Yes but no... Speedway is a European sport from March to October. Russians are already here. Also the Russian border is a bit iffy with checks and riders have been denied access to Russia with their bikes. Last season many riders flew to the GP challenge and rode with rented bikes because the logistics are difficult mid season when you need to ride in France the day after... And no, its not the same in ice racing. I understand but I dont... Finland is in Europe but we dont normally want to travel to Macon, Manchester or Krsko for the qualifiers because of the cost involved. Thats where our allocations usually are...

His name was already in one of the SR’s for the international meetings arranged at Hallstavik this season... It’s been about 20 years since I first saw him ride at Pori in the Nordic final...

Why would Lambert get a full season wild card? Only reason for that is to fill the GB quota and U already have TW.

Think it was the Golden Helmet final that was supposed to determine the qp quali riders. With the meeting in Poznan never happening due to a safety issue with the track, the PZM allocated the top semi finalists to the qualies. Most top riders were seeded to the final, never rode so didnt get slots either...

Winning a meeting with 11 points dont happen everyday. Anyone remember a winning total less than 11?

But did they know? Preliminary calendars havent been published for years now, because there arent organisers to choose from but they need to be tracked\bought if needed. I dont have the papers here with me now so cant check.

who you EDIT: needed a dictionary for that fancy word. Finland was asked but we declined. Back last september when this needed to be decided we had a good team with Lahti, Aarnio, Lunna and JMustonen. Realistically speaking it was about the colour of the medal we would get from the final. Then the final was put on a mid week date to Balakovo to clash with Elit playoffs, Lunna quit the sport, Aarnio out with injury and not that it matters anymore but I believe Mustonen declined the trip now. Had they qualified, I believe we’d be there. But now to send u21’s to the other side of the world to eat dirt dont sound sensible.

The answer is that it’s a 21,5 hour drive from Tallinn EE to the track. But then again... According to the rules Timo is only fourth reserve and the only reason we are having this discussion is because you posted the line-up and I found out about it. Then the Finnish team manager found out about it and then Timo found out about it... Thats how CCP runs speedway.

What are the odd’s for Lambert to retire mid-meeting tonight, withdraw hinself from Horican and Holder riding instead... Any takers? I mean he broke his back three weeks ago!!!

People with power know how to play the game...

My grapewine said yesterday

Any news on Lambert regarding the injury and his riding in this?

We knew it!

Have no clue about this saturday, but I remember the last time they held a Challenge I watched it live via a stream.

Thanks.

U sure about Lahti? I spoke with someone who should know and we agree that after the qualis Tipu was 4th in the row. Now you say he’s 1st... EDIT: it was on the FIM website.

Only two meetings but 46 or 47 heats in a day... U21 Team Cup in Pardu followed by GP quali in Divisov direct after... and only about ten years ago

Watched this through Esport player. Ermolenko really wasnt as bad as people on here say.

Me too... basically all the interviews are set up so people need to hype OnesSport

Isnt this lady doing the interviews somehow connected to Konikiewicz, mr OneSport? ”what can you say about OneSport”

Thank you

Are there any small rivers for this on? Timo Lahti was the last in line on the announced series reserve list so its either the 1st meeting reserve or who ever can take the rides...

I was out with my wife and she mentioned many times during the evening that I spend too much time on the phone. So instead of using 20 mins trying to find updates I asked here and got info I relied on... There was updates though by the local photo guy Wojta...

Thanks for the help. I read somewhere that Martin who does most meetings from that area was abroad watching rainoffs so I had no idea.
