Bavarian Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 AUSTRALIA v ENGLAND speedway tests were a highlight in our sport for such a long time. This is one of the last test series of the England Team touring Australia in 1994, and it is the first test at the world famous Sydney Showground Speedway Royale. Sadly gone and a thing of the past now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andout Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Test Matches were always great......One of the one's that really sticks in my mind was the GB v USSR international at Wembley in 1964.....Although the Russians were well beaten the atmosphere there was nothing short of fantastic. Wish they would bring back regular test matches now. There was another series in Australia in 2001.....Young Australia v Young Britain.....Aussies won the series 5-4 Thanks for posting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've said before that the variety of meetings kept the sport fresh. In addition to the league and KOC, every track had a couple of individual meetings, at least one regional cup, plus things like best pairs and 4TT's. The real icing on the cake was being awarded a Test Match! Those were the days... Edited January 20, 2022 by chunky 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted January 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 The Polish national team has four test matches scheduled for the 2022 season. Their opposition is as yet unknown. Could Great Britian be invited over to Poland for a return match following last year's test defeat of the Poles at Glasgow? Is anything known about GB test matches in 2022 ?

iris123 Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Whist i think test matches aren't the crowd puller they used to be, i think there is a place in the calendar for an early touring side like Young Czecho or Germany U21 etc. Think Sönke Petersen and Kevin Wölbertt were part f the last young German team to do a tour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember being very impressed with Sonke Pedersen http://www.internationalspeedway.co.uk/youth.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember being very impressed with Sonke Pedersen http://www.internationalspeedway.co.uk/youth.htm Actually quite a decent line up from Germany looking back with Facher, Lieschke, Speiser and Tobi Busch, and the GB side had some promising riders there as well Remember being impressed when Roynon came to Brokstedt with a GB U21 side i think it was. And then saw Tully representing Scotland in an U21 qualifier. Roynon obviously hampered by a lot of injuries, but Tully just disappered..
