To be perfectly honest I can't remember what he did, but he didn't ride on Day 2 and withdrew from the series.

He rode the first heat on Day 2 and got 2 points. Withdrew with a foot injury.

See there is a bit of panic about Inzell, after the Health Minister recommended all events with more than a 1,000 people attending should be cancelled !!

Been asked about this frequently... Apparently there was gossip about this scenario already in Berlin.

Has an inevitability about it. He has just passed the pressure onto the local politicians and of course local promoters. Will have to see what happens over the next couple of days with football etc

Slightly nervous about Heerenveen too, it would soften the blow a bit if there was some kind of TV coverage of the European rounds but it would seem tv fim are only leaving the best shot clips of the 2020 season to view on YouTube

Dear journalists and photographers,

FIM Ice Speedway WC Final 7+8 | March 14-15th | 2020

Nevertheless, we would like to thank you for your understanding.

They are looking at a solution on what to do for those with tickets, but ask people to wait for information rather than bombard them with emails etc

Just received my Email confirming. Oh well, Red Bull  v Rapid Wien on Sunday and SAK 1914  v  FC Pinzgau Saalfelden  on Saturday here we come. and another Mozart Concert or two, thrown in. Time to do the remaining breweries too. Third visit to Salzburg for Ice Speedway and third time it's been called off with two thaws at St. Johann seemingly avoided this time, with the security of an artificial track. At least we saw shale stuff at Pocking on our first visit. 

Ironically we forewent the Polish event because of the clash with Mothering Sunday, that'll teach us.  

Still brown stuff happens so happy to get on with life. Salzburg is too nice a city to be miserable in.

I've just spoken to the Heerenveen Press Officer, who tells me there are no indications of a possible cancellation, but they will follow the instructions of the authorities. 

So at this stage it's still on.

It is very flexible, but I would say signs are it could well be called off with the rapid spread of the virus and the pressure that one country after another are taking radical action.....

See there is now one of those FB posts encouraging people to donate their ticket money and not ask for a refund, because Inzell 2021 might be in danger if you ask for your money back.........

The FIM Website says that the X-Trial Des Nations (The indoor Team Trial) in France on April 3 has been cancelled, as the French Government "has communicated that it will not be possible to maintain public events with more than one thousand people in attendance until further notice."

So it could be that if the Dutch Government follows suit......
