Batchelor is another one that was ok in Div2 but struggling against top guys.He seems to upset them though for whatever reason.

Madsen has to be one of the most improved riders in the World over the last couple of seasons.Like you say he has some superb passes coming out the turns.He won’t be far away GP wise on what we are seeing.

Madsen certainly does not flatter to deceive,I like Emil but he certainly has not fulfilled his potential yet more than the riders you mention. Talk sense.

Don’t understand the criticism of Polish Speedway action,it no different to any other Country or Tracks.Good meetings ,Poor Meetings.Polish fans turn up in large numbers to watch(in normal circumstances).I personally enjoy Polish action.When you have got the Top Men in the Sport racing each other it’s pretty obvious that Overtaking will be difficult ,but there is no lack of effort from any of the Riders.

Fricke damaged Kolodiez bike who was unable to continue that why the race was stopped and Fricke Disqualified. Right decision IMO.

They might ban spectators if there was a spike in infections ,doubt that they would close the sport down .IMO There would be the same issues over here no doubt,when you see the number of people ignoring the lock down at public gatherings.

That was a decent meeting .IMO .Some close tussles for the points.

Even on a level start they are getting to the 1st bend in front.!

Bewlay is not going to last long unless he improves his gating.

Fricke has had a slow start to his year.

Madsen looks sharp and fast, his inside passes are sublime IMO.

I’d be pi##ed off if KK was in my Team.

Rider replacement

Castagna said the U/21 commission confirms the field( whoever they are)and they also removed some of the weaker riders replacing them with riders from other Nations.”we also removed the weaker riders “suggests Castagna had a say .We shall see!!

What I am saying is he will probably get a wild card.Poland won’t put him forward ,it would cause to much trouble.

He will have certainly seen Chuganov,and it an easy decision IMO.Unless he want an Italian to win it

If you read Castanga in the SS he’s says he will select from Nations,but will also make changes to ensure it’s the best riders are there.Surely Chuganov would be one of the wild cards.

Without Gleg Ghuganov,yet he says he’s picking some wild cards to make it a competitive meeting

Mobdro ,I got Premier Sport coverage.Little ropey at times though.

Speedway Tracks.?

All very quiet,he was obviously “not fit” last week and undergoing intensive training for this week.

Agree ,that’s no contest IMO.

The Poles are better the the Danes at 7/8 teams at any track IMO.The Russians are Speedway of Nation Champs but they certainly are not Clearly better than the Rest.GB and Poles are up there with them.

Fair enough, but the Stats show different over the last few seasons if you go by results.If the Gp qualifiers didn’t have limits on Nations entries I think it would show how many are better than the young riders from some of the other Nations than You think IMO .Ekstraliga is very strong and the majority of the Young Poles are on the Pace.

Some of your journeymen are not even mid twenties, and reserves are all U/21.Would like to see your definition of deadwood in GB speedway, must be about 70% or more IMO.
