It has been reported that Ryan Fisher was unable to obtain a travel visa for Russia in time and has therefore withdrawn from Togliatti also.

 

Noticed that Legault has been listed for all three of Newport's fixtures for 2/7 - 4/7 :unsure:

Can't see a GP qualifer taking place in Russia again.

IMO this meeting was a test to see if a Russian GP is a possibility. With the strong Russian showing in the U21's and Sayfutdinov a genuine challenger GP's, the Russian nation looks to be the up and coming force in world speedway.

This meeting could well be the first of many to be held in Russia, the European riders will have to accept the problems that come with riding there. Other competitors in other sports can do it.

But which other sports have the competitor traveling overland in a van with 3 motorbikes in the back. Dont see formula 1 or moto gp rushing (no pun intended) to stage races there

If you race in GB, Sweden and Poland, theres no way you can send your Passport off in time to get a visa. Most riders won't even let go of their passport when they sleep! The logistics are another problem, but most riders were willing to do it, even if they were going to miss meetings before and after. But the VISA issue is the stumbling block here.

If the FIM want to stage such meetings in Russia, then they will have to be more proactive in the organisation - seem to remember lots of question marks over the Champions League final a couple of seasons ago, but Uefa sorted them out easily enough. The FIM just seem to want to allocate meetings and then leave it to everyone involved to manage it themselves. For a GP, BSI Speedway would presumably sort everything out for the FIM.

You don't need to send your passport to get a visa for Russia. The embassy in London or Edinburgh will process a visa in a day.

The paper work is a problem but in the last few years the MFR has become a lot better in solving the 'red tape' troubles
