The Dubai date has been known since April. Thats not even news.

Having now supervised a fence build (nearly finished) to a speedway track and been in charge of all the purchases, I could easily be tempted to fly to Dubai and get it sorted. I could fly out on monday, do they acquire a visa? That dont change what I think about WSL as a competition though, but if money talks, fsp walks...

FIM ccp meets on Nov 11th (???) to discuss calendars and allocations. After that it should leak out who applied what and who rides where.

A Shield's... = )

2016 Timo Lahti and some Romanian brothers named Gheorghe, that I know of. 2015 Timo Lahti, Rasmus Jensen and the said brothers. Previously Adam Shields I'm told did this.

riders with a svemo license.

Andorra

Probably the blue one! I read it in a Finnish daily paper, wasn't there...

Kalle Palander once had to get out of bed to open the door for the testers, still having a boner.

Seinäjoki FI

So Milik had declined then. This one I can sort of understand.

Joonas Kylmäkorpi saying on Twitter that he'll be testing a new GM soon that is supposed to last as long as GTR. Or longer. What ever, but aimed to decrease the service bill during a year.

Nothing surprises me anymore, but Lunna withdrew himself at the start of the week. And not just by saying "I'm not riding" on Facebook. Beats me why his name was still on the list on sportowefakty 15 mins ago.

Lindback out with minutes, why no reserve?

I'll just decline that call for any discussion of things before my time. = ) But I do say this, that after following speedway press for almost 15 years in Swedish, English, occasionally in German and creating some in Finnish, the Swede's (journo's) are the most eager to create a fuss. They have no intentions of holding back, every small thing is created to a huge piece of news. English press is much more polite and Germans are in between, closer to Sweden though. In Finland the "big"/national press just dont dont care. So just being envious here, I guess.

This is also discussed in the Elite section, but as I see it as a done deal. Only read the first page. Cant see this happening.

Smilies ghostie, SMILIES! Though 6 months on your side of the Baltic would most certainly brush up my Swedish enough and give me the chance of writing a similar story, but with checked facts. I'm quite pedantic with stuff like that.

You calling me lazy for not checking, just quoting?? :lol:

No Lunna, out injured.

It says in Swedish press that it was the 3rd highest ever in Elitserien. #1 was a final between Masarna and someone with 12k+ and 2nd was think the return leg of the same meeting with 9k+. So yes, pretty decent.

So now after you've slept on what you wrote last evevning, you think this "ban" is actually gonna happen?

That was a rumour said to originate from a CCP congress and it surfaced in Poland from a Polish source. Was it ever a genuine proposal or thought of the CCP, I dont know. I hope not.

Was sent

You are right. My third in a row so I'll quit commenting on rules 'till I've read the new ones...

I believe the rule currently states that top3 from the challenge qualifies, nothing else.
