  1. I've been told that it is a new television channel called PRTV. apparently its run by some magazine dude
  2. I think Gollob and Greg have showed that peaks can come pretty late in the career and Lindgren will be 28 and KK 29 this year. So I think that claiming that they already have reached their peak is a little too early.
  3. Of course its their business, he is one of their riders. Regarding the legal matter, well FIM have a very similar clause in their licensing application so doubt that it would be illegal to have such a term in the contract. The official statement from the team also said that Dackarna have contacted Poole and Torun to try to make an effort together, both for Darcy's sake but also show that they fully deprecate themselves from the use of drugs and doping substances.
  4. Darcy's Swedish team Dackarna have fined Darcy with a 6-figure sum* for breaching his contract in which there is a zero-tolerance clause for drugs and doping, which means that if a rider is caught using drugs and doping substances he will be fined by the team. * In Swedish money which means that the fines are at least £10'000. http://www.expressen...-drogskandalen/
  5. Rospiggarna have signed Kauko Nieminen and Daniel Henderson. They replace Jari Mäkinen och Kalle Katajisto. http://norrteljetidning.se/sport/1.1999384-de-ar-rospiggarnas-tva-sista-nyforvarv
  6. I could be wrong but I think FIM ruled against allowing new silencers for at least two more seasons.
  7. the world championship final at Studenternas in Uppsala will be covered by a one hour summary by SVT. The finals will also be live at SVT-play. I am not sure if these streams will be available outside Sweden, if they are I will let you know, http://www.unt.se/sport/hoppar-jamfota-av-gladje-2308270.aspx http://www.aktuellspeedway.se/news.php/2013/03/05/isracing-vm-finalerna-fr-n-uppsala-i-svt.html
  8. Results nordic championship: http://www.ikarossmederna.nu/?page=news&newsid=2600
  9. A short summary: Tthe city council of Poznan wants to build to new sports arenas in Poznan. Unfortunately forspeedway in Poznan, the location of these two arenas are where the speedway track is located and speedway are not included in the plans for the new arenas.
  10. So what you are saying is that allot of us tried to get away from the police when they are trying to stop use when we were driving an uninsured, unregistered motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and cannabis? I pretty much doubt that many of us have done something like that. I also recommend you to read FIM anti-doping code; http://www.fim-live.com/fileadmin/alfresco/6572010_eng.pdf Particular "Fundamental Rationale for the Code and FIM’s Anti-­Doping Rules", "Scope" and Appendix 1+2.
  11. Masarna have decided to break the contract with Kauko Nieminen since he have signed with two teams in England and that would mean to many schedule conflicts. They will replace him with Daniel Jeleniewski. http://www.masarna.n...er.cgi?id=24373
  12. The fixtures for the new junior series have been released and they can be found in this post. The Junior series is a U21 series for the teams in Elitserien.with a total of 4 meetings and with 6 teams in each meeting. Each team will have three riders of which two will have scheduled heats. I don't know much more at the moment and I have not seen a heat schedule yet but I assume it will be clarified when the 2013 series rules are released, whenever that is.
  13. Start list for the Nordic Championship final on Friday at Smedstadion, Eskilstuna. http://www.ikarossme...ews&newsid=2597 Also does anyone know if Timo Kankkunen is related to Juha Kankkunen?
  14. A Danish article about Darcy: http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/anden_sport/motorsport/speedway/article1925425.ece I don't like what the article is implying that FIM might look through the fingers because Darcy is the new big star in Speedway and that Monster might put pressure on FIM to look through their fingers since they have been backing Darcy and since they have invested allot of money in the sport.
  15. for the record, Cannabis IS listed as a forbidden substance by WADA. Page 8: http://www.wada-ama.org/Documents/World_Anti-Doping_Program/WADP-Prohibited-list/2013/WADA-Prohibited-List-2013-EN.pdf
  16. Smederna have been awarded the Nordic Championship with fairly short notice. It will be held on Friday next week; http://www.ikarossmederna.nu/?page=news&newsid=2596
  17. Results: Stefan Svensson (won all his heats) Robert Henderson Fredrik Johansson Very good battle between Svensson and Henderson in both of the heats that they met in. Posa rode good as well during the qualifying heats but made a mistake and fell while being in last place.
