moomin man 76 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Apologies if it has been mentioned elsewhere, but both Tero Aarnio and Timo Lahti are due to ride for Rospiggarna once the Swedish season gets started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the info but haven't posted anything about it. I will update the team info once everything is sorted . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squads are still not 100 percent finished yet though. Edited August 4, 2020 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd got the impression there would be few foreign riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the teams have allot of foreign riders it is not certain that they will be available, like Zmarzlik who is unlikely to be available in the first half but available in the second half. I think most teams won't use many foreign riders in the beginning (all teams are qualified for play offs anyway) and then go all in for the quarter final.

I suspect the Poles will be reminding several riders who's their main employer is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for nominated heats Home Team can pick gates 1&3 (heats 13 and 15) and gates 2&4 (heat 14) and vice versa? Any link to official source confirming? I have now had it confirmed that if the home team picks 1-3 in heat 13, Heat 14 will be 2-4, Heat 15 will be 1-3 and vice versa. In these heats the riders in Red and White will always have the inside of the team's gates. (Gate 1 or Gate 2) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMcCaffery Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 That race formula needs study by Dave Goddard in time for Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Goddard Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 I have been studying everything this afternoon - just one question, does the away team start from gates 1 and 3 for every meeting, and no coin toss for gates? That racecard seems to indicate such.

Yes, and i fully expect gates 2 and 4 will be best early on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Goddard Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Thankyou - just one answer I cannot find in the thread - aggregate bonus points, do they have them and what happens in the event of a tie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Goddard Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 I'd rather make sure of things rather than get it wrong on air and give everyone here more ammunition against me, so just checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave, take it from someone who's done the job. albeit at a much lower level, if you delivered the perfect commentary someone will always come out from under a stone to attack. Often it's motivated by simple jealousy. You're right to research and try to get it right. You're doing a great job in very difficult circumstances, so remote fro m the action. I thoroughly enjoy your work. You avoid lazy cliche for starters. Thank you. You're doing an honest job and doing it very well. It's a pleasure to have your company for a couple of hours, although five nights a week is pushing it ;-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home team chose the gates for Heat 13-15. If they chose 1/3 for Heat 13, they have 2/4 Heat 14 and 1/3 for Heat 15. (Vice versa if they take 2/4 in Heat 13) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
