Grachan Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Did you see the Danes shouting from the pits and trying to get Kenneth Bjerre to slow down to stop Poland using the joker? I thought that's what they were doing, and Hans Andersen's after-meeting interview pretty much confirmed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 A good meeting which I think would have been great but for the loss of Crump and the heavy shower which ruined the track. As soon as Crump dropped out the Aussies heads dropped and they didn't want to know. A shame. Denmark the better team and solid throughout. Polish riders were agressive and put themselves about. Sweden battled all the way. Well done to the Danes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superguest Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 The Aussies won't like Vojens! Denmark to win by 15 pts....the other 3 will all be pretty close and it may come down to who uses their tactical the best as to who ends up with Silver and Bronze. Denmark Poland Sweden Australia Haha I guess in the end Denmark just wanted to keep it close to advoid the Joker Well done Nicki, PUK, Hans, Bjarne and Kenneth.

mikec Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Agreed - congrats to the Danes, worthy winners. My god have England/GB got some seroius catching up to do! Anyway Tomasz just said the final (& presumably race-off too) is at Leszno next year - excuse for a few days off work, should be good!

John Hannibal Thomas Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Yes, the Newcastle Select team were worthy winners. As well a Ole, we had Nicki, Bjarne, KB and even Rune Knutsen in the pits. Good meeting. The Spirit of Juul was evident amongst the Geordie Danes. Just think how could Hans Andersen could have been as a Speedway rider if he made the right choice all those years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Turner Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 2 good calls superguest mate Congratulations to Denmark, they stepped up at just the right time. A true champions performance, and deserved winners on a track that certainly didn't favour them in any way. Poland did themselves proud, although Walasek was embarrassing until the pressure was off. They can clearly call themselves the second best nation now. Sweden scored well without ever looking comfortable. Australia, a distant fourth without a race win. Bad news for them, going straight to the final. None of them will take any pleasure out of the night. Get well soon Crumpy. A decent meeting, a bit of drama, and I'm actually pleased I bothered to watch it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerblues Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Australia were robbed of a better go at it once Crump was ruled out through no fault of his own but I don't think anyone could argue that the Danes were clear favourites and delivered. Fully deserved, well done. Message to Team GB - take a mental note of how Denmark behaved in the pits, you could learn something about team spirit.

lastword Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Congrats to the Danish team......a deserved win....... but the whole thing was only a whisker away from a farce because of the ridiculous 'joker' rule. In the last five heats the Danes were desperately throwing points to avoid going six points behind..........(see N. Pedersen's 3rd place in heat 21.) In interviews with Andersen it was admitted that a misunderstanding with K.Bjerre (who was expected to 'throw' his race in heat 23) allowed the Poles back into it. As it happened Gollob blew it........but you could see the Poles planning the same sort of tactics before heat 23, in which Jagus finished 3rd. A shame that in the final stages of a meeting that this sort of thing should be going on........all down to the stupid double points rule.

gooner_girl4eva Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Yes massive congrats to Denmark - worthy winners on the night so very proud of the guys, they weren't all on top form but came good when needed and the team spirit they had was great to see. Was paniking a little when DKwent 6 points up before heat 24 but luckily PUK did enough and saved his best till last... Good meeting for the neutral - had a bit of everything Was surprised to hear race off and final is at Leszno next year - thought it was a certainty to be held at Cov..so I guess Polska have a "fairly" good chance of winning the gold back Massive crowd and looked a fun atmosphere - hope Crumpy makes a quick recovery so there can be a good fair battle for the top spot in the gps..
