racers and royals

I wasn`t referring to the fire- you cut off the other bit !!! Gorzow didn`t want to repair it quickly- you know that i know that. They even delayed the buying of the equipment needed because they weren`t happy at the cost. Totally amateurish approach from a supposedly professional sporting club.

Polish Silver helmet Gdansk Wednesday August 26th

Captions could be sorted out.

Set to restart shortly

Rain on way- started 30 mins early. It`s the new effects mic on the startline cameraman- it`s brilliant- i think i`m there

I think the captions are wrong - it was in heat 7 blue Sportowefakty are right. the commentators are right- the captions are wrong !!!!

In what respect ?

On now- started early because of rain fears.

They never have done- certainly with Bet 365 they haven`t - not sure about every bookmaker.

Just watched Dackarna v lejonen, and it wasn`t that Lejonen were that good it was Dackarna were really poor. I suppose with all 8 teams qualifying for the quarter finals this league stage is just sparing !! For the Malilla outfit they had 3 double figure scorers- Thorssell, Berntzon and Andersen and still managed to lose by 10 !! Klindt and Woryna starred for the Gislaved team both scoring 13. Tungate scored 8 but didn`t look as if he was as interested as he does in Poland !!

Takes a bit of skill- test yourself here

from Gdansk facebook page Two hours of heavy rainfall behind us. The sky above the stadium has brightened up and we are starting to remove water from the track. If the beneficial weather continues, the Silver Helmet final should take place. Working and looking at the sky with hope

Bewley i`m pretty sure is and Drew kemp is another in the team i gather.

Daugavpils were never ordered to play the matches in Poland( Covid yes if things in Latvia/Poland prevented the away teams from going). As i have previously said there were a lot of conditions for Daugavpils riding in the Extraleague- but riding home matches in Poland wasn`t one of them !!!.

It`s about time the FIM announced the line-ups.

No it`s for U 21`s- ie the 6 and 7`s- although U 16`s are allowed and a couple of 15 years old Ratajczak and Trzesniewski who both rode yesterday have taken some good scalps Here is yesterday`s Rybnik result Zielona Góra - 27 16.

Have any of these seeds been named yet ?

Just as well Gorzow got away with the stadium " electrical problems" shenanigans- it was the longest repair job in history

The bookmakers will be betting on points scored during the 20 heats and the 1,2,3,4- they will not be betting on the new GP points

Table 1 Leszno M 11 pts 22 +118 2 Zielona Gora M 11 pts 17 +39 3 Lublin M 11 pts 16 +56 4 Gorzow M 12 pts 15 +50 5 Wroclaw M 11 pts 14 + 18 6 Czestochowa M 11 pts 13 +4 7 Grudziadz M 12 pts 8 --86 8 Rybnik M 11 pts 2 --199

Col please re-edit your bet- that comes to £409 !!

Just watched the TV match Piraterna v Rospiggarna. Rospiggarna were always in control of the match despite them using R/R for Lahti. Surprise package was Daniel Henderson- best i have seen him ride for ages ! For the home team Jonas Davidsson continued his magnificent form with a paid maximum including a last gasp win from the back in heat 12 over THJ. Kildemand with 13 was the only real backup Piraterna had.

Col- please read the rules and edit your bet !!

This competition has been quietly going on for a few weeks now albeit with a few fixture changes along the way. round 7 was in Gorzow yesterday and because of rain the match was not finished and scores were taken after 14 races.. The 8 extraleague teams are taking part, and as it`s run on a pairs basis, one team misses a round. Current situation - team, match points race points ( matches ) 1 Zielona Gora 32 139 (6) 2 Czestochowa 29.5 134 (7) 3 lublin 22.5 116 (6) 4 Gorzow 20.5 102 (6) 5 Grudziadz 14.5 92 (6) 6 Leszno 13.5 90 (6) 7 Wroclaw 8.5 83 (6) 8 Rybnik 6 76 (6)
