Your wish has been granted-earlier in the week the forecasts were saying rain but when i checked yesterday it said sun-they must change daily !

Ghostwalker Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 a pretty hilarious article about tonights GP. http://mvt.se/sport/speedway/1.534757 The reporter claims that AJ will not ride because of injury and the he will be replaced by Peter karlsson and that Sebastian Aldén is riding for Dackarna First of all AJ will ride as he have been feeling well for a week. Second even if AJ would not ride PK would not be anywhere near of replacing him (either GP first reserve or track reserve). Third Sebastian Aldén rides for Elit Vetlanda and Valsarna.

krompa Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 How is the weather in Malilla? Forecast was pretty bad. Has it improved or rain still expected before/during the meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipswich Jules Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Just so people are aware, this is live on sky from 6pm-8pm and then switches over to the red button - awkward if like me you're going out and planned to Sky+ it......

emerald tyke Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Pity bout the sky red button for the final hour of this event...could be a beauty too..........riders fav ref!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 How is the weather in Malilla? Forecast was pretty bad. Has it improved or rain still expected before/during the meeting? from what i have heard from poeple in Målilla, no rain yet. A quick look at the radar images : http://www.smhi.se/cmp/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=9444&l=sv and it looks like that most of the rain might pass south of Målilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 reports says that it has started to rain less then 10km from Målilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 there seems to some concern regarding the weather since it started to rain in målilla around 17.00 swedish time. this is a rainfall radar picture from 20 minutess ago and it looks like the rain will have moved away if not til the start so atleast maybe to maybe 19.30-20.00 Swedish time.

Ghostwalker Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 the racing will get better when the track dries up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 might as well post in the correct thread, pretty boring event. some good heats though. Next gp will be even worse i suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
