My educated guess is for the second week in June. Second week in June for the announcement,is leaving it very late!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps it would have been better to roll the SWC for 2018 and then during the competition announce the changes for an alternating SWC / SoN during the competition? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One thing we have no idea on is hiw viable these events are for promoter, BSI and FIM. Bums on seats and all that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob B 1,255 Posted January 9, 2018 Can't be a coincidence that this announcement is being delayed and there is no news coming out of Belle Vue at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

INCOGNITO 357 Posted January 18, 2018 Wroclaw were hoping to get a GP but they stuck with Gorzow and wouldn't be Suprised to see the new competition finals held here as a sort of compensation. Good race track, new stadium, big pit area and flights in and out of the city every day so perfect for multi nation competition really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think i read somewhere that they might be trying to sort it before next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INCOGNITO 357 Posted January 18, 2018 It's very wide but not enough banking on the turns which is what they are supposed to be doing before the season starts. There is passing but usually by home riders and even they can struggle a times to pass a fast rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted January 29, 2018 ENQUIRED again last week and was told there would be a press conference shortly. That's as much as I know although it does seem that the final will be in Wroclaw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
