Interesting…. this is what happened to me. I went to the sprint on Friday afternoon and my bag was checked thoroughly and a tag put on. I came out done my thing then went back for the event on Friday and the bag wasn’t checked at all. Saturday my bag was checked not very well, but it was checked. Security is just not there.

Not saying this is how it is in zmarzlik’s camp but at the first GP he has 15 threats to his crown by the 3rd GP he is down to 8 and after last night he down to 3, after Gorzow it could be down to just Kurtz, so mentally is this how he plans his strategy? By eliminating the threats, less to worry about more freedom in his racing, every GP just needs to finish ahead of Kurtz and unless Kurtz starts beating him then it’s just another no pressure meeting because although he always looks serious he never looks under pressure and why would he because if say vaculik or bewley wins a GP so what it ain’t going to cause a ripple on his quest to glory, I say this because any rider will tell you, if you are thinking about others you will not ride to your full potential and I believe this is why laguta beat him because he couldn’t eliminate laguta as a threat

I get where you're coming from. However, BZ only scored 2 more than Dan did last night, in the Warsaw GP.

That goes back to mentality

When you are serious about being world champion there is no having meetings like bewley last night, track conditions are irrelevant

Start times 1pm and 3.30pm both UK times

As already mentioned elsewhere, Pirates have a couple of potential fitness issues, with the two strongest riders Lawson & Rowe. Richard - wrist, Anders - groin. If the team are all fit it should be a win sufficient to add the bonus point.

It was always going to be difficult for Bewley after the highs of Friday night, sub consciously you must have been thinking job done and to then have to do it again the very next night, mentally he's just not at that level (yet). Also the track was very different from Friday to Saturday, was very slick on Saturday. You could tell before the first heat with a lot of dirt already up against the fence kick boards on the both bends

Thats obvious regarding the money.

I've been chatting to my ai friend again this morning: Approximate Current Standings Based ONLY on Qualifying Heat Points (after 5 rounds): (Note: There may be slight variations due to conflicting numbers in source results for individual heat points, but this provides a very close approximation) * Bartosz Zmarzlik: 13 + 9 + 12 + 12 + 13 = \textbf{59 points} * Brady Kurtz: 13 + 13 + 7 + 12 + 11 = \textbf{56 points} * Jack Holder: 8 + 14 + 9 + 11 + 9 = \textbf{51 points} * Fredrik Lindgren: 8 + 10 + 11 + 8 + 10 = \textbf{47 points} * Max Fricke: 8 + 9 + 6 + 12 + 9 = \textbf{44 points} * Andzejs Lebedevs: 10 + 11 + 10 + 1 + 6 = \textbf{38 points} * Dan Bewley: 9 + 4 + 10 + 11 + 6 = \textbf{40 points} (Updated for better accuracy) * Mikkel Michelsen: 4 + 8 + 6 + 8 + 9 = \textbf{35 points} * Robert Lambert: 8 + 9 + 5 + 7 + 6 = \textbf{35 points} * Martin Vaculik: 7 + 4 + 10 + 10 + 7 = \textbf{38 points} (Updated for better accuracy) * Anders Thomsen: 9 + 7 + 9 + 3 + 6 = \textbf{34 points} * Dominik Kubera: 8 + 6 + 3 + 5 + 6 = \textbf{28 points} * Kai Huckenbeck: 2 + 1 + 6 + 5 + 11 = \textbf{25 points} * Jan Kvech: 6 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 5 = \textbf{27 points} * Jason Doyle: 4 + 5 + N/A + 4 + 3 = \textbf{16 points} (Note: Doyle may have missed a round or had very low heat scores in one, contributing to a lower total) Key Takeaways: * Zmarzlik still leads, showing his consistency in heat racing. * Kurtz is very close behind, also demonstrating strong heat form. * The standings are much tighter under this "heat points only" system compared to the official SGP points, which award significant bonus points for making and winning semi-finals and finals. * Riders who consistently win heats but sometimes miss the final (e.g., Lebedevs) might be higher here than in the official standings. * Riders who may have a few lower heat scores but then pull off big wins in the final (like Bewley in Cardiff, though that was a 2024 example, it illustrates the point) would be relatively lower in this system. This calculation gives you a good sense of who is consistently performing well throughout the main body of each Grand Prix event.

What happened to bewley last night, he looked like he had just switched off, didnt even seem to want to get involved racing for points, completely different rider from Friday night, lambert rode like a desperate amatuer all weekend and dropped more points than he earned because of it, fricke rode well but whoever is advising him on his gate picks needs eliminating from his team, lindgren I think has resigned to the fact that he is the new Lee adams, best rider never to be world champion, holder despite looking fast at times never really looked like a threat, Kurtz is there at top of his game and his time will come I’m sure just not yet and zmarzlik won the meeting in his last qualifying race when knew he didn’t need to get points so used race to try a set up out for the outside gates and had no hesitation picking gate 4 in final and the rest of the field with no disrespect just seem to be making up the numbers, all capable of putting in a couple of good rides but were never going to be in the mix at the end

On a different matter did anyone else have problems with the locals.we paid to park on someone’s driveway through an app my son had on the new housing where the old track was and on leaving they blocked the road with barriers and wouldn’t let us through I started moving them and was faced with a very angry woman telling me I should not have parked on the estate and people were blocking driveways etc then her boyfriend/husband came out and started and it was getting very unpleasant then just in time(for a change) the police arrived and diffusion the situation and we got through so I advise not to park there next year

Yes because Zamarzlik is gate and go, he never passes anyone 🤣

imo BZ is a better rider than in 2021 can the same be said for Laguta !

Sounds like good accounting if you know what I mean 😉

Bartosz is quite often not first out the gate; many riders outgate him. But, just in case you hadn't noticed, he has a knack of coming from behind!

How would you know? You love to make sweeping statements without any evidence. Absolutely nobody knows if they would make any difference or not. League form is no marker when it comes to GPs - as 2021 proved.

Id imagine the money is different . The cynic in me thinks it might end up the same as Tobi did. I know Tobi always said he wanted to come back, and that wasn't the case, but if Bens Polish team flex their muscles, it might end going the same way.

Laguta would be top 6 at best, same as sayfutinow but they should still be there

5999 ?? That’s got to be made up- If they had said 6000 everyone would have said they were rounding up lol

To beat Bartosz, you need to be a sharp gater. Artem Laguta is the only man capable of doing it.

In the grand scheme of things, for our premier event that embarrassing, Bydgoszcz will get more than that in their 2nd division match against tarnow this afternoon
