Normally yes, I think covid makes it a bit different. They dont normally ask SoN nations for names either...

Two things are certain with this one: 1) He cant make an Italian win it, 2) He cant make a Finn win it. Tsukunov has made a decision to change his nationality. Things like these come with a price, live with it. Gleb would probably win it, but if the Poles have not named him...

So he’s seen them all and can make a solid decision...

Hard to say... For what I know they had a 2k target for the crowd. Todays restrictions mean they would not be able to make that. They could change, either way... I would have called it off a month ago.

We have new rulings, waiting for news regarding Forssa.

No traffic or rubbish with footie, so much better...

sweden?

But you also need to read the whole rule, and not stop when you think you have the answer you want. Later on it clearly states that a reserve cant ride more heats than a scheduled rider. So thats 5 max for a tr. I was once in a worlds quali where a team manager told his 2nd tr to TT so 1st tr could get more heats as he was having a chance to qualify... That was good team managing!

Rumours from our parlament suggest that new quidelines for mass gatherings are announced next week. This would enable crowds bigger than 500 and most likely would be effective from July 1st, when footie is supposed to start.

Poor choice of smileys or whatever on my part, sorry. Did not even know that they are back on tv.

Elitserien without a crowd seems a suicide. Also you need free travel for the riders, as its actually international Elitserien with a problem. Not only with the number of foreigners, but they are the hotbed of covid—19 in the northern speedway world. Been saying it for a while, be seeing you with us at the bottom of the speedway world...

For what, Finnish SM-liiga?

Someones laughing at my comment... Could it be someone thats ”in the know” but dont even have in his ”possession” a rider that wouldnt eat MY dust at the gates...

Timo Lahti won the Zlata Stuha 5 years ago. Why no invitation?

95% correct. But you cant break the rules in a series that hasnt started yet. But you CAN do whatever you want with them as long as UEM stamps them before series start. 4) No.

Well its out there, somewhere stamped 21.05 v2. SEC rules.

There’s a new rulebook out, might be on the UEM site.

It’s not allowed. What you describe as a problem, can also be seen as an opportunity. Much like in F1 with the mini race regarding qualifying.

Please explain why any French rider would get picked over Timo Lahti? Just asking

Wait and see...

5 Danes is a no go. And surely Timo Lahti will get his chance now. They need more countries in it and he’s good enough.

”Random” test. Fine. I’m corrected.

Think the level was quite high. It’s all in writing on the FIM website for everyone to see. And for the record I wasnt suggesting that either. Just wanted to point out to the one poster that IMO the failed the test first (as in problems ”started”) and his crash came later on.

Shouldnt that read more like Where would Ward be now if it wasnt for his getting drunk before a GP and not being allowed to ride intoxicated... Drugs or alcohol, whatever if you ask me. Alltough alcohol is no longer doping under FIM.

I’m friends with the organizers of Forssa, but I’m commenting on this as an outsider, and to my knowledge we have the 500 crowd restriction until the end of July. In Finland the next set of new guidelines will be set next week and they are always valid for 30 days. So the guidelines that the promoters will work with are declared 5-4 weeks before the meeting. It’s all a bit iffy and so-so. I would have pulled the plug already, they havent.
