Were they promised the Junior final?Sometimes it takes a while to work up the ladder.You host a quali,then a semi and then maybe the final.But there are always a few teams in line.Every year obviously there are two teams who host a semi-final but only one team with the final.I know Stralsund said they were promised a Euro final but it has taken a few years to get it I would have thought the GP Challenge will go to Coventry or Poole

Just seen next years dates and Berlin and Assen have swapped,so the last GPs are in Assen.Plus the Russian GPs are in Ufa,so maybe we will get some tv coverage again.And Inzell have the team Championship Calendar

See GB has been allocated the Grand Prix Challenge by the FIM next years dates here

Ah it was you that linked to that pic.I remember it looked a terrible fence.Was only mentioning that pic a few months back.How a track like that could have been handed an FIM meeting i'll never understand.Well i would if it is all to do with politics

Franky will have to make all the A-Finals though imo to put Krasnikov under pressure.Krasnikov should barring a disaster at least make the A-Finals,and could by Berlin have too much of a gap.Obviously i don't want anyone to have problems,but it would be nice if the title was still to be decided on the last day.At least if Vitali is better by Assen and Berlin he could mess things up a bit for Nikolai and let someone else in with a chance.Like i said on inspeed,it is a pity Ivan Ivanov,Bulankin and Bogdanov for various reasons didn't make it.I don't think they have quite the complex about Krasnikov that the others do.

Think they only have one meeting a year normally and very few if any riders.There was a Dutch & Belgium news thread started a little while back though Edit:Found it here

Thanks jacky.Thought Antti's score was disappointingly low

Well it seems he has already asked about a place in the Bundesliga

If you had seen British ice hockey you'd know that compared to German ice hockey it is like comparing Finnish speedway with Polish speedway

Me too I'll see you there if you are going to the final,Pirates or anyone else

Thanks Brian.I am frightened i will go in and everything will come toppling down on me.I could be trapped for days without anyone finding me

Do you have the magazine for that series TMW?If you do, i know someone wants to know if there is any info on Frank Shuter.Will save me trying to clamber into my cellar and find my copy

Not sure if anyone has answered this,but just looking through the Dons photos.Unknown + Rob Jones is grasstracker Roland Duke who signed half way through the season

Taken from the Russian forum and passed through a translator On the third circle it fell and, as it was explained more lately, sufficiently serious injury was obtained.

But i hear one will be in the German championship in Berlin

Husman also rode for Vojens in the Danish 1st division last year.But according to this report he is injured Argentina And it mentions Allendes "recuperacion" here

Think there were a number of riders back in the rider control days that never appeared for their allocated club.Seem to remember a Swedish rider(Christer Lofquist maybe)that was allocated to the Dons and appeared for a few weeks in the programmes but never rode for them

Olle started in 1947.Not sure when he finally hung up his leathers,but for most of his career he was with Vargarna.

Adam Skornicki got the sack before the season started. Plus Mirko Wolter signed for Berwick and then was injured before he could ride for them

Well after this weekends training René Schäfer has nominated the team for Güstrow in the U19s Kevin Wölbert Max Dilger Frank Facher Erik Pudel Sönke Petersen That should be strong enough to give Denmark a scare Taken from the Bundesliga site

That would make more sense(although don't know why Tschatschin wasn't in against the Austrians.Or to put it another way don't know why Roth was in ).Though the Russian forum and the polish site have Roth winning and having 3 points.But looking at the race times document on the Russian forum it is as speedway.org has it
