Vincent Vega Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Thanks SS. Sweden have got a worse team than us surely PK and Lindback should be in the side ahead of Ljung and Davidson even though Jonas has been riding well for us this season. Shields should be in the team ahead of Sullivan. Poland and Denmark look nailed on for the top 2 spots IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweden have got a worse team than us surely PK and Lindback should be in the side ahead of Ljung and Davidson even though Jonas has been riding well for us this season. From last year's SWC event at Brandon: Sweden..49 1..F Lindgren..1,2,3,1,2,3 = 12 2..P Karlsson..3,1,0,3,2 = 9 3..A Lindback..2,0,W = 2 4..M.Max..2,1,2,2,1 = 8 5..J Davidsson..2,3,6,3,2 = 16 R..M Karlsson..0,2 = 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrow boy Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 What will GB's team be, bearing in mind that Chris, Scott & Ollie might still be injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leanne1706 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 What will GB's team be, bearing in mind that Chris, Scott & Ollie might still be injured. Bomber and Olly are hoping to ride tonight, so that shouldn't be a problem. Not sure about Scotty, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Rob Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Team GB squad will be Saint Rob Dietbowers Subedei Steve Shovlar Orion We would still do better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Team GB squad will be Saint Rob Dietbowers Subedei Steve Shovlar Orion We would still do better Looking for sponsors, if anyone's interested. Anyway, looking at that Polish team I'm just not so sure. Rune Holta's form at the minute is fairly dreadful. He was recently dropped by Elit Vetlanda in Sweden and he only scored 3 points in the Ekstraliga meeting at Leszno yesterday. And Krzysztof Kasprzak's form this season really hasn't been good at all. They'll have to be on top of their game if they want to get straight through to the final, as Australia are very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know you can`t have r/r in the SWC,I was just being a little cynical,and wondering if anybody was going to rename me As for your second point,there`s no reply that could better your post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Baz Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 What is the format this year? I would like to prepare a programme for Saturdays Sky meeting, but the declared teams have only 5 riders. Last year we had reserves named if my memory is correct, at least that's what I have in my PC still. Have they gone back to the old format? Does anyone know the current format? Last year heat one was the four number ones, and heat two the four number twos etc up to heat five. Is that the format for 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnset Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Is anyone going to be doing a race card for this meeting?? If so could i get a copy. PLEASE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Is anyone going to be doing a race card for this meeting?? If so could i get a copy. PLEASE No idea if the format has changed in the last few years, if not, there's a race card here. I'll check it later and if it need changing, I'll sort it. Also, not sure how efficient the scoring adding up part is TBH, I'll check that later too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Anybody else think Billy Forsberg should have been included? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leanne1706 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Anybody else think Billy Forsberg should have been included? Only if he takes his skirt off He's a good little racer, from what I've seen of him, but would he be able to up his game like everyone else seems to for the World Cup?

21st century heathen Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 You mean as long as he hasn't put it back on! He's been good value at Brandon this season. On one of his earlier visits he had to slow down for Crump to stay on a 5-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngy105 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Anybody else think Billy Forsberg should have been included? Yes....and why no Charlie Gjedde in the Danish squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
