Robert Lambert has been an eye opener of this year's Polish Ekstraliga, and thanks to the new regulations for 2021 he is in a privileged position when it comes to negotiating his terms with EkstraLiga clubs. Polish daily sports newspaper “Przeglad Sportowy”, in its website version, claims that the Brit recently received offers from seven EkstraLiga clubs and one from Toruń, who are confidently moving towards ExtraLiga promotion. The story goes that he expects PLN 800,000 (£160K) for a signature from several clubs and PLN 7,000 (£1.4K) for each point scored, which, with a similar form to this year's, would give him a chance to earn PLN 1.8 million (£360K) in PGE Ekstraliga. Toruń who are most likely to be promoted to the ExtraLeague are the closest to sign him. They are offering him not only a lot of money, but also an almost confident ride in at least five races in each match. For Lambert, this city may seem extremely attractive also for personal reasons, because his life partner comes from Toruń. It is still unknown whether Torun will decide to abandon their plan for Jason Doyle’s return to the club. Earlier, they had already agreed the terms of the contract with the Holder brothers and they have a big dilemma as to which of the two Jason Doyle, or Chris Holder to choose from. Positions for domestic riders still remains a mystery. At the moment, Paweł Przedpełski and Przemysław Pawlicki have the best chances of appearing for Torun, but it is possible that the Russian Wiktor Kulakow will also remain in the club. In the latter case, however, it will necessary for him to obtain documents entitling him to start as a Pole. With a few unknowns in the line-up, the Toruń club would like to persuade Frederik Jakobsen to ride for their club. If everything went according to plan, he would act as a backup rider and replace the Pole if necessary. However, if Lambert had withdrawn from the original contract, it would have been the Dane who would start as an U-24 rider. Lambert's turnaround cannot be ruled out, as several clubs may return to negotiations with him when they see that all their plans have not worked out so far. Then they will be determined and can offer him money that he could only dream about in Toruń. However, it is not only big money that may tempt him to change his mind, but also the prospect of riding in a slightly better team capable of riding extra matches in the 2021 play-offs. Looking at Toruń's plans, their team on paper would appear weaker than Wroclaw, Leszno or Gorzow.

Do they ?...Jack Holder is Torun's top man, Chris comes third

Of course I will disagree...and what's more...I am asking you a question...who and what stops other riders (Tai among them) to have faster bikes that BZ. In the past Polish riders had no access to up to date speedway technical facilities and yet people like Plech, Jancarz, to name only these two, managed to mix with the best in the world. Now times have changed and all top riders have the same possibilities/opportunities to have what they need to win. If you want equal chances for all, let use for GP racing bikes provided by FIM, direct from a factory (untouched by tuners).

I totally agree with you...the starting procedures and the referee interpretations are just a joke...killing my enjoyment of speedway.

Polish tracks ? ... they are Polish only by name and in reality the same for any rider, especially for Tai You're entitled to your own opinion, in the same way as I am to mine.

I strongly disagree with your note that "this year that it is heavily weighted towards Polish riders" Anybody who is somebody in world speedway rides day in and day out in the Polish League. Tai Woffinden has been Wroclaw riders for years more than I can remember. So is the case with any foreign riders. How therefore you, or anybody else, can claim that this year is heavily weighted toward Polish riders.

Disappointing final ?...not for me!!!

Bydgoszcz owner and chairman, Jerzy Kanclerz, confirmed hearing the story circulating at Gorzow GP, but denied receiving any official enquiry so far.

According to Polish media BSI men have been checking today Poznan facilities

We are all wiser...after the event

Jabłoński analysis repeats. Tomasz Dryla is the first commentator... and he is sober

Stop talking, if you please, about two obligatory Polish juniors in every ExtraLiga team as "reserve"...they are NOT. Reserve rider in each Polish team is marked by no. 8 and 16

Poland 46 Denmark 42 Great Britain 32 Latvia 6

This shows that CMA does not always mirror rider' s quality.

and you have proved that your opinion is worthless

I hope Mr. Shovlar is reading your post

It appears that his CMA is not good enough to qualify him for this event Mind you, years ago British League Championship had better line up than the world final. Now this is happening with the Polish Extra Liga.

Hear ! hear...! well said uk_martin... I like it, I like it...

...and who is "VERONI" ?...are you referring to WORYNA, if so then his name needs to be pronounced something like VO-REE-NAH :-) anyway, as someone have already explained, Woryna - in the eyes of Wroclaw's fans - did not pay respect to their club's body colours back in 2017

Speak for yourself... I was born, raised and been living in Bydgoszcz (not the UK) , supporting my local team "Polonia" since the time of Mieczyslaw "Mike" Polukard, hence my avatar.

You state that speedway in Poland is rich...can you justify what you are saying? Why is it rich? What makes it rich ?

Correct !

Not from the central government, but from self governing provincial government, and most of all by TV money and all kind of sponsors

Because you assume that Polish speedway, like the British, depends on paying public.
