Well, it's possible Iris, you never know ... No, my avatar has nothing to do with Matej's 2006 club in Britain. I was just cheering for the Aces in this year's EL, that's reason for my avatar (and the other one being that there's still not a Slovenian avatar to choose ).

Lousy excuse . BTW : who was that hot babe next to you ? (showing her thongs all the time )

I just don't understand what's that Coca cola doing there ??? From what I saw in Lonigo ... Matt was drinking everything but Coca cola .

Fritzi is 19 years old to be correct and he is quite a prospect. Although I must say after watching him now for a couple of seasons I don't think he'll be a world beater. But it would be interesting to see him riding in British premier league for example. He has a very attractive riding style and can also be a little dangerous with his on track attitude. Apart from Pavlic who will apparently be making a visit to British isle at the of the september, Croatians have another big prospect in Nikola Martinec (here a picture of him from Ljubljana http://www.slospeedway.net/images/dp_ljubl...bljana/lj29.jpg ) who is only 14 years old and has already shown his huge talent in slovenian-croatian-austrian championship this season. Slovenia at the moment doesn't have a rider that I would name a big prospect. We have just recently started working intensively with young riders but it's too early to say if some of them can follow Matej Ferjan and Matej Zagar. The best of them at the moment is Ales Kraljic at the age of 20, but then there are younger riders like Samo Kukovica, Davor Volk, Maks Gregoric, Matic Secnik and Matic Voldrih who are pretty good but still have a lot to learn.

That's great to hear When exactly are you going from Lonigo to Catez ? There's a speedway meeting in Ljubljana (on your way to Catez) the next day after the GP, so you can stop and watch it ! The entrance is FREE . It's the 5th round of Slovenian-Austrian-Croatian championship, so you could see the likes of Zagar, Kolenko, Hauzinger, Wallner and Pavlic in action.

I will be there for sure . And also many Slovenian fans are travelling to Lonigo, at least one bus, but probably 2 or even 3. Plus those with their own vehicles. LONIGO HERE WE COME !!!

I've done a little research and, yes, there's a train station in Donji Kraljevec, which is the nearest city to the place where the stadium is situated (basically in the middle of the field). Donji Kraljevec can be reached from Slovenia (via Ormoz border and Cakovec) and also from Croatian capital Zagreb

Photos from the opening of the new "Millenium stadium" in Donji Kraljevec can be found here : (courtesy of Slovenian photographer Borut Cvetko) http://novo.mediaspeed.net/skupina.asp?id=3&skupina=132

I have it on a very good authority that Slovenian superstar Matej Zagar will be riding in Gp of Italy on September 10th as a wild card !!! This hasn't been officially confirmed by BSI and FIM, but there is a very good chance that it will happen in the next couple of weeks. I got this information from MC Lonigo, the organizer of this meeting, and I also found out that Italian commission, responsible for Italian GP wild card proposal, decided to send the following proposal to the BSI : - wild card : Matej Zagar - track reserves : Simone Terenzani and Daniele Tessari An excellent news for Matej and his supporters from Slovenia and all over the world. He'll get another chance to show his huge talent (this time on "neutral" track) and to convince BSI to give him a permanent wild card for next season.

According to UEM website it's August 20th. http://uem-online.org/oms-main/pagecompone...c=125-2-3&link=

Hi Iris. I'm sorry i didn't reply to your post on german forum. Yes, I wasn't happy with many things, and I wasn't the only one. The track was just disastrous !!! There were some huge holes on the track that caused at least 7 riders to fall. Beside that, 8 cms big stones were there on the track that could kill some rider if he would get it in the head - fortunately it only ended with a small wound on Jura Pavlic's hand. The referee - well, how can he call himself a referee, I really don't know ?!?! In heat 4 he lifted the tapes too early, when the riders weren't even ready for the start ! All in Hauzinger's favour, of course. Plus there were many flying and unsatisfactory starts that also weren't noticed and fined. And above all - after heat 14 some riders complained that the on the second turn, the holes were so big, that the track is too dangerous. Therefore, they drew new white line cca 1m from the original one. Then some other riders complained about that, so they decided to continue riding using original white line in heat 15 and 16. After heat 16, team managers again met and decided to continue the meeting without narrowing the track. But Austrian organizers again drew that new white line ?!?!? A complete farse of a meeting !!!

Well, it's not my fault that you can't read slovenian letters .
