Hi, All -
Rafal Dobrucki, Polish SGP rider, owing to several injuries is now under
medical treatment. His doctor didn't release him to the Grand Prix of Great
Britain in Coventry. Just to-day.
the PZM (Polish Motor Federation) informed the FIM about his retirement.
It's a pity!...
Cheers -

Very disappointing defeat for Wolves, ending their 10 match unbeaten run.
Eagles lost David Norris with an arm injury in Heat 3, and with new signing
Per Wester totally ineffective, should have been there for the taking. But
Wolves needed all riders on form to cover for Sam Ermolenko, and could ill
afford such uncharacteristic poor performances from Ronnie Correy and Nicki
Pedersen.
Jesper B Jensen was in fine form as Wolves man of the match, but of his team
mates only really Adam Skornicki seemed on form. Ronnie Correy failed to
make any ground in the races where he missed out at the start, while Nicki
Pedersen was very erratic, falling twice and never looking comfortable.
Roman tried hard as ever, but this was one of his poorer performances points
wise. Guest Buzz Burrows did all that could be expected of him, beating his
opposing number Wester.
Full credit to Eastbourne who produced an excellent performance to cover the
loss of Norris and fully deserved to win. Dugard, Screen and Barker were all
in good form, and reserve Petr Kokko was the match winner with some very
fast starts. Newcomer Per Wester looked all at sea and never looked like
beating a Wolves rider. The only sour note on a fine Eagles performance are
the reports on the internet that the "injured" Paul Hurry was actually fit
enough to qualify for the final of a Longtrack meeting the day before... is
this true - any comments?
All the best,
Mark Rowe.

In reply to Mark:
Yes, it's true. Paul rode over the weekend and finished 4th in the A
final, as shown below. There have been lots of instances this year
where riders are fit to ride in one meeting but not another (eg the GPs)
and it seem to be increasing - if they have asked for a day off then
should the R/R facility be allowed?
Cheers

It was not just 'a longtrack meeting'. It was the first round of the World
Championchip and he finished fourth overall. I spoke to him and he
had a lot of pain in his shoulder (cut or damaged ligaments) and two
broken ribs. Its currently much easier for him to ride on a longtrack than
on the speedway. Kelvin Tatum who has won the meeting is still suffering
from his crash last year (broken hip). He is able to ride on the longtrack
but not speedway as you need a lot of power in your leg.

Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2000 07:34:36 +1000
Rory Schlein - who turns 16 in just over one month - will
make his debut on a 500cc machine in Adelaide this coming
summer after winning the recent Australian Junior Championship in Darwin.
With an outstanding pedigree behind him (his father Lyndon was a top line
sidecar rider in the 1980s), Rory will travel with his parents to England in
March next year.
Schlein has been having talks with a U.K team as he has British ancestry and
the young man is looking to a bright start.
"I am really lucky. I'm going to give it my best shot as I love speedway,
the racing and the people you meet. Mum and Dad have given me the best
opportunity to do what I love, so it's all up to me now."
The young teenager hopes to follow in the wheel tracks of form
