f-s-p

Though in a way I'm against this change regarding reserves, but an example from last years U21 Euro semi where two riders had a runoff for the last quali slot, winner earning 5600km roundtrip in a van... Now fancy if it were a a two rider runoff for a reserve with the same mileage. I would not even enter the track to risk which one would hit the tapes first. I'd probably hit the fence enteribg the track. So even when it's wrong, it actually might be okay to have changed it. Depends on the location of the sun...

A local mx track had it's main electricity box stolen this spring. At 1230 on a bright and sunny saturday afternoon the outgoing live cable was axed and that killed all e-surveillance in the area. Next night the whole box was stolen... Would be surprised if the bike was "successfully" sold back to speedway anywhere. All the parts were probably labelled with a Foxy-print, so would be somewhat impossible to tell a cover story how you're selling used parts or bike so cheap... But you never know.

Three reserves... Hmmmmn

Speedweek.com wrote yesterday, that he's had problems passing tests vefore aswell. A real shame.

Örebro had about 500-700, cant remember exact. They had everything ready in good time and then about a month before the meeting itvwas announced that there would be a F1 on display nearby. Think it attracted about 5000.

For what substance? Very surprising! Peter Jansson can be named as the man behind swedish revival of longtrack. Been gathering momemtum now for maybe the third year...

I'm after the crowd as well. Been there each three times and this one had blank areas in the upper tier. So my guess is that it was down on last year but still around the 50k mark.

I spoke with Kylmä at Warsow and he said along the lines that FF had last years engine doing faster than last year... Smaller front sprocket was the thing to have at one point. So not sure if bigger back sprockets mean anything else than a bigger front one... mental games ???

Yes they can by revoking his start permit, but why would they? They need a reason for it or otherwise will most likely get sued.

Noooo... not again. Whats happened

With ISGWC wildcards we contacted FIM a few weeks before the quali's and applied for a wild card. The response was that shouldnt you wait for the qualis first. With the U21's they were even faster than last year. #JustSaying Fricke had to get one. Even if not the reigning champ, the result from his quali was enough.

WTF If I were a Jawa sale's rep, thats not what I would call it. Still, Timo out now, switched off after they were on the backstraight lap 1. Need to sulk now so have energy for tomorrows track build.

Yes it's all gone downhill since you stopped seeing speedway on a weekly basis. The actual problem is though, that any federation that loses a rider that's been booked to do one, cant find another. So you want us to not send one, and or a 15 rider meeting...

Someones dropped out and SML was fastest so Niklas Säyriö rides in Abensberg.

What ever... I'm not justifying anything the CCP does, just trying to clear things when ever wrong assumptions are made on here. My own view of the said CCP is not for me to write here. They do stuff as a hobby for all our benefit and at times they succeed...

Actually the places are "given back" and then it's a sprint who wants them first. There is no trading between FMN's, CCP is in between.

This was in Spar maybe a month ago, that Swindon had lost it's FIM license (and the meeting had been given away) and they were not gonna re apply because a new stadium was supposed to be ready. The story said the meeting would stay in the UK, but now it's not. FIM license's are lost at every track after a while and currently there's a need for a A+ APD and shock absorbing kickboard along the start of both straights.

Is pepe a "direct" reserve or because jamrog is possibly out with an injury.

Would benefit the sport immensely if both.

Pairs meeting with Polish juniors going on at the moment at the track... Hopefully all good!

Think thats a good plan.

So with a ACU license for national events (which I think he has) and a FIM license from acu as well (which he had for his euro encounter) he's available for team gb. No probs then... it's up to him and Rossiter.

How does it work with Schlein and Aussies, I read from somewhere that he has a UK citizenship. Does he have a UK passport? Because you need a passport for the nation you want to represent. So is it that he cant ride for GB or dont want to?

Yes but no but...

I read 7+1 from the official allo sheets, but now been told system has changed and no reserves through.
