None of those riders are mentioned, but I'm assuming they are on Speedweek? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schwantz34 17 Posted November 29, 2019 I've got huge admiration for the skill these riders have on their bikes, but my god have I got admiration for the patience and resolve of the western Europeans at the Russian border. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kai Lehtinen missed his European ice racing final a few years back because he did not have the correct insurance papers for his ice racing bike... When the U21 final was in Russia, bikes were seized at the border. For the GP challenge riders travelled with engines only and rented local frames for their number one meeting of the season. It's just not right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waiting at a border for hours on end in freezing weather can’t be much fun I get fed up waiting 15 minutes for a bus Edited November 29, 2019 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This global village comes to a standstill when a bus driver spots the traffic queue too late and has to break sharp sending the passengers flying though the bus. End result a few ambulances on the scene and lots more traffic queues. Such is life in the big city Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
