iris123 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Berge also considering giving up longtrack. Longtrack GP getting a joke now with riders dropping out and FIM giving places to random riders like Kylmakorpi and Harris (both didn't enter the qualies). Yes,just seen Michi Härtel is now in,so at least one young German and old man Katt.Not a great line-up German wise without Smoli or Riss.Really would rather Härtel concentrated on speedway like the rest.From Härtels press release it seems almost certain Berge won't ride.........like you say,the sport is a bit of a joke,though i have been saying for years Harris should concentrate on it rather than speedway GPs where he is well out of his depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the older Mustonen is close to getting a call to join then. He was the first to drop out after last season and already has stated that he will enter the qualis to be in the series in-18.

Think after Härtel comes a Czech(Stichauer?)in the waiting list,but offer enough money and you're probably in Edited January 9, 2017 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Longtrack racing demise is a sign of the times, back in the 70's and 80's long track was very competitive and thriving..... so was speedway....... look at them now though.

Different world (and track racing world also) then as well... Not a discussion I wish to enter due to lack of time though.
