In Speedway Star this week, there is an interesting comment of Artem Laguta who was asked for his opinion on Tai Woffinden's disappointing season in Poland. Quote: "To be honest, I don't know the reason for Tai's weaker performance this year. We don't talk to each other on an everday basis - everyone who knows me is aware that my English is not fluent, so it is hard for me to get information. On the other hand, Tai has struggled from the beginning of the season and it seems to me that it is not necessarily the issue of the equipment he uses."

Exotic and unusual speedway nationalities
Bavarian replied to Bavarian's topic in International World of Speedway
In the late 1970s there was a speedway rider from Luxembourg, Raoul Schiltz. Schiltz was mainly a grass tracker, but did also ride in some speedway meetings here on the Continent. To the best of my knowledge he was the only speedway rider the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg ever had. -
Number 16 on the start list for the SGP 4 at Malilla is a girl, but they wrote her name wrong. The correct name is Stepanka Nyklova, and she come from Liberec in the Czech Republic.

Exotic and unusual speedway nationalities
Bavarian posted a topic in International World of Speedway
Every now and then there are riders with unusual or exotic speedway backgrounds. One of them is MARIO HÄUSL, who is half German and half Seychellois. The seventeen-year old rides as a junior in the Polish League team of the German speedway club Landshut Devils. Mario, "The Pride of the Seychelles" is pictured here in Landshut racing gear, together with his mum. The Seychellois people ar a unique blend of Créole, Indian, Chinese, French and British Bloods. https://www.nation.sc/articles/18870/speedway-talent-mario-husl-signs-with-ac-landshut- -
At the age of 40, Grigory Laguta still rides speedway in Russia. He even is the current national champion and captain of the Vladivostok team in the Russian Speedway League. A week ago at Oktyabrsky, Grigory Laguta won the Rinat Mardanshin Memorial. On Thursday though he crashed in a league meeting at Balakovo and suffered a concussion. In his heyday he was certainly one of the best riders in the world, was European champion, but sadly never rode in the SGP series except for a couple of wild card appearances in Latvia.

Gp world Championship qualifying rounds
Bavarian replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Usually the top four from each round qualify. But just in case, which of these four rounds has only three qualified riders if the Czechs need a wild card for the SGP challenge at Pardubice? -
There is not much coming through the system, though, and there is an alarming lack of young riders even down in the 85cc youth division. Two many foreign stars, mostly Polish riders, employed by the Swedish clubs.

The event was limited to a maximum of 999 spectators in the stadium, which was not reached by far.
