  1. Time is slowly running out for Grigory, I think he's 37y/o now. Should be given at least a one-off wild card for one of the GPs this year, perhaps anywhere in Poland (Torun or Wroclaw), as the Poles already have enoug riders in it. but I know this won't happen, as they rather let some local youngsters ride instead. Such a shame to miss out on seeing Grigory Laguta in the SGP. Further, he won't even be in the Russian pairs squad for the SoN finals in Togliattim, as they surely will give Artem Laguta and Emil Sayfutdinov, plus U21 Gleb Chugunov, the Chance to defend their title this year. What a shame that we don't have the SWC any more. No proper teams' competiton, only this pairs gimmick. Shame on You, FIM, and shame on You Mr. Armando Castagna. Your Italians are stil not good enough to mix it with the leading nations even in a pairs competition, when You son rides together with an Argentinean with Italian ancestry.
  2. Mark Riss has withdrawn , due to a shoulder injury he sustained in a speedway crash at Pocking on Easter Sunday.
  3. Think so, and then it's probably another couple of Poles who get the remaining wildcards. Let's wait and see !
  4. That's 5 Danes in the SEC Finals - one third of the field of the fifteen permanent riders !
  5. Come on, man, be fair and give Laguta credit were credit is due. He is a great speedway rider ! I woudl dearly love to see him ride as a wild card in one or other of the upcoming SGP rounds. He would ruffle a few feathers there, for sure ! Thomsen could rather challenge the referee's verdict when Woryna came down and he go the blame for that in the all deciding "last chance" heat. That was a harsh decision, that went against Thomsen.
  6. First reports from Poland say that Doyle has a broken rib and a punctured lung (to be confiormed). This would keep him out for some time.
  7. Both Moorwinkelsdamm (near Oldenburg) and Stralsund (on the Baltic Coast) are in the North of Germany, and thus very far, about 700 to 800 km away from Landshut in Bavaria, which is in the deep south of Germany.
  8. Pretty good meeting in far from ideal conditions it was so bitterly cold tonight. At least the rain stayed away. Would not have expected Sweden to win it, but Lindgren rode superbly and Ljung after a slow beginning did improve sufficiently during the meeting. Poland would still have won but for that last heat 3-3 against Germany, when local reserve Michael Härtel's single point against Patryk Dudek became the saviour for the German team and the match winner for Sweden. There was some decent racing on this track tonight, but the attendance was less than what it usually is for big meetings at this track, due to the uncertain and unpleasant weather conditions.
  9. All the latest up-dates are on the official Speedway of Nations website http://www.speedwayofnations.com/
  10. The Ukrainians had to replace both of their riders for tonights First round of the Speedway of Nations in Landshut. Karpov was injured on Thursday, and Loktaev for some reason is also not ridign, so in come Rozalyuk and Melychuk, plus the U21 Levishyn. Latest News from the track. Practice at Landshut is cancelled to leave the covers on the track. There were some rain showers this morning and more rain is expected for the evening. Track remains dry under the covers and can take some rain tonight. Meeting should go ahead as planned (Starts at 6 pm UK time).
  11. You can watch the Highlights here on YouTube
  12. IS that concrete kerb showing up only on just one spot or on several around the track, on the straight, or on the corner ? But is that really such a danger to the riders? It's certainly nothing compared to the concrete walls surrounding many of the Australian speedway tracks in the old days. That was really dangerous for the riders! But this ? Come on, why couldn't they simply have covered that part of the Pila track with a fresh load of shale, and get on with the racing? Looks to me like some "Prima Donna" star riders flexing their muscles again, refusing to ride whenever something does not perfectly suit them ! Sorry, but to cancel a Live TV meeting on a beautiful Easter Hoilday with a big crowd already in the stadium, is a serious matter. This is very damaging for the sport. More so when the official say that the track is safe and ready for racing ! It's a scandal !
  13. Andrew Bucahnan in his farewell meeting. Glad to see that he has recovered enough to take his place after the bad crash he had in the World Cup meeting at Gillman

  15. The track must be licensed, so how can this be? League racing is regularly takign place there, so far with no complaints, and now this. Such a shame ! Sometimes speedway is its own worst enemy, and not just in the UK, as we can see here !
  16. Featuring the best of Poland's Under 21s This "Silver Helmet" meeting is the Poland's national qualifying round for the up-coming World and European U21 Championship rounds.
  17. The Pardubice semi was cancelled because of a lack of participating nations for the European Pairs this year. May have to do with the venue for the final, which is Balakovo in Russia. Therefore the one semi-final round is enough this year. Three (or four?) nations are seeded directly to the final, and the others have to qualify from the Terenzano semi-final round.
  18. Certainly not. This meeting has been cancelled and will not be held at all !
  19. It's a shame that there is no TV coverage of the FIM sidecar speedway events, not even any YouTube video footage from Gillman of the World Cup or the Oceania Championships. It was also quite sad that there were only four non-Aussie competitors in these two meetings, three Kiwis, and the one American, but no British this year. Headland rerpesenting France is a bit of a joke, really. There is also a rumour that Gillman won't stage these FIM sidecar events next season. Does anyone know, if true, where they will be going, or if they will be held at all ? New Zealand perhaps?
  20. The Wroclaw track was really poor for many a year, but is now pretty good since the Stadium renovations.
  21. The meeting on Easter Monday 2019 at Rzeszow will be the tenth POLAND vs REST OF THE WORLD (POLSKA vs RESZTA SWIATA) Speedway Test Match. Poland has five wins so far, RoW has four wins. All meetings took place in Poland. Dates/Venues/Results so far: 1994, April 30, at Warsaw (Gwardia Stadium): POLAND 36, RoW 72 2001, May 27, at Czestochowa: POLAND 45, RoW 63 2011, October 16, at Torun: POLAND 47, RoW 44 2012, April 14, at Gorzow: POLAND 47, RoW 45 2014, October 12, at Rybnik: POLAND 40, RoW 50 2015, October 10, at Lublin: POLAND 54, RoW 36 2016, May 15, at Warsaw (National Stadium): POLAND 44, RoW 46 2017, April 2, at Zielona Gora: POLAND 46, RoW 44 2018, September 1, at Chorzow: POLAND 46, RoW 44 2019, April 22, at Rzeszow: POLAND vs RoW http://www.internationalspeedway.co.uk/polvrow.htm
  22. Certainly not a "poor" team, they will be a match for the much overrated Poles. By the way, who replaces the injured Hampel in the Poland Team?
