Danish league 2019


Recommended Posts

just read in the speedway star  that Holsterbo  have pulled out of the league for 2019 due to financial  difficulties. This leaves just 6 teams and after the teams have ridden each other H & A (10 matches)

the top 2 will meet home and away to decide who will host the 4 team final. The remaining 4 teams will then fight it out for the final last 2 final places- the team finishing 3rd in the regular season will have first choice who they meet over 2 matches.

Denmark`s TV 2 will once again show some matches.

42 matches last season, not including play-offs, 30 this year.

Edit: no they had 6 home matches last year, which is right for the 7 teams that were in the league

Also find the new scorecard really hard on the eye. Maybe time to start wearing those glasses. :(

Thanks not sure why i thought they had more fixtures last season- 6 is correct- so not much difference this season

Sounds like big problems in Outrup. Crash in the first heat due to track conditions and a couple of hours delay trying to sort the problem out....

Now called off!!!!

Have they stopped sharing out the remaining points from any unraced heats when a meeting is abandoned due to rain now?

No it is still the practice.

I recently went to a Danish League 2 match where the meeting was abandonned after 11 heats. All four teams had an additional 14 race points for the 9 unraced heats.

Who is Marcus Crawford Birkemose ?  he rides for Grindsted

Edit he must be a very very talented youngster- see who  he is beating tonight  https://rs.dmusport.dk/loeb/4309

Birthday is October 9th but i don`t know how old he is 

I had the pleasure of seeing him live tonight for the first time.

It was a very impressive performance from him. Some great gates and always looked well in control.

I think he is still 15 at the moment, but am not 100% certain on that.

Thanks Henry- what happened to him in heat 12 ?

He didn't quite make the gate in that one and got squeezed out...Part way through the race he pulled up mid corner and lifted his arm before getting going again...I thought he was unhappy about something that had happened but it seems he might have done something to his shoulder mid race...He got it strapped up in the pits and was also wearing a sling after the meeting.
