Hopefully live video coverage of today`s 1st round- meeting starts at 12pm UK time. Will post nearer start time.( fingers crossed) This is a live fixed camera in Togliatti stadium https://tv.ivideon.com/camera/100-e6b4c73769a6c4c42635e05152ca9b55/0?lang=ru&fbclid=IwAR2AN-S-lyK0V15YERXoSCcdGR1Vgn7WbmpYpcNh36xAYk6RxY6j69kx91M

French league has been delayed until May at the earliest.

That’s one hell of a trip to get to Krosno for the next day- 650 KM new date Friday August 27th ??

Onesport have taken over as promoters for this event in 2021- which is good news as that should mean that it will be televised live(probably Eurosport)

Gorzow in June almost certainly.

If it was April 1st i could believe it !!!

Sadly never going to happen. There is just not the money in the sport worldwide to entertain this. Sponsors are not exactly queuing up even for the GP`s. To make it meaningful each team would need to meet each other( at least once). The cost of staging 2 meetings in Australia would be astronomical.

Thanks for the info- that date is the day before the 2nd round of the World U 21 individual championships in Krosno. A decent weekend of U 21 action in prospect.

Have you been on the sauce ? PL= Premiership CL= Championship. Last time i looked Poole were in the CL. Have i missed something ??

I`m not sure a refund will be as easy in 2021 as it was in 2020- don`t forget they ran 2 meetings back to back in 2020. If a full house is allowed in October 2021 then in my opinion ticket refunds will be extremely difficult to obtain.

Bruce Penhall i reckon

Yes- meeting start times are UK times Saturday 13th February 12noon Sunday 14th February 10am

If nothing unexpected happens, the French league will start again in Europe. According to the published schedule, the Ligue Nationale de Speedway will start on February 28, and the French will know the champion of the country on April 18 at the latest. In 2020, the fight for the French championship also began in February. After the outbreak of the pandemic, however, the games had to be stopped and they did not return until August. If the plans of the French authorities succeed, this season the champion of the country will be able to emerge much faster, because the last round of the Ligue Nationale de Speedway was scheduled for April 18. The title will be defended by Moto Club Réolais La Réole, which suffered only one defeat last season. It is the clash of the Southwestern France team that will kick off the season. The country's champions will travel to Morizès, who finished last in the LNdS last season. The other two teams are MC Lamothe-Landerron and MC Marmande. Schedule of the Ligue Nationale de Speedway: February 28: Morizès Moto Club - Moto Club Réolais La Réole March 7: Moto Club Lamothe-Landerron - Morizès Moto Club Moto Club Lamothe-Landerron - Moto Club Réolais La Réole March 14: Moto Club Lamothe-Landerron - Moto Club Marmande March 20: Moto Club Marmande - Moto Club Lamothe-Landerron March 27: Marmande motorcycle - Moto Club Réolais La Réole Moto Club Marmande - Morizès Moto Club April 4: Moto Club Réolais La Réole - Morizès Moto Club April 11: Morizès Moto Club - Moto Club Lamothe-Landerron Morizès Moto Club - Moto Club Marmande April 18: Moto Club Réolais La Réole - Moto Club Marmande Moto Club Réolais La Réole - Moto Club Lamothe-Landerron

Article- Google translated We learned the verdict in the case of Maksym Drabik. The speedway rider for breaking anti-doping rules was suspended for 12 months. Therefore, he will be able to return to practicing speedway on October 30 this year. After extremely long proceedings, lasting over 16 months, we finally have the final of the case of Maksym Drabik. Or at least some part of it, because it should be remembered that the parties have the right to appeal against this judgment to a higher instance. The Disciplinary Panel at the Polish Doping Agency punished the competitor with a one-year suspension. The penalty is counted from the moment of temporary suspension of the player by POLADA, which took place on October 30 last year. Let us remind you that the whole thing started with the rematch final match of PGE Ekstraliga 2019, when Maksym Drabik - representing Betard Sparta Wrocław at the time - admitted to taking more drip than is allowed. The speedway rider applied for retroactive approval for therapeutic purposes, which would clear him of the charges, but did not obtain it. The case was also examined by the Arbitration Tribunal at the Polish Olympic Committee, but also there the speedway rider's request to take into account retrospective consent to taking an increased dose of drip was not granted. On January 25, Maksym Drabik held a hearing before the Disciplinary Panel, and after a few days the verdict was announced. - We believe in Maksym's return to the speedway tracks as soon as possible. We hope that he will develop his great talent, enjoyed his ride and achieved sports results - the Wrocław Sports Society said in a statement. Maksym Drabik is suspended until October 29, 2021, and he will be able to start training on the track on August 30 - two months before the suspension expires.
