Fozzie4388 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Iversen got to be in with Nicki surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.N.T. Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Pedersen not riding and Iversen or Holder may be guesting for Wolves at Eastboure ? Darcy Ward could be set for a comeback in this one for Australia, possibly with Holder (if available) or/and Davey Watt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukesGreg Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Looking forward to this, and again the Eurosport coverage. It has been fun ditching SkySports from my TV package, and still catching the GP series. I don't miss the Elite League, though the odd Premier League meet that has been shown on Sky over the years has been entertaining. Seeing the best riders doesn't always mean seeing the best racing. Scunthorpe and Somerset televised meets have always been great. Glad that the pairs is on though. Looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darcy won't risk this one if his comments at the SGP Methanol Club VIP lunch are anything to go by. I can't see Holder giving up his place to 'guest' at Eastie either!! Aussies should be Holder/Watt!

racers and royals Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 What we need for us watching on Eurosport is a racecard to fill in and follow-anybody volunteering ? will it be the standard 7 teams over 21 heats ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) I can pass on the format of the meeting for now. 23 races in the meeting as below 7 countries 2 riders + substitution in each team Modified heat scoring, guaranteeing emotions in each heat (no draws!): 1st place - 4 points 2nd place - 3 points 3rd place - 2 points 4th place - 0 points 21 heats in regular phase - head to head Semi-final heat - 2nd and 3rd team after regular phase Big Final - winner of regular phase and winner of semi-final heat Edited June 4, 2013 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveallan81 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 What we need for us watching on Eurosport is a racecard to fill in and follow-anybody volunteering ? will it be the standard 7 teams over 21 heats ? I've knocked up an Excel workbook if you have Excel 2007 or newer. The race formula should be the traditional 21 heat, 7 team one as laid down by the FIM (although it's not an FIM meeting). I've got 2 printable versions but they'll have to stand by until the draw and riders are confirmed. There's a blank 'grid-style' version of one online just now, the other will be in the more traditional style. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/oj1egjc4tow01py/XkAn2aOuV0?m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not what you want to hear R&R as i don't think you like my racecards lol lol.......i've just put together a single sheet DUAL GRID version with the features of the MiniMax SGP ones i do. I've knocked up an Excel workbook if you have Excel 2007 or newer. The race formula should be the traditional 21 heat, 7 team one as laid down by the FIM (although it's not an FIM meeting). I've got 2 printable versions but they'll have to stand by until the draw and riders are confirmed. There's a blank 'grid-style' version of one online just now, the other will be in the more traditional style. https://www.dropbox....py/XkAn2aOuV0?m The info i gave before regarding the format was taken from the official website of the competition. When they say 21 heats plus a semi-final and final then one presumes the main body is the FIM template for a pairs meeting. It will be a bit odd if they change that part of it. Hopefully they do follow it so that the gate positions are correct. I may not publish if it ends up nobody knows who's going to ride on the eve of the meeting or the order of the teams. It's supposed to be, or is certainly being promoted as one of the major meetings of the whole season across the world. So like i say i hope we don't get all this no published or settled line-up until the day itself as if it was a filler open meeting. Still well miffed no UK representatives, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Maybe someone could contact the organisers-on behalf of the european TV viewers and ask for the heat details so we can follow the meeting with a score chart. info@speedwaypairs.com biuro@onesportmarketing.pl I suppose we will know at some point the details when Sportowefafty post their live updates page.

There's not really any panic yet that we won't get the details in advance. I'm pretty sure they really haven't confirmed the riders participating yet, yeah i know that is bad. At the end of the day if we get the team line-ups and riding order about half an hour before the meeting begins then anyone doing racecards can quickly put them on the servers, although there's going to be a bit of a load as everyone downloads them at once. Someone pointed out the other year when we were all complaining because we were unsure of a World Cup line-up on the day of the meeting that football doesn't issue their team line-ups until an hour before kick-off. Hope the record floods that are hitting parts of Europe including Poland - some of them the highest since the 16th century! - aren't near the speedway track. I haven't a clue what part of Poland the track is in, i'll have a quick look later. The Czech GP in Prague was fortunately timed well this year. Travel in Prague and other areas is heavily affected from what i've been told. UPDATE A quick check out of curiosity reveals today's weather in Torun...Thunderstorms locally with hail can occur accompanied by intense precipitation and wind gusts to 90 km/h...eeeeek!

racers and royals Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I have only just thought about this-will be interesting(to me anyway if no-one else )who Eurosport are going to employ to commentate for the English speaking viewers.It certainly won`t be anyone employed by Sky-so will they use someone who knows about Speedway or use someone from their stable of "bike commentators ".

mdmc82 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Eastbourne have confirmed that Dryml is riding for them sat night so they are not sure why his name shows on this site as riding with his brother. Do they have teams sorted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
