mikebv Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Maybe been covered off. but I don't want to trawl through loads of comments.. Noticed that Sweden seem to have 'gate four' moved in from the fence.. I presume to keep the racing line down the home straight from effecting this gate... Seems to be a good idea... Why doesn't the U.K. do the same? Edited September 18, 2018 by mikebv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 good meeting but spoiled by the camera work. yet another director wanting a close up arty picture rather than showing all 4 riders in a close race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kildermand used to ride on the edge but he's had some bad crashes. Maybe its left a mark. I thought he would be a top GP rider but he has gone backwards in the last 18 months.

Col Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Kasprzak going from last to first down the home straight to join Andersen for a 1-5 over the atrociously slow Kildemand & Vaculik in about heat 6 ended the televised meeting as a contest, sadly. Was rather enjoying it. Great result for Smederna. Ghostwalker still not an NKI fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Just watched Rospiggarna v Smederna not a classic by any means. Smederna just seemed faster than the home team all night. Hopefully should be a really good final. Dackarna picked the home leg first when they could have had it 2nd. Should be 2 massive crowds next Tuesday/Wednesday- over 7000 at each leg would be my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got slagged by some Poole fans for saying it was a good idea for Somerset to ride the first semi final leg at home. It went against tradition and didn't work out well. The obvious downside is if the home team ride below par as Somerset did. Upside if you ride well to get a big lead leaving the opposition a mountain to climb in the 2nd leg.

Obviously it worked out well for Dackarna in the semi- however to win the league in front of your own fans rather than Smederna`s i would have thought would be best.- at least there will be lots of Dackarna fans in Eskilstuna on Wednesday that`s for sure.

Robbie B Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Fantastic performance by Smederna on Tuesday night it proves once again that their riders have a never-say-die to disappointing results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Joel himself on Dackarna's facebook page, sore and pain from the ribs. Luckily there doesn't seem to be any fractures or serious injury. ------- First post updated with line-ups for tomorrow. Wednesday's line-ups will be available tonight at 21.00 Swedish time.
