Bavarian Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Every now and then there are riders with unusual or exotic speedway backgrounds. One of them is MARIO HÄUSL, who is half German and half Seychellois. The seventeen-year old rides as a junior in the Polish League team of the German speedway club Landshut Devils. Mario, "The Pride of the Seychelles" is pictured here in Landshut racing gear, together with his mum. The Seychellois people ar a unique blend of Créole, Indian, Chinese, French and British Bloods. https://www.nation.sc/articles/18870/speedway-talent-mario-husl-signs-with-ac-landshut- 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Goddard Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 In ice racing, Mongolian riders regularly appeared in early World Championships. And at Vladivostok in Russia I believe there are a couple of riders of Korean descent competing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted June 19 Author Report Share Posted June 19 In the late 1970s there was a speedway rider from Luxembourg, Raoul Schiltz. Schiltz was mainly a grass tracker, but did also ride in some speedway meetings here on the Continent. To the best of my knowledge he was the only speedway rider the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welwyn Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Always thought it was a shame, especially in the era when there was no World Cup or Pairs (SON), that Lindback never declared for Brazil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
