The latest news from FIM is that Laukkanen will be replacing Hampel on Saturday.

Does anyone know where I could find some photos from Outrup-Holstebro meeting on Wednesday? I've already sent an email to speedway-league.com webmaster, but I haven't received any reply from him yet.

That is correct. If anyone experiences any problems regarding booking the tickets for Slovenian GP, please let me know and I'll try to help.

Here are some foreign forums where you can post the news about petition to get more countries: Russia, Latvia, Ukraine: http://forum.speedway.ru/ France: http://www.ccpffm.com/forum/ Hungary: http://www.speedway.hu/forum/forum.htm

I suggest you send an email to Nina Kastner: nina.kastner@aon.at.

Slovenian motorcycle federation AMZS has sent the following proposal for the Grand Prix of Slovenia in Krsko on September 22nd to the FIM: Wild card: Izak Santej Reserves: Jernej Kolenko, Maks Gregoric

Ferjan.

http://espeedway.pl/live4_.php

We (at http://www.speedway.si) did some interviews with Ferjan, slovenian team manager and slovenian speedway comission president last year and this is what we were told. He was invited into Slovenian team by our team manager, so I don't think that our federation didn't want him. From what we were told, he first agreed to ride for Slovenia in the SWC qualifier, but then didn't show up in Miskolc. Apparently he wanted our federation to make an agreement with hungarian federation, but Hungarians informed our federation that Ferjan doesn't have hungarian passport so he can't ride for them anyway. Ferjan then demanded our federation to get permission from his hungarian club to allow him to ride for Slovenia. Which of course is a complete nonsense - why should a hungarian club prevent rider with slovenian citizenship to ride for Slovenia? And there was no meeting with that club involved during that weekend anyway. At the end, Ferjan didn't come to Miskolc and we had to use other rider. Slovenian federation took his non-appearance very seriously and started an internal disciplinary case against Ferjan (please be aware that although Ferjan rides on hungarian licence, hungarian federation has to get permission from our federation to be allowed to issue Ferjan a hungarian licence - this is because he is still a citizen of Slovenia and according to FIM rules needs permission for foreign licence). Our federation even tried to prevent Ferjan from riding until the case is finished, but FIM rejected this request and Ferjan was allowed to continue with riding. I'm not quite sure how this saga ended, but one of slovenian tabloids later reported that Ferjan was thinking of filing a lawsuit against our federation. I haven't heard anything about that since.

He should have it by the end of this week. From what my sources are telling me, his passport is going to print as we speak.

As officials here in Ljubljana told me, they didn't receive a signing-on form for Bridger for this meeting.

Yes, Lewis didn't turn up. There are only 17 riders participating in this meeting.

Just a few comments regarding the incidents in Lonigo: the "attack" thing was indeed a bad translation from my side. I didnt' mean that Carpanese literally attacked Lukas, what I meant was that he wanted to pass him (in such cases in Slovenian language we use a word that directly translates to attack). And about Dryml exclusions: I just wrote what my colleague who was in Lonigo described to me on the phone. Lukas just wanted too much and tried to pass the oponents in situations where there simply wasn't enough space for the pass. I didn't mean that it was a deliberate move, I just explained that Lukas was the cause of the crashes. Although, as I David said after the meeting, Lukas told him that heat 5 crash was actually David's fault .
