I spent a good while watching it to find out who's taken it before I realised that there were actually two pics the same. Front cover is waiting for applications, this one was pretty good again... Holsted is a given. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

f-s-p 832 Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) I'm going to frame this and put it on my wall Who knows,maybe next year i will keep saying to him "Wow!Look at this picture........"and get on his nerves Do that! Loads of changes to the calendar as expected but the finalized edition should be out next week. These are accurate for sure: Season opener Yyteri Speedway May 13th, Pori Individual final August 7th, Kauhajoki Individual championship qualifier July 24th, TBC Kuusankoski or Seinäjoki U21 final July 17th, Lahti Pairs final August 24th, Kuusankoski Extraliiga rules are pretty clear for next season alltough I can still see possibilities for unnecessary "situations" and changing of views... Loads of snow at the moment around the tracks, one was told holding 60cm at the moment. Come on spring! Edited March 28, 2010 by f-s-p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

f-s-p 832 Posted April 13, 2010 Finnish season starts this weekend with a training camp at Hallstavik, Sweden. Last time I spoke to our head coach Jyri Palomäki, the camp will go ahead alltough there's been a lot of snow at the track during the winter. Also Juha Hautamäki and Timo Lahti will ride at Vetlanda this coming weekend, or so I'm told. 80cc riders will head up to Hallstavik a week later. Many of them have been practising at Eskilstuna already this season. Kalle Katajisto was the first to get competitive action this season, alltough Kylmäkorpi had a practise very early on in March. Nieminen followed and now during the past few weeks Jari Mäkinen has been to Poland and Sweden and Niko Siltaniemi, Joni Keskinen and the Lahti bros all were at Eskilstuna. So it's all systems go now! With the silencers Finland was waiting what Svemo is gonna do and now we know that. Personally I thought I had enough info on the subject and was convinced that Svemo would allow the old one's too until the end of the year and Finland would follow. If we follow now, we risk losing most of the KC riders, since most of them ride for fun. What a mess, I see no point in keeping up with the conversation anymore other than to just laugh to the whole thing at times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted April 15, 2010 The tarck at Varkaus was opened this tuesday by Appe Mustonen. So it's ok to ride in Finland too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bream 29 Posted April 15, 2010 And Im in the wrong place! I think I should bribe my teachers to let me go back to Finland earlier. Because my plan to do training in Bydgoszcz went... Ei se nyt taas menny ihan niin ku piti prkl.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted April 16, 2010 And Im in the wrong place! I think I should bribe my teachers to let me go back to Finland earlier. Because my plan to do training in Bydgoszcz went... Ei se nyt taas menny ihan niin ku piti prkl.. With the amount of money you've saved drinking beer in Bydgosz instead of Kuopio this spring you could buy your own practise there... You should atleast go and try again as the track is a bit different.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bream 29 Posted April 16, 2010 Yeah, actualy life is easy here. With even student budget you can live very nicely. Problem in training in here was that I was not able to get a garrage.. because it was just stupid to bring bikes in here for just a weekend. But.. 3 weeks and flight home. Damn, I havent actualy been this long time away from my bikes in 8 years. I miss them more than the people in Finland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn, I havent actualy been this long time away from my bikes in 8 years. I miss them more than the people in Finland. Were all idiots so who cares! I lived practically like a king in Berlin some years back with just the basic student money+loan. Tried to find a apprentisship and if that would have happened nothing would have stopped us. It didn't and maybe that was for the better, we still had fun! First day of training at Hallstavik and Niko Siltaniemi is outshining the rest including that stupid icelandic fog. Tero Aarnio is apparently also doing really well and doing some riding style adjustments towards the better. He's there to do some training ahead of the new campaign. Looks like anyone who was smart enough to ask for a "license" to come was welcomed open heartedly. AS SHOULD BE THE CASE! Mika Loppi is also doing well I'm told. Improving by every lap. My feelings about him are made well known in last years thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted April 18, 2010 Finland won Stjärnorna at Hallstavik today by sixtysomething to twentysometing. Niko Siltaniemi and Timo Lahti both took max. Hope to get the results early next week.
