Ha ha.....i will try and stick a tour of the Pilsner Brewery on the itinery lol.Actually regreting saying yes to this now as i saw that there is a Denmark v Sweden 80cc test at Vojens on monday....i was thinking hard about how i could postpone the holiday for 24 hours lol At least a beer + speedway holiday in CZ sounds better than some botanical holiday in Italy ha ha

Sure i saw two Finns listed yesterday.As i am off to Czecho monday i was thinking of going via Abensberg...but probably can't persuade my girlfriend to do that.It will be enough to do Divisov for the Czech U21s lol

Talking about how to spell riders names,i hope this guy doesn't have "Noses" spelt just above his buttocks !!!!!

Not sure how we got on to how he himself spells it.So long as different countries decide to spell it differently,i thought it reasonable to point out.We can also get it spelt Loktajew in Germany as they normally replace "v" with "W".I would though say that once a rider does decide to spell it one way then maybe countries should all stick to a standard spelling

Danmed right.But i guess if some get confused with Mikkel Bech and Mikkel B.Jensen,they might not know that.So i thought it best to point it out as i would have thought Mikkel B was more well known in England than Loktaev lol Damned...i meant,damned!

Just to point out that Lokajev is the same rider that is also known as Loktaev or Loktajev

Think this is the latest line-up-

Denmark and the danes are confusing lol.I agree.Can't see how he is going to be confused with Mikkel Michelsen and anyway he hasn't changed his first name which is the thing he has in common with Michelsen.Even one texter the other day was getting confused though and writing Mikkelsen,which could be confusing because there is a young rider called Mikkelsen.Think his first name is Thomas though??? We did have the confusing problem of two Jesper Kristiansens.One eventually became Jesper S.Kristiansen and then totally dropped the Kristiansen and became overnight Jesper Sögaard!!And one of the kanalsport commentators told me he wondered who the hell Kenni Larsen was riding in England as in Denmark he went under Kenni Arendt. In Denmark Kenneth Hansen goes under the name Kenneth Kruse Hansen and i think it must be one of his family is Kenni Kruse...But it is not only the riders that could confuse,but the teams as well.I saw Brovst win on saturday it was on their race jackets,but in the programme(ok racecard,but i didn't want to mention that lol)they were named as Bogense Motor Klub!!!Last season i remember seeing Glumsö win a meeting,but if you looked on the official card they were Midtsjaellands,etc....

Report on yesterdays meeting in Vojens.Last heat decider with Brovst rider Steen Jensen unbeaten and Holsteds Rasmus Jensen getting 17 points.But for me the story within the story was our member Peter S' son getting 10+3 just a few weeks after having his first 500cc meeting.I have known them both for a number of years now and it is always a pleasure to see them,so it was great to see the team get such a super result and all the hard effort paying off.I know Peter told me before the meeting he thought it would be very tough as most had far more experience.So they both made the longish journey back home very happy i think.Few of my pic accompany the report http://www.holsted-speedway.dk/nyheder/afgorelse+i+sidste+heat_288/

It might also be worth having a limit on any nations numbers getting through.It does seem ridiculous that all the qualifiers from 1 round can come from one country!!!We have seen limits in other competitions.It is unfair that you can meet one rider two times and a weaker rider not at all in this situation.But really all riders should know that before the start.....bad news for Finland of course.Sweden also surprisingly weak.Well at least expected Thörnblom to do better

What has happened with Gaschka at Rzeszow?Is he still there or farmed/kicked out?Was surprised he got in the team in the first place.Saw his younger brother riding the other week.Guess if he shows any promise when he gets older(he is showing promise at this stage)he will also take the step over to Poland.Was also a youngster of about 7 with a Bydgoszcz jacket riding haha

Good for him.Of course it is unfair to meet one rider twice and he also is right that it could be that the last heat is on paper his easiest.He could also be excluded or fall even if it is an easy heat.That is what gets me though with the Longtrack.I look sometimes at the scores and often two riders meet each other twice whilst not meeting another in the qualifiers before the semi's..... Not only the losers complaining.One of the riders who has made it through has stated he hopes he never has to go to Ukraine again!!! Well he should think himself lucky he doesn't have the trip to Argentina haha Also would like to say it was a promising performance from the two Brits.Howarth a but unlucky maybe,but Adam Ellis i thought got a very good result for someone so young and relatively new to the scene.Could have a couple of riders who at least have continental experience if Robert Lambert developes the way many hope.

Well it is Italy.....it could be any time you want it to be !!!!

We used to have an Italian forum member,but he hasn't been around for a few years now.Rene Deddens did mention that cameras were there and thought there would be a stream.Maybe the meeting will turn up somewhere if not live

I see the former shooting star (i think he was billed as in Güstrow all those years ago)Charlie Möller is making a comeback.Talking to the Holsted boss today in Vojens, he got in contact a day too late for this mornings meeting,but hopes to line up for Holsted in the future.Will be interesting to see how this comeback goes after nearly 10 years out of the sport

Yes,we already had this discussion.I said you are Danish in the summer,Swedish in the winter and german for Eurovision Song Contest and other stuff ;-)))) But see i knew you would come up with the info about the Riss Bros.Honestly these guys are all experts on the Danes,so it isn't really that great to tell anyone how they will do,but the Riss brothers are a bit of an unknown quantity to most on here,so it would be interesting to hear how someone who has seen them thinks they will do.As for René,well i would like to see him do well but i can't quite see that happening.He hasn't got back to the level he was before he took a break from the sport.

Definitely Gerd's sons.Not sure if they are twins.I have only seen one of them in Pardubice Zlata Stuha last year

Jacqueline is from Germany.Maybe you should ask her how many of them will get through ha ha Living not far from Riss country maybe she will tell us how she thinks they will do?Be interesting to see

Think i am right in saying Kevin Teager has moved to germany and is still riding on grass or longtrack

All joking aside this looks like it could be a good meeting and it is always good to see test matches of some sort still on the fixture list.I noticed the other day a test in Prague listed for August CZ v Poland.Looking on TMW's site i can't see any previous recent test,so it is hard to judge.Doubt though it will be a full Poland side as they would surely spank CZ.But interesting all the same and might be one i would travel to see

Don't go to Dublin either.Entirely different country.Although you might still have a great time ha ha

Well the two nearest teams to me then.Just a matter of finding the time.But i like both tracks.Proper 80cc tracks with a fence rather than just in the middle of the 500cc.Just my preference of course.They all do the job of letting the kids learn

Sounds good-Oh and i noticed the other day .....Ahlbom is riding for Vojens,if you hadn't already found out

Not uptight at all.Just i think we have heard "It is too early to talk about..." with the Sky deal hahaha

Thought there would be a longer report on your visit to one of the speedway outposts!!! What is the scene like?The track?What sort of youth development have they got going on there?Many riders?What classes do they have?80cc or 125cc?
