  1. It's not as if there is another track in Berlin anymore. The Sport Forum where they staged the Master Of Spikes has long gone, with the building demolished and the track now an all weather Athletics track. Seems a little short sighted by the local Council, as they can't make that much money off the locals just skating.

    I know the line up for the Gunther Bauer Farewell Meeting, but does anyone have the draw order?

    Yes that would be right. I understand that to build the track to the required level (20cm thick) would cost the club three times what it has cost in previous years, money which the club simply doesn't have. They hope to be back next year, but unless Energy prices drop drastically........

    Looks like the FIM are still not allowing Russian Riders to compete outside their home country, after the FIM General Assembly in Rimini. The Russian Ice season starts next weekend (10/11 December) does anyone know if we will be able to watch the meetings, or are the links all blocked?

    Had a message this morning with a flyer for the Berlin Meetings. Looks like they are staging the German Championship on Friday March 3, with the European Championship on Saturday March 4.

    The Russians can't ride in FIM Events. This is part of the Press Release by the FIM on March 5th: You can read the full press release on the link below https://www.fim-moto.com/en/news/news-detail/article/fim-announces-its-decisions-in-relation-to-the-russian-invasion-of-ukraine I hope this helps?
  9. At the moment, only Inzell and Berlin have confirmed dates, and I suspect the current situation will exclude any Russian involvement in the World Championship next season. Berlin plan to run from March 2 - 5. The Geman Championship is pencilled in for Thursday March 2. Inzell will run over the weekend of March 17 - 19, with Gunther Bauer's farewell on Friday March 17 No doubt Heerenveen will announce their dates shortly. There is nothing on Speedway Press about the Russian season, but they usually announce the fixtures in October. Whether it's possible to watch any meetings that are streamed will depend on whether or not they are on a site that's not being blocked.

    I thought he was playing it safe in his first two rides, as he only needed to finish 5th to win. His fall in his third ride when leading was silly then to get caught out on the 2 minute rule in his fourth! His face said it all on the rostrum. Anyway well done to Martin Haarahiltunen, after an unbeaten performance on Sunday. FINAL 4 Result: (Heat scores in brackets) Haarahiltunen 20 (15), Simon 18 (12), Hutla 16 (12), Hornell 14 (12), Bauer 12 (11), Divis 11 (8), Iwema 10 (8), Koivula 9 (7), Weber 8 (7), Mayerbuchler 7 (7), Soderstrom 6 (5), Sætre 5 (4) Wildt 4 (4) Ahlbom 3 (2), Monn 2 (2) Schaap 1 (1), Ala-Riihimaki 0 (0) GRAND FINAL: (Re-Run) Haarahiltunen, Simon, Hutla, Hornell (fx)
