Losthammer 21 Posted April 14, 2018 Has to go down as the most bizarre cause of a stoppage in history. Looks like Pawel will have trouble sitting down for the next few days LOL. Really not liking this new Polish rule where a non Pole can be named. Too much chopping and changing, plus riders under even more pressure to perform.

Bradford Ace 183 Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Just caught up with the last few heats of this on YouTube after going out earlier. Gotta be said the Polish league do most things better than the UK but which imbecile came up with the rule about not being able to award a race? Wroclaw were robbed of a draw there. Woffy and Drabik a mile in front of Doyle entering bend 3 on the last lap and cos the Torun junior had fallen it got re-run!!! Pathetic decision and a 5-1 turned into a 3-3 and they were robbed of a draw. Surely now if you’re last and out of contention you just need to drop it to get a re-run for your team?? Scandalous Edited April 14, 2018 by Bradford Ace 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you choose to watch Polish speedway you need to know the Polish rules to understand it. Isn't that simple ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scandalous It did seem harsh that a clear 5-1 turned into a 3-3 due to a Torun rider falling on his own, but I'm not convinced they were robbed of a draw. If they had got the 5-1 in that race then Woffinden wouldn't have been eligible as a tac sub in heat 14, so it would have been Drabik, Milik or Lebedev partnering Fricke in that one and I'm not convinced that any of them would have been capable of winning that race.

eric i 604 Posted April 15, 2018 What are the rules regarding the number 8 rider, can they replace any rider at any point in the meeting? Do the reserves have to take 3 rides? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiseguy 214 Posted April 15, 2018 They can award races can't they? There was a race awarded in the Pila v Gdansk meeting (heat 1) unless it's different in the nice league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stewmac 458 Posted April 15, 2018 Is someone here able to give a clear explanation as to how the new rules with the number 8s works this year? Like Eric I above, there are a few of us who'd like to be clear about this one. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
