The local federations usually ban the rider, then FIM takes it over. Same with Jannick de Jong who failed the test in Holland earlier this year, then also suspended by the FIM and can't compete in FIM Longtrack.

Sun is out

Hope they stage both meetings tomorrow if todays race off gets postponed. Just passed polish border, rain rain.

Live update link for this sunday: https://www.longtrack-live.com/event/229/fim-long-track-world-championship-final-3-m-hldorf.html Racing starts at 13:30 CET. For the Facebook users: keep an eye on https://www.facebook.com/FIMTrackRacing/. We will post live streams from the draws and final heats.

Came from the official press release. Now also on other media.

Restage date for the race-off is saturday.

Broc Nicol (U21)

This is correct.

The third final will be held this weekend in Muhldorf. There are a few changes in the lineup: - Jannick de Jong will not ride (banned) -> Jorg Tebbe will replace him. - Hynek Stichauer will also not ride (injured) -> Romano Hummel will replace him.

Typical Gorzow. I have seen many awful meetings there. GP's are usually quite good though.

10k? Not so sure.

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.
