racers and royals

Freesports is showing recordings tonight- not tonights live action Vastervik v Vetlanda which is on Premier sport 2

Bet 365 go- might be best to wait until teams are confirmed Dackarna --8 v Indianerna Lejonen --12 v Rospiggarna Piraterna +8 v Masarna really !!!! Vastervik --12 v Vetlanda

Yes that would have been better, however with the new rule that the SEC champion gets in from this year i suppose they felt they had to try and include it.

Friday`s teams Czestochowa v Gorzow Czestochowa 9 Holta 10 Doyle 11 Lindgren 12 Przedpelski 13 Madsen 14 Swidnicki 15 Miskowiak Gorzow 1 Wozniak 2 Kasprzak 3 Thomsen 4 Zmarzlik 5 NKI- R/R(ZZ) 6 Karczmarz 7 Jasinski Leszno v Grudziadz Leszno 9 Sayfutdinov 10 Kolodziej 11 Smektala 12 Lidsey 13 Piotr Pawlicki 14 Szlauderbach 15 Kubera Grudziadz 1 Pedersen 2 Buczkowski 3 Bjerre 4 Prem Pawlicki 5 A Laguta 6 Lotarski 7 Zielinski

Why shouldn`t Fricke be in it just because he`s in the GP`s ?? he unless there is a miracle won`t finish in the GP top 6 so could be out on his ear. This gives him a chance to be back in 2021(same applies to Zagar- who certainly has a better chance of a top 6 spot although un-likely).

I woke suddenly at 4am this morning- rather frightening !!!!! with the thought that teams are not racing each other twice apart from the " derby" rounds 7 and 8 where they meet one team twice !! I can confirm that there are no bonus points for aggregate score in Sweden this season

Yes it normally is the best, but not today.

Maniak is ok

People have been moaning about not being able to watch it- so the FIM have listened and you don`t like it !!!
