The 2009 Individual Swedish Championship


Recommended Posts

What level is Dennis Andersson at, would any Swedish correspondents say?

Well he was very impressive tonight and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. [nb My 2006 recomendation from visiting Sweden was THJ, and last year's was Linus Sundstrom]

 

He went from 3rd to 1st in his third ride, pressed THJ hard in his fourth, beat Eklof from the back in heat 17 and rode wheel to wheel with THJ in the first two laps of the final.

 

Forsberg and Lindgren (even with home track advantage) were very disappointing. Strong bias towards inside gates. Only Simon Gustafsson won from gate 4. Decision to exclude him in final was a reasonable call(he steamed under Sundstrom on the second lap causing Linus to hit the air fence hard).

 

I estimated crowd at 1200 - 1156 not bad!

 

PS I doubt if Linus Eklof is happy with 5th. He gated in heat 17 and had he held that would have been straight into the final - however Forsberg and Andersson went either side of him on the fourth bend and Sundstrom passed him on the final lap.

That's a good summary by arnieg. :approve:

 

I must admit Dennis was probably the best rider on the day, at least he was one of the surprise packages in this final, alongside Pontus Aspgren. Thomas didn't really stand out, and rode a bit conservative for most of the night, but upped his game when it was needed the most, though under huge pressure by Dennis.

 

As a Elit Vetlanda fan, I'm very happy for Thomas as he was able to take the crown on his final junior year. I hope it's a night he will remember for quite some time. Well done THJ!

Anyone see the meeting and know why Antonio LIndback had such a poor return of 6 points?. Or was it just a case of a quality field?.

He started well with a brilliant win from the back in his opening ride. But he had gate 4 in his third and fourth ride. [gate 4 produced no wins and just two 2nds in the first 15 races] In his later races he was competetive, racing hard but not finding a way thru, eventually tailing off on the last couple of laps. It was sufficiently tight that a win in his last heat would still have put him into the semi.

 

As for THJ - rubbish :wink: - he ONLY won three races from the back (over Ludvig Lindgren, David Ruud and Henka Gustafsson). In the final PK passed him for third on the second lap, but he wouldn't be defeated and tigered (or shold that be Monarched) away until he repassed PK on the last lap.

Thanks Anders for the very high quality YouTube clip of the final. You wouldn't by chance have heat 14 which has been mentioned would you?
