rabbit 1 Posted July 8, 2005 Just thinking the same thing Subedei. Think the British authorities could take a leaf out of the Poles book here in dealing with incidents. Impressed with the severity and speed of things - might make a few riders over here think twice about a few things if they were going to get hit like that.

home straight 290 Posted July 8, 2005 Yesterday GKSZ (polish speedway governing body) decided to suspend Robert Kasprzak for 6 months.tom <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They don't mess about do they? It certainly is a deterrant. Will the younger Kasprzak now have to find himself a British league place to make up for the lack of earnings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rabbit 1 Posted July 8, 2005 Robert Kasprzak was one name mentioned when I was told about the Young Guns Individual at Poole on the 3rd Aug. That was a couple of weeks ago and not confirmed but maybe he's looking to the EL at some stage - even earlier now if he's out for a while! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) Robert Kasprzak was one name mentioned when I was told about the Young Guns Individual at Poole on the 3rd Aug. That was a couple of weeks ago and not confirmed but maybe he's looking to the EL at some stage - even earlier now if he's out for a while! He's not actually been in action for Leszno the last couple of rounds in Poland. The regulations in Poland allow teams to name a young rider at No 7, who although programmed for only one ride, is allowed to replace other riders during the racing. Leszno have named K Kasprzak at No 7 for the last couple of rounds and then used him to replace his brother in every heat he's programmed for. So, it shouldn't impact on Leszno that much. They'll name a no-hoper in place of R Kasprzak and then replace him with K Kasprzak who'll still be at No 7. The other notable No 7 in Polish speedway is young Kolodziej at champions Tarnow.

rabbit 1 Posted July 8, 2005 You've just answered a question that had fleetingly whizzed through my mind Subedei. Wondered why he'd been replaced in every one of his heats! Still that's some replacement to have in KK. Would be good to have the rules of Polish speedway explained one day to see how they differ from the British leagues.

Could act as minder for Pedersen , Shields, Barker and Cookie . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still that's some replacement to have in KK. Well, obviously they don't bother with a minimum 3 rides rule. I think the rules are basically the way were in Britain before all this double points nonsense came up. With all the teams racing on the same day, guests would seem out of the question, but rider replacement is allowed for your top 3 guys. If you're 6 points or more behind after Ht 4 you get to use tactical substitutes like in the old days over here. But, if you get excluded for 2 minutes or tapes, it's a 3 man race and you're not in it. No reserve replacement and no 15 metres nonsense. But Rico would know better than I. And Papa Bazarou and HenryW as well. Edited July 8, 2005 by Subedei Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subedei 0 Posted July 10, 2005 And just in case you're wondering, there's no Polish Ekstra Liga action on 10 July, 2005. The fun and games start again, with the penultimate round of the regular season on 17 July, 2005. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leliwa 0 Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) Moving ahead to Sunday Extraliga matches, it appears that Tony will not make it to Wroclaw. Rumor is that Unia Tarnow is about to sigh with Scott Nicholls so he will replace Tony in Wroclaw. Unknown as to what kind of contract it is going to be, could be just for one meeting with options for more. Wroclaw is suppose to ride without Antonio, but it is not confirmed 100% yet. Anyway, it is going to be tough meeting for Unia regardless, our riders seem to have a lot of trouble on Wroclaw track, we will see how they manage on Sunday.
