Yep will do the Belgium News too . --- Last year a new club tried to start up Speedway again in Zolder (Belgium). And is was a succes ! They did 2 open-meetings, one in July and one in November. This year (2008) Zolder will host 2 rounds of the Dutch Championship: - 27 April - 13 July Currently Belgium got only 3 riders: - Guido Hulsman: 500cc Solo rider - Willy Kennis: 500cc Solo rider (classic) - Wim Kennis (son of Willy): going to start in 2008 on a 500cc solo bike, he rode in 2007 on a 125cc junior bike One other kid is also planning to ride, Glenn Haex, he's going to ride on a 125cc junior bike.

Wooow amazing, they really have to make loads of kilometers for there team meetings .

Just typed Vladivostok in Google to try to find the track... but I was quite shocked, are they really racing in the Vladivostok near Japan ? (400 kilometers east from Jilin)

From the Gillman website Kevin Doolan won the Jack Young Solo Cup at Gillman tonight, defeating Cameron Woodward, Aaron Summers and Cory Gathercole in the Final. Young Ryan Sedgmen rode a blinder to beat Woodward and Matthew Wethers in heat one, but fell in his next ride and sadly it appears he has broken his arm. Darrin Treloar/Justin Plaisted went through the Sidecar card unbeaten to win the Gillman International Sidecar Challenge from Mick Headland/Paul Waters, Warren Monson/Deven Gates and Dave Bottrell/Ben Pitt. Best of the British Sidecars, who were beset by mechanical problems was Ivor Matthews/David Williams who scored 10 points in the heats and finished third behind Monson and Kane Irwin/Jeremy Sherwood in the last chance semi-final. Full heat details in the result section on Monday.
