There have already been ominous noises from Marcin Majewski, head of speedway presenting at Canal+ in Poland, who said yesterday that, in his opinion, Russians should not be allowed to participate in Polish leagues this season.

This article published last night in the NL Times gives details of the loosening of restrictions in the Netherlands over the coming weeks: https://nltimes.nl/2022/02/15/full-list-coronavirus-restrictions-changes-february-2022

Information about Nikita Toloknov, again from Anton Terebenin: "Nikita has a shattered foot. The doctors operated and did everything they could to save it. Nikita is now in a regular ward. It will take a very long time to recover."

Information about Ivan Khuzhin, injured yesterday, directly from Anton Terebenin who supplied the live links on both days: "Vanya Khuzhin was seriously injured in the race yesterday. He's in intensive care now.... He had an operation. The operation ended successfully. Vanya lost a lot of blood. He remains in the ICU for the time being. Unconscious. Now everything depends on him... We believe in you, Vanya! You're strong, get well soon, our friend!"

Date has been changed to Friday 25th March at 1700 Polish time, and the first four riders announced are: Patryk Dudek, Bartosz Zmarzlik, Dominik Kubera and Szymon Woźniak.

Anton has posted to say he's not able to stream this weekend, so it'll be an Ufa based stream only. Anton has to do repairs to his car ahead of meetings coming up over the next few weeks.

Hi Jarekosc, I live in Scotland but I'm a big Leszno fan - see my car plate in the picture - and I'll be driving over to Leszno at Easter for their first meeting v Gorzów.

I also believe that despite a lot of negative commenting from within Poland, TVP will up their game for this, especially if it's being sold on to other nations.

Neither can I. I don't remember anything being announced about it.

Correct Bavarian, which is also where the training video I posted above is from. Nice looking circuit.

Also found the image below, showing Swedish fixtures - but apparently these were to be confirmed.

https://youtu.be/X27opQmD-ig This link from Sweden shows a training camp held on 12th December which is also worth watching.

If you are on Facebook, here's some practicing from Finland on 02.01 via this link: https://fb.watch/aknAG7g67S/

Sweden's teams and schedule is at the bottom of this article : (first meeting 06.01) https://www.speedwaynews.pl/aktualnosci/item/76567-szwedzkie-druzyny-zaprezentowaly-pelne-sklady-na-sezon-2022?fbclid=IwAR2K91-HNGMElYn3bzA06t47KE5i-ltUoH4u7uIkcRexuxtQzXJBX_IuCpA I saw something about Finland last week, if I re-find it I'll post it too.

Gdańsk is easy to get out of and drive down to Bydgoszcz/ Grudziądz and Toruń from. Toruń doesn't have an airport.

They won't announce them until about a couple of weeks before. This is unfortunate as I had hoped to do exactly as you are planning. TV decides who gets which time and day. The August 5-7 weekend has Grudziądz and Toruń at home and I had hoped that Bydgoszcz might be too. But that'll only happen if we are lucky, and that Bydgoszcz make the playoffs and get awarded a home fixture...I'm going that weekend and just keeping my fingers crossed!

https://speedwayteams2022.blogspot.com/ I've created the above which has all known squads for all Continental European Speedway nations (note - UK is NOT included) as at present. It also features all known fixtures for 2022. This is not meant to be in any way a rival to the stellar work done by R&R, it's simply another option for people to have.
