What, Elgane without the Bjerk brothers? Where are they?

 

No Carli Raugstad for Riska either?

 

And what about the Drammen team, did the three riders have to share one bike between them, or what? The Gunnestad brothers should have been favorites to win this meeting! What wnet wrong?

I don't know about Inge Bjerk, but Mikke has retired according to an interview he did last year. Inge Bjerk is reserve at the second round of Long Track Grand Prix held in Norway, so he is still active, at least in Longtrack. I don't know why Raugstad isn't riding. As for Drammen, I saw them entering the track briefly only to roll the bikes off again, or not showing at all. Kjetil Ristesund was involved in a crash in the first heat, an his bike was probably rendered useless for the rest of the meeting. I'm not near the pits, so I can't really tell you the why's and why not's. Let's hope they'll get it together for tomorrows meeting at Elgane. The line-ups should be the same, exept for Riska, who are putting in Tommy Thu instead of Stein Roar Pedersen.

Back from sunny Elgane, and there was much more action today, but disaster struck one of the best riders today aswell, as Rune Sola crashed even before the rides had lined up, and busted his bike :(

There was much more passing and fighting today, and without Sola, Lars Daniel Gunnestad was undefeated.

How is the sport doing attendance wise in Norway these days. I note that it was a nice sunny day at Riska so did the fans turn out in force?

Not at all. There must have been about 20 people, or less, exept the riders families, at Riska, and say about a hundred or so at Elgane. The meetings are hardly advertised, so you'll have to be interested in local speedway and check the web pages to know when they are held. The weather was marvelous both days, so that was no excuse to sit at home. It's sad, but I hope the up-and-coming riders provides new blood also fan-wise.

Thank you for that, but in that scoresheet results are different then you post. Do you know scoresheet from 2nd round?

 

Does anybody knows (or know where to find) results of Liga 2.? According terminlist 2nd round should be 28th May in Riska, and 1st should be 29th May in Kristiansand?

Well, mine is different, 'cause I gave Michael Sjöqvist his 8 points in the summary, thus giving Grenland 21 points instead of 13 ;)

 

Scoresheet from Elgane hasn't been posted on the web, but here is heat by heat.

 

Omsland, Herold, Groven, Thu

Solberg, Skretting, Hansen, Salte

L.Gunnestad, Thu, Ristesund,

Sjøqvist, Salte, Haaland, Groven

Skretting, Thu, Salte,

Sjøqvist, Hansen, Solberg, Groven

L.Gunnestad, Haaland, Salte, Ristesund

Moen, Herold, Thu, Hansen

T.Gunnestad, Omsland

L.Gunnestad, T.Gunnestad, Herold,

Skretting, Sjøqvist, Salte, Omsland

L.Gunnestad, Moen, Solberg, T.Gunnetad

Sjøqvist, Herold, Omsland

 

Match these with the points from the previous post, and you'll have your scoresheet:)

 

As for Div. 2, there has only ben one completed race. The one at Riska rained away, and they'll have to find another date.

 

Amusing that round 2 was to be raced before round 1...
