  1. Past hour
  2. Fairly obvious Andrzejewski had both wheels over the white line, dunno what's taking so long.
  3. They need some of the excess water from Wroclaw on the Bydgoszcz track.
  4. Blimey! You can't shut him up when he gets going... think i preferred it when all he said was "I'm big happy" 😂
  5. Any update on how Doyle is after being carted off wearing a neck brace in the ambulance
  6. Can’t see Redcar doing that personally, but you never know🤷‍♂️. Did it before a few year back, but it’s not really Redcars style. Anyway Simon has his new race suit so he won’t be going anywhere soon😂. Personally, if the promotion came out & said something along the lines of” sorry we messed up team building this year, the 1 rider over 8 point average messed us up. We tried a different way, it hasn’t worked so stick by us and we will sort it for next year”. Something like that would hopefully calm the fans and let the riders relax a bit. It’s not as though it’s the first time we’ve challenged for the wooden spoon is it 🤷‍♂️
  7. Here is what sportowefakty.pl had to say after Zmarzlik's yesterday victory: Bartosz Zmarzlik won his 30th Grand Prix round. The Polish rider was thrilled on the podium. “ It was a special moment. The symbolism of the numbers and the fact that my sons were with me at the GP for the first time," said the Polish representative. "Honestly? This is a special moment. The 300th Grand Prix, my 30th victory. The series began in 1995, when I was born and my mentor, Tomasz Gollob , won the first round in Wrocław , and now I'm winning. Nothing but beautiful numbers, and it's the first time both of my sons have competed in a Grand Prix. It's incredible," said Bartosz Zmarzlik after the event. "I'm still a young guy, a husband and a father, and I'm also doing what I love. When I see my sons smiling when I bring home trophies, it's amazing. I've gotten it into my head that I want to show them good races so they'll remember me for that. I have to do this for a few more years to make sure that image sticks in their minds," he continued when asked about his tears on the podium. Before the final, Bartosz Zmarzlik's father came to the pit to advise on equipment settings for the most important race of the evening. "Speedway isn't an easy sport, and the Wrocław GP was a real rollercoaster. You had to make a lot of decisions in a short period of time. My team did a great job, and before the final, my dad, who had been with my sons the entire race, came to us. He advised us on what to change, but I said we'd change everything because I was slow, and I only regained my speed in the final. I'd previously won starts but lost points along the way. I also changed my bike, which had a slower starting torque, but I felt more comfortable on it on the track; it allowed me to ride a wide section of the track. I could have tried to adjust the first bike, but nothing worked there, and I had to make a manly decision,” Zmarzlik said. The final itself was a lottery, and the critical moment came when Brady Kurtz and Bartosz Zmarzlik collided. “ I was glad I wasn't the first one to choose the field. In the final, Brady Kurtz and I collided. I was scared because I'd been in similar situations before, and my chain often fell off," commented Zmarzlik. By around 9:30 p.m., the entire pit lane was flooded with water, which was then pumped out. Even before the flooding in the pits was resolved, Phil Morris wanted to give the green light and start the race. All sixteen competitors then confronted him. "We were aiming for that first decision. They told us the light would go green and we'd go, but we didn't have the opportunity to work in the pits. Two bikes were cold, helmets were in a puddle, my bag was leaking, and my goggles were fogged up. I didn't know where anything was, I couldn't find my back protector because everything was flooded. It was total chaos, and we didn't resist riding at all. We just needed a little more time. Fortunately, Phil Morris and I later found common ground. I was convinced the race would go ahead, because Grand Prix races are rarely canceled," commented Zmarzlik. When the race was finally about to get underway, the starting machine and the green light malfunctioned. "I was devastated by the idea of starting with a flag. Mr. Electrician, thank you for fixing everything," concluded the new leader of the Grand Prix series standings. Source: sportowefakty.pl
  8. 100% hes back for the Polish play offs. Won't race uk though
  9. After a weeks break the Pirates return to action taking on the Berwick Bandits in the knockout Cup semi final. The Pirates will be without thier star no1 Richard Lawson who has a Danish league fixture as this meeting was not originally in the calendar. Chris Bomber Harris steps in for Richard. Berwick draft in another Glasgow tiger and ex bandit Leon Fint to cover for Peter Kildemand on Danish league duty. With the weather expected to be in the high 30's all day track prep will be extremely challenging. The Bandits have been on good form especially at home so this will be a tough 2 legged encounter. Thoughts?
  10. Today
  11. Same Olly the wally who chose not to use his reserve in Son 2 in Prague until it was too late.
  12. The club should of shown more faith in a young rider ,One they know what he's capable of and who has just came back from injury. Why should fans be annoyed at Jenkins its not like he deliberately tried not to score points . As for hindsight replacing a rider we brought in on a 6.15 average , who granted was underperforming and replacing with a journeyman rider on a 4.60 average is laughable as your trying to replace a second string with nothing more than an established reserve . The change was pointless ,We should of waited seen if jenkins form picked up or at least waited till someone better was available .
  13. Personally I would make a big call and drop lambert and Allen, bring back Charles and bring a 2.00 with him to keep klindt in the team and actually run with a powerhouse 1&5 we have the points to play with do this
  14. https://vksport.vkvideo.ru/video-53550004_456242704 Zielona Góra v Wrocław https://vksport.vkvideo.ru/video-53550004_456242705 Toruń v Lublin
  15. https://vksport.vkvideo.ru/video-53550004_456242703 - Bydgoszcz v Rybnik
  16. As it was Grand Prix will Jack have to pay some of his signing on fee back in Poland
  17. You always point to the averages, but we all see What MPT can do when he feels like it,if he doesn’t gate he seldom gives his all ,that’s the frustration he is better that your average 6pt rider.
  18. It was a racing incident nothing to do with the track. Any way sad to see another top riders injured, its been one of those seasons. Get will soon..
  19. Top4 from each of the 3 qualifiers and the FIM have 3 wildcards for the 3 finals series.
  20. Would rather King's Lynn look and try to get a foreigner in on a 4.00 at least it shows they are trying something.What have they to lose,Castagna is very poor anyway imo. Agree about the Championship,there doesn't seem to be anyone capable even of filling Castagna's boots. Just another long season by the looks off it.
  21. Well IF the Witches want to ensure a change they should be in a position to know what is required from each rider A big if of course as to whether the will is there but the knowledge required should be a given...
  22. Looks like they've made OstrĂłw v Krosno site donators only.
