Schwantz34 17 Posted December 18, 2020 Training from Russia, all the big hitters are there and anticipating some good racing. Whoever does these videos makes a great job, usually online a day or two after any event. From the stuff I've seen so far, aside from Ivanov, Khomitsevich, Koltakov, Valeev and Kononov I'd say Nikita Bogdanov is looking very fast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get well soon to both According to the Russian Forum, Koltakov has a broken Collarbone and torn shoulder ligaments. May well dent his hopes of a place in the World Championship.

So basically 4 Germans Pretty surprised at the allocation; especially the allocation of only two places to Swedish riders. Unless Aki-Ala Rihimaki fances doing the GP rounds, I'm not sure who in Finland wishes to compete/is capable of competing at GP level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I fear it is just a refection of the shrinking ice speedway world. We have over the last decade seen a continual reduction of Russian riders, in theory to help the west. But all it has done is make the GP series weaker and weaker. We will this season probably end up with what is basically a series no stronger than the European Final 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In all honesty, the Russian final is far stronger than the World Championship rounds. I could count on one hand, the number of non-Russians who would be of sufficient standard to compete in the Russian final. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
