If so, why is it bothering him now, interviewed at Toruń and he was saying GB in with a good chance. Lahti riding for the Swedish championship and for Finland in the same year - nonsense, it’s one or the other, but not both. Big crash in Poland yesterday & taken to hospital with hand/arm/wrist injuries 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eh no, it’s the massive crash he’s just had yesterday when he ran over NKI and went head first into the fence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthegearbutnaeidea 1,734 Posted October 5, 2020 Russia did not pick Chugunov as their representative for the World U21’s, or pick him for their test match vs Poland the other week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My thoughts exactly, but Lahti only did what others had already done. And actually I think Lahti has ridden in both individual finals the same year... FI and SE.

Depends on the rules of the national championships. If you're a dual-national or dual-licence, then why shouldn't be able to ride in both? Might even be a requirement of holding a particular licence.

Like many other, Lahti has dual passport, FMN license from Svemo and FIM license from SML. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As the only other rider who has been racing reasonably regularly in 2020 I can’t see past Bewley to partner Lambert if Woffy doesn’t make it, less than ideal but we won’t win it without Tai anyway so might as well get Kemp over as the U21 and give those young lads the experience for this year.

crescent girl 1,905 Posted October 5, 2020 But surely Dan Bewley will be there, as the U21 rider? What UK need is a second senior rider, who - - in this emergency - - must obviously be Bomber, no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know they had some problem with Latvia for choosing Laguta as their wildcard and Laguta was supposedly trying to gain Latvian citizenship, but failed the language test 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
