Google translation of Sportowefakty article Let us remind you that this year's Golden Helmet final will take place on July 27 in Bydgoszcz. For now, certain participants are: Bartosz Zmarzlik, Patryk Dudek, Krzysztof Kasprzak, Janusz Kołodziej, Paweł Przedpełski, Krzysztof Buczkowski, Kacper Woryna, Jakub Jamróg, Bartosz Smektała, Jarosław Hampel and Szymon Woźniak. They will be joined by 4 youths and one player who will be awarded with a wild card by Abramczyk Polonia Bydgoszcz. This means that Piotr Pawlicki, Przemysław Pawlicki, Maciej Janowski and Maksym Drabik will not get a chance to fight for the promotion to the Grand Prix. This is the result of their famous absence at one of the team's social gatherings. They were then expelled from the national team, and only the speedway riders belonging to it received the right to compete in the Golden Helmet.

Just 1 Extraleague match left this weekend Friday July 17th Lublin v Grudziadz programme starts 7.15pm 1st race 7.30pm Eleven Sport 1 and Premier Sport 1 ( 7.30pm)

Big Covid problem in Polish Speedway- Google translation.

A positive test result was attended by one of the people staying in the machine park during the PGG ROW Rybnik - FOGO Unia Leszno match of July 10. It is not one of the competitors, mechanics or training staff members. PGE Ekstraliga was informed about this fact on July 14 in the afternoon. Accordingly, in accordance with the crisis procedure prepared in advance and ready for such cases: - postponed matches of the 6th round of PGE Ekstraliga PGG ROW Rybnik - ELTROX Włókniarz Częstochowa (17 July) and FOGO Unia Leszno - RM SOLAR Falubaz Zielona Góra (19 July) - introducing mandatory home insulation from July 14 for all PGG ROW Rybnik and FOGO Unia Leszno players together with player mechanics and training staffs as well as all functionaries staying in the machine park (participants of the match of the 5th round of PGE Ekstraliga PGG ROW Rybnik - FOGO Unia Leszno with 10th of July) - a ban on all sports activities for players participating in the PGG ROW Rybnik match - FOGO Unia Leszno from July 10 - genetic testing for coronavirus for all PGG ROW Rybnik and FOGO Unia Leszno players together with mechanics and training staffs as well as functionaries in the machine park (participants of the 5th round match of the PGE Ekstraliga PGG ROW Rybnik - FOGO Unia Leszno from July 10) In accordance with WHO recommendations, genetic testing for coronavirus is carried out within 7-8 days of the potential contact with an infected person.

Slightly improving as the meeting goes along.

All systems go in Bydgoszcz- no weather problems.

Bet 365 have some interesting odds on tonights div 1 league championship !!

Now you are just being silly- Gorzow want the match postponed- the match is not postponed until the Extraleague say so- i did not respond in any sort of a offensive way

Whilst that may turn out to be true- i think until the Extraleague make a decision we have to treat it as a " maybe ".

I was told that each GP rider could only be a wildcard once- WRONG Zmarzlik is the wildcard in Rybnik.
