Bream Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Gating of the western riders is.. just horrible. Is Makarov a local rider? Crowd cheers for him a lot. Anyways, game is on when he is on the track and I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ore Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Gating of the western riders is.. just horrible. Is Makarov a local rider? Crowd cheers for him a lot. Anyways, game is on when he is on the track and I like it. Agree with all comments and also assumed a local connection regarding Makarov, although similar level of noise for the Kosov brothers. Svensson and Aakko made a fist of it and early on Saturday Stellingwerf looked like he may give it a go but flattered to deceive. Not the greatest of meetings tbh but a good time, spent in the company of a group of amiable Russians on the back straight on Sunday, who plied us with copious amounts of rum, coffee and chocolate. As they said the Russian and. English elephants will always be friends, which when explained was great sentiment and is aparantly in Russian folklore. Made our own arrangements and by Metro and train it cost less than £1.80 return from our central Moscow hotel to the track. Answering my earlier question on here it is possible to make your own arrangements to do Krasnogorsk and visa costs apart, which you can't avoid, for not that much. Great range of beers in the Zhitgurli brewery last night, almost ruined by Denver's inept Superbowl attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great range of beers in the Zhitgurli brewery last night, almost ruined by Denver's inept Superbowl attempt. Makharov rides for Moscow Suburbs Lukhovitsy, and quite a few people in the crowd were from there. The Kosovs are being hailed as The next big thing from Russia. The Novelty value of Twins riding in the same race had a few of the 'Togs trying to get them in the same frame whilst racing (have a look on the Saturday pics on my site). And the fact that apart from Dmitri K, who was seeded, Samara had the Wild Card AND the two reserves. They have a bit of clout at the moment. On a personal note, I had a great time in Moscow, despite being ripped off by a Taxi Driver on my first night. Still, I'm going back next year, as I managed to get from my Hotel to the Stadium easily enough, and still managed to wire my reports and pics. I took the bare minimum of gear, so it looked like a tourist rather than a working 'tog. Racing was great, and my pics are up on my site now http://iancharlesphotos.net/Image_Gallery/Image_Gallery.html and I made friends with fans from Togliatti and Lukhovitsy, as well as seeing some of my Russian Friends whom I generally only see in Assen. Things to remember for next time: 1) Don't get a taxi from the airport 2) Remember to take a spare LiOn battery for the camera and the charger (Thank you Good Shoot for the use of your charger in the press room on Sunday!) 3) Remember to take the hand warmers out of the bag for the aircraft hold and put them in the Camera Bag before going to the Stadium. 4) Find out the dates for 2015 as soon as possible Edited February 4, 2014 by Conkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleased you made it there and back safe and sound. (Taxi apart) Seemingly the locals love having it in Krasnogorsk and I'm sure you would agree a great cross section of age groups were in attendance.

Bream Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Haha, have to admit that Järf rode so well that I had to jump up to cheer few times during the meeting. If Aakko would have been fit.. it would have been epic fight for the silver. http://www.speedweek.com/eisspeedwaygp/news/51590/Blagovestschensk-GP-9000-km-bis-nach-China.html Guys have a nice trip to take.

After two days the Final scores were added up, and in the case of a tie outside the top 3, heat scores decided positions.If there had been a tie in any of the Top 3 positions, it would have been decided by run offs.
