Two more pairs events scheduled in Czecho: 06.02 Ruzena 07.02 Melice My pics from Weissenbach: http://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/951/keurig-resultaat-nederlanders-tijdens-ijsspeedway-in-weissenbach-.html

I believe there are/were more rounds planned, same for the pairs. Couple events got called off though. Will dig it out later, now enroute back home after a very enjoyable day in Weissenbach

Official press release with the full lineup and substitute riders has been send to the press today....

Haven't heard anything from Schukken, so I doubt if he will ride again. Bolt is back in NL and I think he's feeling fine. He was at Groningen all weekend to display his bikes at a motorshow. Interesting is that the Assen club is reporting on their website that it's likely that Aakko will be replaced by the first reserve Niedermaier.

Too bad Günter got one...

Gotta feel for Sergey Karachintsev.... came 5th but won't ride in the GP's because of this stupid FMN rule.

My god, some of you lot realy have nothing better to do then moan around all day.... I think this can be a fun competition.

Money money money

See you there I will be finally making my first visit to Slovenia for some racing. Roadtripping from NL

What's wrong with driving in Poland? It's no problem.

There won't be a rider from Kazakhstan in Ostersund. First reserve moves up.

Believe he is 67 years old now, still going strong and scored 4 points in the first league match yesterday.

I think the 'exciting new country' will not be somewhere we are used to.... especially when the website has an option to translate it in Arabian.

Read somewhere that it was a 4K crowd on Saturday

Very good prices imo Sales are going well it seems

I hope too.... a new ice stadium looks almost certain, but the question remains if they are willing to stage icespeedway. Same here in NL, not a sign of king winter to arrive. Think we will get the bad news info's from Steingaden/Weissenbach soon.

Yes that's right. The Drenthe province has two candidates for a new ice stadium: Assen and Hoogeveen. The one with the best plan/idea will get the investment/support from the province. Both parties have to make an even more detailed plan because both were rejected some time ago it seems.... And this costs alot of money. To be continued

The One Sport Best Pairs will be back in 2016, but a little different..... no nations but companies can enter the competition. So the companies can buy any riders they like it seems. There will be three events in April/Mai next year, with one round in Germany. More info (in German) here: http://www.speedweek.com//speedwaybp/news/85528/Best-Pairs-Neue-Ideen-wer-bezahlt-deutsches-Team.html

Russian semi finals have been cut short by one round (Novosibirsk) due to a decreasing number of riders. The Sterlitamak round has been moved to Kumertau. The season starts this weekend, and I'm pretty excited. Hope the Russians got their live streams up and running again :)

The second final (on 06.08.2016) will be held in Latvia, so most likely in Daugavpils. Oh and believe it or not but there are once again NO riders from the ACU in the SEC qualifiers

2016 qualifiers: 30.04 Semi final 1 Debrecen 05.05 Semi final 2 Mureck 14.05 Semi final 3 Liberec 15.05 Semi final 4 Zarnovica 26.05 Challenge Olching

Over and out for ZKS Ostrovia as they are bankrupt and resigned from the league. Probably Wroclaw will stage their meetings there.

Yep Holder confirmed for Torun 2016

The SWC will allow reserve in the teams as from next year. This reserve rider can replace a ride who got injured, so for example Poland would have been able to replace Hamel in Gniezno earlier this year. Also it seems that this reserve rider must be a U21 rider. GP's will need at least 16 heats to complete, this was 12 in previous years. http://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/562695/powazne-zmiany-w-grand-prix-i-dps

Haven't seen that list anywhere yet. By the way: FIM Europe calendar was supposed to be published online today... but nothing yet.
