SAME AGAIN FOR SWC FINAL
Poland join their rivals in naming an unchanged side for the FIM PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna Speedway World Cup Final as they bid to win a third straight gold medal in Gorzow on Saturday.The tournament favourites brought young guns Maciej Janowski and Przemyslaw Pawlicki to the practice session at the Edward Jancarz Stadium this afternoon.But they have opted to keep faith with world champion Tomasz Gollob, world No.2 Jaroslaw Hampel, in-form Piotr Protasiewicz, SGP star Janusz Kolodziej and Krzysztof Kasprzak, who scored a 15-point maximum in Event Two at King's Lynn on Monday.Poland - the only side which launched their campaign at King's Lynn and made it to the SWC Final - don blue helmet colours for the meeting.Denmark earned their spot in the showcase after winning Event One at Vojens ahead of Sweden and Australia at Vojens last Saturday.So it was no surprise that team manager Anders Secher has stuck with three-time world champion Nicki Pedersen, Danish champion Kenneth Bjerre, former SGP stars Bjarne Pedersen and Niels-Kristian Iversen and Mads Korneliussen, who registered 12 points on his SWC debut last Saturday.Nicolai Klindt also practiced but didn't make the Danish team, who wear red helmets.Australian boss Craig Boyce has remained loyal to the five riders who stormed to victory in Thursday night's Race-Off at Gorzow.Three-time world champion Jason Crump, Aussie champion Chris Holder, World Under-21 champion Darcy Ward and Race-Off top scorer Troy Batchelor all line-up for the men from Down Under, who ride in white. Davey Watt got the nod over Rory Schlein, who also had a spin at the Edward Jancarz Stadium.Sweden, who ride in yellow, complete the SWC Final field after finishing second in the Race-Off. Freddie Lindgren and Jonas Davidsson both practiced ahead of the meeting after struggling to hit their best form on Thursday, when they recorded four and six points respectively.Andreas Jonsson, Antonio Lindback and Thomas H Jonasson all opted out of the session, and manager Bo Wirebrand will hope they gained enough Gorzow track time in the Race-Off to inspire their country to what would be a surprise victory.The referee for the meeting is Britain's Jim Lawrence, who also took charge of the Race-Off.SWC FINAL LINE-UPSDENMARK (RED):1.
