Germany Under-18 v Poland Under-18

2003 Poland Under-18 won series 3-0
Fri 15.08 : Teterow Germany Under-18 25 Poland Under-18 26 (abandoned after ht.10)
Sat 16.08 : Stralsund Germany Under-18 27 Poland Under-18 41
Sun 17.08 : Ludwigslust Germany Under-18 21 Poland Under-18 48
Notes : These were 7-man 14-heat matches. Poland had only 5 riders, and their team was completed with two "guest" German riders whose scores did not count. For Germany, only their top 5 riders' scores counted. Although both teams were indeed "under 18", the German team was, in fact, all Under 16!

{short description of image} In answer to my question, "what's a naked man doing on a speedway programme cover?", I received this explanation from Christian Weber:

"Funny they put that naked guy on the prog cover. I seem to remember around that time there once was a "streaker" at a Teterow speedway meeting.He ran around the race track in the nude during a track preparation session and was running behind the water sprayer wagon to the amusement of the big crowd in attendance. It may have been a "hot" night. Everyone saw the funny side of this action, and the promoter seems to have liked it so much that they put his picture on one of the next race programmes. Truly amazing!"
