The Doctor... Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Â A nasty looking incident, I think in Germany? When I get more details I will Post them on here - unless another member gives the needed background information for the photo.

iris123 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Don't understand how for an FIM event you can get a GB/USA pairing or some of the other combinations.Did they just put pairs together for this event or do these pairings ride the whole season together?

Â It does not really matter what nationality the sidecar passenger has. The nationality of the passenger is not officially regarded in sidecar racing. It is only the driver whose nationality is officially represented in these FIM sidecar championship meetings. Â This is a litte bit like the Manager(Coach/Trainer in international Football (World Cup / Euro), for example at the EURO 2016 Iceland had a Swedish coach, and Scotland once had the German Berti Vogts. That does not matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your word on that first bit,but that second part is pretty poor.In the Ice Speedway, Austria had a manager/coach from Swindon,but the riders had to have Austrian citizenship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Yes, in speedway team events, all the riders have to be of that nationality they represent. In other sports it may be different. I guess it is not so strict in Rugby Union, but that's another thing. Â Anyway, in sidecar speedway it is just the drivers, but not their passengers, it seems. I can live with that. Â Anyway, it is not me who makes up these rules, it is the F.I.M., and You will know we once had a "Team Europe" in a World Ice Racing Final in Russia, and a "Team Adria" in a Speedway World Cup qualifying round. This makes the mixed nationalities of sidecar passengers easily acceptable to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My driver, Roel Liemburg is Dutch (Fries actually, but that's in the Netherands). We rode together in 3 FIM World Championship Finals and represented........ Germany. Â Good eh? Â Well not really.
