Eurosport covered the second day at Assen live a few years back (possibly 2010 but I cant be sure) and the UK had Jack Burnicle as the commentator. He also came out with the line "Why do they still use straw bales on the outside of the track, why don't they use an airfence?" I don't think he was being Ironic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it really happened but I was told once that when APD’s were introduced, the UEM rulebook had them for ice racing as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) So the World championship calendar looks like 16.01 Örnsköldsvik quali 13-14 of something. It say's Jan, but guessing the FIM got it wrong and is Feb Final 1+2 Togliatti 6-7.03 Finals 3+4 Berlin Berlin must look doubtful atm. So we might end up with just one weekend in Russia Edited November 13, 2020 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Would be better for the F.I.M. to run the complete ice speedway season in Russia then, just like they did with the Speedway SGP/SON/SEC this year in Poland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 There will be a big qualifier with 24 riders in Örnsköldsvik. 12 will go through. Ivanov will join them, plus 2 FIM wildcards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwantz34 Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 I see from the Heerenveen site that they are not planning any event for next year as it's not viable without spectators. Feint hopes of a last minute trip to Berlin if it happens, if not then that's going to be two years without ice speedway Need to get to at least two events in 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple.H. Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Is the Finnish rider at 16 the one who rode years ago or his son ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aki Ala-Riihimäki rode years ago, had back problems, a stroke of somesort but now back at it. Think he’s now in his early 50’s. Atte Suolammi is about 17. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin man 76 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Aki Ala-Riihimäki was a top ice racer prior to the millennium. I do not know his back story nearly as well as f-s-p, but he rode in the Nordic Championship pre-Covid and ended up the highest placed Finnish rider, so he has earned his place on merit. Atte Suolammi is very young, but showed promise last winter. At the moment, Finnish ice racing seems stuck between these two polar points, with the likes of Aakko having retired, Jarf seemingly not interested in riding abroad and others not able to make an international breakthrough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Thanks for the replies, i remember seeing him race at Assen, fairplay to him for making a comeback at his age after those setbacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
