Obviously they can't as Woryna and Szczepaniak are going to have to race in the top 5. I've been keeping tracks of all the teams via this blog I made up: https://speedwayteams2020.blogspot.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col probably knows the answer that it`s a squad and they will use who is in form/horses for courses policy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's called Continental Speedway and all are welcome to join. It has mostly Polish stuff, particularly livestreams of all televised matches - not the same type of links as provided on here, along with YouTube videos afterwards. Please note I'm not trying to pinch anyone from here, merely to provide an additional method for folk to follow leagues across Europe. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While we have doubling up and riders are able to get two teams here and make a comfortable living there`s little chance or willing IMO to get out to Poland or Sweden.

Why make a comfortable living when you could make a better living and become a better rider. Too many brits imo not willing to push themselves to that next level or trying hard enough to do so.

Don't forget Sergei Logachev who did a great job for them this year despite his horrible crash in the middle of the season. I'm sure he'll be hoping to be involved in the team, and I'm fairly sure he's too old for the number 8 berth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did wonder if Batchelor & Hancock were planning to ride on Polish licences. Neither have SoN on their agenda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yesterday Pila withdrew from Div 2 which leaves 6 teams only in the division(5 from Poland) Would it make sence to merge Div 1 and 2 as riders would get a lot more fixtures. It would only be 10 more matches to fit into the normal League 1 fixture list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
