It works perfectly over here in NL. Also on an iPad is no problem as livestream.com uses HTML5 for devices like iPads

Yes see this page: http://www.speedway-forum.de/index.php/Thread/10426-Live%C3%BCbertragungen-kanalsport-dk-DSL-2014/?postID=157890#post157890

It is free in my country as well (yes I got your point )

Interesting interview here: http://www.speedweek.com/speedwaybundesliga/news/54536/Liga-Ausstieg-Wittstock-macht-DMSB-verantwortlich.html (in German obviously)

No suprise, the calendar makes no sense at all... shame though. Only three teams left now...

Watched the NZ GP for the first time on the stream rather then being there live (sadly). The racing came through realy well, and Smoli was awesome, although I'm not a big fan of the German haha. This is huge for German speedway, and hope for him that his form continues. With two big One Sport meetings in Germany as well this can only be good fur unsere Deutsche speedway freunden Did miss Emil in the GP's though, but was good to see him in Gorzow yesterday racking up 3 heat wins for Torun haha

Does the ACU not have a rule to make an exception? Over here in NL they do.... if you show the federation that you are capable to ride a 500cc bike then they will give you a license. Ofcourse you can then only ride in your own country..... I remember some Dutch kid trying to ride in Germany (longtrack) last year, and they refused him on the race day to compete because he was too young. They did accept his entry form, but forgot to look at his DOB lol ....

yep edit: oops a bit late

Wolbert and Dilger are not riding for Germany in Landshut... the team is Smolinski, Kroner and Hartel.

Hmm good point We'll see what happens, hope to see him in Landshut though

Yes or representing his country in front of a huge audience, easy choice tbh.

Can't believe some of this nonsense which is posted here. One Sport is doing an awesome job and we all know that. LIVE speedway on Eurosport in many many countries. Don't think there are many other big projects which promote speedway in this way. Typical beheavior from the BSPA/ACU (whatever)... it's the same with not bothering to send riders to the FIM Europe meetings. They just can't give a crap about racing abroad, or giving their riders a shot on foreign tracks so the'll get noticed. I'm sure Harris, Woffy, Cook would love to have a go in front of a big crowd, including TV coverage on Eurosport. Surely 'they' can move a few dates from their leagues around, they do it all the time when it rains or when they can't get their tracks together. Who cares that One Sports entered their dates after the deadline of the international competitions, this is BIG and LIVE, what else do you want?

Przedpelski didn't look too good, not on the pace at all. I heard he had some problems with his setup. Rawicz photo's: http://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/327/gouden-helm-kwalificatie-in-rawicz.html

Ah yes sorry, I meant the saturday event in Zielona Gora Been to Torun friday, Zielona Gora saturday and Rawicz sunday

Gorzow's lineup was a joke lol... only 2 Gorzow riders, the rest were guests. Nice meeting though, never been to Zielona Gora before. Only 10 zloty to watch was a big plus too. I've uploaded some pics here: http://www.baansportfansite.nl/nieuws/326/trainingswedstrijd-zielona-gora-tegen-gorzow.html Hope it's better on sunday when Gorzow meets Torun for a challenge.

I can't wait for this! Going to Zielona Gora on the way back to home (saturday) for their test match against Gorzow, good weekend in prospect.

Will get interesting for sure! Have fun taking snaps there, I have to give it a miss....

Crazy ticket prizes if you ask me... 30 euros for a standing place is way too much lol. Drinks and food were not allowed, even a coffee can was taken away from an angry German fan. They also took my Red Bull cans of me because they were 'dangerous'.... Wonder what they will do next year. Hans Weber was awesome. He can't gate, but he can overtake! Would be cool if he gets the Inzell wildcard Heard Sven Holstein will replace Antti Aakko in Inzell.

Yes, four teams will compete. Blijham, Lelystad, Veenoord and Heusden-Zolder. Four meetings in total haven been planned (see above), should be good.

Bauer got his broken arm fixed with a plate and seven screws... he plans to ride again in Inzell in less then two weeks.
