Not for me- to replace a heat leader in Extraleague is nigh impossible- the clubs involved are hardly to blame so fairest outcome in my opinion would be RR - as long as they are in top 3 of the clubs averages( as existing rule for RR).

Others might think that Laguta and Emil`s main consideration in saying what they have is their wallets.

So guests from another team(different league ) is more acceptable to you ??

Not sure at present i can agree with that - above average in 250`s yes https://www.fim-moto.com/fileadmin/user_upload/News/2021/2021_FIM_Speedway_Youth_World_Championship_Final_Cloppenburg__Germany_Results.pdf

No surprise this announcement In relation to the situation in Ukraine, the FIM Board of Directors has unanimously condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The decisions that have been taken during an extraordinary meeting mean, that riders of Motorcycle Federation of Russia (MFR) and the Belarusian Federation of Motorcycle Sport (BFMS) are not allowed to participate in the Speedway Euro Championship 2022. 'The FIM Europe Executive Board is standing behind the FIM Decision. We all live in sympathy with the suffering inhabitants of Ukraine and wish them a peaceful future. The decisions announced today are taken in the interest of sport and peace, following the international Olympic Committee. We will watch the developments with great sadness and hope for a prompt and good resolution for the attacked nation' - said Martin de Graff, FIM Europe President.

I would imagine the teams affected will be allowed ZZ(RR) if in the top 3 of the teams averages

Idiot

Bydgoszcz have announced no Russians will ride in the meeting.

NKI is doing Poland, Denmark and Sweden.

Not sure Henry, possibly since the Extraleaue introduced the rule - as WTF posted earlier The PZMs offer was that the UK league would have to be declassified down to the same status as the other minor leagues eg French, Czech and German, where they are not included on the international calendar and would lose all rights over their race day priority.

So why hasn`t one other rider come out to congratulate the Extraleague authorities in easing the 1 league rule !!!- you are clutching at straws !!!!!

Poland have not changed the rule !!!!
