Got to agree, conspicuious by his absence. Unless he is still having problems with the injury he picked up that forced his withdrawal in Berlin last year?

Jurgen used to have her in the pits with him in the early 2000s when she was a baby before meetings. If she is half as good as her dad then she will do well!

FIM TV coverage of Shadrinsk now available

From what Jesper wrote on his live updates, the title was decided on this race. hence the points scoring giving the winner more points than the others if his team mate finished last. But in Ice Racing, the Russians are not going to let that happen. It looks like they've taken a successful format and completely turned it on its head. If you look at it that there were 73 points on offer, and Russia took all of them......

From what I can gather the ice in Moscow Region was breaking up during the meeting even though it well in the minuses, and general comments around Ufa was that it wasn't the best track they've had. Sorry I didn't post these sooner but didn't get them all until late Sunday.

Thanks to Jesper https://www.baansportfansite.nl for the live results. I'm still waiting for the results of the first day of the European Final, as there doesn't appear to be a decent stream or live results today. I'm also struggling to find results for the Major League in Lukhovitsy. I'll post them as soon as I have them, probably after I've snapped Warrington v Hednesford this afternoon!

Has Franky decided against riding this weekend due to injury?

Good start to the series for Haarahiltunen, and good to see 'Eis-Hans' Weber in the top 8 two days running.

Jesper has put up the live links, and if the FIM update their app in time, then the results should be on there Its also the Russian Junior Team Championship in Togliatti this weekend, so if there is a live feed I'll try and post it.
