racers and royals

Vojens called off after a few heats- unsafe track !!!!! From Vojens- Google translated What was supposed to be a party night - the audience at the stadium again - and four strong teams up two final places in the new cup tournament Metal Speedway League 4, ended in one of the worst scandals in recent times for Vojens Speedway Center. After only 3 heats, the match was canceled because the hard track started to create flakes and tracks, which are dangerous in the fast-paced speedway sport. This is similar to when a field of cyclists hits railway tracks for trams in a stage of the Tour de France, or rain holes in the asphalt! Esbjerg Vikings lost Mathias Nielsen in heat two, after an ugly crash, and he was taken by ambulance to Aabenraa Hospital after examinations. The episode created fierce debate among many drivers and team leaders in the pits. SES- Sønderjylland Elite Speedways drivers were ready to resume the match, while several profiles from Esbjerg, Slangerup and Grindsted wanted the match canceled and postponed. After a long track service, referee Poul Erik Nielsen, NERI, started the match again, but a new crash, this time Slangerup's Andreas Lyager, was the sad end. - It was ultimately my heavy decision, because the safety of the drivers comes first, said judge Poul Erik Nielsen. Race organizer Jacob Olsen was shattered after the blowout. - It's the worst night of my entire speedway life. I'm just so sorry on behalf of the audience and all of our collaborators. Of course, I respect the judge's decision, but did not agree. There was too much anarchy in the pit, and this nightmare requires some reworking. At the time of writing, it is unknown how the cup tournament will be conducted. One possibility is a new semi-final on 16 June, and possibly a final at Skt. His evening, Wednesday, June 23rd.

Busy day in the DMPJ yesterday with 4 matches- cumulative scores Group A after 5 rounds Lublin 20 Tarnow 14 Rzeszow 10 Krosno 5 Group B after 6 rounds Torun 19 Grudziadz 16 Bydgoszcz 12 Gdansk 11 Group C after 6 rounds Czestochowa 21 Wroclaw 21 Rybnik 12 Opole 6 Group D after 7 rounds Daugavpils 26 Ostrow 20.5 Gniezno 16 Lodz 5.5

Final match watched and what a cracking performance by Lejonen to win by 14 points in Kumla. this was the best match of the 3 with Lambert, Berntzon and Tungate all impressive. Indianerna maybe not as bad as the scores suggest.

Just watched Masarna v Smederna and what a pathetic performance from the home team. Smederna however very impressive in winning by 57-33. Track produced some decent racing at times.

Just watched Dackarna v Vastervik and slightly underwhelmed to be honest- feel the track only came to life in the latter stages. 2 of the teams likely to be battling it out at the top.

Thursday`s match teams Vetlanda v Rospiggarna Vetlanda 1 Zmarzlik 2 Palovaara 3 Wozniak 4 Lyager 5 Ljung 6 Hjelmland 7 Woentin Rospiggarna 1 Nilsson 2 Huckenbeck 3 Mihailov 4 Dudek 5 Lahti 6 Henderson 7 Holstensson

Tuesday’s and Thursday’s confirmed.

There is an match thread created by myself - look there.

I was going to say that i had been trying to find out via facebook with Bydgoszcz and Vastervik without getting a conclusive answer either way. do you see any value ? Masarna + 8 not sure Smederna are that much better !!

Friday`s matches line-ups Wroclaw v Grudziadz Wroclaw 9 Chugunov 10 Woffinden 11 Bewley 12 A Laguta 13 Janowski 14 M Curzytek 15 Liszka 16 Grudziadz 1 Prem Pawlicki 2 Lacbaum 3 Kasprzak 4 Bjerre 5 Pedersen 6 Zielinski 7 Bartkowiak 8 Czestochowa v Lublin Czestochowa 9 Madsen 10 Woryna 11 Smektala 12 Jeppesen 13 Lindgren 14 Miskowiak 15 Swidnicki Lublin 1 G Laguta 2 Buczkowski 3 Hampel 4 Karion 5 Michelsen 6 Lampart 7 Cierniak 8(Kubera)-not named

Looks as if Eleven Sport 1 Poland have agreed to show the Swedish league- whether that is Tuesday’s and Thursday’s i don’t know- certainly could allow better scope watching on the internet. Edit starts tonight Dackarna v Vastervik 6pm UK time http://spedway.ucoz.lv/ seems to be working- go full screen and click on small square with 3 lines in it- other channels then come up if you hover over them Eleven Sport 1 comes up.
