  1. There is a chance for You in the UK to get to see one of our best female riders, Nepalese-German Patricia 'Paddy' Erhart in the SGP2 qualifying round in Glasgow on Saturday, May 24. Here she is pictured along with her Olching team mates Martin Smolinski (captain), Seychellian-German Mario Häusl, and the junior 250cc rider Carlos Gennerich, in yesterday's Bundesliga 2 meeting at Teterow. This is what she afterwards wrote (in english) on facebook: P2 in Teterow. Great team spirit, happy to be a part of it . For me though, it was a day to forget. After my fall in training, it went downhill from there. I did not trust enough to go fast or take over. I had that same problem in the last years after my bad crashes, so it was nothing new, but I hoped to have left this issue behind. Also my clutch didn’t cooperate, I got two warnings because in the green light phase my bike pulled me near the tapes. In consequence I was forced to start 15 meters behind in third heat. It was disappointing, but bad days happen. Now I only look forward to my next race. I will be participating in Scotland for the SGP2 Quali in about two weeks. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1589724204579111
  2. I hope not, because he is a great entertainer, that's for sure.
  3. yes, the stadium gates open at 12 o'clock, qualifying starts at 14h, sprint race follows suit Preparations for the WWK – Schwaiger & Partner FIM Speedway GP of Germany are well underway, and over 6,000 tickets have already been sold. The first round of the individual World Championship series will take place on Saturday, May 3, at 7 p.m. in our OneSolar Arena. The stadium gates open at noon, and standing room tickets are still available at https://speedway-landshut.de/tickets.html
  4. Blödorn had the wild card at Landshut last year. Riss, Wölbert and Grobauer all ride for the Landshut Devils. By the way, Grobauer only had bad luck in last year's German Final, otherwise he would never have finished below Celina in the results. Grobauer had to retire from the meeting after his fourth outing, having blown an engine in his second ride (when he was leading Riss for nearly three laps) and shedding a chain in his fourth ride. Grobauer scored five points from only two completed rides, and was in the class of Riss and Wolbert, while Celina scored seven points from five rides and was never in the hunt for a top position.
  5. Erik Riss is the German champion and Kevin Wölbert the runner-up.
  6. Paddy finished tenth in the first round of the Italian Championship at Lonigo last week. There are some photos on her facebook page and she gives an account of how it went https://www.facebook.com/24deaththekid24/posts/1746885189283768?ref=embed_post
  7. Because You can see it for yourself and be able to judge the possible seriousness of the situation instead of guessing and not really knowing what happend. No harm done posting this video. If You don't want to see it, don't click it. Thanks for posting the video @BluPanther
  8. There were quite a few speedway riders from Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, most prominently Peter Prinsloo, Mike Ferreira, and Denzil Kent, but I remember only one rider in British speedway rider who came from Zambia, that was James Hayhow. https://reader.exacteditions.com/issues/91793/page/44
  9. 8 teams in the qualifying round? How can Croatia participate when they dont even have a single rider? Zagar isn't one, he only holds a Croatian license! Poland, Denmark, Latvia are probably seeded to the final, but what abouth Great Britain?
  10. Patricia "Paddy" Erhart, born in Kathmandu, capital of Nepal, and later adopted by a German couple Similar story as with Antonio Lindbäck, who was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, and adopted as a child by a Swedish couple
  11. Madness ! 😓 Is there any truth in these ticket prices shown here? I can't believe it. This is robbery, people will stay at home and watch it on tv and the stadium will be empty !
  12. All six rounds of the 2025 FIM Flat Track World Championship series will be streamed LIVE and for FREE at FIM-MOTO.TV in a move that is intended to expand the sport’s coverage, showcasing it in front of a much wider audience of knowledgeable enthusiasts. https://www.fimflattrack.com/new-look-fim-flat-track-world-championship-unveiled/
  13. Brian Burford's 4-page story of the first Speedway Test Match is a very good read in this week's Speedway Star. Great historic pictures, too. I love my Speedway Star.💕
