Today we are in Marianske Lazne (Czech Republic) for the 2018 Long Track Qualifier. 25 riders in total, top 12 will go to the Challenge in Berghaupten Live updates starting at 14:30CET https://www.longtrack-live.com/event/225/fim-long-track-world-championship-qualifying-round-marianske-lazne.html

Yeah they are on the lineup

Wildcards for Artem Laguta and Michael Jepsen Jensen Reserves are Roman Lakhbaum and Gleb Chugunov

Smolinski cancelled his entry in the World Cup qualifier in Riga on sunday due to 'personal problems'. So I'm not sure if he will replace Doyle if needed.

Wildcards to be announched soon. Probably tomorrow.

Harris looked quite desperate. Suffered mechanical failures in two of his heats, also in practice. He is missing serious focus due to his speedway commitments I think. Some pics from last night: https://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/1369/mathieu-tressarieu-slaat-keihard-toe-op-zijn-lievelingsbaan-la-reole-.html

The reserves will by the way be provided by the MFR instead of the numbers 8 from Olching/Terenzano. FIM changed this rule, just like in the semis.

Today we are in France for the second Longtrack Final in La Reole. Very hot temperatures (over 35+ degrees), so not easy for the riders. Practice went well, no crashes. Don't forget to follow the live results: https://www.longtrack-live.com/event/221/fim-long-track-world-championship-final-2-la-reole.html Wildcard news for the third round in Muhldorf: Martin Smolinski. Jorg Tebbe and Markus Eibl will be reserve. Jannick de Jong still included in the lineup, so I guess Tebbe will move up.

This saturday the World Longtrack championship continues with the second final in La Reole. Live updates will be posted from 20:30 local time. https://www.longtrack-live.com/event/221/fim-long-track-world-championship-final-2-la-reole.html

Would have done it but I'm off to France that day for the 2nd World Longtrack final

I will go to Olching and provide live updates from trackside on http://live.baansportfansite.nl

Wroclaw is sold out for tonights match

Olching Erik Riss (9th in the Abensberg quali) Rene Deddens (did not take part in the qualis) Terenzano Paco Castagna (14th in the Zarnovica quali) Daniele Tessari (12th in the Lonigo quali)

Any thoughts on the new reserve rule for the Semi finals? It seems that the hosting nation can now use their own riders as reserve.

They put that up because they sold all the normal tickets

De Jong posted a statement today. He had a very small amount of amphetamine in his body, but he does not know how this happened. They are now waiting for more test results.

New update to the Olching starting list: Erik Riss and Rene Deddens are named as reserve.
