moomin man 76 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'd be surprised to see a Finnish rider in the series this season, as to be honest, who would be willing to spend a small fortune competing in the Ice Gladiators series and in all likelihood finishing in the lower reaches in each and every round?

f-s-p Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 It's decided by the FIM, so I guess they will also look at the qualifiers. Simon and Svensson junior are both good additions to the lineup, and were unlucky in the qualifiers. I do however have a feeling that we might see a Finish rider in it too as Seppanen is in charge . Seppänen on Facebook yesterday saying it should be all done in the next few days. Though you are right and we have had a rider in the series "always"?, would not be surprised if we missed out this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though you are right and we have had a rider in the series "always"?, would not be surprised if we missed out this year. I have to agree that there may not be a Finnish Rider this year. Aakko is conspicuous by his absense, as is Mats Jarf (who I reckon was a contender at one point), Tomi Tami is a good rider but not ISG Material yet.

Dave the Mic Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Does anyone know what happened to Egor/Igor Myshkovets who did well in the series last season - he doesn't seem to figure anywhere, either nationally or internationally & he looked as though he had a lot of potential.
