Early Morning Moto News? Tomasz Gollob Wants to Race!

And, why the heck not!?! He should be able to race and ride for as long as he wants - we all know this as we have all thought, at least once or twice, that we will never stop riding unless it stops being fun. That is not likely to happen. Gollob wants to keep riding in the FIM Speedway Grand Prix series for at least nine more years - he does his life in ten year plans and he just started. Third place in 2008, second place in 2009, and we will see where he ends up in 2010. He should be on path for that title, finally! If everything holds together, I hope he is still in it at 50, if he is happy to do so. Again, a message of Good Luck to the Polish rider, and let this be the last season we hear, "the best rider without a championship."

Friday Night Extra Extra - Leigh Adams to Retire from Speedway

Leigh Adams is now only 38 years-old and is actually a legend in the Speedway Grand Prix paddock - at least in the minds of many fans of the sport. He has ridden for both the Swindon Robins and the Polish Leszno and retired from the Grand Prix series last year. He will do a 'farewell' tour of sorts and will get to race in both of his old stadiums in 2010. Then, it is back to Australia for Adams, and some time with his family. He'll probably pop up here and there...but, we will see.

EICMA: Polish Motorcycle Company Romet Displays 249 Division

Not sure if that is the exact name, but the motorcycle is interesting. I agree that it does look like it would last for quite a while. However, I would not expect it to age well. It is nice to know that Poland has an industry - motorcycle, that is - up and running. Everyone has to start somewhere...and, it is not too bad of a start.

FIM Speedway Grand Prix: 2010 Schedule Announced

There are three new tracks added to the Speedway Grand Prix calendar for 2010 - Polish track Torun and Croatian track Gorican for SGP and the track in Gorzow, Poland for the Speedway World Cup competition. Given the 2009 season's results, 2010 should see even closer racing. If you can see one of these races, don't miss it - it is fast, dangerous and fun to watch!

Australian Jason Crump Thanks Formula 1 Racer Mark Webber

It turns out that Crump and Webber - who won the Brazilian F1 GP this past weekend - are very good friends; so when Crump injured his left arm, Webber sent a doctor to help Crump in Poland. That's friendship!

Australian Jason Crump Wins Third FIM Speedway Grand Prix Championship

The race win in Poland at Bydgoszcz was enough to cement Crump's position at the top of the competitors - he now has his third Speedway GP Championship! It was a hard-fought night, as it always is in Speedway, but he turned in a good performance and took his honors for doing so. He also paid tribute to another Speedway ace, Leigh Adams, who will retire and yet took second position at the event...

Polish Speedway Venue Motoarena Torun to See FIM Speedway Grand Prix Round for Five Years

The contract has been signed and the track placed into the schedule. Poland's Motoarena Torun has signed on with the FIM to host the Speedway Grand Prix for the next five years. The first race will be seen on 19 June 2009. This location is often called the most advanced purpose-built speedway, so they have added a worthwhile venue for 2010 and onwards!
