Good guess

These new rules are still very strange, but now finally clear to everyone... hopefully. It confused everyone during the past 3 weeks here in Kazakstan and Russia.

It does.

Togliatti ice track is different than the speedway track. It's more on the inside of the speedway track, and around 300 meters. Shadrinsk is a little longer. The artificial tracks are longer at around 400 meters.

Haha will see what happens in Togliatti this weekend

Weber / Zorn crash is now uploaded too. https://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/1914/daniil-ivanov-ook-tijdens-tweede-wk-finale-in-almaty-de-sterkste.html

Provisional dates: 27.06 20.06 04.07 08.08 or 22.08 19.09 As for venues: not much confirmed but Vojens and Chorzow are likely. Maybe Güstrow again.

First replacement is in... Markus Jell is replacing Stefan Pletschacher.

Realy wondering about Shishegov as well. Kazakh federation nominated him for Sweden at first, but he's gone.

Very strange selection of riders in O-vik now. Only a few riders are changed from Finland to Sweden. Lageder, Mayerbuchler, Pletschacher should be removed from the lineup and replaced by better riders. For example Ebner, Jell, Niedermaier. I can see some changes coming up in the coming days.

World championship qualifiers: Dmitry Khomitsevich Igor Kononov Dmitry Koltakov Dinar Valeev Nations: Dmitry Khomitsevich Igor Kononov Daniil Ivanov European championship: Konstantin Kolenkin And the Junior champion

First 8 heats gone... exciting stuff with both Ivanov and Koltakov with a disqualification. Real time live results and classification: https://live.baansportfansite.nl/event/397/russisch-kampioenschap-ijsspeedway-finale-4-shadrinsk.html Follow the action here:

Fantastic racing today. One more run-off to go. Live updates: https://live.baansportfansite.nl/event/396/russisch-kampioenschap-ijsspeedway-finale-3-shadrinsk.html New link for live stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1Tev3J9CzI

Still no news from FIM regarding the qualifiers. They will race a league meeting in O-vik tomorrow.... I can't see the qualifier happening next week. Hutla posted a video today from the O-vik track and it is +6 degrees. Track is melting. My money is on a 15 rider selection from FIM.

World championship qualifier in Finland is cancelled. No news yet on what happens next. EDIT: Nice timing Petteri
