Conkers Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Well seeing as Iris123 and Jacqueline are e-mailing me about Inzell, I booked the first of my trips this morning - ironically to Inzell, and as we are almost in September, so time to look ahead to the Ice Racing season which starts in December. The provisional dates for the Individual World Championship were announced in March, but as that thread has dropped down the order, here they are again: 09/01/2011 FIM Ice Racing WC Q. Round 1, St Johann, Austria 16/01/2011 FIM Ice Racing WC Q. Round 2, Saalfeleden, Austria 21/01/2011 FIM Ice Racing WC Q. Round 3, Sanok, Poland 05-06.02.2011 FIM Ice Racing WC Final 1, Krasnogorsk-Zorkiy-Stadium, Russia 12-13.02.2011 FIM Ice Racing WC Final 2, Togliatti, Russia 12-13.03.2011 FIM Ice Racing WC Final 3, Assen - DeSmelt, Netherlands 26-27-03-2011 FIM Ice Racing WC Final 4, Inzell, Germany I was talking to Referee Dave Dowling at Buxton, who says the new Inzell stadium looks impressive and it's still not finished, so I'm looking forward to that round. The team Final is set to go to Berlin on the last weekend in February, and I am told that there are a group working on a just for TV series to try and raise the sport's profile. As soon as I have other dates I'll post them, but if anyone has any fixtures then please post them. Ron from Eurorider will be running his popular Assen trip as usual, the link is in my signature.

Conkers Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 The Russians are certainly dragging their feet this year regarding dates, but I now have the Leagues and Fixtures: SUPER-LEAGUE 1. Mega-Lada Togliatti 2. Bashkortostan Ufa 3. Kaustic Sterlitamak 4. Moscow Area Lukovitsy 5. Kamensk-Ural 6. Mordovia Saransk 7. Siberia Novosibirsk (promoted) Fixtures: 4-5.12.2010 - R 1 & 2 Novosibirsk 29-30.01.2011 - R 3 & 4 Ufa 19-20.02.2011 - R 5 & ^ Togliatti MAJOR-LEAGUE 1. Torpedo Shadrinsk 2. Leader Tyumen 3. Kuzbass Kemerovo 4. Samara 5. Izhevsk 6. Penza 7. Kemertau Fixtures: 25-26.12.2010 - R 1 & 2 Kemertau 19-20.2.2011 - R 3 & 4 Samara It looks like there will be four new teams this year in the Major League (Div 2) after last year when they had a few "second" teams to make up the number. Siberia Novosibirsk were promoted to the Super League and Saransk have stayed up after the withdrawal of Miner Uchaly. There are some provisional dates for the Russian Championship on the Russian Forum, but these are not yet confirmed, although there is to be training at Novosibisrk, from 22.11.10 to 2.12.2010 They do plan to have an all Russian event in The Far Eastern Amur Region at Blagoveshchenk. These are on 12/13.11.2010 (Blagoveshchenk Mayors Cup) and on 19/20.11.2010 (Amur Governers Cup). They have been arranged so riders who wish to attend training can make it back to Siberia. Blagoveshchenk is actually close to the Chinese Border so the trip is about three days from there to Novosibirsk by road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conkers Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Russian Individual Championship: 11-12/12/2010 - Preliminary Round, Kemerovo 18-19/12/2010 - Semi Finals: Novosibirsk, Kemerovo & Ufa 8-9/1/2011 - Final, Ufa (Provisional) Other Russian Fixtures: 15-16/1/2011 - Cup Of Russia, Izhevsk Junior Team Championship 19-20/2/2011 - Semi Final, Novosibirsk (Teams: Novosibirsk, Saransk, Ufa, Kamensk-Ural, Kemerovo, Penza, Blagoveshchenk Amur) 26-27/2/2011 - Final, Kemertau (Teams: Kemertau (hosts), Shadrinsk (Champions), plus top 5 from semi final) The top 8 from the Russian Final will b e their World Championship Nominees, plus the top 4 from the Cup of Russia will be the European Final Nominees. The Russians may have to change the dates of the Final, as the first FIM QR round is in St Johann, and will clash. Reading the Russian Forum, they are far from happy with the FIM over this.

Icicle Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Two questions for this season... 1 Will Posa be racing or will he retire? (I guess racing!!) 2 Will we ever see a World Champion who is not Russian (My guess is no, if ever!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueline Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Two questions for this season... 1 Will Posa be racing or will he retire? (I guess racing!!) @icicle Yes Posa will ride one more season. He is taking part at the Elitetrainingscamp in Strömsund from 17. - 19. december 2010.

Conkers Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 2 Will we ever see a World Champion who is not Russian (My guess is no, if ever!). In the past, it's riders who are at the top of their game who beat the Russians. Currently only Franky Zorn is at that level, and he needs to have a bit more "killer instinct" this year if he wants to be World Champion. As for the Russian, having seen some of the younger Russian at last year's Roloef Thijs Bokaal then they have a conveyor belt of rising stars coming through.

Conkers Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Looks like Mark Uzzell will be riding in Austria this year then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conkers Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Looks like the Amur Regional Championship is going to be a big series, as they have signed some of the top riders to open the season according to the Amur Sports Development site Remember, this event is being held in the Far East of Russia, 100kms from the Russian - Chinese Border, and it's nearer to Korea and Japan than it is to Moscow, so they must be paying good money to get the riders there.I can only assume that the foreigners are going to Novosibirsk to train after the second weekend's racing 13/14th November - Blagoveshchensk Mayors Cup 20th/21st November Amur Region Governers Cup Points scored in both meetings will count to the overall championship Line Up: 1 Roman Akimenko 2 Gunther Bauer (D) 3 Andrey Ivanov 4 Daniil Ivanov 5 Ivan Ivanov 6 Antonin Klatovsky (CzR) 7 Jan Klatovsky (CzR) 8 Anatoliy Komarov 9 Igor Kononov 10 Alexander Kotlyar 11 Nikolai Krasnikov 12 Vladislav Litvinov, 13 Roman Pavlenko 14 Yuri Polikarpov 15 Stefan Svensson (S) 16 Andrew Selifonov 17 Per-Olov Serenius (S) 18 Vitaly Khomitsevich 19 Dmitry Khomitsevich 20 Petr Shevchenko, Should be an interesting couple of meetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 an article and interview with Posa: http://svt.se/2.21335/1.2217408/posa_62_satsar_pa_enduro?lid=senasteNytt_1891271&lpos=rubrik_2217408 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conkers Posted November 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Interesting piece of gossip on the Russian Forums. After a seasonlast winter in Amur (2009/10) racing on the Ice, Denis Saifutdinov, the older brother of Emil, intends to go to Novosibirsk for training with a view to riding in the Russian Championship in 2010/11. He still races speedway but wants to try and branch out and move from his brothers shadow. He rode with Grigory Laguta last year, so maybe he will be trying the Ice again?
