The Russians Are Coming!


Recommended Posts

Good article from Grigorii Laguta regarding the the Russians and the SWC. I for one think it will make it a much better competition with a full strength Russian team in it. And hopefully step one in the 2 Laguta's and Emil trying to get into the SGP's...

Great News about the Russians in this year's World Cup tournament.

 

And watch out for Germany, who could be on theri way to Manchester this year. If they win their qualifying round, the German team might upset the Americans in the other SWC event in Sweden. Mark my words !

I hear what you are saying but I think actually getting the visa sorted out and more importantly having experienced that crowd on Saturday and Sunday, they will want to be more involved now.

Dont think they can keep it up for the next rounds, do you?

 

They can make GP's at the biggest stadiums of the world as long as they not willing to pay more than SEC and ekstraliga teams they wont get the best riders in the world.

 

Horsens was a huge success last year, Prague is a staple feature on the circuit and then it's Cardiff... So not a bad few couple of rounds coming up.

 

It's easy to take the SEC to established tracks where there is little risk although the SEC events in Torun to my memory are poorly supported, compared to BSI taking the events to national stadiums which generate more interest.

Well I respect your opinion but from a conversation I had directly with Laguta, the article in which he stated he was envious he didn't ride last Saturday, Vaculik saying he's desperate to get back into the GPs and Emil's manager messaging Phil Rising saying he wants to ride in the world cup, I think there's a chance you might be incorrect with that statement...

I hope the Russians make an effort, they really would be one of the favourites. Would also make the race off a much better meeting as a good Russian team means forcing more good teams to the race off.

You should say you hope they are 'allowed' to make an effort.
