Conkers 67 Posted September 15, 2022 At the moment, only Inzell and Berlin have confirmed dates, and I suspect the current situation will exclude any Russian involvement in the World Championship next season. Berlin plan to run from March 2 - 5. The Geman Championship is pencilled in for Thursday March 2. Inzell will run over the weekend of March 17 - 19, with Gunther Bauer's farewell on Friday March 17 No doubt Heerenveen will announce their dates shortly. There is nothing on Speedway Press about the Russian season, but they usually announce the fixtures in October. Whether it's possible to watch any meetings that are streamed will depend on whether or not they are on a site that's not being blocked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bavarian 767 Posted September 16, 2022 There might also be a couple of meetings in Poland agin this winter, but there are as yet no confirmed dates. But I wonder how much longer will the FIM continue to run it as an official world championship? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric i 620 Posted September 16, 2022 I thought a lot of the ice races were Russian, will the FIM let them ride under a neutral flag or will they be band? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Russians can't ride in FIM Events. This is part of the Press Release by the FIM on March 5th: Quote To suspend, for the Motorcycle Federation of Russia (MFR) and the Belarusian Federation of Motorcycle Sport (BFMS), the issuance of FIM licences and the FIM licences already distributed. To suspend the functions of persons from MFR and BFMS acting as FIM Officials and as Commissions members/experts/agents of the FIM. As a result, no Russian and Belarusian riders, teams and officials can take part in any FIM Events and activities.

Not much longer I would have thought, its going to be a little amateurish without Russia. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,996 Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) I just wonder how the energy prices will affect ice rinks ver the winter, what with everyone else complaining they will hit trouble. I would have thought an ice track outdoors even mre is very expensive Found this from Bavaria, about problems with Ice arenas raising prices to try and cover higher energy costs and even raising the temperature of the ice !! https://www.br.de/nachrichten/bayern/energiekosten-eisstadien-erhoehen-preise-und-die-eistemperatur,TEBjCGu Edited September 16, 2022 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,996 Posted October 31, 2022 See the Horst Dohm stadium have been hit with some delivery problems, and their ice season has been postponed. Should have already opened, but now won't open until December 1st. But they are seeing a postive in the shortened season in that their energy costs will be lower !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schwantz34 17 Posted November 30, 2022 Nice to see Khuzin and Toloknov back from some horrendous injuries late last season. What a shame about the curtailed WC season, can only hope that the devastation in Ukraine stops soon ( for various reasons ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conkers 67 Posted December 4, 2022 Looks like the FIM are still not allowing Russian Riders to compete outside their home country, after the FIM General Assembly in Rimini. Quote "After careful consideration of the situation, we have decided to maintain our decisions taken at the extraordinary meeting of the Board of Directors on March 5, 2022," The Russian Ice season starts next weekend (10/11 December) does anyone know if we will be able to watch the meetings, or are the links all blocked?
