Rob B Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Went to Abensburg for Grand Prix Challenge years ago. Track hardly gets used, when we turned up for practise it had grass growing through it! Big track but completley flat and only one line round the inside.

SCB Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 What a shambles. I guess R/R has been trying so hard for years in the NL he's due a chance in a big meeting. Pleased to see he finally got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie4388 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 oh so by looks of it GB cant even use R/R why not call up another rider. Looks like Sweden are gonna walk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make the competition a joke if you could use R/R in a 5 man squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Lol very witty Shawn  5 man teams and they expect (perhaps not unrealistically) teams to be able to send 5 riders along, Superstar1.  Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) i agree i wasnt moaning about the rules i was having a moan about the GB Management for not calling up someone else. Â Ps am i right in thinking heat 5 says something about the young german not been able to move his legs properly and off to hospital by Helicopter.

M.D Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 i agree i wasnt moaning about the rules i was having a moan about the GB Management for not calling up someone else. Ps am i right in thinking heat 5 says something about the young german not been able to move his legs properly and off to hospital by Helicopter.   Translation:  Decay Petersena and Grajczonka. Repetition in full composition (warehouse). It can not move after case (chance) legs Petersen, helicopter has to carry away him (it) from stadium and transport for hospital. It ran for finish line after two points Grajczonek, but in limit of time not zmieścił.   I was getting worried about this too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Helsing Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Updates regarding the crash with Sonke Petersen and Josh Grajczonek .... Josh is up and fine however is machinery is a little worse for wear. Not so good news about Sonke ... according to Polish and German translations ... he claims he cant feel or move his legs and has been immediately airlifted to the nearest hospital. Â Hopefully it isnt what we all fear as Sonke is a rare and upcoming talent on the continent. Best wishes and thoughts are with Sonke.

Snyper1010 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Hope Sonke is ok. Â Seemingly on the Chatzone its said Josh didnt finish the race in time in the re run. Therefore was excluded. Im guessing this means he couldnt push his bike quick enough before the ref called time. Â ps COME ON THJ Edited June 1, 2009 by Snyper1010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
