Wrong, not €170,000. They needed about €20 000, but sponsor retired. What about Laukkanen and Katajisto? Club TŻ Lublin still exist so the riders still had contracts with it. So they can be lend to other clubs. I think Laukkanen will find new club soon. Czestochowa was unfair. They decide to didn't ride in last heats. Why? I don't know. Fans weren't happy.

Could you post all italians termins for 2008?

What happened with Andrew Tree? Any news? Does he really died?!

So like every year, in 2008 there are Argentinian Individual Championships. The favorites are Lisandro Husman (he was in norwegian league in season 2007) and Manuel Hauzinger, who gained title in 2007. From 13.01 to 30.01 there also rode another man from Austria - Manuel Novotny. I found results of nine rounds, it's not the end. Below I wrote only results of finals. Just look for Micaela Bazan - this woman was twice in finals. 1st. round, Bahia Blanca (23.12): ALLENDE, Covatti, Hauzinger, Romano, Goycochea, Husman 2nd. round, Bahia Blanca (30.12): HUSMAN, Covatti, Allende, Romano, Hauzinger, Catafi 3rd. round, Bahia Blanca (8.01): HAUZINGER, Allende, Romano, Goycochea 4th. round, Bahia Blanca (13.01): HUSMAN, Covatti, Novotny, Bazan, Curzio, Hauzinger 5th. round, Carhue (18.01): HUSMAN, Covatti, Gismondi, Romano, Hauzinger, Novotny 6th. round, Bahia Blanca (20.01): HAUZINGER, Husman, Covatti, Allende, Novotny, Romano 7th. round, Bahia Blanca, (30.01): L.HUSMAN, Allende, Covatti, Novotny, Hauzinger, Keegan 8th. round, Bahia Blanca, (3.02): HAUZINGER, Salas, Fanfliet, Keegan, Romano 9th. round, Bahia Blanca, (10.02): HAUZINGER, Covatti, Romano, F.Husman, Keegan, Bazan Standings after 9 rounds: 1.

First he signed in Ostrów because no one knows what will happened in Lublin. When Lublin accessed to league, he goes there.

Next part: Lublin: Matej Kus (from Ostrów) Grudziądz: Wojciech Żurawski, Krystian Barański, Rafał Kowalski Gniezno: Tomasz Wiśniewski, Robin Bergqvist, Christian Ago, Claus Vissing

Yes, this year so many riders from Finland in Poland! I think it's good for Suomi. Maekinen, Nieminen, Kylmaekorpi, Laukkanen, Katajisto, Hautamaeki. New signs: Lublin: Kai Laukkanen, Mark Lemon, Richard Hall, Niklas Larsson, Kalle Katajisto, René Bach, Jarosław Poluchowicz Wrocław: Mariusz Węgrzyk, Andy Smith, Ben Barker Bydgoszcz: Robert Wardzała Gdańsk: Sebastian Trumiński

Hm, it's different to know what happened in New Zealand. So when and where were North Island Champs and South Island Champs and who knows results?

Next new signs: Krosno: Rafał Chiński Ostrów: Rafał Szombierski, Matej Kus Gniezno: Tomasz Cieślewicz, Krzysztof Nowacki Tarnów: Danił Iwanow Gdańsk: Igor Kononow, Lenar Nigmatzianow, Mariusz Franków, Marek Mróz, Krzysztof Stojanowski

There are few new signs, because it's end of Jaunuary. If someone want to ride in polish league in 2008 must sign contract before February. Sometimes these are "warsaw contracts" without informations about money. Riders next can be borrow/lend. So: Mariusz Staszewski and Sławomir Dudek in Zielona Góra; Łukasz Jankowski in Ostrów; Roman Chromik and Henrik Moeller in Rybnik; Josh Auty in Gdańsk; Grzegorz Dzik and Maks Gregoric in Krosno; Sandor Tihanyi in Miskolc; Dawid Stachyra, Krzysztof Szyszka, Janusz Ślączka, Marcin Leś, Rafał Klimek in Rzeszów.

Any results of North Island Championships?

It's my dream to see SWC format that teams racing one team against one team, like they do in league racing. Imagine that in speedway is big sponsor, who give nations unbelievable sum of money.

Ricky Wells 7. Tom Hedden Without teams: Bulgaria: only Milan Manev Estonia: only Margus Mandre and Ken Vildas Japan: only Hideaki Ota Moldova: only Igor Murasko Suitzerland: only Sirg Schutzbach So there are 28 teams in championships! I think the good system would be by divisions like wrote Ken Kestrel. There wouldn't be so big differences in teams strenght. Maybe six groups with 4-5 teams, or 4 groups with seven teams. So big group will be very exciting. One team (or two) goes down, and one (or two) go up in each group. Like in league. For ex.: Group 1: Poland, Sweden, Danmark, Australia, Great Britain, Russia, Czech Republic Group 2: Germany, USA, Hungary, Slovenia, Finland, Norway, Italy Group 3: Austria, Croatia, Latvia, Ukraine, Holland, France, Slovakia Group 4: Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand, Romania, South Africa What do you think: who will win in each group? If someone want can try simulate by Speedway Meeting this champs

Do you know what format will be in league and cup? How many teams and what regulations? Do you have any news from Norway?

What about league and cup? Do you know dates in Norway?

Do you know full results?

Speedway Miskolc new signs: Karol Baran Tomasz Rempała Marcin Leś Tomasz Bajerski Adrian Rymel Radek Tibiejew Ben Wilson Ricky Ashworth Stefan Ekberg

Yes, Hlib is banned by club, but.... club can unbanned him I think if Hlib will be important and necessary in squad, he will say "I'm sorry", club promoters will say "OK, but don't do this again" and the next day Paweł will ride in league

Every new contracts are updated at these sites

Why there weren't Andrew Bargh and Dale Finch?

Antonio before season 2007 has signed three year contract. In this list are riders with signed contracts, so there is also Antonio.

In Ostrów signed also Robert Miśkowiak.

No problem

So, what do you think, which rider from Belgium will start 27th april in Neustadt in European Championships quali? Who will start 6th july in Krsko in Junior European Championships quali?

I'm sorry but you have wrong stadium in Poznań. This is PSŻ stadium.
