iris123 Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 About 30 miles away was flooded this morning and there is a storm warning for the area right now. And it carries in for the next few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Might be a change to the line-up's (or format) as I am led to believe that Finland have withdrawn from the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wonder if Italy might be able to save the day !!!- as you allude to it could be a 3 team qualifier. Not sure how they are going to work out the finalists ? 2 semi`s to find 3 teams for the final. Ok if both the same format- highest scoring 2nd- but if 1 runs as a 3 team that goes out the window !!!

I did wonder a few days ago, but seeing as our Finnish expert hasn't posted, do we think he is again waiting for the official news or it isn't true. They do have a track record to be admired though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decision was then made on monday to withdraw the whole team to allow the organisers maximum time to make necessary changes. I wonder about the amount of rubbish hitting the fan had there really been (test results out now, neg) a covid positive person or persons in the Seinäjoki pits last weekend. Every rider was there with their crews and we’ve yet to reach halfway of our season… Edited July 30, 2021 by f-s-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been some heavy rain, even flooding in areas near Brokstedt (Bad Segeberg for instance just 30 miles away) and rain, some heavy all day today, and a lot of tomorrow. But maybe they are lucky and are just outside the rain. Tbh in Hamburg we haven't had much more than a small shower Today’s weather symbol Edited July 31, 2021 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 As a Berwick fan, really annoying, as with Leon riding for us tonight we have a chance of knocking out Glasgow in the cup, but without him, it’s not going to happen really, going to be so frustrating if it gets rained off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Was somewhat surprised that Brokstedt announced yesterday evening that everything was ready for the meeting today. We had about an hour when the heavens just opened up and most of the rest of the day was wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Today at Brokstedt the Dutch will be without Jeffrey Sijbesma. He was injured when he fell at a meeting in Nordhasted yesterday. Sijbesma will be replaced in the team of the Netherlands by their reserve rider Dave Meijerink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 The pits look like a building side, without even a level floor or a roof. Why do we keep sending international riders to some dump of a farm in a middle of no where without infrastructure? Starts taking it towards mickey mouse sports like grasstrack. This is supposed to a professional sports major European Championship, not a gypos weekend in a field. Anyway anyone live streaming this, my original source has got zero phone signal.

This was the second (if not third) track in Germany willing to host the meeting. At this time (especially since it seems all other track racing in Germany has been cancelled dueto covid), one should just ve happy that there is a meeting to ride in.

There was of course the meeting in Nordhastedt not far away. Also today is another meeting in Parchim and Stralsund will host the German Individual final soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
