That latest line-up means Prem Pawlicki and Miskowiak have pulled out and are riding in the ZG v Czestochowa league match the same day- unbelievable !! Edit just found out both have been seeded to the series finals so only 8 qualify out of the Challenge instead of 10. The Polish Championship should always trump a re-arranged league match. Absolutely farcical.

Rasmus Jensen replaces the injured Anders Thomsen in Stralsund

Why ? Him and Leon Flint are still relative youngsters both ride in Poland.- suppose Kemp might also be in that category. Edit just read that Dan Thompson is the other reserve- also rides in Poland.

I think you have conveniently left out that in the Premier League football we know that the 3 bottom teams will be relegated. In the Extraleague due to play-offs and play- downs it’s extra jeopardy that 4 teams are sweating on relegation( teams 5-8 at the regular season end).
