ljung and Daniel Nermark. Are the 5 riders who will ride for Sweden at the Coventry semi-final. Woooooo for Daniel Nermark I'll be rooting for Sweden then too, as well as the Brits! AJ and Lindgren aren't bad either. Can't comment on Davidsson or Ljung as I've not seen them ride before. Anyone know the line up for the other nations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
