As I said inevitable and only a matter of time I just had a message from The Heerenveen Press Officer saying as much. Bit of a damp squid ending to the season, so Is Daniil Ivanov World Champion? Well it was good to see Jesper in Berlin, and I hope I'll see Steve at the SoN at Manchester in May (if its still on!), and hopefully next year we have a full programme of events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Daniil is the new champ Would have thought at least the quali in Landshut is in danger. Maybe they can have both in Latvia, which doesn't seem too affected atm. But the whole thing is going to get worse before it gets better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve69 Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 So well done to the FIM. As I have said earlier the first Injustice of this new FIM debacle of a scoring system. Dmitry Khomitsevich has his World Crown taken from him by a rider who scores less race points. What a joke!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An early decision was taken allow riders, officials and others involved from around Europe and Russia to return home and to allow spectators to cancel their travel plans. 2020 World Champion Daniil Ivanov in Togliatti (Russia) © Good-Shoot © Good Shoot Following the cancellation of Finals 7 and 8 in Inzell this brings the 2020 FIM Ice Speedway Championship to a premature end as alternative dates for both events cannot be found during the current uncertainty.

iris123 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Apparently Inzell have sent out emails to ticket holders with a few choices, in the hope that most choose to use their tickets next year. Saying it would be impossible to refund every ticket. So far as I see, most that have answered have taken their recommendation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwantz34 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Can anyone give an educated guess on when Heerenveen 2021 would take place?
