USA is the first nation to officially enter a team for the SWC qualifier in Ljubljana on May 5th: 1. Greg Hancock 2. Billy Hamill 3. Ryan Fisher 4. Ricky Wells

Yes, I agree with that. That's why we invited them to join the junior championship, because we knew they have some good riders. By the way, Vicar, I noticed some mistakes on your website. Slovenia-Czech republic meeting on 24.3. was in Ljubljana, not in Krsko. And it wasn't an international challenge match, it was a 4 nations (Slovenia, Slovakia, Croatia, Czech republic) Team Cup meeting.

Slovenian team will be declared after the 2nd round of our junior championship, on April 7th. Possible team members are: Matic Ivacic, Nejc Malesic, Ziga Radkovic, Kristian Revinsek, Ladislav Vida and Jernej Pecnik. U21 championship started today with the 1st round in Donji Kraljevec. The big final was won by Ivacic, ahead of Benko, Milik and Revinsek. Here are the complete official results: 1. Matic Ivačič SLO 3,X,2,3,3,3 = 14 2. Roland Benko H 2,3,3,3,2,2 = 15 3.

And the 2012 season started in Slovenia, too. Round 2 of CZ-SK-HR-SLO team cup competition was held yesterday in Ljubljana. Slovenia hosted Czech Republic and won easily.

One change in the U21 calendar: the meeting in Gyula has been moved from 14th July to 11th August.

You mean from this year, from Liberec? Liberec, 14.8.2011 Czech republic 48 9. Jan Holub (3,1,1,2,2') 9+1 10. Michal Skurla (1,0) 1 11. Michal Dudek (1',1,3) 5 12. Daniel Hadek (2,0,0) 2 13.

The calendar for the common senior, junior and team cup competitions is now complete. Check my first post for the dates. Four dates for the team cup competition have been added and two of the existing dates (one for the senior and one for the junior championship) have been amended.

I can confirm that this is true for Slovenia and Croatia. Best Slovenian rider in the senior championship is Slovenian champion and best Croatian rider is Croatian champion. And likewise for U21 championship. But I think it's not the same for Hungary and Austria. Hungary only participates in the common U21 championship with 2 riders and they are both from Gyula (Benko, Nagy). Not sure about Austria and which two riders will participate in this competition next year. But I don't think Austria has an U21 championship.

Yes, the UEM track racing committee had it's meeting on November 5th in Denmark where the calendar was supposed to be finalized. But it seems they had some last minute cancellations and they are trying to find new organizers...

Not sure about the FIM calendar. Our federation received it last week and from that email it appears that the calendar has been finished. I was told the UEM calendar is awaiting the confirmation from the UEM management committee, which is supposed to happen next week. After that, the press release including the calendar will be issued.

And here I start with the 2012 edition of Slovenian speedway news. Main rules and calendar for 2012 season have been discussed and fixed yesterday in Lendava, Slovenia, where the representatives of Slovenia, Croatia, Czech republic, Slovakia and Hungary met. * Senior championship continues with the cooperation of Slovenia and Croatia. A/B group format will again be used and in case there is not enough riders from these two countries, the lineups will be filled with riders from Czech republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia. * Junior championship continues with the cooperation of Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary (Gyula) and Austria will join this competition next year. The Austrians will stage one meeting (Natschbach) and two Austrian riders will participate in all 6 rounds of the championship * Team cup continues with the cooperation of Slovenia, Croatia, Czech republic and Slovakia. As some of the countries lack riders (Croatia, Slovakia) it was decided to use the format with two teams and 5 riders per team (similar to the Danish league) Here is also the calendar: Senior championship (SLO-HR) 8.4. Krško 14.4. Ljubljana 28.4. Donji Kraljevec 26.5. Lendava U21 championship (SLO-HR-H-A) 25.3. Donji Kraljevec 7.4. Lendava 12.5. Natschbach 13.5. Krško 23.6. Ljubljana 11.8. Gyula Team cup (SLO-HR-CZ-SK) 23.3. Donji Kraljevec, HR-CZ 24.3. Ljubljana, SLO-CZ 12.5. Pardubice, CZ-SK 13.5. Žarnovica, SK-CZ 9.6. Donji Kraljevec, HR-SK 10.6. Donji Kraljevec, HR-SLO 29.6. Pardubice, CZ-SLO 5.8. Žarnovica, SK-HR 31.8. Lendava, SLO-HR 1.9. Liberec, CZ-HR 2.9. Žarnovica, SK-SLO 7.10. Krško, SLO-SK

Where did you get this info from? Very uneven rounds, if you ask me. Germany, USA, Finland and Latvia in the same round?? Hard to believe. But it would make the job much easier for us in Ljubljana. By the way: at the moment Croatia doesn't have 5 riders to even build a national team. And where is Czech republic?

Last round of U21 championship that was supposed to be staged in Lendava on Oct.16th in cancelled. The main reason is a lot of recent injuries (Kovacic, Ilijas, Revinsek, Zupancic) and only 9 riders were entered. 2011 U21 championship is officially concluded, with 4 rounds staged. Final standings: 1 Dino Kovačić HRV 18 18 20 20 = 76 2 Aleksander Čonda SLO 16 20 18 14 = 68 3 Matic Ivačič SLO 13 15 13 18 = 59 4 Roland Benko MAD 14 14 15 15 = 58 5 Jasmin Ilijaš HRV 15 12 16 12 = 55 6 Nejc Malešič SLO 20 16 14 - = 50 7 Patrik Nagy MAD 11 9 11 16 = 47 8 Ladislav Vida SLO 10 13 9 11 = 43 9 Jernej Pečnik SLO 12 10 8 10 = 40 10 Žiga Radkovič SLO 8 8 10 13 = 39 11 Kristian Revinšek SLO 9 11 12 - = 32 12 Nejc Kladušan SLO - - 7 9 = 16 13 Nik Zupančič SLO - - 6 8 = 14 This is it as far as meetings in Slovenia are concerned for 2011. See you next year.

Matej Zagar won the 4th and last round of 2011 Slovenian-Croatian senior championship held in Krsko yesterday. Dino Kovacic was 2nd and, surprise of the day, 18 year old Matic Ivacic was 3rd.

That is correct. Due to injuries and various other reasons we are not able build a team of five riders on our own, so our friends from Croatia will help us to build the team.
