World Under 21 Team Qualifier


Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone knows of any links to live results for tomorrow's FIM World Under 21 Team Qualifier in Rivne, Ukraine. Or even if there will be any sort of internet streaming of a live broadcast? Any help would be greatly appreciated. The USA U21 Team has a lot of fans and supporters who would like to follow the results. Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide help.

Loktajev looking good.Finns have a lot to do if they are going to catch up f-s-p :unsure:

We did allright. :approve:

 

Looking forward for tomorrow and seeing our team manager for an update. Last year there was all kinds of hanky panky going on, I wonder what the story is this time. I noticed that Andrei Grodzki was the jury president, so maybe this time all has been done accordingly.

 

This was the first time in a U19 or U21 team event in the time these meetings have been held that the Finnish team has gone through! :party:

I look at it this way; the Finns got further than Great Britain did. Congratulations to them and good luck in Diedenbergen. Congratulations also to the Ukrainians. And well done also to the Americans and Slovenes for managing to put teams together.

All rather pathetic on the British front.

Cant understand the Ukranian riders names, but surely Teams such as Newport could be bolstered by these riders.0

Not sure if any of them would be able to get a work permit for the UK. They certainly wouldn't have been eligible a few years ago, but I'm not sure on the requirements now. They have clearly been relaxed given Ilya Bondarenko's appearance in the Premier League this year.

 

However, all three of the top guys for Ukraine, Loktaev, Cukanow and Kobrin are signed to Polish League teams, and Premier League fixtures don't tend to fit around the Polish Leagues as easily as the Elite League fixtures. That's before considering their involvement in the other European Leagues. They are obviously all in the Ukrainian League and some of them will be making appearances in the Russian League, Swedish League, Danish League, etc.

Loktaev was listed to ride for Holstebro last night, and I was looking forward to seeing him. Still he obviously can't be in two places at once.

 

Loktaev and Tsukanov are both Russian with Ukranian licences aren't they? Not sure what that does with work permits, but I must admit I was surprised Bondarenko got one (but he has ridden quite well). Certainly Loktaev (who is only 17) is worth keeping an eye on

No, not with the license.

 

Alexander Loktaev and Kirill Tsukanov - already citizens of Ukraine.
