2022 FIM Long Track
Bavarian replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in Grasstrack, Sidecar, Short Track and Cycle Speedway
The F.I.M. has done a race coverage deal for the 2022 World Long-Track Championship with the UK based TAPES UP PRODUCTION company https://fim-longtrack.com/new-race-coverage-deal-for-fim-long-track/ -
I read somewhere that Germany will be in the semi-final in Norway, replacing Denmark, who are already qualified for the final. It would make sense if it is Norway v Sweden v Latvia v Germany in the second semi-final at Elgane, and only the winning team qualifies for the final. Poland and Denmark are seeded, and Great Britian qualified as the winners of SF1.

GRAND PRIX CHALLENGE
Bavarian replied to spiegal's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I did not ask him what exactly was teh problem for him to get a UK work permit. Perhaps there was just no other club interested to sign him this year, after he was left out at Berwick, I don't know. There is of course no longer an Austrian championship, with only Gappmaier and junior rider Seb Kössler as the only remaining Austrian speedway riders. Dany told me that he intends to keep on riding speedway fro many more years, but jokingly said it would be time to retire for him as soon as he gets beaten by an other Austrian. Not not much danger of that to happen anytime soon. -
GRAND PRIX CHALLENGE
Bavarian replied to spiegal's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I was attending the official practise session at Abensberg yesterday, but there were only five riders taking part, so it was all over in about 20 minutes. The riders were Chris Holder, Dany Gappmaier, Glenn Moi, Sandro Wassermann, and George Congreve. Congreve is very nice and friendly person, with a smooth style of racing, but his bikes looked to be not quite as fast as those of the top riders. Dany Gappmaier told me that he would love to return to the UK. He wants to continue racing in the league there, and said that he never intended to stop racing in the UK, but was forced to due to BREXIT as he now needs a work permit, which he seemingly has trouble to qualify for. Here You can see pictures of yesterday's training session https://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/2238/fotoreportage-training-speedway-gp-kwalificatie-in-abensberg -
Yes, she can ride a bike, and I even think she will score a point or two tonight, but she is not really good enough to be in this SGP 2 series, considering others like Tom Brennan, Hellstrom-Bangs etc. do not get the chance. Even over here in Germany, no one really understands why she got the wildcard ahead of a much faster Norick Blodorn. It is only because she is a girl.

Speedway On Tv And The Internet In 2024
Bavarian replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Yes, that's true, but the German GP at Teterow will be the only SGP that is show live on German EUROSPORT this year. No much to create a better awareness of the sport in our country. The rest of the SGP series and the SGP2 events wil only be available via the EURSPORT PLAYER. Personally, I think DISCOVERY make a mistake to show the German GP live on Free TV, because that is the one our fans could travel to and attend most easily. It would make more sense if they'd show any or all of the foreing SGPs rather than our domestic one. I fear that it will affect the attendance at Teterow. -

Germany won because Erik Riss won the final race. -

Not in Germany. It is French Open Tennis and a little bit of Cycling in between, but norhting else on Eursport 1 or Eurosport 2 here in Germany. The Speedway GP and GP2 here are only available via the EUROSPORT PLAYER.
