LagutaRacingFan 1,927 Posted September 30, 2020 Apparently Russia might not be eligible for the Speedway of Nations as they don't have a junior rider. Bringing one over from Russia with machinery would be very expensive. What a stupid rule from the BSI. What has a junior rider got to do with a tournament? This isn't the Under 21s.

I wish just for once you would get your facts right- nothing to do with BSI - it`s a FIM ruling and Russia have had all year to prepare for this competition- the U21 can borrow equipment from a Russian rider in Poland so it`s not that expensive to get him there- the team manager presumably has to get there as well !!!

moomin man 76 171 Posted September 30, 2020 1 hour ago, KeirStarmerFan said: Russia had an under 21 rider before dirty polish money stole him. As Racers and Royals has already pointed out, it is hardly a big deal to get a single Russian U21 rider to Poland, to potentially take one ride on each day, when they don't even need their own machinery. Last year, Finland did exactly the same with Timi Salonen. They got him to Manchester to ride on Tero Aarnio's bikes. If you don't believe me, check footage of the meeting yourself. Having been in the pits as a sponsor of the Finnish team, the third pit bay was empty. When questioned what he was riding at scrutineering, the machine examiners were told they had already examined it (Tero's spare bike). If Finland can do it, it's hardly that difficult for the Russians with more riders to pick from and more resources. So please do everyone a favour and stick to the point, rather than going off at a tangent and moaning about Chuganov riding on a Polish licence. Hardly ideal, but there are other replacements available. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There have not been many - if any - rule changes brought in since Armando became head of the CCP that have NOT been crap.
