Not relevant to this thread i know- but why are riders allowed on track without helmets on doing a parade on bikes - surely this is as much a safety issue as any other.

Rides for Gniezno in Nice Polska league- certainly still competitive and looks to have fast engines this season

I would like that to be true but it`s not- the best we have had recently is Togliatti streamed it themselves but other than that the FIM have put together a 1 hour programme that they have put on the website and sold to Motors TV ( not on SKY platform any more)

That was because the Polish qualifier(goldenhelmet) at Pila was called off in controversial circumstances and the PZM seeded the riders and left out the more likely to qualify- who they blamed for the cancellation.
