iris123 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 It is worrying for the Swedes and as i have said for a few years,the Danes that the youth system doesn't seem to be producing many if any decent juniors.The collapse of the number of youngsters even entering the Danish system must be a big worry.Of course it is possible that someone outside the U21 team might end up being a better rider than those favoured at the moment.Kildemand springs to mind as someone who wasn't so often picked as the likes of Klindt and Hougaard,but ended up a better international rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Starting to look a lot better for the British riders coming through. As long as we can keep them grounded we will see some very good talent coming through. We need training tracks where youngsters can blast around for as many hours as they like on any day they like. A track built in a large barn so no noise issues would help no end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Stephan Katt and Matten Kröger use or used to use an old warehouse(concrete floor though) to train in during the winter.Must be a possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin man 76 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Sweden have a very weak set of U21 at the moment, so it shouldn't have come as any surprise that even with home advantage they finished last with 17pts. I would even argue that Finland has three riders - Nike Lunna, Jooa Partanen and Jesse Mustonen who are at present the equals, if not better, than those chosen to represent Sweden in the final.

But with no funding, no team. Looks better for next year though. Early talks, early doors but there's a chance U21 team could be back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 That's the last time for 3 of the young Poles in the U.21s, The Aussie boys are much younger and will still all(?) be eligible for next year I think. That is correct.Krystian Pieszczek, Bartosz Zmarzlik and Paweł Przedpełski are too old next season. However I am sure Poland have a bunch of new talented riders waiting in the sideline. Kacper Woryna is one (20 years old), Smektala is only 18, Daniel Kaczmarek is 19. So I would think that Poland will have a good team next year as well.

And a rider better than those 3 will be back namely Maksym Drabik Edited August 21, 2016 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
