oleoleole Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Looking at the draw for the preliminary rounds of the World Cup it looks like Greg Hancock is going to have to be in two places at the same time!? Saturday 24th May. SWC. Qualifying round 1. Miskolc, Hungary. Teams; Germany, USA, Hungary and Latvia. Saturday 24th May. SGP Gothenburg. Presumably he will be in the GP but that will severely weaken the USA team. Strange planning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzman Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 They did a similar thing last year...where the British GP clashed with Qualifying GP 2009 Round....so someone who could of won the wild card for the British GP would miss it for a qualifer.

iris123 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) Isn't the Miskolc meeting on the 25th? SWC Seems to be down as the 25th on this Hungarian site as well Hungary calendar Edited April 2, 2008 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) I received a press release from the FIM a few days ago with the seeded teams etc for the SWC. According to that the Miskolc Quali is on 24.05.2008. Edited April 2, 2008 by DutchGrasstrack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrow boy Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Looks like it's the race off for GB then along with Sweden, Australia who they will have to beat to get to the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Schumi Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 It's odd because they've actually swapped the teams around (USA were originally meant to qualify on June 29th in the other meeting), but I doubt Greg will have a problem choosing. And I agree, the dates are correct - both on the 24th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandie Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 And Lukas Dryml has a clash with the Cardiff GP and qualifier on the 28th and 29th June Seems stupid that these events are planned over these weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Just had an email from the FIM... Please note that the Qualifying Round 1 in Miskolc (Hungary) will be held on 25/05/2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Looks like they only changed it today though. Or maybe they only got around to telling Dutch about it today Everyone else knew beforehand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Schumi Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) Or maybe they only got around to telling Dutch about it today Everyone else knew beforehand It was originally the 25th, then this appeared on speedwayworld on the 1st: THE draw for the 2008 Speedway World Cup has been made along with details of dates and venues for the qualifying meetings. The qualifying meetings take place at Miskolc, Hungary, on Saturday May 24, and at Ljubljana, Slovenia on Sunday June 29. QUALIFYING ROUND 1 Miskolc, 24.05.08 Germany USA Hungary Latvia And now it looks like it's changed again, for the third time. Edit: or the FIM messed up their press release.

rickmiller Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Meeting is definitely on the 25th - why dont you believe 'DutchGrassTrack'? There was an FIM email circular to all federations last Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an FIM email circular to all federations last Thursday I know, and I do. Was just explaining why there was confusion, if that's okay with you.
