Why do people think NKI is returning any time soon ? Poland is late August/early September at best- Denmark mid September and Sweden early/mid September.

Marvellous !!! the mixed team have pulled out - just 6 in it now

Holsted might now be down to 3 riders as Gala had a big off in Gniezno yesterday.

Maybe the right time to post again the rules for the 3 finals. 20 heats - top 2 to final next 4 to non scoring semi with top 2 into the final new for 2022 is the addition of an extra point for the rider who scores most race wins on the night(heats and final). If it`s a tie for the extra point it`s awarded to the rider in the highest finishing position- therefore a maximum of 19 points available each meeting.

Berntzon is ill and is replaced by Jakub Miskowiak.

Table edited to include tonight- now between Gniezno and Rybnik who goes down !!

Teams confirmed in Gniezno Gniezno v Gdansk Gniezno 9 Lindback 10 Koza 11 Hellstrom-Bangs 12 O Fajfer 13 Kildemand 14 Studzinski 15 Czapla 16 Szwacher Gdansk 1 Gryszpinski 2 Jensen 3 Gala 4 Jamrog- RR 5 Lahti 6 Marciniec 7 Zupinski 8 Trofymov

3 Qualifiers at Pila, Krosno and Rybnik are on Thursday July 28th I am assuming that as the SON 2 U21 is the following day in Esbjerg, the riders in the Polish team are seeded to the MIMP final on August 24th in Czestochowa.

Round 2 result in Muhldorf and standings https://fim-longtrack.com/results-muhldorf-final/ Chris Harris joint leader

Not sure about that- equal pay for everyone- that wouldn`t work

You ask any rider why they haven`t challenged it and they would tell you- " we can`t afford to risk losing Poland" As for the GP`s it`s only Fricke as all the others are Extraleague +1

It`s not total madness if you are Poland paying big bucks expecting the riders to perform and not be exhausted by riding every night all over Europe. Sweden and Denmark both run squads so it should be possible to come up with riding number of nights per week instead of number of other league`s.

It all seems so disappointing that NKI is actually only riding for 1 other( Sweden) this week as Denmark is on a mid season break- rides next Wednesday in re-arranged match and then not until 3rd August

Team Fjelsted Frederik Jakobsen – B Hans Andersen – B Peter Kildemand – A Kasper Andersen – C Stian Nielsen – D Holsted Tigers- 1 rider to be named Rasmus Jensen – B Lasse Bjerre – C Adrian Gala – B Marius Nielsen – D

RR at 4 for Jamrog tonight.

Yes but the figures to mean anything should be compared at the end of the season- It’s like comparing Apples and Pears. I am pretty sure the average at the end of the season will be more than 18 and 19. Anyway my point still stands it’s got nothing to do with meaningless matches or the make up of the teams- lets talk again in October !!

I cannot find the article- i would be very surprised if that is the figure.
