King's Lynn Stars 2025
SuperStarsFan91 replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Seems like to me that he won’t be riding again in the UK this year, every time you asked him about possibly coming back to Lynn in the next few weeks he changed the subject 🤷🏻♂️ as much as he said he wanted to -
Is there anyone who doesn’t admire Zmarzlik?? Maybe like myself, it's more of a frustration with everyone else. As I've said many times, everyone seems too soft on the guy. 9 out 10 times he passes without being challenged. When he misses a gate he'll get up the inside of someone & force his way past. Often squeezing opposition up against the fence. Absolutely nobody ever seems to return the favour on him. Absolutely, 100%, if Zmarzlik was in the era of Crump, Pedersen, Gollob etc they'd make sure he would be chewing on airfence occasionally. He is a gifted lad, but all everyone wants is a challenger &/or a rivalry. May be we force a reduction in the age of rider's in the series, if you're over 35 & not top 6 they can't get a wildcard?? Top 3 of the SGP2 series qualify?? Top 5 U25's from the Polish Ekstraliga automatically qualify for the SGP?? There must be some young, fast, loose cannons out there that can shake up the series?? Absolutely need to shake up the system in some way. We're just getting to much same old, same old qualifying from the GP Challenge, & wildcard picks. Think most fans want to see a complete shake up of the SGP Series in some way, shape or form.

I think this is why I was comparing Zmarlik to JanO... he does have a bit of an advantage as like JanO there's nothing to him size wise, when you see him without all his protective gear he's a very small man, add that to his talent and kit and he seems to be able to make passes that no one else can... like JanO did, shame he got injured when he did as I think he had more in him.

The rules are there for a reason, if riders are allowed to miss matches in GB while riding in Poland without picking up a ban, they'll all start doing it. In this instance Cook may prefer a 28 day ban, allows Lynn a guest, while he can still ride in Poland while he's getting back to 100% fitness, in 28 days he may fancy a return! Not really a punishment for club or rider!

Freddie seems to have hit a vein of consistency in the GPs but unfortunately it’s below zmarzlik’s level of consistency, zmarzlik has put all the pressure on Kurtz, if Kurtz handles that pressure he has a chance but zmarzlik knows one slip up from Kurtz and zmarzlik will sail off in the distance and not just luck that’s planned, he has put Kurtz right where he wants him, will Kurtz buckle ?

This year Cardiff was earmarked a GP like previous years. And for the first time Belle Vue was earmarked. Two completely separate GP's. Then the deal with Cardiff fell through and the powers that be decided they wanted 10 GP's in the year and so it was decided for convenience to tag a second one onto Belle Vue, this ensuring 2 GP's in UK took place as originally scheduled. All done at fairly short notice. Almost certain it won't happen next year..just the one at BV.

Not watched all of tonight’s GP yet but have the agree the standard of TV production does not seem as high as normal especially as they brought their usual OB Provider TVN over from Poland to provide the facilities but may have had to use UK based cameraman and Vision mixer many of which will have not done Speedway before
