I don’t really care about the war when I’m watching speedway, I’d rather Russian be in it, whether that upsets people or not. What charity? 3rd behind Denmark and Australia in their SoN semi, 5 points ahead of the Czechs. They're there by merit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charity because they are not as good as Russia, and politics chose to let them in due to the war instead of Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is incorrect, if Russia were in it so would be Ukraine, they are still above the Czechs in terms of qualifying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 If Russia were in it... they may not be in it anyway as they have previously been allowed in it but chose not to be in it due to lack of funding 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not seeing the charity - they qualified for this via the SoN, nobody has handpicked Ukraine to ride in this. They've also ridden in every SoN bar one, even before Russia invaded, so that doesn't stack up either. Out of curiosity, who would you pick for the Russian team? Presumably Artem and Emil are a no-go, now they're Polish citizens? Guess we'd be back to 2021 with Vladimir Borodulin, Sergey Logachev and Mark Karion, when they finished below France and Latvia.

If only no idea why he still gets a pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted yesterday at 06:36 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:36 AM (edited) 1st SWC Semi-final in Landshut is a week away on Friday 1st May start time 6pm UK time. I have searched TNT Sports and cannot find it listed and HBO Max don’t appear to have a proper daily schedule( that i can find). Can someone else have a look ? Edit via TNT sports i have now found it listed on HBO Max only. With GB riding in the meeting and TNT having 4 channels i find it amazing that it’s only on HBO Max Edited yesterday at 06:50 AM by racers and royals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other Semi with no GB involvement fair enough. At the end of the day it’s all about selling HBO Max subscriptions !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
