Would've made a great match for TV? Shame we couldn't see it.

Lindgren & Miedzinski 5-1 in 14 should sort it.

Czestachowa are in a spot of bother here. Unless Lindgren can come to the party they might mess this up. Now 29-31.

Fell off when tailed off and ref stopped race. TBF the lad is not good enough and probably was an honest fall IMO.

Red card for Tuft. Out of the meeting.

That's a good decision.

It's a bad rule if that can't be awarded!!! Tuft shouldn't be on the same track in fairness. Not good enough yet?

Only point he'll get is if there's a fall or exclusion.

I went to their home match against Czestachowa and then then watched on here the Torun match a couple of weeks ago and they were both classics. Inside like most tracks seems to have an early advantage.

It's massive, do you know how many it hold as a capacity?

I was in Katowice at the end of July and personally as a city I didn't think it was nearly as nice as Wroclaw or Warsaw but each to their own. To be honest I thought apart from the very center it was quite run down. However, for a GP it could work very well and the "Mariacka" is a very lively street with loads of outdoor bars etc. I didn't go in the Slaski but very impressive from the outside.

Well, I got that very wrong.

My point is there would be no races called back, unless the tapes were touched. Just watched heat 10 from Sweden which was stopped wrongly for no reason. Meeting delayed and different outcome off the first turn 2nd time around.

Other sports don't have advantageous starting positions that have not been earned either?

365 are giving Smederna only 2 points. Gustafsson must have been showing something to be thrown back in also. Can't see anything but a home win here although NKI could have a very good night and possibly 7 rides which could keep it close.

I agree about transponders, but can it be that easy for all tracks to have this technology? If it can then let's get rid of the tapes as there is no need for them if we can work off lights. As you say none of the sports you mention have tapes, so Speedway could resign them to history. TBH I just get sick of the restarts and letting riders move at the start may in some part equalise the bad gates. A bad draw in some GPs can spell the end of a riders chance and that can't be right either.

Just let the riders move or do what they want. if they touch the tapes, they're out. It's that simple to me. There would hardly be a restart. Can't see what's wrong with this method.

It's on Freesports if you have it?

No. They can put whoever they choose into 14 & 15. Managers choice.

I'd have thought Leszno would win this quite comfortably, but the handicap is only 4? Appreciate Drabik will get extra rides but 4 start seems skinny for Wroclaw?

Has the 2nd division side ever beaten a top division side in one of these play offs? Big difference in the teams.

Correct

I'd have risked it against Zengota and PP

If I was Tarnow team manager i'd be tempted to put Pedersen and Bjerre in Heat 14 to try and settle it?? Depends on who ZG puts in I suppose.

I think it's Leszno v Wroclaw
