sportowefakty usually does heat times as well from all the matches in poland.

All you hyping Prague, is the taxi situation improved? As I've been ripped off a few times and it used to be a common problem that the numbers on their meters went so fast you could not even follow them...

I'll take all the fun out of this one by saying that BSI is not even mentioned.

Well it was after all in the most contaminated sea there is! Itämeri in Finnish, Baltic sea in English.

I visited the Wasa museet a year ago and remember there being talks of closing it, as the ship cant "take the weather" anymore and has started to combust or something like that. Must be some info online if you google it. But anyway, visit it now.

Hope thats quali group 1!

Only two weeks ago I was told that speedway is the cheapest motorcycle sport and probably the only one where there's a chance of income early on. The guy is a former world #3 in iceracing and heavily involved in the trade. Because speedway is an international sport, you cant IMO standardise equipment in one league of many. So I'd forget that. Lack of riders create's problems, so going to smaller teams would be a good, yet short time fix.

What ever needs to be done to change the direction of speedway in the uk, I wont be involved after a short interview with Peter Gregory from the ACU last night. Finland has 5 teams in one league and I could spend 20hrs a week easily to work for their benefit. Just need compensation for spent time. You lot have three or four leagues with 30 odd teams and still cant create a package that could support any single individual to work full time to sort the mess that the sport is.

Last year Sweden won the SWC and the following tuesday Hancock lost his plot with NickiP. It was all over Swedish press. I mean everywhere. With a bit of planning it could easily have been transferred to a story that "controversy in sport where Sweden is currently world #1".And by easily I mean by a pro media people.

Gdansk has been on scheduled for months, Pardubice a few weeks.

Thats when the flight leave's. Too late. Anyway, even with beverages and good company the roughly 80-90 heats of speedway in three days is enough.

What time does Prague meeting start? Also seen some posts about a 250cc jawa cup during the weekend.

But with no funding, no team. Looks better for next year though. Early talks, early doors but there's a chance U21 team could be back.

And when he actually held on it, he was injured in that as well... LOL Had Pedersen not let the bike go in the Milik incident he'd still be collecting bits of his collarbone at the track having been highsided big time.

Very correct. Also I was there in the press conference after the Challenge in Vetlanda and Prota had every intention to ride in the SGP having claimed his spot in that meeting. Rule's changed and so did his decision.

What I meant. But BSI dont pay it, FIM pays the prize money. Dont really know what the situation really is, but with a basic flaw in the story like this just makes me want to turn my back on the whole subject. Also, a huge part why Protasiewicz declined his spot in the SGP was the rule change that only one SGP rider per team was allowed in Poland. So he had to choose between riding in the Ekstraliga or SGP...

FIM pays points money and Gollob dropped out after losing his Monster contract. Not saying it's all roses in the SGP.

You need to start saving notes to drink in Sweden.

Any FMN thats a member of FIM. Timo Lahti the latest proof, that I know of.

No, but you wont get a direct seed to it for a few years...

I watched a meeting from 1983 last sat. Though it was "just" a Finnish individual meeting, it had Kai Niemi, Olli Tyrväinen, Ari Koponen, Juha Moksunen and a few others. They messed about with the tapes and always someone got a HUGE flyer and off he went to win the heat. BOOOOORING!

Guessing there are no news, but is there any gossip around this?

There's only one category of international ref's and that FIM. Some just never reach world championship level but stay on (for example) European/continental level. I checked this.

He still needs a FMN license. And it was a FIM Europe event. Not totally sure if you can get just FIM Europe ref license, but Varkaus most certainly "only" got a FIM Europe track license.

Because basically ACU does.
