So how does that affect Speedway? Could Emil still be the best rider to never have won the World Championship if he wins the SGP series? Just noticed on the SGP website there's no flag on the Russian GP which is being called the Togliatti GP. Would the national anthem be played if one of the Ruskies won? Just checked the F1 website, they also have no flag for Russia but are still calling the Russian GP, the Russian GP.

Basically they cant call themselves Russia or claim it was a win for Russia if either win the GP.  It all seems lip service to me tbh and something I get bitter about.  A friend of mine and her hubby lost in the World Mixed Doubles (curling obv) to Russia in Sweden in 2016. one of the athletes who was found to be abusing the rules was the Russian male in the pairing.  He was found guilty but they didnt take the title off them.

If Emil wins the SGP he WILL be world champion.  The reason the GP is being called Togliatti and there is no flag is to allow them to hold it.  Technically it shouldnt really be getting referred to as the Russian GP. Anthem I have no idea about but we might find out soon with Emil.  Its all stupid stuff down to the international authorities not being willing to come down hard on the drug culture within the Russian Sports system

Used to be 12 !!! 1st Warsaw meeting !!!

If a SGP Meeting is interrupted or suspended for any reason whatsoever, the following rules will apply:
1. If the meeting is interrupted before Heat 16 is accomplished, and the remaining heats cannot be completed the same day, then the results are not taken into consideration and the whole meeting must be re- staged in accordance with Art. 1.4 - Dates of the meeting.

Why they keep on about heat 16? Does gp have own rules?

 

EDIT: they do
