Theo Di Palma failed to turnup according to speedwaylive. So that means that Jeffrey Woortman will race (if he's there.......).

Well if he's there... I hope he'll get a ride lol.. 1600km drive from The Netherlands .

Jeffrey Woortman as first reserve? You sure?

Oh well, I've just copied it from the FIM Press release lol . In The Netherlands we only got 2 riders who might be able to score a single point (Jannick de Jong and Henk Bos), it's such a shame that the Dutch Federation isn't working harder to train Dutch rider of even run more meetings. It's all about money... and it looks like they don't want to invest in Speedway, and that's a big shame.
