Steve55 340 Posted May 20, 2021 The weather forecast is for a 90% or 100% chance of rain from 3pm to 10pm all day, but only 80% for some of the time before that. I think that's a bit more than it MIGHT rain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Polish clubs will want to protect their interests, riding in another league or country increases the riders chances of injury or getting Covid-19 or one of its variants. Along with every country having a variation on rules re Covid. Keep them in Poland within social bubbles means less chance of infection, so their teams stay at full strength.Also If as it seems you have to pay for tests under certain circumstances when you come to the UK, will any rider want the additional hassle and expense of criss crossing Europe 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The band of rain forecast from the South West has been on the radar for the last few days & is due to stay for today & tomorrow so I expect a few more cancelations.
