Seems that Zorn also had issues and could only pick-up his visa today. He is on a plane to Russia now. His equipment will be driving to Togliatti by other riders. So looks like an issue with Austrian embassy. Iwema had no issues and collected his visa last friday at the embassy in The Hague. Hutla has already arrived in Togliatti. Weber is practising in Kamensk today, and Mayerbuchler will fly to Russia and rent a local bike. The Swedes & Finns are on their way.

Simon is out for Togliatti. He can't get visa in time.

Inzell cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions.

We only do live updates on Baansportfansite.nl indeed Streaming is history due to other priorities on our duties at events.

Weissenbach announced a few weeks ago they wanted to run a meeting in January, haven't seen any info since. They have cold nights it seems. Czech federation gave up on planning a calendar in front, but will run meetings when it gets cold enough.

They had three little tractors this year. Big improvement of last year, but they have to add more to speed it up a little. Crazy amount of crashes also realy dragged the meeting. Only half of the field had some practice in either Sweden or Russia, and riders where clearly a little rusty. Nice weekend though in Tomaszow Russian season will kick-off next weekend in Kamensk Uralsky, and Hans Weber will be the only non-Russian competing and is now on his way. Talking to most of the non-Rusians it seems that most will head to Sweden for practice, and also competing in the Swedish league meetings in January.

There will be multiple changes to the proposed lineup above. No Brit, no Swiss. Holland, Czechia and Sweden got a extra place.
