Yeah, I'd forgotten about Rybnik's slow start to the season.

Again not able to watch any. Lublin (& Lambert) did reasonably well to stay within 8 points looking at the result. Do think Gorzow are weak compared to recent years, Zmarzlik aside. As far as Miedziński goes, never been a fan but there are basically 16 Ekstraliga spots for Poles over 21, are there 16 better Polish riders aged over 21? Make it 17 has Leszno have 3 good senior Poles. Maybe. But the likes of Woryna & Musielak have decided to ride in Nice Div 1 for whatever reason. I think, Woryna hasn't ridden yet, injured? Probably shows up more as Chestochowa probably have the best non Polish trio.

Grigory Laguta has to wait until the May league transfer window to be able to join Lublin.

The leathers changed by 1991 (at least), to white with a yellow stripe.

I assume Lindback, Bjerre, Buczkowski & Pawlicki get an extra ride each as Laguta had the highest average in 2018, or are Ekstraliga R/R rules different. Any idea who is likely to feature as #8 for either team?

Is it confirmed Artem Laguta is going to be fit? Interesting swap of riding positions for Zagar & Lindgren, wonder why.

The rider on the DVD sleeve in the turquoise leathers, is it Jan O Pedersen from 1987-88?

I see. That really is a silly rule!

Looks like Robert Lambert has been dropped for Lublin's visit to Gorzow on Friday, replaced by Kacper Gosik?

Didn't watch any this weekend too busy, but well done to Lublin, great comeback considering the loss of AJ. Be interesting to see what they do when Laguta is available, guessing Lambert will drop to the silly #8 position. Surprised Gorzów kept so close in Częstochowa, thought Zmarzlik would be a one man team away from Edward Jancarz Stadium this season.

Lindback must be confident of getting in the top 8.

If I were a Panthers fan I'd be gutted, promised Harris & Cook, end up with Tungate & Summers. Thought you'd win tonight, but Belle Vue heatlaeders & reserves proved too strong. Maybe a blessing long term, can't carry on with that septet.

That is a soul crushing result for FZG.

I don't think King, Pieszczek, Bellego are weak compared to other teams engine room. Top 2 - strongest Swindon, weakest Ipswich. Engine room - strongest Wolverhampton, weakest Kings Lynn. Reserves - strongest Ipswich, weakest Swindon.
