provisional must be used because no date given for Australia yet.      it is badly worded but that is my thought.

LAST SGP of the year should always be at Torun ... and certainly not Australia. Any SGP 'Down Under' should be at the start of the campaign, not the end. 

True, it is an uninspiring calendar and symptomatic of the problems facing the FIM and BSI in expanding the series beyond its current boundaries.

Booked my flights and Hotel for Wroclaw so hope the dates are correct or I'll be watching a league meeting. Thought the town and the stadium were excellent when I visited in July. Can't wait.

Pretty much a return to provincial stadiums - really only Cardiff, Warsaw and to some extent Torun with any prestige.

3 GPs in Poland again and still they can't find a World Champion, will one of them do it next year?

Agree 100%. It seems a bit of a kick in the teeth to all who follow the GPs round Europe to potentially be denied the opportunity of seeing the championship decided, unless you have unlimited time and money, nice as an Australian holiday is.

Possibly about 5 European jaunts to be had there, Wroclaw is a very pretty town but apart from that nothing particularly new to be done.

Cannot get too excited about this list.   From Hallstavik to Vojens there are 4 from 5 GPs raced in the middle of a forest nowhere near a decent town nor an airport.   Not exactly fan friendly.

Agree with you Philip.   A shame for 99% of fans who muct be from Europe.   Maybe Woffy will win in Torun anyhow. 

Too many venues in the middle of nowhere making it hard for fans to travel without complication on flights and getting to the track.   A good year lies ahead for the travel companies who provide packages with coach transport.

ON the contrary ... numbers are down because many fans are bored with places like Malilla, Krsko,Teterow and Hallstavik. Prague is very popular by contrast.
