Broken leg then, gutted to hear that. He is fearless that man, hoping he recovers in time for Heerenveen

Do you know what Rihimakii's injury is? Still 3 weeks to Inzell so must be fairly serious

Hoping for good safe racing in Inzell so that I can get to see this good strong field do battle in Heerenveen!

This looks like a good strong field, can't wait to see the final at Heerenveen

Young, as in ice speedway young? Haaruhiltenen, Huusko, N Svensson and probably Koivula who showed himself well last year

I think we all know that Bogdanov would win the world title at a canter. But until they let the Russians back in ( soon I hope), the world champion is the top scorer in the world series. Incidentally, I'd be interested to see how the top Europeans would fare against the Russian older school like Khomitsevich, Kononov, Koltakov, Valeev etc now. Bogdanov is totally smashing them.

The absence of the Russians doesn't mean the series winner isn't the world champion.

Probably the top 8 you might expect. Bauer not exactly setting the world alight, and Ove Ledstrom just missing out.

For anyone interested, the tickets for Heerenveen go on sale Fri 28/11/2025 ( ticketpoint nl)

Great, thanks

A wee bit disappointing with the low number of events. I thought a return to Berlin was mooted as on the cards. Are Heerenveen tickets on sale yet and is it still through that ticketpoint nl?

I actually feel like the absence of the Russians makes it more of a competition, that it gives most of the top westerners a reasonable chance. That said, the champion stretched his legs on Sunday and looked fairly unbeatable. I loved being at Inzell, the atmosphere is awesome and I can't wait to get back next year. Even booked ridiculously expensive flights to go to Sunday at Heerenveen to see the finale. Like you say, Jasper Iwema was great on Sunday. I always used to feel he just didn't have it, but a couple of machine issues aside early Saturday, he was brilliant. Totally delighted for him. Anyone know of any other ice speedway forums with a bit more chat than this one? Like getting blood out a stone most of the time here!!

Wow. That was quick, I'm fairly sure I didnt order this years until January!! Ah well, just need to order standing tickets and get in early. Thanks for letting me know 👍🏻

Anyone know when the seated tickets are released for Inzell? Looks like the standing ones are on sale but seats not available just now

New thread for next years Ice Speedway Gladiators. Hope it's just as exciting as last year, maybe more if Hans Weber can stay out of trouble!!
