Great photos Weter.How many fans were at the meeting?And do you knwo if any meetings will be live on the internet this season,like the World Championship meetings from Ufa last season?

What temperatures have you in Finland then? Just look at the highest mountain in North Germany and it has 53cm of snow and temperature at the moment -8° Brocken We have +1° in Hamburg

Not really worth much though is it.I mean i guess the way it is done is to tot each riders world ranking points up.Plus i guess the best possible team is chosen rather than the most often used team.Look at Slangerup.Much better than Danish Champions Holsted for instance!Plus look at the National teams and Australia are top rather than the team most feel is the best,Denmark who are third.Not very keen on these things as you might guess

Like you say no big surprises.Baltachev doing well on his home track.Didn't do too bad last year in the World Championship and might improve this year.Good to see Bulankin still mixing it with the best.And in Shadrink,Arkhipov,Krysov and i think it was the Khomitsevitch and Ivanov brothers team mate at Togliatti,Karachintsev who Bahnsport refered to as the new shooting star.Well he only just made it through,but he is there

Correct me if i am wrong but the Sidecar blokes were already in Oz or not?They didn't and i suspect wouldn't fly out to ride in the qualifying round unless gauranteed lots of money or meetings.You wouldn't expect Screen,Lindgren or anyone else to do the same.So the situation isn't comparable i suspect

A few important dates on the Danish calendar from Nicolai Klindts web-site.Not sure if they are 100% confirmed.PeterS? Danish Final 1 06.05 Holsted Danish Final 2 08.08 Outrup Danish U21 Final 17.08 Fjelsted

I hope Nicki goes on to retain the title.Quite possible he will,but like i said last year about Crump,it doesn't always work like that.If Nicki doesn't do it i think it will be a complete outsider rather than Crump or Adams.My bet would be Jonsson

Well i will be surprised if 9 teams are in the Bundesliga.I don't know where they will find another 10 German riders from?And it is not just 10,but they need to have a couple of good standard riders as well as juniors.Maybe Robbie Kessler is one option and maybe Polish riders riding as Germans i.e Sekula.Thought i saw that Szombierski was thinking of riding as a German

Stralsund and Wolfslake are back in the Bundesliga

Line-up for Flims has been announced.A few new names on the list.And the Polish riders are getting a few meetings in this season,what with the Swedish league and these open meetings Flims

That is the question i think a lot of people will ask.The cynical view after what happened with Robert Barth(it was reported that for instance he had to pay his own way into the SWC quali he was managing at!)is they have gone for a youngster who won't make waves.He will get an early chance to put his skills to use as Germany meet Denmark,Croatia and France here in an U19 team qualifier.So at least he will be older than the riders in the team

Well they can judge for themselves René Schäfer

Well like i say he is still riding himself.Think he was a promising rider at one stage but hasn't really progressed much over the past few years.Seems like he has been acting as a youth development officer for the German authorities.Looked after the school age riders,but this is a very big step.Maybe Herman knows more about him than me.But like i say took me by surprise and i wonder how the riders like Smoli and Tobi Kroner feel about it as they have more experience than their manager
