racers and royals

New dates for the postponed Pila v Gniezno semi last Sunday are 1st leg Sunday 31st August Pila v Gniezno 2nd leg Sunday 7th September Gniezno v Pila

In a surprise move the Poles have done a deal with WBD that this final GP of the season will be shown live on TVP Sport. Previously non-Polish staged GP’s have only been available to watch on Max/ Eurosport player. WBD could easily have shown it on Polish Eurosport so i suspect that it’s all about money- they were made an offer they couldn’t refuse !!

Ok thanks

Vastervik i think have 1st choice and will surely pick Indianerna.

All bar Lebedevs can take a ride ( i think)

How many more times am i going to write this. If any of the 4 qualifiers from the Challenge final qualify by finishing in the GP top 7 then the next in line will qualify for the GP series. If the winner of the SEC comp has qualified for 2026 by finishing in the GP top 7 or the top 4 in the Challenge then the FIM/WBD get an extra pick( 4 not 3)

And at 4 replacing Riss is Kruit And at 8 replacing Spiller is Mulford

Thanks- all of the away teams in the 2nd legs will lose and the lucky loser will be the team that keeps it closest.

With the 1st legs done and dusted this is my idea of how the 6 teams table looks Lejonen + 8 Vastervik + 2 Smederna + 2 Dackarna -2 Indianerna -2 Rospiggarna -8
