Does anybody by any chance have results from Marmande for the years that its annual 13th July fixture was held as a non-Championship international meeting? I believe the following years: 2000-2002, 2008, 2015-2020. Thanks! 2019: Bergé, Trésarrieu, Franc 2018: Bergé, Harris, Hall 2017: Riss, Bergé, Pijper 2016: De Jong, Riss, Trésarrieu

Tapes Up TV It's the big one, the 2023 FIM Long Track World Championship title decider. Just a point separates former Speedway Grand Prix winners Chris Harris and Martin Smolinski, the only two remaining contenders. We will be live on Tapes Up TV from 13:30 local time. LAST ROUND DECIDER Both Harris and Smolinski have made every Grand Final since Ostrów in June, delivering in the process one of the most enthralling title fights in years, with never more than three points between the top two. For Smolinski this is familiar territory, because he won the 2018 title by just a point over Dimitri Bergé in the Final at Muhdlorf. The German has since been unable to regain the crown, after a collarbone injury ended his 2019 challenge, then he lost the 2020 and 2022 seasons altogether due to a hip injury. Harris, meanwhile, transitioned in to FIM Long Track after his final Speedway Grand Prix season in 2016 and has made steady progress, claiming his first podium at La Réole in 2019, two further trips to the rostrum leaving him world number three in 2022, while his first victories - back-to-back at Ostrów and Marmande - have been the basis for his title challenge in 2023. FORM GUIDE It is Harris who leads the Standings, despite defeat at the hands of Smolinski in Morizes two weeks ago, with Smolinski yet to win a Round this season. But the home favourite was the winner at Muhldorf in 2018 and 2019, and had previously been on the podium there in 2014 and 2016. Harris finished second to Mathieu Trésarrieu in Muhldorf in our first visit since the global pandemic last year.

Does anybody by any chance have the full results for this? Thanks.

Thanks Dave, looking forward to having you on the mic as always. For those who are interested, Long Track season pass available here: https://www.tapesup.tv/pages/fixture-schedule

Obviously a difficult year to get hold of these. Is there anybody who has spares from any of the 2020 Rounds they are willing to sell?

I am looking for the following to complete my collection: WORLD FINALS 1966: RD2 Moscow 1967: RD1 Ufa, RD3 Leningrad 1968: RD1 Salavat 1972: Nassjo 1975: Moscow GRAND PRIX 1998: RD1 Krasnogorsk, RD2 Saransk 1999: RD2 Saransk 2001: RD2 Saransk 2002: RD4 Inzell 2003: RD1 Saransk 2004: RD1 Krasnogorsk, RD2 Ufa 2006: RD1 Saransk 2009: RD1 Krasnogorsk, RD2 Ufa 2012: RD2 Ufa 2014: RD2 Blagoveshchensk 2016: RD2 Almaty Happy to buy or swap for my spares. I would also be interested to know if there is anyone out there with a complete collection...predominantly to know which meetings didn't have a programme, particularly earlier fixtures, to avoid searching in vain. Sorry for the long post.

I don't suppose that any of the 22 meetings listed above are hanging around anyone's loft unwanted? Thanks again.

Link for anyone who wasn't sure where to find tonight's coverage.

Just 22 to go. If anyone can help I would be most grateful.

2020 Speedway of Nations regulations

Does anybody have a consolidated list of Press & Practice dates for teams at all three levels? Perhaps I could add them to this title post to create a complete pre-season calendar. Thanks. Monday 18th March - Ipswich Wednesday 20th March 5pm - Sheffield Friday 22nd March 5pm - Scunthorpe Sunday 24th March 11am - Newcastle Monday 25th March - Belle Vue Wednesday 27th March - Peterborough Wednesday 27th March 1pm - Birmingham Thursday 28th March - King‘s Lynn Thursday 28th March - Berwick Tuesday 2nd April - Eastbourne Thursday 4th April 11am - IOW Thursday 4th April - Poole Wednesday 10th April - Stoke Sunday 14th April - Kent (at Iwade)

Thank you for your contributions. I have updated my initial post for ease of reference.

Does anybody please have the Round-by-Round Championship points totals and Championship table for the 2018 British Youth Championship? Thanks.

Yes, I see the meeting scoresheets. What I am after are the Championship points and overall Classification. Thanks.

Not really sure where the best place is to post this, so please do feel free to move if necessary (none of the for sale / wanted folders seemed to match). I'm trying to hire for a single day the typical Speedway reactions bike that is often seen at fayres, measuring reactions when you drop the clutch after seeing a light or similar. Seen them at various tracks and events. Could you drop me a PM if you own one or know somebody who does? Need it in 3 weekends' time. Happy to pay for the loan or donate to SRBF. If you can man it and explain Speedway to people then even better!

A fantastic resource. Thank you for these updates.

Looking to add coverage of the two following meetings to my collection: - 1990 Championship of Sussex (Arlington stadium, Eastbourne - won by Alan Mogridge) - 1992 World Semi Final (Wiener Neustadt, Austria - won by Gert Handberg) If anyone can help, a PM would be appreciated.

I am looking for the results of the Finnish Open Longtrack meeting that was staged as a support class to the FIM Flattrack Cup on 9th June 2013 (the day after the FIM Longtrack Round). For the record, the Flattrack Results were: Ari ASTEDT 0, 2, N, 2, R = 4 Fabrizio VESPRINI 4, 4, 4, 4, 3 = 19 Mikko KOSKINEN 5, 6, 6, R, 6 = 23 Rob SIJBRING 1, 1, 1, 3, 2 = 8 Tomi PAAVOLA 2, 0, 2, 1, 1 = 6 Emanuele MARZOTTO 3, 3, 3, 5, 5 = 19 Janne RANTALA 6, 5, 5, 6, 4 = 26 But for some reason I didn't manage to get down the results of the local Finnish/Swedish riders in the Longtrack Open. Might be a long shot on such an obscure open meeting, but if anyone can help out they will be rewarded with many kind words.

Superb! Many thanks.

Thank you for that MuddyValve, that´s one mystery difference solved. Edit: I have worked out the other inconsistency: finishing order provided in the press release (http://speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.24117) differed from the finishing order in the referee´s scorechart (http://speedwaygb.co/14results/scun_230314.pdf). So I got there! Thank you again Speedway community.

Can anyone help me out please by giving me the breakdown of how Championship points were awarded in this year´s British Youth Championship? I have the scorecards from each round from the BSPA website, the points from each meeting don´t match the points from the series overall (http://speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.27064) and there´s no explanation of how Championship points are awarded. Could it be something like (20-18-16 etc.) based on finishing positions including the finals? How are heat point tie-breaks settled? Any knowledge or input appreciated. And if you can point me in the direction of a full table with round-by-round Championship points, even better! Alex
