racers and royals

I think there needs to be a bit of a history lesson. The FIM Europe SEC under One Sport was an open event for GP riders to ride in qualifiers and in the series. They pay a pittance to the FIME compared to the GP contract and quite rightly the GP promoters were not happy. Therefore it was agreed that the SEC winner would get a place in the GP’s( only the winner- if the winner qualifies by another route 2nd does not get in). GP riders cannot enter the qualifiers or be the series wildcards and can only stay in it if they finish in the top 5 of the series finals.- ie if Michelsen gets a GP wildcard in 2025 then he won’t be in the SEC. I think it was a fair compromise and leaves the SEC as the secondary competition albeit with a route to the GP. I also think no one can complain about top 4 in Challenge getting into GP especially as GP is over when it takes place so all 16 riders know that a quarter of them will be GP riders in 2025.

Great tiny 185M track - start time 6pm UK time. 8 of the 16 riders announced Huckenbeck Blodorn Andersen Bellego Smektala E Riss Meijer Berntzon

Bydgoszcz will be a sell out today- demand for tickets was so great they have installed extra seating for today. It’s going to be tense !!

Tom Brennan replaces Lebedevs in the Challenge.

No Kolodziej tonight.

I don’t know why you bother making yourself look a fool. Przyjemski and Banbor riding today and Thursday and Friday Zmarzlik and Kubera riding Tuesday and Saturday Cierniak riding Tuesday Lindgren and Holder riding Saturday

Looks as if Premier Sport are sticking 2 fingers up to their Speedway subscribers( i ditched them years ago !!) as the 2nd leg of the final is not on live but at 11.30pm on Premier 2 on Tuesday.

Oops !!!! Now edited.

Goes to the team who finished higher in the regular season- Bydgoszcz !!!

Just seen Belle Vue pricing- just a £1 extra on normal league match pricing, which seems fair although it’s not cheap to start with.
