“All fans will need to wear an FFP2, KN95 or certified nano face mask for the duration of the event, and prove their Covid-19 status to gain entry to Marketa Stadium using one of the following methods:”

noticed this special mask requirement wasn’t enforced, nobody was wearing masks.

I noticed the same.  Isn't there a worldwide doping ban on Russian athletes/sportspersons.  Something to do with the Russian Fereration refusing to co-operate with WADA. So I think Russian competitors have to compete as athletes without representation or some such description, hence no flag.  I then think it's up to the sports governing body to decide if any Russia nationals are allowed to compete.  Presumably on the basis that they believe them to be free of doping and/or that the individuals have co-operated in testing.

I think the same will apply at the Olympics. Although in the Euro's the team was definitely referred to as Russia.

Interesting to see what happens at the SON.  Are Sayfutidinov and Laguta still the defending champs?

Noticed on the official FIM results that "Russia" was omitted alongside Sayfutdinov and Lagutas names.

I may be wrong but I think the rider's running the Anlas tyres were 1st & 2nd more often than Mitas & carried far greater straight line speeds too. 

Any stato to verify?? 

 

It would be nice to see which tyre each rider is using & engine manufacturer / tuner

To verify what exactly or just to knock Speedway :nono:which is a sport you now have no interest in. :wink:

If the ban is upheld by Wada's executive committee at a meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 9 December, and backed by the Court of Arbitration should Russia contest it, it would not include the European Championship as Uefa is not defined as a 'major event organisation' in regards to rulings on anti-doping breaches :D

Yeah, it seems to just be global events that are impacted. Russians in the SEC we're allowed to have their National identity as FIME events are not covered by the ban.

Don't mention weather forecasts! I mentioned it once... and didn't get away with it :lol:

Touch and go, I'd say.
