Great meeting today in Eenrum They were very lucky today with the weather after all. Practice got postponed by almost 5 hours, and after that they ran the meeting super quick (including sidecars and mx). 1. James Shanes GB (4,4,4,3,4,1,4) 24 2. Josef Franc CZ (4,4,4,4,4,4,3) 27 3. Romano Hummel NL (3,2,4,4,3,2,2) 20 4. Mathieu Trésarrieu FR (3,3,3,1,4,2,1) 17 5. Chris Harris GB (4,4,2,4,0,3,0) 17 -- 6. Michael Härtel DE (2,2,3,3,3,3) 16 7. Jesse Mustonen FI (0,3,3,2,2,4) 14 8.

Hynek Stichauer CZ (F,F,0,2,2) 4 14. Glen Phillips GB (1,1,1,0,1) 4 15. Theo Di Palma FR (1,R,R,0,0) 1 Now it's time for some sleep after a very busy 4 days with alot of travelling to meetings in Gniezno, Togliatti and finally Eenrum.

I think it was the memorial heats which they held after the challenge. They ran it a bit wierd though. First they did the 20+1 heats plus prize giving cermoney, after that most of the crowd left. Memorial heats (2 semi + 1 final) was held after it.

Vaculik now also ready to go on Russian bikes.

Few pics from practice on the FIM facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/FIMTrackRacing/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1239207066184403

Practice just finished. Smoli and Dudek on Russian bikes. Not sure about Cook. Vaculik had no bikes in the pits and didn't practice.

Live update also here: https://live.baansportfansite.nl/event/245/fim-speedway-grand-prix-challenge-togliatti.html Just arrived here in Togliatti. Quite a few on Russian bikes.

I guess they will jump on one the next flights to Samara. We had the same problem when we went there for the Ice Gladiators earlier this year.

My pics from last night: https://baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/1415/monster-energy-wint-finale-wedstrijd-speedway-best-pairs-cup-in-gniezno.html

This sunday Eenrum will host the 4th Final round. I will once again provide live updates: https://www.longtrack-live.com/event/241/fim-long-track-world-championship-final-4-eenrum.html

Nothing difficult about it when you have everything sorted properly. Huckenbeck his team arrived today with their own transport. Its more a costs thing I guess.

Hello from Gniezno nice weather here, should be a good night of racing.

I think we will see a couple extra Russians in the lineup
