DutchGrasstrack

I'm in the press center, and I don't wanna get soaked haha.... but 30 mins before I posted the rain message it was not covered. Rain should clear before the meeting is the latest news here. No covers on, but track looks alright

Guess this will be called off if the GP will be cancelled tonight?

Rain pooring down now

Huckenbeck and Busch are banned by the DMSB for one week because they said 'no' to their nomination to ride in the European (FIM Europe) Pairs final in Riga on saturday.

For those traveling too to Malilla, there will be two events in nearby Vetlanda on saturday. First one starts at 10.00 and the second one at 13.00. I'm not sure what kind of meetings these are, but it's pretty cool to have a full day of speedway.

Yes small crowd, I think only around 1000 people. But much more then I expected, the weather was bad with most of the meeting rain.

My pics from Torun vs Gorzow here: http://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/1147/poolse-ekstraliga-torun-wint-thuis-verdiend-van-gorzow.html Been a realy good trip with Bydgoszcz on friday, then through the night to Daugavpils and then back to Poland the following day to attend the Torun match. 3600 kilometers in total

The events sponsor is called MIB Nordic

Pawelek as second reserve, that's very weird...

Hello from Torun. Everything looks good for a nice evening of speedway in MA

My pics from a fantastic evening in Latvia here: http://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/1145/grigory-laguta-wint-ronde-twee-europees-kampioenschap-speedway-in-daugavpils.html

One of the best meetings I have ever seen Definitely worth the long drive east.

Hello from Daugavpils hope the weather stays fine here.

Team USA Billy Janniro Ryan Fisher Broc Nicol Luke Becker Hancock pulled out to give Becker a ride ....

So Hancock just rode to make sure that USA will be in the main event again next year or what? Poor show and sad for the Germans who now miss out.

Australia Brady Kurz Jake Allen Max Fricke Jack Holder Cameron Heeps Denmark Frederik Jakobsen Mikkel B. Andersen Patrick Hansen Andreas Lyager Jonas Jeppesen

Probably that website is not up to date. The team lineup I quote is the one from the lastest FIM press release.

Russia is now confirmed as: 1. Victor Kulakov 2. Emil Sayfutdinov 3. Andrei Kudriashov 4. Artem Laguta

Lol what? No Brits entered the qualifiers for whatever reason.

Smolinski is in Czecho for the World Longtrack Teams. It seems that first reserve Tobias Busch will replace him.

Both are CCP wildcards according to the FIM sheets.

Harris is going to ride in more grasstrack/longtrack events: tomorrow night in Marmande (France) and also in Werlte (Germany) on July 23th.

Martin Vaculik and Fredrik Lindgren got the both wildcards for the Challenge.
