Well this is interesting - 5 riders level for the last qualifying place at Lonigo!

He owes me some throat sweets after that one!

In the commentary box ready for Lejonen v Vastervik, weather looks great!

Hello from the commentary box for Smederna v Indianerna, hope the rain holds off!

It's a pain in the backside for TV commentators too!

Full line-up for the opening round is here - I will be on comms for FIM Moto TV, meeting begins at 3pm UK time. https://live.baansportfansite.nl/event/986/fim-flat-track-world-championship-terenzano.html

Hello from the commentary box.

Hello from the studio

And I am very pleased to announce that I will be back on commentary this season.

I thoroughly enjoyed that, thankyou to those who watched on the livestream!

Fine, ignore me!

Agreed. Stop with the stirring, witch-hunting and constant negativity that gives this place its bad name and let's concentrate on sending positive vibes to Tai and family.

What a spectacular and incident-packed meeting - I had great fun on the comms, many thanks to all who tuned in. Full results here - not only is Lukas Hutla the first rider from outside Russia and Austria to win the Euro title, he is the first Czech to win any major international ice racing title since 1974! https://live.baansportfansite.nl/event/911/european-individual-ice-speedway-championship-sanok.html

Franz Zorn will be aiming for a third European title in a row tomorrow at Sanok, but has only recently recovered from a foot injury sustained in Sweden in January and has only ridden one meeting since. He'll still be a favourite, along with Jimmy Olsén for Sweden, super-veteran Aki Ala-Riihimaki and new Finnish champion Max Koivula, Luca Bauer and Max Niedermaier for Germany and Lukas Hutla who has had a few wins recently including the World qualifier in Sweden - this might be the most open European for several years. First heat begins at 3pm UK time tomorrow, you can buy the live stream at http://www.tapesup.tv - I will be on commentary.
