European Championships 2013 - Rzeszow Final 4 Live On Eurosport

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know what the actual point of the European Championships are? The World Championships are dying on their a**es, and time is being spent on this distraction... :blink:

 

Dont know what this guys problem is but most speedway is good. GP are not dying. Last year it was great to see another new SGP champion. It went down to the last 3 riders. The first 7 races with 7 differant GP wins. Also with European speedway you see some riders you would not normaly see.

The calendar for the European championship for 2013 has been annouced. The speedway championship is taken much more serious next year and they are trying to invite big riders as wildcards....

SF 1 20.04.2013 Chervonograd

SF 2 01.05.2013 Debrecen

SF 3 23.06.2013 Mureck

ECC 06.07.2013 Zarnovica

Calendar of the finals:

 

27/07 Zielona Gora

10/08 Togliatti

14/09 Gorican

29/09 Rzeszow

 

OK, so let's call a spade, "a spade". It's the European Championships of Eastern Europe! Or just the East European Championships...

 

What chance that we are going to see this sport heading the way of Boxing? Boxing has the WBA, WBC, BWO, IBF etc etc Or Wrestling with the WWE and WCW?...Speedway has BSI (of SGP fame) and now One Sport...I wonder how long before riders have to sign "exclusivity deals" with one or the other?

Mureck and Gorican are situated in Eastern Europe? It's not the UEM or One Sport problem that another countries are not interested in organizing European Championships meetings!

Never heard of "FIM Europe"

 

Is this another name for UEM?

Seems reigning Champ Ales Dryml is having trouble with the FIM and date clashes.He is of course first reserve for the speedway GPs,qualified for the longtrack GPs and also qualified to take part in the European Championship.As he says it only takes one injury and he is in the GPs,which take precedence over other competitions,he also has a good chance of doing well in the Longtrack which is second in preference on the FIM list,but the new European Championship will be much better financially rewarded than the Longtrack.He pointed out to the FIM before the fixtures were announced that date clashes could prove a problem,but seems his worries have been ignored and at the moment continue to go unanswered

Sorting out the calendars and it seems that there will be a busy day in Zarnovica, SK on July 6th. Both Flat track cup and speedway ECC. Even if held at different tracks, seems daft.

I understand that the British riders are "being withdrawn". Should we not be encouraging our riders to compete as much possible?

 

It's begining to sound a lot like the UK Speedway Series to me!

Isn't it strange that the BSPA /ACU put pressure on their own riders and refusing them persmission to participate in the European Championship?

Scott Nicholls is forced to withdraw from taking part in this Saturday's first qualifying round in the Ukraine. What a shame!

Bet the British riders involved will refuse to ride in the WTC this year as a protest of not being allowed to ride in this European Championship
