Bewley is replacing Becker as 5th reserve.

Why? Practice is not compulsory. FIM just needs to make practice compulsory. But with the current TV deal in Poland it will only make things more difficult. FIM needs PZM and vice-versa.

FIM meeting takes priority

Bickley is now first reserve with Flint joining as second reserve.

There will be a slightly altered heat schedule as from the La Réole round.

That’s right, no official live streaming this season.

The new 2019 FIM Long Track season kicks off this thursday in Herxheim (Germany). There will not be an official live stream, but there will be an official live results service powered by FIM + Baansportfansite.nl. See this link: https://www.longtrack-live.com/

We used Hive, Bird and Lime. Pretty cool to cruise around the city like that. Lime was the best, and also biggest area in the city.

There has been a little rule change... the slowest rider from free practice will not automaticly start at first for the qualifying but there will be a draw now. 16:30: draw for qualifying 17:30 - 19:00: free practice 19:00 - 20:00: qualifying

If FIM makes it mandatory then the Polish league has nothing to say. Easy.

It all depends on how bad his collarbone was broken. I have seen riders back on track just a few days after collarbone operation, but it can also take multiple weeks.

Yes Gunther Bauer will get a farewell meeting from the Inzell club. It will be held on the thursday. Bauer can select the riders so I can see Krasnikov riding there. Inzell was sold out on the saturday, and nearly sold out on the sunday Very very well organised club. Think the best on the calendar. Next years date should be on the same weekend. We also booked already an apartment.

Anything can happen with these Russians, I can't wait for Heerenveen My money is on Valeev.

Vechta is an awesome track. It's like a big speedway track, always produces fantastic racing. I realy like it that they are back on the FIM calendar. They also stage the 125cc FIM event on the same day. Also worth mentioning that Cloppenburg will stage their 'Night of the Fights' speedway event on the friday eve before Vechta. It's a 30 minute drive between the two towns. This event is one of the most professional and entertaining events in Germany.
