Polish junior league round 8 Zielona Gora Tuesday 22nd September

Daugavpils v Lodz is on Sunday 4th October start time 1pm UK time NOT ON TV

It certainly doesn`t mean if you don`t reach the semi`s you are not among the best 15 and deserve to be there. Zagar and Kasprzak are in it in 2021 and rightly so because they finished in the top 3 in the challenge( i know because of Covid they were nominated instead of qualifying). Lambert winning the SEC has gained his spot. I think the changes they have introduced are about right.

Couldn`t be ar$ed i would think- did a match ( or 2 ) so they could use R/R- won`t be there next week for the semi`s if they get through, because of the test match on Tuesday and won`t risk Wednesday before Torun. I just read today that he`s going to be a dad !!!

I have corrected it 5 mins ago

R/R for Zmarzlik tonight for Vetlanda

I think it`s bl**ding obvious- he only changed nationality so that Wroclaw could use him at 6 and 7( 14 and 15) as a " Polish " U 21 rider.

If he does switch back to being a Russian- Wroclaw won`t come out of it smelling like roses !!!

Whilst he remains a Polish citizen- Poland- but he has to be picked before he can ride.

Daugavpils are home to Lodz- i`m pretty sure they can beat Lodz.

Bet 365 go Indianerna --2 v Dackarna Masarna --10 v Vetlanda Piraterna +14 v Lejonen Vastervik --12 v Rospiggarna Zmarzlik not in the odds but in Vetlanda`s line-up ??

Don`t forget that Div 1 and 2 had to start after the Extraleague because they couldn`t afford to run without crowds whereas the Extraleague could initially- This meant that there just wasn`t time to fit in play-offs as Poland historically do not run much into October as it tends to get really cold and wet.

And then you woke up

I`m pretty sure it`s NO play-off`s in Div 1 and 2 this Covid season. Torun and Krosno are all but home and hosed !!

I should have said courtesy of Sportowefakty

The fight for silver will be part of a mini-tournament. For this reason, there will be four races. First, there will be two races in which the winners will advance further. Later, the losers will have a chance, competing for two places in the final.

There aren`t necessarily 4 in a race as far as i remember.

There is a multi heat run- off format for 5 or more riders and i`ve forgotten it !!

i did look at next Sunday and thought the same as you- the 2 legs of the final will definitely be the evening start time with the 3rd/4th place matches in the afternoon.
