Yes I'll be there - make yourself known to me this year!

Again, apologies for the delay, but Iris123 and I have been really busy since the end of the meeting and we had to eat to...... World Individual Ice Racing Championship Round 6 Berlin: Junir Baseev 2 3 2 2 3 =12 Pavel Tschajka 1 2 2 2 3 =10 Per--Anders Lindstrom 2 0 1 1 0 =4 Dmitri Khomitsevich 2 1 2 1 2 =8 Markus Skabraut 1 0 1 2 1 =5 Johnny Tuinstra 1 1 0 0 2 =4 Tommy Flyktman 2 0 0 0 1 =3 Vitali Khomitsevich 3 2 2 3 0 =10 Franz Zorn 3 3 3 3 1 =13 Harald Simon fx N ns N ns =0 Ivan Ivanov ret ns N ns ns =1 Antti Aakko 1 1 1 2 3 =8 Nikolai Krasnikov 3 3 3 3 3 =15 Stefan Svensson 0 2 3 fx ns =5 Antonin Klatovsky 0 ret 1 1 2 =4 Danil Ivanov 3 3 3 3 2 =14 Kai Lehtinen 2 0 1 1 =4 A Final: Nikolai Krasnikov, Danil Ivanov, Junir Baseev, Franz Zorn B Final: Vitali Khomitsevich, Pavel Tschajka, Dmitri Khomitsevich, Antti Aakko C Final: Johnny Tuinstra, Markus Skabraut, Per--Anders Lindstrom, Stefan Svensson (DNS) D Final: Antonin Klatovsky, Tommy Flyktman, Kai Lehtinen (Three riders only) Overall: 1 Nikolai Krasnikov Rus 150 2 Danil Ivanov Rus 108 3 Franz Zorn A 99 4 Junir Baseev Rus 93 5 Vitali Khomitsevich Rus 92 6 Dmitri Khomitsevich Rus 76 7 Gunther Bauer D 64 8 Pavel Tschajka Rus 63 9 Antti Aakko SF 50 10 Antonin Klatovsky CzR 46 11 Stefan Svensson S 45 12 Harald Simon A 39 13 Ivan Ivanov Rus 39 14 Tommy Flyktman SF 27 15 Johnny Tuinstra NL 26 16 Markus Skabraut A 21 17 Per-Olof Serenius S 20 18 Kai Lehtinen SF 17 19 Per-Anders Lindstrom S 8 Bit of an odd day despite some fantastic racing. Harald Simon went over the fence in his opening ride and cartwheeled up the hill with his bike on the third turn. Svensson crashed in his fourth ride and withdrew from the meeting. Bauer injured last night and withdrew from today, Ivan Ivanov did half a lap and withdrew (again) Krasnikov only needs 9 points to win next weekend.

The results from Berlin tonight, if a little late, but Iris123, Jacqueline (and Lars) and myself went out for a meal after the racing, and a few beers.

"I'm as happy as hell" he told me after the meeting.

That FIM Press release in full: If I remember correctly, the last place team are out of the 2010 Team Championship, which means that Sweden are technically last and therefore out of the loop next year.

I was under the impression that Sanock were staging the Ice Team Cup, too. It does seem unfair that Russia get three of the big meetings on consecutive weekends, although pleased to see Togliatti getting a round. Could it be that Togliatti will join Hamar as only the second venue to stage an Ice GP AND a Speedway GP?

Pity there are no Brits riding, but at €5 for 24 heats of Ice Racing - it's the bargain of the season!

Last year in Berlin we all met up behind the first and second turn near all the stalls. If anyone wants to meet up there this year, I'm sure we can arrange times.

Actually, I'll see you at the Hotel, but looking forward to it Rob. My round I think?

Thanks for that Mark, please pass on my best wishes to Kevin. Well done on your performance too.

Didn't Kevin ride then?

If you try Hotels Wilmersdorf in Last Minute.com or a similar site, there are hotels ranging in price which are close to the track. Be warned though - the hotels closest to the track do fill up quick. The track is about a 40 minute walk from the centre of Berlin. The nearest U-Bahn (underground) is Heidleberger Platz - about 5 minutes walk from the track, and the nearest S-bahn is Hohenzollerndamm which is accross the road from the entrance. Public transport is excellent so you could stay some distance away and the Bus/Train/Underground will get you there. Hope this helps

Thanks Mark. Good luck for the Finnish meeting.

Just spoke to Roger Newton. Graham Halsall got a call this Morning to say that the ice was melting and they've had about a meter of snow. I'm sure that one of these tracks was where they had problems last month, when the track started breaking up. Roger had left home to go to Grahams 40 minutes before Graham called him. He now has a weekend free. There is also a meeting planned for Norway on 8th March, where Roger and Mark are set to ride, but I can't find any details, if anyone in Scandinavia can help. The only one I can find is in Oslo on 21/3.

Just had an e-mail from Roger and he's riding in the Czech Rep this weekend. Also, Johnny Tuinstra had sent me a message that he is having his operation on Friday and is confident he'll be ready for Berlin.

Looks like RB TV, who are showing the Ice Racing this evening, have made their on line player unaccessable to anyone outside Russia. I've been trying various solutions for some time without any sucess, but if I'm successful I'll post a link

Bad day for Franky Zorn and Bauer. Ivan Ivanov has now joined the injury list, after his clash with Junir Baseev in their final ride. He appears to have aggravated an elbow injury according to the Russian sites. The next Rounds are in Berlin on 7th/8th March, so there are three weeks for all the injured riders to try and recover.

Had a text from Joni on Johnny Tuinstra's behalf, he has broken his collarbone. He will need an operation in Holland and hopes to be back in time for the Berlin rounds. I've asked if she can confirm Harald Simon's injury too. UPDATE Harald Simon has broken both bones in his arm, after Klabo rode into him. From the sounds of it, that's him out for a while.

Harald Simon has suffered an injury of some sort, and whilst he qualified for the D Final he didn't take part. Posa having a dreadful day failing to score. As for Krasnikov, he now has a 21 point lead, and looks on target to retain his title. Loads of complaints on the Russian Forums about the Referee, Istvan Dorago from Hungary. The general feeling is that he just excludes the faller, rather than look at where there is an incident. Tomorrow, Flyktman and Skabraut will replace the two bottom scorers, one of whom will possibly be Posa. EDIT: B Final has been ammended. The Russian Forum says that Baseev beat Bauer on the line.

According to the Russian Forums, there are highlights of Saturday and an "as live" recording of Sunday's racing on RB-TV, on Sunday, but I can't find a time. Last year they showed the Russian Final at 3pm GMT as it was a "late night" programme in Ufa. Soon as I find the link, I'll post it.

Krasnikov will go to his home track next week with the Psychological advantage over Zorn. It's still quite obvious that the Russians still dominate the sport, with only three Westerners breaking into the top 10. Results taken from both Russian Forums and from Speedway.org.

By my reckoning, it's Lehtinen and Tuinstra who will take the reseve slots tomorrow, with Skabraut in at 16 and Flyktman in at 3. But I may be wrong (9.35am 8.2.09 - And I was - it's Markus at 3, Tommy at 16) If Franky and Gunther No Mates continue this form, then it should make for interesting weekends in Berlin and Assen.
