Thx for the info Jacky, good to see 3 Dutch riders taking part . And... 7 riders from Poland already, wow .

Junior (Nationaal) = Kai Huckenbeck from Germany Dutch Federation came to a stupid idea to turn the championship in a 1 day final where the top 12 after the "Dutch Open Rounds" had a chance to be crowned as the Dutch Champion in the Nationaal (Junior) class. Results

Hi lads, Interesting news from the FIM Congress: - Long Track: heat format remains the same – 18 riders including two permanent wild-card riders for all the finals - Main change: point system in qualifying, semi-finals and final. - Titles: FIM Track Racing Sidecar World Championship 1000cc, Speedway 250cc Junior Gold Trophy (2010), Long Track 250cc Junior Gold Trophy (2010).- Technical: creation of a 250cc Speedway and Long Track Junior Gold Trophy for 2010. Age of riders: from 14 to 17 years – New measuring system for sound control - New homologated silencer for all Track Racing 500cc motorcycles. What's your opinion about it? I think it's a great step forward in the sport.. makes the step easier from a 80cc/125cc to a 500cc . The dates are also confirmed for 2009, I've put it all together, including the provisional UEM calendar: http://www.baansportfansite.nl/2009/ek%20wk/index.php
