Shale Searcher Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Weather Forecast for Tuesday... Very warm day, 22c to 26c by teatime, then heavy showers developing into thunderstorms, clearing Vastervik by 9.30pm/10pm.. Not the best forecast, but, thunderstorms can be very localised and erratic, could hit the track, one after another, or they all could miss the track by a couple of miles... Will update around T24..

Robbie B Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 For me Australia might be slight favourites for this one over Sweden. USA might finish third due to Greg Hancock points, but if he has an average meeting which will be unusual in the SWC then Germany will be heading to Belle Vue.

spanner47 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Sweden clear favourites for me. Greg's points should get the Yanks 3rd place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 How old are those yanks?? Where are the youngsters that have been around last couple of years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Science Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 How old are those yanks?? Where are the youngsters that have been around last couple of years? Obviously deemed not good enough.Bit of a worry for the American system which has trumpeted its youth development ( well Pearson regularly does ) to have to go back to the old guard. Not sure if the older guard of Bobby Schwartz and Shawn McConnell were available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Why no Riss at reserve for Germany? Probably better to split lousy prize money between 4 rather than 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Having purchased tickets for the Race-off & final. I hope the Aussie's can get the win here, Sweden V Denmark on the Friday will make it a better meeting. I'm far from convinced Greg's points will be enough to make the race off for the US. That is a decent German line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 How old are those yanks?? Where are the youngsters that have been around last couple of years? They appear to be doing fine. Looking at US domestic results it is noticible that the younger brigade (Luke Becker[17], Max Ruml[19], Dillon Ruml[17], Broc Nicol[18] in particular) are now filling most of the places in the scratch main finals.

arnieg Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Yet there is none in the PL or in Europe... Perhaps because: 1] They are still at school 2] it's a long way across the Atlantic 3] they want to get enough experience so that they are well prepared when they do come over After all how many teenage Danes and Swedes can you name who are riding in Britain? Dillon Ruml and Luke Becker are younger than British talents like Jack Smith and Zach Wajtknecht and over a year younger than Dmitri Berge who is currently the youngest foreigner riding regularly in Britain (based on a quick scan - it is possible I may have missed someone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manzares isn't here any more either as he wasn't good enough to stay... If them kids are good enough why in gods earth is Janniero riding tomorrow? Hardly giving the kids a chance it's the perfect time for someone like Ruml to ride surely he's better than Janniero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox was 26 when he came over. The four riders I have named are better at 18/19 than Fox was at 23/24. Manzares had a good first season here, and could well be back next year Saying Nicol should ride in preference to Janniro is equivalent to saying Wajtknecht should be selected in preference to Danny King. (Janniro and King are both current national champions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
