I asked because he was in Italy on the 9th. I guess training doesn't count as it's not paid work? My assumption would be the same as yours. |

I would guess that it's a Europe wide thing, as we are all governed by the same European employment legislation. Not necessarily, since each country is free to determine its policy towards nationals from outside the European Union. As you will note, the quote from Swindon seems to be UK-specific: Regrettably, recently introduced legislation relating to the issue of visas to non EU workers entering the UK has affected the ability of Troy Batchelor and Emil Sajfutdinov to arrive in time for Sunday’s 60th anniversary meeting. |

I suppose I should clarify what I'm getting at. The recent newspaper article spoke of Emil not being able to make these meetings because of Visa problems, but it also said it might affect his practise in Italy too. I wondered if the problem had been resolved, as he made it to Lonigo, or if it was different rules for different countries.

Well, as a Russian Sajfutdinov would need a visa to enter Italy. The problem with visas is that they are bi-lateral agreements essentially and their issue can often be affected by relations between countries. For example, relations between the UK and Russia haven't been in the best shape since the Litvinenko poisoning. It is often also the case that the British tend to be more fastidious than their European colleagues when it comes to things like visas, while the Russians can be just awkward.

I don't know for sure, but I would imagine that being resident in Poland and racing in Sweden, Emil probably has an annual visa for the Schengen Area. This would allow him to travel and work in all of the 25 member states but, crucially, not the UK. |

It looked good for the erractic princeling, until the business end of the meeting, when he was stuffed good and proper. A bit of a surprise to see Nicki P bested by Kasprzak in the final.

Lindback was superb tonight & good to see the lad with such talent seems to be getting back to the type of form he's capable of. Other than that, the meeting wasn't great, big crowd, little atmosphere. Looks like there's a moto-x type rut out wide on bend 2 which provided most of the action as riders lost places when they hit it. Only other real piece of entertainment was Mads having a pop at NKI after one race - team spirit in the Panthers camp off to a good start.  |

Adams was the only rider to get a decent cheer, and even that dipped in the middle of the meeting. Still I enjoyed my first trip to Swindon, took some time to get use to the size of the track, because for a girl who has spent most of her speedway life at Eastbourne, it is big  . Lastly, I want Nicki back  |

Lastly, I want Nicki back I think that's half the problem with Swindon Mimi, the track is so big you don't really get a good feel for the racing as you're so far away. Stood on the 2nd bend you can't really see what's going on at the other side of the track. The other half of the problem is the locals. ;D Unfortunately it's my most local track now so if I want to see some speedway it's likely I'll have to head west occasionally on a Thursday night to cheer on the opposition. |
