I did see Philip Lageder (Austria) listed as riding on a Swiss Licence. Could that be it?

If you happen to be in a Newsagents in the next few days, have a glance at the new issue of Bike, which came out today. It has a seven page photo essay by a freelance Photographer, Greg Moss, called 'Inside Ice Speedway'. It was photographed at Berlin last season.

(about £6.50) are too expensive, when the Togliatti tickets are 150 Roubles (About £1.82). One comment is the poorer the region, the higher the prices!

There are two meetings in Russia this weekend Rounds 1 & 2 of the Super League in Kamensk Ural, with a start time of 10am Moscow Time (7am GMT/8 am CET) Rounds 1 & 2 of the Major League in Yugorsk, with a 9am (Moscow) Start time (6am GMT/7am CET) No Video links posted as yet, although with practice on Friday for both events, they may be posted then. Always worth checking the Russian Forum, and with Speedway Press the Russian News site for more information.

I was going off the press info I received. None of those riders are mentioned, but I'm assuming they are on Speedweek?

Just seen the first four riders announced for the Gunther Bauer farewell "ServuSchliff" meeting in Inzell on Friday 13th March in Inzell. Russians Nikolai Krasnikov and Kyril Drogalin, Sweden's Per-Olof 'Posa' Serenius, and German Michael Lang have been announced to take part, with more riders are due to be announced in the coming weeks. The meeting is on Friday 13th March preceeding the Ice Speedway Gladiators weekend, in Inzell.

FIM Europe confirmed the date today as 21-22/3/20 (along with all the other Speedway Meetings) According to my Sat Nav Tomaszów Mazowiecki is about an hours drive from Lodz Airport.

The FIM have tweeted the provisional calendar again, so it must be getting close to confirmation. Have a look here: FIM EDIT: They confirmed it today in another Tweet. Despite them Hashtagging it #FIMIceGaldiators

As in previous years I'll try and post links to live coverage, whilst Jesper's site baansportfansite.nl usually carries results, many of them live. And my travels will hopefully take me to Berlin, Inzell and Heerenveen, but I hope to get to Lodz if possible (thats if the European Final is definite).
