racers and royals

Canada and the UK united-not only with William and Kate

Looks as if the Polish team have a practice session at Gorzow tommorrow-Friday starting at 3pm (uk time) and its scheduled to be live on the internet. http://www.soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport

With 12 of the 14 normal season rounds gone and with a 7 day break for the SWC its perhaps a good opportunity to have a look at the play-off situation.Current table 1 Zielona Gora p 12 pts 23 +107 2 Torun p 12 pts 23 +63 3 Gorzow p 12 pts 19 +48 4 Leszno P 12 pts 17 +23 5 Rzeszow p 12 pts 12 -31 6 Wroclaw p 12 pts 8 -54 7 Czestochowa p 11 pts 6 -64 8 Tarnow p 11 pts 5 -92 Last two rounds are on 17/7 and 24/7 the only real doubt left is who will fill the 6th and last qualifying place,However finishing positions are all important to decide who they meet in the play-offs and one fixture really stands out-last week of the season Torun v Zielona Gora which will surely decide top spot going into the play-offs. If my memory serves me right(if not i hope our Polish friends will put me right)the play-offs follow this format 7th aug/14th aug 6 v 1 1 v 6 5 v 2 2 v 5 4 v 3 3 v 4 then a new table is created with the 3 winners and the best loser-then 21st aug/11th sept best loser v 1 1 v best loser 3 v 2 2 v 3 then the two winners meet in the grand final on 18th and 25 th sept So who will win-my pick the mighty Torun and yours ?

The translation via google isn`t great but Gorzow boss Allegerly thinks result was fixed-why ? i havn`t a clue

Great result for Rzeszow tonight drawing at Zielona Gora 45-45. Greg Hancock scoring 6 only for the home team. the other match Tarnow v Czestochowa was rained off again.

2 other GP stadiums have roofs-Copenhagen`s Parken stadium is very similar to Cardiff,and Torun have a new roof covering the track.

5 rides away from the GP

Give the Polish youngsters a bit of daylight and they can half shift

Harris doing nothing again for Rzeszow at Torun

3rd-paid 2nd in his 1st ride

Did you have to post that

Polish bookmakers think Leszno will win by 2 pts

Nice evening in Leszno

Programme just started

Just back from watching the mighty Berkshire beat Cumberland at cricket to reach the Lords final and find i`ve missed nothing.Lets hope Leszno can make the track raceable

Sorry my error Bjarne Pedersen of course

pedersen .Kylmakorpi.walasek.protasiewicz.jesper b monberg qualify from lonigo

Kylmakorpi needs a 2nd in heat 20 to qualify

Couldn`t quite work out how the play-off worked

King`s out in Lonigo-not a great day for the brits

It has happened before-they have a set formula-at least 3 races if my memory serves me right Edit sportowefakty are saying 4 races Doesn`t come into it

Zagar needs to win heat 20 to get in run-off Iversen out as well- If he does its the nightmare 5 riders for 4 places

Ward has failed to qualify for the final
