Best meeting I think I have seen from Tarnow.

Super heat 5

now watching on http://www.drhtv.com.pl/drhtv3.html

looks like it`s thee and me only tonight

now on http://telewizjesportowe.com.pl/?page_id=9 Difficult match to call-Leszno should be too good for Tarnow although they are good at home. I expect a narrow away win 44-46

watching on http://tvsportowe.com.pl/3-2/

At 5.30pm today-b4 the live speedway is on N sport are showing sunday`s match Grudziadz v Leszno match-hopefully one of the streams will be up early.

Cannot yet find a video of Wednesday`s Rybnik v Ostrow match-it`s only available to Polish internet viewers-hopefully someone will put it up on Youtube. however Rybnik TV have put up a 16 min video up of the day`s event. http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/530679/zks-row-rybnik-mdm-komputery-dreier-zks-ostrovia-od-kuchni-wideo

The equivalent of 2 meetings on the track (practice) 24 hours before hand is hardly going to help the situation.

9 left to fight on(sadly not me !!) don`t forget NO max limit on bets round 2 Saturday 11th July Landshut 6pm uk time Sayfutdinov 11 - 13 Pedersen 11 - 13 Kildemand 10 - 12 G Laguta 9 - 11 Vaculik 9 - 11 lindback 8 - 10 A Laguta 7 - 9 Kolodziej 7 - 9 Prem Pawlicki 7 - 9 Protasiewcz 6 - 8 Gollob 6 - 8 Milik 6 - 8 Smolinski 5 - 7 Andersen 3 - 5 Jedrzejak 3 - 5 Hartel 2 - 4

Last year it didn`t even have permanent floodlights- looking at the photo`s which were published of the work creating the track it just seemed to be one last minute rush !!

I`m not- the FIM certainly have responsibilities -however I`m not sure the FIM have a responsibility to the punters who buy the tickets-in that regard in my opinion that starts(and stops) with BSI. This weekend`s meeting would be a perfect opportunity for BSI to make a decision whether Riga is capable of holding a GP in 2016 by being there -even if someone is sat in the stands along with the paying public.

The trouble is one can not really separate BSI`s involvement in certain tracks only from the whole series -BSI are the rights holders-they sell the TV contracts for the series. it`s them sub-contracting meetings out and then bearing no responsibility if things go wrong. Punters were seriously out of pocket because of last years fiasco.

Slighly different in Cardiff this week though Philip- BSI are obviously interested in that track !!! (FIM said nothing to do with us guv !!!).

How can you go and watch your deadliest enemy is beyond me Pawel

However Humph, after last years debacle with many fans dissatisfied with the sudden move to Daugavpils strange that someone from BSI isn`t going to take a look first-hand at the 1st meaningful meeting at the track since, especially if in 2016 the Latvian round is back in Riga-after all out Saturday-back Sunday would hardly break the bank !!!!

Team news for tomorrow`s match Tarnow v Leszno http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/wydarzenie/34845 TV comes on air at 6pm uk time with 1st race 6.30pm uk time

Philip, slightly changing the subject-is anyone from BSI in Riga this weekend checking out the Challenge semi ?
