DACKARNA - ELIT VETLANDA 46-50 (Aggregate: 87-105)
at G&B Arena, Målilla
Attendence: 4836
Heat details:
www.speedway.nu/2009/reportNY.asp?Elit.ABDackarna, with 4 Grand Prix riders, had the chance to secure a place among the Play Off teams, but lost for the fifth time in a row, as Elit Vetlanda won the derby clash by four points. The home side could have gotten off to a good start with a maximum in heat 1, which looked far from unrealistic, but Bjerre's touch/tape exclusion put league leading Elit Vetlanda in the driver's seat for almost the entire meeting, with Dackarna fighting from the back.
As Patrick Hougaard and Jaroslaw Hampel beat Kenneth Bjerre for a maximum in heat 11, that was the start of Dackarna's downfall in this one. Jason Crump and Jaroslaw Hampel took two heat victories each for the visitors in the five remaining heats, and Dackarna couldn't come close enough to take a point. Crump's second of those victories, in the final heat, was a beauty as it looked like the leading Hans Andersen would be able to take Crump wide to make way for Freddie Lindgren on the inside for a needed maximum, but Crump turned Andersen inside-out and just turned to the inside line for the pass, and the win. A class move!
Dackarna (home) 46 (87)
1. Kenneth Bjerre T/T-1*-1-2-1* = 5+2 (5)
2. Hans Andersen 3-3-2-1*-1-2 = 12+1 (6)
3. Fredrik Lindgren 2-1-3-3-1* = 10+1 (5)
4. Krzysztof Buczkowski 0-0-N-N = 0 (2)
5. Andreas Jonsson 3-3-2-1*-2 = 11+1 (5)
6. Nicolai Klindt 0-0-N-0-2 = 2 (4)
7. Ludvig Lindgren 2-0-2*-1-0-1* = 6+2 (6)
8. Niklas Larsson
Elit Vetlanda (away) 50 (105)
1. Lee Richardson 2-3-2-2-0 = 9 (5)
2. Sebastian Aldén 1*-2*-1*-0-0 = 4+3 (5)
3. Jason Crump 3-3-3-0-3 = 12 (5)
4. Jurica Pavlic 1-0-N-N = 1 (2)
5. Jaroslaw Hampel 2-0-2*-3-3 = 10+1 (5)
6. Patrick Hougaard 1-1-3-3-0 = 8 (5)
7. Thomas H Jonasson 3-1*-0-2-0 = 6+1 (5)
8. Robin Aspegren
For Dackarna,
Bjerre was a let down after being red hot for quite a while, his touch/tape exclusion proved very costly. Andersen was very good, always in the thick of it and deserved it all. (Fredrik) Lindgren started very poor, and improved after the interval, but I was surprised to see him score a paid eleven. Buczkowski was too slow, simple as that. Jonsson made an excellent pass in his first, but had no answers to the away team's star riders after the interval. Klindt, a late replacement for Grzegorz Zengota, was poor. (Ludvig) Lindgren did more than his share of the job, rode better and scored more than he was expected to IMO.
For Elit Vetlanda,
Richardson was solid, had a good middle part of the meeting. Aldén didn't disappoint as a second string and even when he didn't score, he wasn't far off the home GP riders. Crump surprisingly finished last in heat 14, just like in the semifinal against Dackarna last fall. Made some enormous gates in his other heats and was untrouble. Pavlic had a good first one, got taken wide on the opening bends in his second, so it's hard to judge him. Hampel had his mandatory dud heat (his second), but otherwise a great effort. Hougaard started slow (in his first visit to the track?) but improved, and I was surprised not to see him in heat 15. Jonasson was OK, but lost too many points, despite putting himself in good positions thanks to good gating.
Man of the match: Jaroslaw Hampel
