INTERNATIONALS - HOLLAND
Holland - 4-Team Matches
| 1960 |
Sun 12.06 : Geleen | Holland | v. | Austria | v. | England | v. | Germany | |
| The programme cover suggests that this might have been
an international 4-team tournament, but the meeting was reported in
Speedway Star as an individual event. It was run over qualifying heats with semi-finals and a final (won by Eric Williams), so this meeting will probably be deleted in the near future, unless further information is found. Brian Collins 08.02.12 |

| * Denmark (Kinnerup & Larsen) beat Sweden (Eriksson & Gustavsson) in a run-off | ||||||||
| This
match was very strange as all the Dutch riders raced each other in Ht.1,
all the Austrians did the same in ht. 2, etc. So after heat 4, each team had 6 points, not having beaten any opposing riders! |
