Floodlights going in, reconstruction of the track and stadium improvements. They appear to have made their 1st signing as well- Antonio Lindback has joined from Gniezno. I remember reading some time ago about NIMBYs being against speedway returning to the Poznan track, and having now visited it I can see why… Doesnt even matter if the Bolt driver shafted us, as the ride didnt cost that much. But anyway, we drove almost in circles through quite a large area of houses, which I actually thought were quite nice… Sorry to say but Lindbacks track record is against him, should have spent the dosh on someone else. I liked Poznan, will be going again some day to see the speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way the coach came into the stadium when we went in August was through woods- we never saw a house anywhere near as far as i can remember. the racing at the track was always pretty dire but last season it improved considerably and i now really like the place.

I would like to see Grigory riding again though, even if it is only 2.Liga Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bavarian 769 Posted October 29, 2022 13 hours ago, TTT said: Daugavpils management are Pro-Russian. yes, always been that way, because the majority of the population in the Daugavpils region have Russian roots. No less than a quarter of the Latvian population speek Russian as their first language. Grigory Laguta has his wife and child in Latvia, and I read that by now he even has a Latvian passport himself, along with his Russian passport. He has apparently been offered a job with Lokomotiv Daugavpils to work as a coach for the club's junior riders, but he has declined the offer. Anyway, he will not be able to ride for them in the Polish League, because PZM simply won't allow it. Grigory was quite succesfull in the Russian League this year. He was the team captain of his original home town club Vostok Vladivostok and guided them to the league championship. Further he also became the Russian Individual champion of 2022. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a hell of a rider, can't deny it, I would like to see him back one day riding again in Poland. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is one of the All-Time Greats and it is such a shame that he was never given a full run in the SGP series. All he had was a couple of wild card appearances in the Latvian GPs at Daugavpils.
