Pirate Nick 1,801 Posted May 9, 2014 And also Polish riders have a mare around the Raceway.You're forgetting that the Pawlickis aren't your average Poles in that they started riding on a short technical track that their dad built near their house. I don't think Lakeside will faze them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marko 955 Posted May 9, 2014 I dont see the problem here, Mikkel has been riding well and scoring a lot of points but from mostly the second string position which is why his average has climbed so dramatically, last time Scotty rode for us as a guest he was not riding well and confidence low, not exactly the case right now. I personally have every faith in him that he will score more than enough points tonight to justify his inclusion. People will moan about losing such a key rider but thats the price you pay for having a rider like that in your team, if you want the star riders and especially the younger ones this is what happens, they have a lot of commitments. I wonder if the same people that will moan about Bech being absent are the same that constantly shout for the likes of young Patricyk Dudek to be signed? We all saw this coming though, the new team building rules were always going to be heavily dependant on guests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted May 9, 2014 When have you seen a visiting Polish rider do well at the Raceway. I dont watch racing at Lakeside but there are plenty of Poles that ride there well. Swiderski, Ulamek, KK, Skornicki usually goes well there (11 last season), Its easy to back up a statement if you do your homework on it first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted May 9, 2014 The majority don't though. Name me the riders who haven't done well there and there scores then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mjolnir 184 Posted May 9, 2014 A lot of Poles (but not all) do struggle at Lakeside but I think Piotr will probably do quite well tonight. Scott might not score quite as many points as Bech but I think he should be near enough - he's been on good form so far this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted May 9, 2014 Can only see a comfortable home win. 52-40 type score Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Buczkowski, Gafurov, Janowski, Kosciuch, Miskowiak, Mroczka, Mateusz Szczepaniak, Michal Szczepaniak, Zengota and many more. Note you failed to add in scores as proof. Mroczka had 2 wins in 2012 Gafurov is Russian. Edited May 9, 2014 by stevebrum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nellie 144 Posted May 9, 2014 Renat Gafurov might be a bit surprised to learn that he's Polish. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted May 9, 2014 Have a look at the scores for yourself and yh 2 wins in 2012 but riding at No.5 why don't you have a look at the other scores what Mroczka has got around the Raceway? Oh haha he is Russian my mistake. I have looked at the scores which is my whole point. Your stated that most Poles cant get round there which is wrong.

Bryn 413 Posted May 9, 2014 3.10PM WEATHER CHECK: Had no rain here today just across the Dartford Crossing since I arose from my pit this morning. None really anticipated either although it's a blustery sort of day so don't think you'll be okay standing watching in shirt sleeves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted May 9, 2014 They can't 10 Poles rode in the EL last season. 4/10 have no issues with Lakeside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryn 413 Posted May 9, 2014 5.15pm WEATHER UPDATE: No real change here at the track with clear blue sky interspersed with occasional white fluffy clouds. Still looks as it might be somewhat windy so I don't expect you'll need much suncream if any! 8-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
