uk_martin 1,606 Posted November 17, 2014 20.06 - Final 1 - Torun 11.07 - Final 2 - tba 15.08 - Final 3 - tba 19.09 - Final 4 - tba What gets priority? The SEC or the World u21 Championships? There are quite a few conflicting dates, and presumably the organisers are keeping fingers crossed that no-one (e.g. Martin Smolinski) could be involved with the World Long Track championships either, as that conflicts as well.

DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted November 17, 2014 If a rider qualifies for the U21 championship (FIM) then he can't compete in the SEC (FIM Europe). We saw the same with Smoli last year when he qualified for the Longtrack challenge and therefore he couldn't compete in the SEC round in Denmark. Teams should not be a problem as it doesn't have a qualify system. The manager picks his team and that's it. It's up to the rider if he agrees or not.

In that case we "know" all the venues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted November 17, 2014 Yeah I think so, believe they signed a two year contract after the first event in 2013. It seems that the story on the German forum about Esbjerg running a SEC round is 'wrong information' (aka not right at all). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topsoil 2,498 Posted November 18, 2014 Any idea if the Pairs events which ran last season will be ran again in 2015? Enjoyed those meetings. If so, does anybody know the dates? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted November 18, 2014 Yes it will run again, and also three rounds. The tournament starts on March 28 in Torun, the other two dates are TBA. Rumours suggest that Gustrow will run a round in April. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DutchGrasstrack 804 Posted November 24, 2014 Best Pairs event two will be held in Gustrow on April 11. Should be officially confirmed by One Sport tomorrow but German media already published the news. http://www.ostsee-zeitung.de/Region-Rostock/Guestrow/Sport-Guestrow/Paukenschlag-fuer-Motorsportfans-WM-Rennen-im-April-2015 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 1,497 Posted November 24, 2014 Best Pairs does not often produce good speedway. Two guys making a road block for the other pair is not entertaining and the scoring system is iffy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
