racers and royals

Nothing announced as of yet- and probably won`t be until just before Sweden and Poland start. I would wait if i were you, unless they have other content you watch anyway.

Don`t think it will come to that- if you go back a page there are some guesses as to what might happen.

You obviously need to go back to 2019 season when Poland started using Friday`s and it was the 1st year of " timed qualification". I remember both Woffinden and Zmarzlik when interviewed saying that they didn`t have a choice to ride for their clubs and wished it had been made compulsory so that the full field could practice/qualify

or overwatered

That is not certain as you well know- if the track is wet when the dirt line moves out 5,6 or 7 could quite easily get the best of track conditions.

It doesn`t really matter - the track is not graded after every race during a match. The riders want a practice on the track. As i said before it`s made for TV - the riders like it and if a rider thinks that 2 gate 1`s in a meeting gives him an advantage for going fast in qualifying, then what`s wrong with that ? Don`t forget the track isn`t necessarily best the 1st race after a grade- i accept that it normally is but then the rider has to pick the best line without making a mistake. If the riders and TV like it, then it`s good enough for me !!

Maybe Cardiff and Warsaw will remain on Friday( you can`t get to Togliatti in 2 minutes- so that might also have to be)

Thinking about it, qualifying doesn`t have to be on Friday so might they consider same day qualifying to allow the clashing Polish Extraleague matches to take place. Same day practice happens at a lot of FIM and SEC meetings.

Whatever you think is your opinion. If one listens to the riders- they want to do it and were upset when they were forced to be elsewhere, now it`s a level playing field with everyone there and don`t forget the order they go out is determined by the time set in " free practice" before the main TV programme starts. One could argue that it`s just done for TV, but is that such a bad thing ? The Extraleague have plenty of dates available as reserved fixtures to move these 2 Friday`s matches( or even the whole round if they want to)

That is interesting- the FIM are telling the Extraleague who is boss !!! and not before time. The Extraleague will have to move their 2 Friday`s fixtures to another date.

If the FIM and BSI re introduce the Friday GP qualifying flying lap to sort out start riding position, then at the moment there are just 2 GP’s with missing riders because of Extraleague commitments. Prague June 4th missing Madsen, Lindgren,Janowski,Laguta, Woffinden and Kasprzak Wroclaw July 30th. missing Madsen, Lindgren, Lambert and Kasprzak

Google translation of a Sportowefakty article Andrzej Witkowski wants to enlarge PGE Ekstraliga to 10 teams. Concrete talks in January The honorary president of PZM Andrzej Witkowski talks about the expansion of PGE Ekstraliga from the 2022 season. He has already planned talks with Michał Sikora and Wojciech Stępniewski. They will happen in early January. - This is a unique moment to expand PGE Ekstraliga to 10 teams. It is worth considering, says Andrzej Witkowski. The honorary president of PZM believes that the discussion on this topic should begin at the beginning of the year, to announce any changes before the start of the 2021 season. - So far I have been loosely exchanging comments with the presidents Michał Sikora and Wojciech Stępniewski. We agreed to have a longer discussion in early January. If this change comes into force, it must be announced before the 2021 season, because it would mean that no one is dropped from PGE Ekstraliga. There would be less tension, some would spend less and two teams would be promoted to the elite. That's an idea for now. Details need to be worked out. I believe that we have the perfect moment for a discussion and it is definitely worth including the chairman of GKSŻ, Piotr Szymański. In this group, we should consider all the arguments for and against - emphasizes Witkowski. The honorary president of PZM believes that expanding PGE Ekstraliga from the 2022 season would make sense for several reasons. - I am deeply convinced that in 2022 we will go a normal season without the coronavirus. Therefore, I believe that the fans deserve more speedway, which means more matches in PGE Ekstriga. The only way, then, is to enlarge the league. In addition, in 2022 there will be important changes in the slag. Eurosport Events, the new promoter of the Grand Prix and the Team World Cup, appears. In addition, there will be a new TV contract at PGE Ekstraliga. I hope this translates into more money for the clubs. Then there is a chance to share them and strengthen the centers that will join the elite - argues Witkowski. At the same time, the activist adds that everything must be done to maintain the division into three leagues in Poland. - Poland's mission is to stop the division into three leagues. It would be possible, because teams from Ukraine, Slovakia and Hungary could compete in the second league from 2022. We already have Germans and Latvians. In my opinion, there is a real chance of these eight or ten teams. I believe that we should remain good for Europe and remember that the slag is in crisis. You have to look for new opportunities to revive the discipline - summarizes Witkowsk

The other one

1 only extra in Poland- the first GP of the season is to be held at a venue where GP`s have been held before- but not recently.

N Sport have a new series starting tonight with Lukasz Benz interviewing riders- tonight starts with Mark Loram. Programme starts at 7.25pm UK time and should be available to watch here http://spedway.ucoz.lv/ The programme is on every other Friday

A nostalgic Speedway match New Cross v Harringay.

Well that is a surprise !! - have a look at the previous posts.

The May 2021 date was announced in June this year( Just as Polish speedway was getting going)- not sure a lot of blame can be attributed to the organisers(PZM) especially as Warsaw has always been an early season GP.
