Has anyone signed up for the FIM Moto tv for the Inzell + Heerenveen rounds? Looks excellent value of 13 euros for the 4 meetings if it is pucka.
-
What a joke!!!! 2 riders finish on equal points & we should have had a run off for 2nd & the FIM award on countback.
The commentators at their live official feed didn`t even know it.
Could have been a great ending to the World Championship. Already messed up the scoring system now having reduced the World Championship from 23 heats to 21 heats they bring this in. It really need someone in the organisation with a bit of back bone to stand up for the sport rather a bunch of yes people!!!
Glad I didn`t bother going.

Spent an enjoyable weekend in Finland, to take in this event. A packed crowd in the grandstand and open back straight seating had a great time, in what may well be the final such event in the stadium.
Mats Järf showed his quality in being the ultimate winner following an opening heat collision with Atte Suolammi, which left him writhing on the ice in a great deal of pain, for several minutes. Following an ambulance ride he returned for the rerun.
Possible premeeting favourite Max Koivula, never recovered from an opening heat ef, and another in his third ride before showing his quality with a showboating win in his final race. This left Järf, the deserved winner coming from the back in each race to claim the title. My predicted winner, Heikki Huusko, following a great start gradually slipped back to finish 4th, as Järf, went in the opposite direction to take the spoils,
There are the semi-final+final races on youtube.

My bruv, from Swindon with Robins prog board, now living in Adelaide, was there. Said meeting was held up for nearly an hour because of bad crash. Ellis won final by wheel, and Woffy put on a performance. Old Swindon 1-2
Isn`t that weird. I`m a Swindon follower since 1976. Went to Gillman in 2008 on holiday & saw a few meetings. Ivan Mauger Meeting (won by Philip Sitera) was one. Also managed to get to Murray Bridge (Cars + sidecars no bikes unfortunately. Plus International WSS series on the Boxing day. They were good. Drivers came over from USA & New Zealand for the series.

Opening night at Costa Mesa 2022. Look at the crowd!!!! What a great night out!!!!

And this is expected to increase the viewing figures for speedway. I think not.!!!! Is cricket better off now its mainly on Sky NO. Has it increased figures for golf. I think not.
I will not be subscribing even though I have followed GPs all around the world. S*d um!!!
Discovery only interested in money, not speedway!!!! But then again we all know that!!

There seems to be plenty of sports that are letting Russians compete under a neutral flag.
And they should be holding their heads in shame!!!!. As Peaky blinders would say....red right hands

Lets hope that Hans Weber, Martin Haarahiltunen & Jasper Iwema can all get at least 41 pts. All great guys & will deserve their place on the rostrum & what a big lift for DMV Dutch ICE speedway if Jasper can get into the top 3.

Russians are indeed not allowed to ride. Saetre & Systa will come in.
Good!!!! Many thanks. Though they are appealing to the Court of Sport, I believe.

I was looking at this scenario the other day. I would say Weber is odds on based on his performance in the opening rounds but both Haarahultinen and Iwema could do it. I bet Harald Simon is kicking himself now that he couldn't ride in Russia.
Yes, Weber in a great position to be crowned World Champion. Though Harald Simon is 3rd in the European Championship with hopefully the top 2 not being allowed to ride!!!

The Netherlands are certainly lifting restrictions. Fingers crossed but it's getting to fairly short notice for ticket sales etc.
Apparently, I was told by a resident that Heerenveen ICE Arena is allowing 33% capacity for this weekend`s ICE hockey match. Prior to this no crowd was allowed.

There is more coverage on Youtube via the SHADRINSK TV channel. Includes our ICE friend Anton T. Very good with graphics (alert in Russian). Day 1 should be available 1pm/2pm (ish) today.

Can anyone point me in the direction of where I may get the results for the Argentinian Speedway from their start of the season in November until now?
Have been watching the racing from Carhue & Bahia Blanco tracks
(via En Carrera on Youtube) but would like to keep a record of the riders scores.

Looks like Nsport+ will be showing the Euro ICE Final live according to their TV schedule.
-
Hopefully better news about Heerenveen. Fingers crossed!!!

Soon we will let you know
when ticket sales start.
Keep an eye on this website! -
Don`t you just love Eurosport. Can`t show Peterboro so rather than have a plan B & go to Sheffield I`m sat watching Aussie Superbikes. What a joke!!!

Been going since 2012 & I get the standard bus from the Airport (run about 1/2 hourly) which drops at bus & train station. Buses about hourly & take 1 hour. Or trains about the same. Check koleo.pl for train times but if your hotel is in/near the square get off at Torun miasto NOT Glowny. As its the other side of the bridge. I usually go by bus (£2 each way). And about 60p on bus from airport to Bydgoszcz centre. The bus stop is out of the airport turn left walk past the taxis & the stop is on the left.
Can`t go this year & have a ticket for Saturday opposite the side line lower section. Happy to give away BUT would ask in return for you to get me 3 x Torun GP programmes & post them to me in Gloucester. If anyone can make use of it let me know. First come etc.
Have a great time!!!!

And the Redcar promotion had the cheek to complain at the state of the Birmingham track.

Hopefully they will announce that they will be scrapping the SoN & this crappy SGP points system.

Yes, Wow what a meeting. Took out the subscription. Well worth 13 Euros just for this meeting alone!!!!
Excellent work THE DAVES!!!! & the Motottv crew.
Thought Ref Topinka bottled a couple of calls. Jell should have been excluded at turn 1 crash. Svensson rode inside track in one heat & Huusko caused Weber crash. In my opinion.
Best Ice meet I have seen.
Bet it was a great atmosphere in Inzell after the meeting.
