I'm not sure who the Finnish team will be fielding at Nagyhalasz, as Jesse Mustonen was hospitalised after his crash at Bielefeld in the World Longtrack Challenge. Sportowefakty still has him listed to ride though - news must travel slowly to them!

Line-up for Lonigo on Saturday is through - Adam Ellis and Richard Lawson representing team GB. What i still can`t understand is why there are only 6 teams in this semi and no Poland in the comp. Start time in Lonigo is 8pm UK time

Edit i believe only 13 teams entered the comp- hence the 1 semi had 7 and this one 6

Saw a paper that said 17 entrants, two semis with 2 each through with PZM, MFR and DMU seeded to the final.

Ah that might make sense- we will have to wait and see. One team must have dropped out  as it  seems strange that we have a semi of 6 teams- will they run just the 15 heats ? In the 1st semi they just ran a straight 21 heats.

Seen on FB that due to an issue Lawson missed his flight to Italy so Ellis races on his own.

Reading the above posts re Aarnio, Hungary and Lawson, is it any wonder that no-one takes this sport seriously. As usual, you couldn't make it up....
