Speedway World Cup Team Line Ups

[TrueBee]

Select Pawlicki Poland! You know it makes sense to include another racer!

 

Plus he needs track time there!

No worries Alan because as far as Monday's meeting goes i so am waiting until MONDAY before releasing a racecard. I know it's going to put the health of my webhost's server under extreme stress with everyone downloading in a shorter time span (already had to move to the most expensive package because of the bandwidth increase) but i expected nothing less than last minute havoc anyway.

 

Thank you for the heads up. I will be checking sportwefaktay repeatedly on Monday as they often are the first with the news. I've got the site saved already 'Google translated'. Although having said that our friend Gray is very speedy too with news from his part of the globe.

Gray is very good isn't he? So are you mate with all the work you put into your sheets. Always totally appreciated. What a fiasco with the Russians. Surely Sandhu would pay Emil's expenses as a good will gesture? Or am i in dreamland? Well i am actually as i'm in the bonkers USA. Cheers my friend. Alan.

So basically Sayfutdinov wants travelling expenses from Coventry to Kings Lynn. Perhaps a couple of Coventry fans can bung him a tenner each for the fuel.

 

He is taking the P*ss out of UK fans who paid good money to watch this live.

YOU could be putting two and two together and making five. The full story hasn't come out yet ... but hopefully it will.

This Russian episode just puts more nails into speedways coffin. Absolute joke and makes the sport look mickey mouse. Can't wait to see how Pearson and Tatum explain this one!

 

Laguta should be banned from the rest of the GP season, Russia should be banned from the SWC for two years and no FIM meetings given to them for at least 5 years.

 

What are IMG going to do about it as they have been promoting this meeting with Saifutdinov plastered all over their publicity campaign? You couldn't make it up!

I agree i have to explain this to my mate who is coming for his first ever time(maybe the last ).I honestly thought there could be some very good racing with the Poles,GB and the full Russian team.And with this and the atmosphere i thought i may be able to entice him to come again.

How do you get newcomers to our sport,when what is meant to be one of the highlights of the speedway calendar ant it could be sadly let down by this whole affair.

I don't know about banning Laguta. though if he has been let down by visa problems it probably isn't his fault.

[Chris]

Laguta has known about these two meetings in England for many, many months. No excuse. Would remove him from the GP'S as soon as possible.

 

If IMG knew he was banned from entering this country along with his brother then they have been very unprofessional.

 

IMG have some questions to answer here, especially to the fans who attend and the one's who tune into Sky on Monday night.

Friday the Polish national team training in Gorzow give a definitive answer to the question of who Mark Cieslak put in Monday's semi-final at King's Lynn.

Maciek Janowski i Przemek Pawlicki w przyszłym tygodniu mają być jednak zwarci i gotowi, są częścią tej drużyny i nikt nie wie, co może się zdarzyć - powiedział Marek Cieślak na łamach oficjalnego serwisu GKSŻ i Żużlowej Reprezentacji Polski.

Philip please if you do have even the slightest glimmer of inside knowledge in view of your contacts within the sport (and your possibly cryptic hint of "the full story hasn't come out yet" can you please tell us, or just as valuable offer your personal opinion, as to whether the Laguta brothers and/or Emil Sayfutdinov would be able to appear in the latter stages of the tournament post King's Lynn?

 

Only i refer to my previous post

 

It remains to be seen if the Laguta brothers are victims of a 'force majeure' and allowed to race in subsequent rounds. However, from the reasons i've seen given for Emil Sayfutdinov's non-appearance, according to the 2011 World Cup Regulations he'll be banned from riding in the later rounds.

 

The regulations are pretty similar or the same as the ones for the Grand Prix, will Laguta appear in that series again this year?, all down to how they define 'force majeure'.

 

078.3.3 Entries

Riders, who have been entered by their FMN for the SWC Final Tournament and

refuse or are unable to take part, shall be deemed suspended for competing

internationally for a period of 1 day before to 1 day after the SWC Final

Tournament concerned. Furthermore, they shall be considered ineligible for the

SWC of that season.

 

Riders who have been nominated by their FMN to participate in the SWC Final

Tournament must participate therein unless prevented from doing so by injury or

illness or other « force majeure ». A suitable qualified medical practitioner must

certify injury or illness in writing to that effect.

 

In the case of a « force majeure », the International Jury of the meeting will

decide on their admission.

 

If the absence of the rider is truly justified and accepted by the International Jury,

he will be accepted to re-enter the SWC Final Tournament.

Can't you just check Emil's voicemail?

[Bavarian]

I hear that Sergey Darkin shall not only ride for the Russian team, but may have to act as teammanager as well. Seems likely that the Russian coach Oleg Kurguzkin and the Russian manager Andrey Savin did not get their entry visa to the UK in time. Not sure if this is true or false, but if Mr. Savin is at King's Lynn on Monday, he's the man to answer some questions.

 

By the way, Roman Povazhny may not need a visa, because he lives in Poland and has a Polish wife.

I believe Emil's position is more a matter of principle than a matter of money. But then our friends on the south coast don't understand morals...

The principle of not appearing, and letting down the fans who arranged to go to the meeting in the hope of seeing him, is not an acceptable one for any reason whatsoever.

We'll have to agree to disagree, then, because I think it is. The Russian Federation will take the money and kudos from this tournament without putting a penny in themselves. Furthermore, they're demanding their clubs pay for it. Imagine a situation where the ACU demanded that Swindon paid for Simon Stead's inclusion in the GP qualifiers - madness!

Nail hit firmly on the head. The federation are well known by the riders for taking the FIM payments but not distributing them to the riders.

[PHILIPRISING]

L:ET'S be clear ... this has nothing to do with IMG. This is firmly in the court of the FIM and it is their responsibility to ensure that the MFU (Russian Federation) send their strongest team to what is, after all, one of the FIM's major tournaments but the powers-that-be in Geneva appear impotent to act.

 

Believe me, IMG have been pulling their hair out behind the scenes, as of course it reflects badly on them too, but they have no authority in this matter.

 

It is no wonder that IMG are in no hurry to have a GP in Russia given all the problems, not least financial, that it would entail.

 

It is easy to throw some dirt at Sayfutdinov but there is a much bigger picture here though I am as disappointed as anyone that a full strength Russian team won't be at Saddlebow Road.

[pandorum]

I seem to recall a similar situation involving the Brit under 21 team fielding 4 riders and they were not banned from anything. It is of course a disgrace but no good attacking the Russian riders. Our own speedway authorities are lucky we can find 5 riders to take part in the SWC.

It's time that a properly formatted FIM system was agreed to allow riders to be compensated for travel etc at these so called BIG events.

Emil is wrong not turning out on monday but he has the same kind of point Lee Richardson has and that Scott and Bomber were considering before they finally agreed to turn out.

Asking riders to pay to represent their country is idiotic and shows what a silly little sport speedway is.

Sky must be fuming and if the Russians get knocked out as I think they will then the SWC will be seriously devalued. I was looking forward to seeing the Russians as I thought they had a chnce this time round. Of course I would love to see the Brits win but I am not simple and know that would never happen.

But this kind of thing is so annoying as it should have been addressed by all involved months ago and resolved with at least some kind of compromise.

Speedway: ridden by heroes. Run by idiots.
