racers and royals

Thought i would try and follow the close season signings for the extraleague 2013 season-however will certainly not be as comprehensive as Ghostwalkers excellent Swedish thread. things are pretty quiet as far as team building in poland as teams are waiting for confirmation of the points limit and rules for next season. Any postings from anyone with news(especially from our Polish speaking forum friends)will be most welcome.

Hi Ghostwalker just one small query-on the first page you mention squad size for the Elite league as 7 yet some teams have named 8 plus guest riders.?

6 poles withdrew

If they keep the same race format the start positions are pre-decided.

Selections put into sealed envelope hopefully

Times 10 secs slower than the last NL meeting at Lynn-track conditions must be terrible

The reason for the change being ? wasn`t this season`s title chase close enough !

Sportowefakty are suggesting that there is going to be a change in the way the scoring is done for the 2013 series-possibly for the final.It seems this has been agreed with the FIM and confirmation to be announced shortly.

This competition has had 2 wild cards each round-14 qualified for the final rounds.

Just as there was nothing wrong with Sam Masters when he couldn`t be bothered to go to the Tarnow round. Start time for the last 2 rounds in Argentina is 21.00 local time-the UK is 4 hours ahead of Argentina so meetings will start at 1am here the following day ! !

Anyone who missed this afternoon`s 3rd place 2nd leg match Zielona Gora v Torun can watch it here http://sport.tvp.pl/zuzel/enea-ekstraliga/wideo/stelmet-falubaz-zielona-gora-unibax-torun-mecz-o-3-miejsce/8870797

This isn`t meant to be a funny(or stupid) question but could Thomas Armstrong be a sponsor in 2013 ?

Born June 1995 whenever i`ve seen him ride i`ve been impressed-could go far.

Cracking end to the meeting-sadly that`s it for Poland until April 2013

Persumably it is a run-off if 5-1 in the last to ZG ?

yes -both

If i was a Polish team manager it would be Holder and Sullivan in 14 and 15

Sullivan stuffs team-mate shock Horror

Best race of the afternoon

Yes he was beaten by a better rider

Doesn`t appear to be a sopcast link today so i will be watching on http://pl-sport.tv/stream-2.htm

One of the crucial aspects of GP attendances is the price of tickets-it has become an expensive night for anything other than the cheapest tickets.For instance Copenhagen has always been expensive for us brits and for 2013 top priced seats are approx £100(early bird) the exchange rate must have improved because in previous years they were more like £120.

Copenhagen-a bit expensive-compared to what- Venice us Brit`s can only afford 1 night there or we would have to take out a mortgage.

Stockholm over Malilla might reverse the trend.
