Schwantz34 17 Posted March 26, 2022 That's a shame, young and one of the best riders from the west. Loved a wheelie which made for good viewing On the retirement theme I wonder what Khuzin and Toloknov will do after their injuries. I watched highlights of Togliatti which showed footage from the start finish. The Khuzin spill was extremely disturbing, crash was bad enough but seconds after he slid to a halt it was obvious his injuries must have been terrible. Just so glad he was reported to be ok a few days later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schwantz34 17 Posted March 30, 2022 Good luck to all the riders, and in particular for me Hans Weber. Been catching up with some of the Russian domestic stuff and Weber really has proved himself as competitive as I've seen anyone with the Russians. If he becomes champion, ignoring debates about the credibility of a win without the Russians, he most certainly would be worthy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the rider presentation in meetings i have been to have taken 30 minutes- one in Gorican springs to mind- Band, local dignitaries, school children and the funniest thing was Armando(jury president) at the head of the slow snake all the way round the track Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But my main argument was that after the last rider exits the track after presentation, two minutes for the first heat should go on. Not towait 15 minutes for it because it says so in the SR. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might have missed one or two practise sessions from the very start, but I was there in Hallstavik in the spring of whatevertheyearwas to see him ride and struggle with equipment (which I thought at the time was plain stupid). Winning a meeting must feel nice, I feel safe to say he’s not won anything since he was 16. Good for him!!! What ever happened in the final!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
