Important week to not downgrade, important to promote!

For Holland, Sweden, Spain and Switzerland it will get very exciting next week! Next to Poland, there’re still 3 countries that have to downgrade out of the Top Series. Witch countries will downgrade, that will be clear after next weekend in Dublin.

This year 10 countries were competing, next year it will be only 8 again. There’re 2 countries more and let us stand still for a while there. In Bratislava the Belgian team can do a step in the good direction or better said that’s their plan anyway. It will also be a puzzle to count all the results because not all of them are counting. We only know that the Italians are direct competitors to win the Promotional League. We’re crossing are fingers for Dirk Demeersman, Ludo Philippaerts, Gregory Wathelet and Philippe Lejeune who’ll be going this weekend to Bratislava.
