andout 661 Posted June 16, 2020 The FIM, the Promoter One Sport, the Polish Motorcycling Federation (PZM) and the German Motorsport Federation (DMSB) regret to announce the cancellation of the 2020 FOGO FIM Speedway U21 World Championship Final 1 previously postponed and of the final 2 originally set to take place on 05 September in Stralsund, Germany. The ongoing coronavirus outbreak and resulting calendar changes now sadly oblige the cancellation of these two events. All parties continue to monitor the situation and will communicate further information once it is possible and appropriate to do so. FIM & One Sport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In theory there should be a rider from Germany, Denmark, Slovenia, France, Italy, Latvia, Russia, Sweden, Ukraine,Finland and USA plus a WC Edited June 19, 2020 by racers and royals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,145 Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Is Gleb Chuganov not elegible this year? Don’t know for who, now confused - Russia or Poland Edited June 20, 2020 by OveFundinFan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you read Castanga in the SS he’s says he will select from Nations,but will also make changes to ensure it’s the best riders are there.Surely Chuganov would be one of the wild cards.

Probably- because reading the article again it`s clear the 15 SON competing nations won`t be all represented in this competition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsukunov has made a decision to change his nationality. Things like these come with a price, live with it. Gleb would probably win it, but if the Poles have not named him...

crescent girl 1,908 Posted June 20, 2020 It is possible/probable that Poland would prefer to nominate "real Poles" for selection, rather than "flag of convenience" carpetbaggers. Poland putting Chuganov forward would be like the ACU pushing Rory Schlein into a GP as the British representative. It might be official and legal, but Poland is a very proud nation, and might fight shy of making such a move. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I am saying is he will probably get a wild card.Poland won’t put him forward ,it would cause to much trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think even the wild cards have to be nominated by a federation, to be considered by the FIM for inclusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,397 Posted June 21, 2020 Castagna said the U/21 commission confirms the field( whoever they are)and they also removed some of the weaker riders replacing them with riders from other Nations.”we also removed the weaker riders “suggests Castagna had a say .We shall see!! 19 minutes ago, crescent girl said: I think even the wild cards have to be nominated by a federation, to be considered by the FIM for inclusion.
