Less so with Slovenia, but with Australia, there is no shortage of riders who could have ridden in the Challenge. I don't have anything against either rider, but I am hoping that neither finish in the top three of the Challenge, as they still have the chance to earn their place on track in the GP's. think it was either the Polish Final or the Golden helmet 2019 that decided this years gp qualifiers, euro seeds etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, I believe the Polish Federation honoured their promise to give him the place, on the basis of winning the Polish Golden Helmet last year. Well Polish speedway isn't just about which riders is the most suitable due to merit but there is also allot of politics involved. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sensed from the person who told me that as Eleven Sport are showing in Poland- it will be live streamed so that the rest can watch it. Bit like onesport did with the World U 21 championship when Eleven showed the rounds in Poland and we had the meetings streamed via you tube. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
