lastword Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Apologies in advance to any Vetlanda fans, but I do not like this track. No wonder there are so many tapes offences when it seems such a difficulty to come from the back. IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the surface- which seems sandy, or the shape, which seems fine to me, or what? Follow the leader mostly and not for the first time. I'm genuinely puzzled.

I think it's the shale that, like you say, seems to be quite heavy/sandy. It's rare but sometimes there have been some decent racing on this track but Vetlanda want to have it like this.

They always track ultra-competitive teams (putting it mildly !) and you would think they would want the fans to see closer racing. What do i know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 According to Piraterna's team manager. Fredrik Engman will likely ride instead of Jonas Davidsson next week when Darcy is back. Smederna 14p down with one heat to go. It's Smederna's regular bad luck, with a full team we would have won. Very impressive pass by Emil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 What is the point of Eurosport covering Swedish Elitserien this season. I think they have shown 1 match live and can't even show all 15 heats in an hour highlights program. Pathetic! Might as well put it back on Premier Sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Is there a highlights match on Eurosport this week please ? It was (or was supposed to be) shown on ESP 2 at 20:30 UK time earlier tonight, not sure if it will be shown again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Is there a highlights match on Eurosport this week please ? Sadly nothing at all. The next coverage isn't until July 21st. At least that will be a live match, the second in 11 rounds. They're missing next week's round totally, but still have room to show an hour's highlights from Cardiff, followed by an hour from next Saturday's SEC round next Tuesday! It's beyond a joke.

New Science Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Who said this was a rubbish track? EMIL. Greg seems to be making a habit of giving opponents plenty of room to pass him up the inside on tracks where riders are struggling to pass.
