iris123 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Trying to find out the line-up for this and have most,but missing a Pole and a Brit at least here plus a rider from Belgium if there is one that qualifies Denmark M.Michelsen J.B.Andersen T.Jørgensen R.Jensen N.Porsing Sweden O.Berntzon J.Thorsell F.Engman V.Palovaara Poland B.Zmarzlik Germany A.Mochner D.Maaßen +1 Poland,1,GB,1,Belgium + Finland not sending anyone so???? reserves N.B.Jakobsen K.L.Nielsen Should be an interesting meeting with 6 going through to the final in Opole 25.08.Hope a good Brit gets picked and i imagine a super young Polish rider also.Fingers crossed for the weather..... Thinking about it,i saw Maaßen hobbling around on crutches just a couple of weeks back,so he probably won't make it Edited July 2, 2012 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I think Ashley Morris is the British representative, Iris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchGrasstrack Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 There won't be a rider for Belgium, that's for sure. Wim Kennis is the only Belgian U21 rider and he's currently out with a wrist injusty plus he has turned this focus to MX sidecarracing instead of speedway.

iris123 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Enjoyable meeting with great weather compared to Outrup the night before.Unfortunately a very small crowd due probably to holiday time in Denmark.I know quite a few speedway regulars are away on holiday at the moment.Ashley Morris wasn't too bad really for a thrid division rider,better than i expected.Was a bit of panic in the Morris camp as the dirt deflectors they had were deemed illegal as they had been polished.The best bit was they had bought them off one of the top Danes.Caught wind of a telephone call and we asked Danish Webmaster for help and thanks to him and Rasmus Jensen at least rasmus loaned Ashley one of his so Morris could at least practice,while Ashleys dad drove over to pick some up from Peter Juul.Certainly didn't want to buy any as Rasmus said they are about double what they cost in England.So typical speedway community helping each other out.Rasmus got his just rewards for the kind deed as he deservedly qualified for the Final.Looked very good in doing so.And wants to come over to 'England' next season,so..... Zmarzlik was super out of the gate and hardly troubled.Rasmus gave him a tough time fora bit and Mikkel actually gated in front of him and lead for a lap or two.

uk_martin Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 ...didn't want to buy any as Rasmus said they are about double what they cost in England... I know Scandanavia is an expensive place, but it that typical of the difference in the cost of all bike parts in Denmark? It must cost these young guys a fortune to get started in the sport before they have the luxury of sponsors to help out with the expenses. And yet the conveyor belt of promising young Danes keeps churning them out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't know mate,but Rasmus told me he brought his from England because they were half the price what they would have cost him in Denmark!!!!The big worry was that if Team Morris couldn't get hold of any from one of the Danes then they would have to buy a new one from a dealer.And he was only due to turn up at 12,which would have meant missing training and then about €300 or so....it all seems a big con for what was basically the same part,just Ashleys were polished....you wonder why no guidance on such things was given.But then i guess they thought as they got them off a Dane they were kosher to use in Denmark.

There were big problems at the leszno GP with non-conforming dirt-deflectors.if the Dane is a GP rider he probably sold them after that !

iris123 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Polished and lightened probably. Yes.I guess they are perfectly ok to use in the NL or maybe all leagues?. Also forgot to mention young Jonas B who was linked with a move to Newcastle this season,who sadly broke his foot in a fall.Hope he makes a speedy recovery Edited July 9, 2012 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rami Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 My first visit to Holsted and was very impressed with the whole set up, Great track and a lovely place - although very quiet on a friday night . The rule regarding the dirt deflectors not been allowed to be polished has apparently only just been bought in, shame nobody bothered to tell us! Very impressed with all the young Danes looks like they have another great crop of youngsters to carry on flying the danish flag in world speedway. Special thanks to Rasmus for lending a dirt deflector for practice it was very much appreciated. And just to confirm Ashleys Dirt deflector was polished but certainly wasnt lightened.
