I should be in the press room when you get there, you can hear my views on Berlin then. I fear M'Learn'd Friends would be taking an interest in me were I to relate them in this forum. I'm looking forward to a properly organised meeting in Assen at weekend.

It was shown during the last week on Eurosport in the UK, and the Almaty Rounds are on next week, again in the UK.

GERMAN CHAMPIONSHIP, BERLIN, Thursday, March 3 RESULT (Germany unless stated) Gunther Bauer 15 (3-3-3-3-3), Max Niedermaier 14 (3-3-3-3-2), Stefan Pletschacher 12+3 (3-1-2-3-3), Hans Weber 12+2 (2-3-3-2-2), Charly Ebner Jnr.

Repeated Friday at 8pm (for those of you who have other halves who insist on recording Greys Anatomy, Madame Secretary and Blue Bloods, plus want to watch the programme on the CPS on BBC4. )

With the Gladiators series moving West next week, is anyone (other than Jesper, Jackie & Lars and myself) going to be in Berlin? Doug??

Apart from the start of the A Final, the coverage was quite good on You Tube.

European Final Results: Day 1 (Heat scores in brackets) D Final: Nikita Toloknov (Russia) (3), Igor Saydullin (Russia) (3), Radek Hutla (Czech Rep) (3) Robert Ruzicka (Czech Republic) (2) C FINAL: Mikael Flodin (Sweden) (5), Josef Kreuzberger (Austria) (5), Jussi Nyronen (Finland) (5), Jimmy Olsen (Sweden) (5) f B FINAL: Mikko Jetsonen (Finland) (8), Jo Saetre (Norway) (6), Luca Bauer (Germany) (11) ef, Charly Ebner Jnr.

Simon did go slightly inside the blue line in the A Final, but the referee (who I believe is Jim Lawrence) either didn't see it or let it go. Russian Forum a little up in arms about it. Rather impressed with Solyannikov who is the Under 21 Champion. Looked a bigger crowd at Ufa than normal too.

ASTANA EXPO FIM ICE SPEEDWAY GLADIATORS TEAM WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, Togliatti Saturday 13th & Sunday 14th February 2016 RESULTS: RUSSIA 57 (27+30) Dmitri Koltakov 23 (11+12), Nikolai Krasnikov 19 (10+9), Dmitri Khomitsevich 15 (7+8) SWEDEN 48 (23+25) Ove Ledstrom 29 (13+16), Niclas Svensson 15 (6+9), Daniel Henderson 4 (4+0) AUSTRIA 46 (23+23) Manfred Seifter 19 (12+7), Franz Zorn 17 (3+14), Harald Simon 10 (8+2) CZECH REPUBLIC 39 (21+18) Antonin Klatovsky 25 (13+12), Jan Klatovsky 14 (8+6), Radek Hutla DNR GERMANY 28 (14+14) Gunther Bauer 14 (7+7), Max Neidermaier 9 (3+6) Stefan Pletschacher 5 (4+1) FINLAND 21 (11+10) Tomi Norola 11 (7+4), Mikko Jetsonen 7 (3+4), Antti Aakko 3 (1+2) SWITZERLAND 11 (5+6) Beat Dobler 10 (4+6), Martin Glarner 1 (1+DNR) Ledstrom is certainly maturing well top scoring with 29, and Manny Seifter top scoring for Austria too. You have to feel for the Swiss though, as they sent a two man team, and ended up as Beat Dobler vs. The World! Martin Glarner withdrew due to injury after a fall on Day 1.

Doesn't work outside Russia. Tried that one first

Looks like the FIM have pulled the plug on the Mega Lada live stream. I'll have to follow the results on the app.

Beat me to it Jesper!

There is a link on the Russian Forum for a webcam but if you click on it, you get a message saying the cam is restricted to Russia.

To be perfectly honest I haven't got a clue. Bear in mind this is the first meeting they have had in the Czech Republic for three years so if its a one off or a series I suspect it depends on the weather. Jesper directed me to the results here: http://www.speedwaylive.eu/prvnim-ledovym-kralem-je-andrej-divis/ so I used that to get the info.
