While the top Ekstraliga mainly races on Fridays and Sundays Leagues 1 and 2 use any of Friday to Sunday. Friday is probably the least used of the three for his team Lodz. Other matters are more likely to get in the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaizer 2,862 Posted October 24, 2021 Can't help thinking should've just held 1st leg today looking at the sun out my window n just had heeps at reserve for Marcin. Don't see any breaks in the weather after today for it to be held 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Endeavour 681 Posted October 24, 2021 As a neutral observer I feel reserves may hold the key to the play offs. Basso is some rider to have at reserve. Novak and his clashes are going to be interesting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That should be ideal, but always remember the first ever one Eastbourne vs Wolves, we were by far the best all season, qualified for the final and didn't ride for at least 2 weeks, Wolves came in race ready, we were slightly rusty and didn't quite fire like we did all season and lost it.

Currently Not enough to stop a meeting. Forecast for Poole looks okay for Wednesday... but not currently okay for Friday. It would make a great deal of sense to switch over the two meetings at Poole, as the second leg of the cup is a "dead rubber" (Pirates can't lose from a 5-point advantage, given Edinburgh are a poor away team) and if that got rained off on Friday, it wouldn't be as potentially problematic, given the poor weather scheduled also for next Saturday and Sunday. Get the play-off final in Wednesday while it's possible. Edited October 24, 2021 by lucifer sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
