Yes this is changed. No more wildcards, unless a Croatian rider failed to qualify (which is likely). Then only 3 from Abensberg. Pavlic will start in Abensberg, so he will have 2 chances to qualify for GP.

Won't work when the longtrack events are still on the sundays. I know FIM want to stage them on the saturdays, but I've seen request from KNMV to stage the Roden round on sunday 22.09. Same day as the Polish playoffs.

Open meeting Marmande in France for example. Vechta in Germany is a good one as well. They used to stage FIM meetings, now open meetings. Full house every year.

Not great these days. There are a few events with good money. Winning a Long Track Final round will get you for example 2500 euro.

Nicki Pedersen tried longtrack today. Anyone seeing a wildcard coming up?

I was there a few weeks ago but it looks the same as a few years back. It all felt a bit old though.

Hoping the SON will be there. Stadium will be sold out for sure.

Krsko round not happening due to conflict between club and the organizers.

Amazing day of longtrack racing yesterday in Muhldorf. Both Smolinski and Berge scored 104 points after 5 final events. Atmosphere was amazing when Smolinski won the final. Pics and full results here: https://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/1672/martin-smolinski-tijdens-laatste-heat-wereld-kampioen-langbaan.html

Togliatti will host the teams and Heerenveen the final two individual rounds.

#7 will be Patrik Mikel
