A decision was then made on monday to withdraw the whole team to allow the organisers maximum time to make necessary changes. I wonder about the amount of rubbish hitting the fan had there really been (test results out now, neg) a covid positive person or persons in the Seinäjoki pits last weekend. Every rider was there with their crews and we’ve yet to reach halfway of our season… Edited July 30, 2021 by f-s-p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There has been some heavy rain, even flooding in areas near Brokstedt (Bad Segeberg for instance just 30 miles away) and rain, some heavy all day today, and a lot of tomorrow. But maybe they are lucky and are just outside the rain. Tbh in Hamburg we haven't had much more than a small shower Today’s weather symbol Edited July 31, 2021 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthegearbutnaeidea 1,711 Posted July 31, 2021 As a Berwick fan, really annoying, as with Leon riding for us tonight we have a chance of knocking out Glasgow in the cup, but without him, it’s not going to happen really, going to be so frustrating if it gets rained off 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,853 Posted August 1, 2021 Was somewhat surprised that Brokstedt announced yesterday evening that everything was ready for the meeting today. We had about an hour when the heavens just opened up and most of the rest of the day was wet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bavarian 763 Posted August 1, 2021 Today at Brokstedt the Dutch will be without Jeffrey Sijbesma. He was injured when he fell at a meeting in Nordhasted yesterday. Sijbesma will be replaced in the team of the Netherlands by their reserve rider Dave Meijerink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaboy279 1,038 Posted August 1, 2021 The pits look like a building side, without even a level floor or a roof. Why do we keep sending international riders to some dump of a farm in a middle of no where without infrastructure? Starts taking it towards mickey mouse sports like grasstrack. This is supposed to a professional sports major European Championship, not a gypos weekend in a field. Anyway anyone live streaming this, my original source has got zero phone signal.

This was the second (if not third) track in Germany willing to host the meeting. At this time (especially since it seems all other track racing in Germany has been cancelled dueto covid), one should just ve happy that there is a meeting to ride in.

Is that the new track in Neubrandenburg ? There was a track years ago. If that is the one you mean, yes it is all looking positive. Slow, but going forward 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaboy279 1,038 Posted August 1, 2021 Next year I hope to get to a couple of German tracks over a weekend, I may come to you for advice on where is accessible via train relatively easily. (I don't drive and don't like to fly) so I am quite accustomed to European trains and coaches. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
