Ghostwalker Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Just to keep the thread alive The line-up for the first of the two semi's, from Motala in Sweden...home to the Pirates 1. Peter Karlsson SWE 2. Mads Korneliusen DEN 3. Jonas Davidsson SWE 4. Dave Watt AUS Slight error of judgment made by Mr Watt. Excluded from meeting. Replaced by Kenneth Bjerre DEN 5. Matej Ferjan HUN 6. Tobias Kroner GER 7. Simon Stead ENG 8. Tomasz Jędrzejak POL 9. Daniel Nermark SWE 10. Niels-Kristian Iversen DEN 11. Ales Dryml CZE 12. Edward Kennett ENG 13. Daniel King ENG 14. Adrian Rymel CZE 15. Grzegorz Walasek POL 16. Rory Schlein AUS reserve 18. Martin Smolinski GER I think Walasek is the 'home-track' rider. If he makes it to the Final, it's gonna be held on his home Polish track, Zielona Góra ! Motala's not a big track or a trick track, but you do need great engines. Top 8 go through to the Final in a couple of months time. Daniel Nermark and Jonas Davidsson has to be counted as hometrack riders aswell. Nermark do ride for Solkatterna (PL Team) but also rides for Piraterna thanks to farming agreement between Piraterna and Solkatterna. Piraterna was were Jonas started his career since he is from Motala and he should know the track as a hometrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Who replaces Dobrucki at Terenzano? I guess the first reserev (No.17 Carpanese), pity it can't be No.18 Saifutdinov? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Turner Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Thanks Ghostie for the link and the info above. I'll be surprised if the Piraterna website does not crash though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) its confirmed now that Bjerre will take Davey Watts place. This means we've got another "homerider" Bjerre used to ride for Piraterna. Edited July 5, 2008 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 All 3 Brits fail to qualify from Motala , up to Richardson and Howe now to at least get one in the Final. Is it likely that the amount of places offered to GB in the qualifying for next year will be reduced if we continue to make no progress?

London Witch Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Only one point for Tobi oh well he did beat Rory! Sorry to read that Davey missed out tho, but good on him for putting his club first, not that travelling early did Rory or Simon any favours!

Bagpuss Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Well done Dan! Would love to see him qualify for the GP's and ruffle a few feathers in the first bend Edited July 5, 2008 by Bagpuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiltonpanther Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Well done to Kenneth for qualifying. It proves he was correct to race when not fully fit. Hopefully he will now get stronger before the final. Pity about the Brits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Turner Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 that is very true. but at least they got the chance. we'll never know if davey would have qualified now. But he did have his chance, and he blew it ! I'm honestly not being funny, but you make out he's some kind of victim. He made a choice, took a gamble and got it wrong.

He made a choice, took a gamble and got it wrong. i'm not trying to make it sound like he's a victim, perhaps i should have worded it differently!! just meant its a shame his flight got delayed and couldn't make it on time, so he could have his chance to qualify like everyone else.

bazaar3 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Very disappointing that Stead, Kennett or King couldn't get through against riders of the caliber such as Jedrezak, Nermark and Davidsson who are riders they can beat comfortably on other tracks. Gutted for Watty, he would have won this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schumi Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 To be fair, Davey was only in this because Theo Pijper got injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
