Line up for the meeting at the weekend.Cup of Russia(?)Not too sure of the name as there appears to have been a battle for control of Russian Ice speedway,between 2 motorbike federations.The FIM and UEM seem to have backed the MFR.The word "crisis" has been used,which isn't something you would expect in Russian Ice speedway!Seems also the Saransk meeting the following weekend(Russian semi)has been cancelled due to bad weather.not enough snow! 1.N.Krasnikov 2.J.Kryskin 3.M.Bogdanov 4.D.Karpuhin 5.S.Baltachev 6.S.Kasakov 7.E.Dydykin 8.J.Polikarpov 9.D.Bulankin 10.V.Chapalov 11.A.Arkhipov 12.A.Gavrilkin 13.I.Drozdov 14.I.Kononov 15.A.Selifonov 16.A.Shishegov 17.R.Mustafin 18.E.Kamalov

Ruslan Mustafin,conkers.Not too sure on that one. Seems this one is the MFR Cup.At the same time at Kamensk-Uralsk,the Cup of Russia will be held.Pressumably by the other authority vieing for control of Russian speedway

Here is a pic of the track.Think it is a horse riding hall,so....dirt

I'm hoping to be there,despite what i have seen described as a "pornoshow" as off track entertainment Or is that because of the show There was some concern shown because of the 50cc riders from Denmark being in close proximity to the topless women

Good news on Günther Bauer.He had a succesful operation last week.Just before, he was back on an Ice bike at his own track,his son as well!More here

Have to agree.Taking all things into account some very good results from the "western" riders.Tschatschin as well.And you can only be amazed at Posa.Every year you think he must pack up now,surely he can't keep up with these young guns,but the guy keeps coming out and stays among the elite.Respect Results from the quali meeting 10.12(points were 2,1,0 until finals) D.Tschatschin(2,2,2,2)+3 E.Krysov(1,2,2,2)+2 S.Koltakov(2,1,2,1)+1 A.Noskov(1,1,1,1)+0 S.Ardrjukov(2,0,0,2)+3 D.Koltakov(1,1,1,0)+2 M.Koltakov(0,2,0,0)+1 A.Rodin(0,0,0,1)+0 M.Zelepukin(0,0,1,-)

Wonder what went on with Antti as it seemed he only came out for 3 rides and completed only the one with second place Krasnikov as well won the 3 heats he finished,but fell once at least Interesting interview with Stefan Pletschacher this month where he mentions problems with riding in Russia.Amongst them problems for western riders with local police whenever something is stolen and fined for mysterious things!

Have to agree with you there.How much does a speedway track weigh considering it is spread out around the pitch.Add a few tractors,etc

Point of interest Bert.See that ex-Belle Vue ace Jimmy McMillan is machine examiner for the Ice speedway World championship qualifier in Finland.

Ice speedway,Bert!

If anyone fancies taking in the final rounds at Erfurt the promoters have what looks like a fantastic deal.A seat for both days+ programme and one night in the Radisson SAS+ breakfast,all for just 95€(double room) or 109€(single)

Germany have announced the riders for the quali's M.Schultz and C.Hefenbrock ride at Tarnow T.Stange and M.Smolinski at Miskolc Good to see that they didn't go for some of the oldies

I would assume they won't all be used at once Henry.Risager,Moller and Pettersson are all juniors.What with Polish juniors as well,can't see them getting in unless the opposition is very poor.Maybe hardly used in the first team at all,just in junior competitions for Henrik and Robert.Morten is a different class.

There was also the case of Alois Wiesbock,who was banned for riding in a World Championship qualifier for his brother.I imagine like those marathon runners who go to the toilet and someone else comes out in their kit to complete the race.Alis brother goes to the loo and his Alois came out with the leathers and helmet on....
