Kid from Russia. He is also supposed to race in Flims.

Erm not realy - the 5 January meeting is postponed to today (the 6th) for a pretty strange reason though lol.. the organisers ordered 100 mitas tires and they couldn't be delivered on time for the 5th January meeting sooo they postponed it .

On what bikes are they racing? Proper 500cc bikes?

Great pics of the Russian Iceracing Final in Shadrinsk here: http://www.shadrinsk.info/2010/01/02/obzor...i-po-motogonka/ http://www.shadrinsk.info/2010/01/03/obzor...i-po-motogonka/ Krasnikov won another car lol.

Well last year they had 7 places, but this year the MFR requested 8 places and also obtained 8 places from the FIM according to the rider allocations.

Yes, but why on earth are they doing 'updates' when they are just 'copying' it from SpeedwayUpdates? Sounds a bit odd to me to be honest.

Looks like Nikolaj is on his way for another WC title . Russian riders for the Qualifiers; the Khomitsevich brothers are going to Saalfelden, Nikolaj Krasnikov and the Ivanov brothers are going to Sanok and Dimitri Bulankin, Igor Kononov and Pavel Tsjajka are going to St. Johann.

Daireaux

Looks like Zorn went home with engine problems .

The Santa Cup has started ! Today round 1 in Strömsund, after 12 heats is looks like Jan Klatovsky is on fire, he won all this heats sofar. Zorn only scored 7 points yet, he got beaten by PA Lindstrom and Antonin Klatovsky . Stefan Svensson got excluded in his first heat (2 minutes ex), but won his other 2 heats. Live Results. ___________ EDIT: Antonin Klatovsky is leading after 16 heats with 11 points, he only dropped 1 point sofar against Peter Koij. Second sofar is his broher Jan with 10 points and Franky Zorn also with 10 points. Dutch rider René Stellingwerf is 4th with 9 points. It looks like a very tight meeting. ___________ EDIT: After 20 heats: 8. Antonin Klatovsky CZ (2 3 3 3 3) 14 13. Jan Klatovsky CZ (3 3 3 1 2) 12 2. Stefan Svensson SWE (X 3 3 2 3) 11 3.

Martin Smolinski (2010 SGP Reserve) was trying some longtrack racing this season... and now he's going to try Ice Racing too lol. He will race his first meeting in the B Group at the International meeting in Steingaden on the 6th of January. The A group lineup for Steingaden looks very promosing too... Zorn, Serenius, Stellingwerf, Aakko, Simon, etc.

I agree with you there, but tbh in my eyes it came as a quite shock, never espected it though. Anyway, Stellingwerf and Holstein are good prospects indeed, looks like both are taking ice-racing very serious. Don't think anyone will replace Tuinstra in the team event, just because we don't have any more riders beside Stellingwerf and Holstein. Henry van der Steen was racing last year in a couple meetings but on a borrowed bike, don't think he'll race this year.. same for Dennis van der Tang a couple years back.

Shoking news just arrived here... Johnny Tuinstra retires from the 2009/2010 season . On his website he says that he can't do another season as a '100% iceracer', caused by various problems and his busy life as self employee . This also means that René Stellingwerf or either Sven Holstein will race his first season as full GP rider! .
