Conkers 67 Posted February 19, 2009 Just receive a SMS from Stefan Pletschacher, who has had a phone call from Antonin Klatovsky. The competition in Osecna is also cancelled. Just spoke to Roger Newton. Graham Halsall got a call this Morning to say that the ice was melting and they've had about a meter of snow. I'm sure that one of these tracks was where they had problems last month, when the track started breaking up. Roger had left home to go to Grahams 40 minutes before Graham called him. He now has a weekend free. There is also a meeting planned for Norway on 8th March, where Roger and Mark are set to ride, but I can't find any details, if anyone in Scandinavia can help. The only one I can find is in Oslo on 21/3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian, the meeting on the 8th is being run by Jo Seatre (the Norwegian rider) and it will feature four British riders if everything goes to plan,as Kevin Rowand and Rob Irving are also included in the line up. This meeting in the last two years has been cancelled due to lack of ice, but this winter has been far colder. I'm the UK rider in the Oslo meeting. Just leaving for Finland now, the temperature looks good and I'm looking forward to a good weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted February 20, 2009 What a shame.. only 2 not-Russians in the European Championship this weekend in Saransk (Russia); Sven Holstein and Henri Malinen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 21,039 Posted February 20, 2009 What a shame.. only 2 not-Russians in the European Championship this weekend in Saransk (Russia); Sven Holstein and Henri Malinen. It is a shame...but it is a long expensive journey for a youngster......which makes you wonder about the proposal to hold an U21 GP in Argentina for instance...... But the Russians usually have to travel to the rest of Europe....at least in dirt track speedway.And there was a youngster in the 80cc YGT in Denmark last season i think.....

DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) Oh dear, oh dear.... looks like it's all over for Franky Zorn... just seen on his website that he's got a cervical fracture . "Hallo Fans ! Endlich wieder zu Hause. Russ war eigendlich ein toller erfolg, bis ich am Mittwoch vor UFA eine acute Harnröhren infection bekam u. beim training am Freitag in UFA sehr grosse schmerzen hatte. Mit meinem Haus Artzt abgesprochen schickte er mir ein Rezept nach Russland u. musste sofort Antibiotikum einnehmen. Am nächsten Tag ging ich schmerzfrei ins Rennen u. Stürtzte aber im ersten Heat mit Krasnikov u. zog mir wie sich zuhause feststellen lies einen Halswirbelbruch zu. Mein Team hat Spitze gearbeitet u. möchte mich dafür sehr Herzlich bedanken bei allen involvierten.

Conkers 67 Posted February 22, 2009 hi, my dad and me, we want to go to Berlin to race on 7th March and I am looking for some cheap accomodation somewhere close to the track. Can anyone help me? Thank you very much If you try Hotels Wilmersdorf in Last Minute.com or a similar site, there are hotels ranging in price which are close to the track. Be warned though - the hotels closest to the track do fill up quick. The track is about a 40 minute walk from the centre of Berlin. The nearest U-Bahn (underground) is Heidleberger Platz - about 5 minutes walk from the track, and the nearest S-bahn is Hohenzollerndamm which is accross the road from the entrance. Public transport is excellent so you could stay some distance away and the Bus/Train/Underground will get you there. Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MARK246 243 Posted February 22, 2009 Didn't Kevin ride then? Just back from Finland, the answer to the question is no. The same old problem for the British, his partner had another baby (when we were in Russia) and the cost of the ferries and travelling. It's a real shame as it was a well organised meeting and it would have been good experience for him. The problem will always remain, while British Ice Racing is rider (self) financed.
