Great Britain - World Champions*




From Marco Belli (via Babelfish)

"We arrived back yesterday from Muhldorf, in Germany, where we raced the 2008 Trophy of Nations. The 1000m track close to Munich is a Superfast sand oval, really well maintained by the local muhldorf Club, who is sustaining dirt track from years.
8 representatives of 8 european countries were there to fight for the first place, but as a prevision, it was Team England** who scored enough to be again the Winner Team. The race for the best rider was a different music as it came in my hand since I won all my heats and also the thrilling 12 laps 1000m track final; during which my Team fellows, Magnoni and Talamona, showed consistence and gained good results: this meant we, as Team Italy, finished as the best third Team of the day.
So the final classification is England, France, Italy and Holland.
Another good goal for dirt track, let’s hope for anybody else who is willing to organize the 2009 Trophy of Nations."

*Because America either weren't invited or didn't send a team...

Fantastic. I have to say, any racing that involves something coming in your hand must make it all worthwhile.
