Surely there is no such thing as a respected journalist,pugwash? And is it true that the finnish swear word translates as "in the restaurant",f-s-p?

I see that our north German rider marian Kreklau has retired from the sport.I heard in Inzell that after the German Championship he sold all his gear.Sadly it is true. M.Kreklau

I wish you good luck Steve in finding a job.The scrapbooks look like the sort of thing that are worth more to you than to someone else imo though.Hope i am wrong or something comes up that means you don't have to sell

Thanks Jesper. No more meetings planned for the Netherlands in this cold weather?

Fotos from day 2 Inzell Must say i was very impressed with Sven Holstein and Günthers boy was really getting down low this time.I heard he was lapping at about 65kmh.Klabo nearly decked the race director when on the presentation he was told to ride clean or the ref would have him out.I heard he did have fisticuffs with someone later on.Stefan looked like he wanted to have a bit of argy-bargy after Klabo had him off 6100 on sat and 5500 on sunday

Günther Bauer has some hard words for his German colleagues...... On yesterdays German Championship he states "It was the easiest Championship i have contested.Either i am so good or the others are so bad.It rode 2 hard laps and when i looked back there was either no-one there or just one rider coming out of the bend" Bauer speaks out And on the topic of the German team at Inzell,Günther says "It doesn't interest me who is alongside me in the team.I would be happier if i was alone in the team."He then goes on in both accounts to say the other German riders performances in the World Championship quali rounds leaves a lot to be desired.But they seem to think by getting a 7th place in a middling quality field in say Steingaden is super Bauer hits out

Maybe you could update those old Roger Johns fans among us on just what he is up to nowadays then?

Live updates also here in 20 mintues or so from Inzell German Championship

Definitely a blow Any translation of this then? JT And any info on who takes his place?

Yes Roger did ride for the Dons in 88 + 89.I didn't have the details on my computer.Just looked in my programmes and these are not official because there were still 3 meetings to ride in 88 But 1988 Wimbledon 26 (7.29) 1989 Wimbledon 30 (7.42)

Here is Rogers record as far as i have: 1970 Eastbourne 1 (2) 1971 Eastbourne 34 (6,89) 1972 Eastbourne 37 (7,24) 1973 Eastbourne 32 (8,59) 1973 Oxford 7 (4,8) 1974 Canterbury 13 (6,93) 1974 Wimbledon 23 (5,45) 1975 Wimbledon 36 (4,4) 1976 Wimbledon 28 (3,91) 1977 Wimbledon 36 (5,46) 1978 Wimbledon 38 (7,82) 1979 Wimbledon 32 (7,89) 1980 Wimbledon 34 (8,22) 1981 Wimbledon 44 (6,94) 1982 Wimbledon 19 (5,37) 1983 Wimbledon 48 (5,18) 1984 Wimbledon 50 (5,69) 1985 Wimbledon 37 (9,64) 1986 Wimbledon 40 (9,25) 1987 Wimbledon 32 (9,02) Not 100% sure on the Ice racing.He was sponsored by Tee Mills i think,who were involved with Ice racing.

Posa continues to amaze.I thought he might struggle this time,but he is right up there again with the Russians

Disappointed in you mate.Where are the results from Russia????I was waiting for you to put them on here as i didn't have much time yesterday.Or should i say i couldn't be bothered But i can only add .....i did an online interview last season with Mark and he was extremely helpful.And having met him in person at Berlin last year he is just as nice in the flesh.As is his son,who was helping out Lukas Rösti(i think)the year before that.Plus i met him again this year in Denmark alongside Manuel Hauzinger.Had a great chat with both.I know Mark put out an offer to any youngsters who fancied taking up the sport that he would help them out in Sweden.Because that is what we really need is one or two guys or gals(why not?)a little bit younger than Mark and Graham to come on the scene.Fantastic performance from Sven Holstein yesterday.Pity we haven't got someone as mad as him coming through

Blimey.Those two are in the wars a bit.I didn't think riders were allowed to ride so soon after losing conciousness??? But shows how tough these guys are. And you have to be careful of the wild animals in the East.We have Wolves and Wild Pigs in the east of Germany.And now the start of a Raccoon Dog invasion from the east as well Raccoon Dog

A new track in Germany held a meeting yesterday.Bauer didn't like the state of the ice and pulled out after practice. Kirchberg am Wald taken from inspeed.de 1.Simon 12p 2.Niedermaier 11p 3.Zmaga 10p 4.Joh.Weber 7p 5.Stellingwerf 7p 6.Kreuzberger 7p 7.Kirchner 7p 8.Gartmann 4p 9.Ebner 4p 10.Fürst 1p 11.Tschatschin 0p Also Bauer and Pletschacher have hit out at the FIM for seeding a Pole and a Dutch rider through to the entire GP series rather than their home meetings.Obviously Pletschacher has a real struggle to get through as it is most likely that in Sanok no Pole will qualify automatically and the Dutch seem to be going the same way.Which will mean 2 riders who should have gone through making way for a rider who maybe finished 14th or so in their quali round Bauer Pletschacher

Good to see that the Russians have been sent to Vojens.Hopefully this time Emil will ride

Tucker Time for Pets A snappy name that tells it like it is

Yes Simon along with Zorn look to be a good bet to finish behind the Russians in Inzell

Well done Arthur

Good performance from Sven Holstein,but just look at the Russian reserves!Each with 5 points.What is going on with the Finns?????And poor from Kreklau

Marian has been down to ride in the Togliatti meeting since at least the 3rd of jan.It was mentioned in an article about his season.Marian Kreklau

And i see you will be in Flims with Roger and Graham.Although looking at the heats you don't meet either of them in a Battle of Britain fight Unless you all make it in to the A or B Final .Would love to be at that one.it always looks very evenly matched.Good luck

If he is joining a team then he would follow instructions i guess.Unless they have told him that Olsen is doing it wrong.In which case i would imagine Ole would go.But that doesn't seem to be the case,so far.Unless he is being brought in to learn the ropes from Ole for when he retires

Yes.I saw the bit of footage from Steingaden on inspeed(youtube it is on)of a heat of franky's and one of Bauers and it was embarrasing how far in front they were after half a lap.I wonder really why the guy bothered to upload those heats.Surely there must have been a better on or two?

Looks that way to me as well.Aakko looks to be with Khomitsevitsch for the first few metres and gives Bauer all the space he needs
