  3. Sweden Poland Drabik 7.88 8.54 * Smektala 7.46 7.44 * Lambert 7.02 4.91 Kubera 6.29 6.14 * * all 3 riders did have an easier heat 2 All i would add is that Lambert can be a top rider but needs to look himself in the mirror and change certain aspects of his professional career.
  4. Polish Extraleague and Div 1 and 2 have announced all meetings scheduled for April have been postponed

  9. Would not surprise me to see just 4 GP`s at the end of the season to decide the championships Wroclaw Friday October 2nd Torun Saturday October 3rd Warsaw Sunday October 4th Cardiff Sunday October 11th
  10. Sportowefakty article published today- Google translation Slag. The Grand Prix at the PGE National is no sooner than in July. Unless the virus goes away The inauguration of the Grand Prix in Warsaw is planned for 16 May. By the end of March, however, the decision to postpone the event will probably be made. No sooner than July. The final decision will be made after talks with BSI Michał Sikora, president of PZM, just a week ago he could not imagine postponing the May Grand Prix round in Warsaw. However, the situation associated with the coronavirus epidemic is dynamic. - We have to be responsible, that's why we have already started talks with PGE Narodowy regarding emergency dates. We are not postponing the Grand Prix yet, but we are looking for other solutions - Sikora tells us. - By the end of March we have to decide what to do with the Grand Prix - continues the president. - This is too big a venture to postpone to five to twelve. Permission for a mass event must be applied for for 30 days, and now, as you know, such events are prohibited. We have many colleagues who will take part in the preparation of the event. We must also inform them in advance when they will be needed. There are many indications that the Grand Prix of Warsaw will be postponed. For when No sooner than July. - Various events take place at PGE Narodowy and it's not like you can choose on dates - comments Sikora. - We will certainly not postpone it to June, because it is also a risk at the moment. So in the case of gearing, we aim soon for July. These discussions with the stadium authorities will last for a while, because we must remember that we need a facility for a week. You have to arrange the track. For the time being BSI does not set any conditions as to when the event will take place. The promoter of the Grand Prix also does not insist that Warsaw was the first stop of the cycle. - We have an emergency, so now you need to arrange these blocks not as you want, but as you can. If we have information about possible dates, then we will consult with BSI which would be the best - ends Sikora.

  14. If Speedway is back to normal by mid May then Poland v Australia has been rearranged for Sunday May 17th in Torun.
  15. Extraleague have followed suit. This is their statement- Google translation. In the light of the events concerning the spread of COVID-19, the Management Board of Ekstraliga Żużlowa sp.z o.o. in consultation with the Supervisory Board, the Polish Motor Association and all clubs, decided to cancel the first two rounds of PGE Ekstraliga in the 2020 season. Thus, the best speedway league in the world will start, if the situation allows, on April 17/19 (3rd round). In turn, matches of the 1st and 2nd rounds will be played on new dates, which are also reserve dates for PGE Ekstraliga 2020 games. 1st round New date April 24, 2020 BETARD SPARTA Wrocław - MOTOR Lublin ELTROX FIBER Częstochowa - MRGARDEN GKM Grudziądz April 26, 2020 TRULY.WORK STAL Gorzów - FOGO UNIA Leszno ROW Rybnik - FALUBAZ Zielona Góra 2nd round New date June 12, 2020 FOGO UNIA Leszno - BETARD SPARTA Wrocław MRGARDEN GKM Grudziadz - ROW Rybnik June 14, 2020 FALUBAZ Zielona Góra - ELTROX WOOLER Częstochowa MOTOR Lublin - TRULY.WORK STAL Gorzów Depending on the development of the situation, any further decisions will be taken by April 1. - The rule that guides us and which will guide us is the safety of all participants of PGE Ekstraliga 2020 and the playing of matches with the support of fans. Sport in the current situation must come to the background. However, we are also perfectly aware of the financial aspects of clubs and players. We are constantly looking at the situation and we will follow the decisions taken by the state authorities. We are prepared for all variants related to subsequent decisions regarding the games, but at this point we should all focus primarily on reducing as much as we can - said Wojciech Stępniewski, President of Ekstraliga Speedway.
  16. Polish authorities have just announced the postponement of rounds 1 and 2 in April plus the Golden helmet qualification. The Extraleague are expected to follow suit later today.
  17. With over 2 months before the meeting it`s far to early to expect any decision- There is scheduled to be over a month of the Polish speedway season before then. How this virus is contained( if at all possible) will determine everything. Google translation of a Sportowefakty article published today President of PZM: the first two queues at risk, but I can't imagine postponing the Grand Prix in Warsaw - Motorcycle events in Łódź and Tomaszów have been canceled. I'm afraid that the first and second queues of the speedway league are under threat. However, I cannot imagine postponing the Grand Prix of Warsaw - tells us the president of PZM Michał Sikora. Speedway can not afford to ride without fans. If the league starts in June, we will manage to complete the entire season (interview) In PZM, they look with some concern at the developments in the coronavirus case. Due to the ban on the organization of mass events introduced by the Prime Minister, it was necessary to cancel the World Championships in SuperEnduro in Łódź and the European Ice Championships in Tomaszów Mazowiecki. There will also be no Poland - Australia match. - I am afraid that the first and second queue of the speedway league may be at risk, but not further - says the president of the association Michał Sikora. In Ekstralidze Żużlowa, however, they are getting ready that you will have to reschedule all the queues in April. Some CEOs think it quite likely that the season will not start until June. In mid-May we have organized by the PZM Grand Prix. - I can't imagine that it can be postponed - says President Sikora. On the other hand, there is certainly no option to drive at PGE Narodowy in Warsaw without spectators. The event costs several million, the union cannot afford to inaugurate the GP without the audience and the proceeds from the tickets. - If it was a permanent track, then we could do something like that, but not with artificial track and huge costs. Will we set up a crisis team? We have a Grand Prix organizing committee that follows the situation and drafts scenarios, that's enough. In the worst case, we will postpone the competition to another date - comments Sikora. However, the president of PZM does not want to prejudge anything or develop the topic. - We are fresh after the prime minister's decisions to close events. I was also at a meeting with the Minister of Sport Danuta Dmowska-Andrzejuk. I think you need to hold your comments for at least a week to see how things will develop. Poland is infected with a virus, but there is no drama like in several other European countries. This does not change the fact that we have an extra-coordinative situation and we need to respond on a regular basis - notes the activist.
  18. I will let you do the scrolling with the calendar here http://old.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/ just scroll down the page and the fixtures come up- change the number per page to 50
