The H Man Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 sometime shortly after 2.30pm the teams and positions should be announced-first on speedwayworld.tv It's on speedwayworld.tv now. What's going on with the Rusky's they only have 4 riders, is Emil S (won't even try and spell it) injured? as Darkin named though not riding weird? riding order changed for GB as well.

tigerblues Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Please note that although Sergey Darkin has been named in the team, he will not ride and the Russian's have not been able to replace him. So what goes on with that? Russians don't have a rider in Darkin's races? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subedei Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Please note that although Sergey Darkin has been named in the team, he will not ride and the Russian's have not been able to replace him. So what goes on with that? Russians don't have a rider in Darkin's races? Yes, except of course that they ought to be permanently six points adrift of the leader after the first five heats, so they'll be able to cover his remaining four rides with the existing riders as tactical substitutes. As for Sajfutdinov, he's on his way to Croatia for the Under-21 semi-final that the FIM have stupidly scheduled for Saturday.

Guest chris26 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 So what goes on with that? Russians don't have a rider in Darkin's races? i guess that if the russians go 6 down, they can bring the other 4 riders in place to cover for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Please note that although Sergey Darkin has been named in the team, he will not ride and the Russian's have not been able to replace him. So what goes on with that? Russians don't have a rider in Darkin's races? I'll have a guess.........no rider until 6pts behind, then they can use a tactical sub. That's probably rubbish but it's a stab in the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazzman Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 The FIM have managed to directly interfere with one of their flagship events in Speedway. There's 2 or 3 Russki lads doing practice lads around Gorican today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottymelloty Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 So in heat 2 they will have no rider but next heat is Heat 10 so will be able to cover him from then on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, realistically, they'll probably be six points behind everyone by then. Going to be a tough night for the Russians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
