Robbie B Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Does Vaculik ride for Czech Republic? He's Slovakian. I read it somewhere that he could ride for the Czech Republic, as their don't an International team. Plus their were part of Czechoslovakia. He also holds a Polish licence since 2008.

On that basis I suggest that Team GB should be: Hancock Holder Crump Ward :P 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Baz Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Does anyone know the format this year? Presumably 16 heats with all riders meeting each other, then I'm gusssing four more heats starting with the lowest scorer in each team progressing to the highest. Good guess or not? Better still does anyone have a programme format for those of us watching on Sky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Can't wait for the World Cup, especially after Sky sold it so well last night; apparently it "never fails to disappoint"!!! :blink: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 my guess for team Sweden; AJ, THJ, Freddie Lindgren and Ljung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpartialOne Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 16 programmed then 4 nominated. Thanks. Sounds good. I always thought 25 heats was stringing it out a bit far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Thanks. Sounds good. I always thought 25 heats was stringing it out a bit far. Thats the good part-the bad part -no reserves a big pile up with injuries will hit the meetings hard-although teams can use tac sub/joker if 6 down to replace injured rider.

Dave_minall Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 It would be interesting to have a facility where there is a reserve on standby who can take rides if a team is below a certain point. Unless this is a rule already?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie B Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I think that the new format is very good. Especially now all teams in each block of four heats have red, blue, white and yellow once only. Far better then the old format when you had either had the inside or outside gates, in the block of five heats. But a reserve should be allowed. Just like in the old WTC with them being able to take rides any time they wish. Upto a maximum of six rides. Also the joker should be scrapped, or give all teams a joker to use between heats 5-16. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Antonio Lindback is out of the team according to reports coming from Sweden this morning. Team reckoned to be Andreas Jonsson, Freddie Lindgren, Thomas H Jonasson and Peter Ljung. Google Translates says in it's leader on Eurosport.com (not UK version) Lindbäck thrown out of World Cup team: "Massa rubbish has happened" Antonio Lindbäck poked out of the Swedish team in the speedway. Andreas Jonsson, Fredrik Lindgren, Tomas H Jonasson and Peter Ljung running VM instead. "He has had problems," said Swedish coach Bo Wire Fire on petningen.

Ghostwalker Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Bosse picked the right team imo. Davidsson have struggled all season except the latest meeting, Antonio have been too much up and down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
