They all put in a good account yesterday, apart from Sweden who had pretty compelling mitigating circumstances (and Hellstrom-Bangs certainly did better than many expected). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Which makes sense if the rule is consistent - but it wasn’t. Hellstrom-Bangs replaced Aspgren in the Re-run of heat 6. How did that happen? I didn’t understand that at all, especially given the other riders couldn’t be replaced later. Did anyone else notice that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someone Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 I assume the problem for Sweden is not having anyone able to take part from outside the squad at short notice, but surely Woentin, their U-21 reserve, should be position to ride? They are not going to achieve a thing, so at least giving him some track time at this level would mean they take something out of the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
