René Stellingwerf will race in Saalfelden this weekend .

Oleg Doseav will be riding for the Ukraine in Sanok. The FMU gave the other place back and Josef Kreuzberger from Austria will take that place. Read somewhere the Kaminsky was refused to take a Ukrainian license this year.

Here's the lineup for the Sanok cup on 22/01: Stefan Pletschacher GER Florian Furst GER Jouni Seppanen FIN Henri Malinen FIN Tommy Flytkman SWE Stefan Svensson SWE Robert Henderson SWE Per Olof Serenius SWE Franz Zorn AUT Martin Posch AUT Pawel Strugala CH Grzegorz Knapp POL Mirosław Daniszewski POL Antonin Klatovsky CZ Jan Klatovsky CZ Nikolaj Krasnikov RUS Igor Kononow RUS Daniil Ivanov RUS Ivan Ivanov RUS Sergey Karachintsev RUS Johny Tuinstra NL Sven Holstein NL

Radek Hutla CZ 18. Petr Klauz CZ Very suprised to see two CZ riders as reserve .

The two meetings in Flims (Switzerland) are both called off because of the hot weather. The KNMV got an extra place in the Sanok WC Qualifier and Sven Holstein is going to race there. René Stellingwerf will race in Saalfelden (if a miracle happens). The last Dutch place in Saalfelden hasn't been announced yet. --- EDIT: Oh it has been announced . René Stellingwerf, Simon Reitsma will both race in Saalfelden with Gerrit Schukken and René Verhoef as reserve.

Reitsma en Schukken cancelled their entry in Ruzena and both are riding in Poznan. Mario Schwaiger and Florian Fürst are replacing both Dutch boys in Ruzena.

Interesting to see that Reitsma and Schukken are riding in 2 meetings on the same day in 2 different countries lol.

Yes they arrived to late. The bad weather delayed their trip and they could only race their last 2 heats.

2011 ACU Allocations FIM - Speedway GP Qualifiers 5 spots FIM - Speedway U21 only 2 spots FIM - Speedway U21 Teams not taking part European Championship Speedway not taking part European Championship Speedway Juniors only 2 spots European Championship Speedway Teams taking part European Championship Speedway Pairs not taking part

You lot where seeded in the final last year But you are quite right, these meetings are perfect for the youngsters to get the important experience. It looks like that the ACU isn't interested in sending riders to the UEM and FIM meetings, I'm sure France got even more riders in these meetings then UK .

René Stellingwerf is back home and the latest news reports that he's willing to race in Saalfelden on 22 January. Hope his double fractured leg will recover quick. Tough lad

Thanks for the results Ian Johnny Tuinstra is replacing René Stellingwerf in the Santa Cup.

More bad news, the first round of the CZ championship this weekend has been called off .
