You lot where seeded in the final last year But you are quite right, these meetings are perfect for the youngsters to get the important experience. It looks like that the ACU isn't interested in sending riders to the UEM and FIM meetings, I'm sure France got even more riders in these meetings then UK .

René Stellingwerf is back home and the latest news reports that he's willing to race in Saalfelden on 22 January. Hope his double fractured leg will recover quick. Tough lad

Thanks for the results Ian Johnny Tuinstra is replacing René Stellingwerf in the Santa Cup.

More bad news, the first round of the CZ championship this weekend has been called off .

Big problems for Sven Holstein. He hasn't found any sponsors yet so it looks like that he will not race this season .

The Stadskanaal club just published that they will run an iceracing championship (MX, speedway bikes, and proper iceracing) on frozen lakes . Tracks will be in Eext, Stadskanaal, Noordwolde, Wartena and Zuidbroek (all Holland). More info soon.

Well from what I just read on the Assen website is that Gerrit is going to take Iceracing quite serious. He's been racing in the past few years on some local meetings in Holland and he has also been practicing in Sweden and Russia. In march 2010 he bought a new iceracing bike in Sweden and he's now busy with the preperations for the training camp in Funasdalen (Sweden) at the start of december. Sooooo Holland got a new serious racer!
