"What I'm really hoping for now is the Lucky Loser to win their semi-final and in the final met the team who beat them in the quarter finals. Then the Lucky Loser beats the team who had earlier knocked them out of the playoffs." Trouble is that`s not true- they were not " knocked out " they just lost in the 1st phase - I repeat every race point, every match point counts in the play-offs.

We move on to round 7 In Wroclaw on Saturday August 27th start time 6pm UK time. I will be there so chasing entries and updating leaderboard won`t happen as normal- i will be to busy consuming Tyskie Zmarzlik 16 - 18 Madsen 13 - 15 Bewley 13 - 15 Janowski 12 - 14 Dudek 10 - 12 Lindgren 10 - 12 Woffinden 10 - 12 Doyle 7 - 9 Michelsen 7 - 9 Holder 6 - 8 Vaculik 6 - 8 Fricke 6 - 8 lambert 5 - 7 Przedpelski 3 - 5 Chugunov 3 - 5 Lebedevs 3 - 5

Let me put you out of your misery- no the FIM get another pick.

Now confirmed final is live on Friday August 26th at 3pm UK time on Discovery + and Eurosport player. Hopefully line-ups for Thursday’s 2 semi’s announced tomorrow.

Can GB get on the rostrum ? Lebedevs obviously won’t be there. Czech’s just favourites possibly.

I know you don’t like it but they have done it so every win, draw point matters- what’s wrong with that ?

Some uncertainty about the play-offs dates- these are the correct dates. Quarter finals: 30th August/6th SeptemberSemi finals: 13th/20th SeptemberFinal: 27th/28th September In addition to what Lorenzo 558 clarified about the QF picks, we also know that the top team after the regular season picks the QF winner of their choice. Just a reminder that Dackarna need to win by more than 2 points tomorrow- to qualify for the play-offs.If they win 46-44 then the run-off for the bounus will decide which team qualifies. Any other result and it’s Piraterna in the play-offs.

Now Edited for TV

Vaculik rides on Saturday so it`s Lebedevs who replaces Thomsen.

Of course they will go through as they have a match point and team A haven`t- i have constantly said it`s first match points and then race points

Why didn`t you tell him the answer as i did tell you it

I would but people know i sometimes have a short fuse go back and start from page 55 and come forwards and you will find it there in great depth(more than once).

Play- off Semi’s 1st legs Friday August 26th Zielona Gora v Bydgoszcz start time 4pm UK time Canal + Sport 5 Friday August 26th Lodz v Krosno start time 6.30pm UK time Canal + Sport 5

New date Sunday August 28th start time 4pm UK time NON TV

Live on Polish TV Motowizja - programme starts 1pm UK time. 1st race 1.15pm

As it’s called the challenge then i think Glasgow is fine- I certainly are happier with it there than at places like Zarnovica, Gorican or Krsko.(Daugavpils would be good if prepared right).

In your mind- why have you just popped up yesterday to comment on 1 not so great match- which i’m sure was affected by the covers being on for several days. Where have you been to comment on the tremendous action we have had recently- not only Extraleague but E Winner and Div 2 ?
