GP in Prague or Pardubice ??

I`m off to the opticians asap- i think i`m suffering from double vision

Forgot him.

Kurtz can go because he`s an Aussie(same as Doyle) Jack is riding E winner 1st division with Torun and i don`t think the league have made a decision about what to do.

As Sweden, Denmark and the UK are refusing start permission to ride Poland if the riders are doing their domestic league racing, these are the affected Extraleague riders Lindback, Bewley, NKI,Thomsen, Bjerre and Lambert.

Mikkel Michelsen who lives in Poland is refusing to sign his Polish contract with Lublin because he won`t agree not to be allowed to leave Poland as he wants to ride for his Danish team and sponsors.

The PZM, Wroclaw and Torun give everyone there money back and then BSI/IMG give them all that money plus what they paid to host it back ? no chance.

No chance of any GP`s if empty stadiums requirements are still in force.

Not sure if everyone is being serious- but the social distancing will be throughout the pits and other areas but not the race. that`s why a rider can only have one mechanic at the track.

Madsen and Przedpelski have agreed to ride for Czestochowa

He says that it`s more than a 50% pay cut.- not sure that`s a final decision

Eastville Bristol- pathetic track !!!

Sorry my bad Pocking not Norden !!!!!!

You are correct night before Norden- i was at Norden but not Landshut that year.

Looks as if there was another Golden greats at Landshut on 28th August 1993.

There was one at Swindon 1990.

I was there- the night before the Munich world final.

I`m pretty sure it will- the TV money is so great the clubs will do everything they can to make it happen, however there is i`m sure going to be a lot happening in the transfer window as clubs will want to be competitive.(brinkmanship on both sides !!) It could be the only opportunity for the riders to earn money this season, after no doubt spending heavily pre- season.

A few thoughts on the new Polish season decisions. 1 I wonder what sort of activity in the transfer window there will be- will clubs and riders be sensible in their decision making ? 2 Riders are going to find it strange with the 1 pit crew member only- the past norm has been at least 2 sometimes 3. 3 Not sure how the Swedish and Danish leagues are going to be able to run, as Sweden especially use a massive number of riders who ride in Poland. 4 Doyle has already come out and said he has a big decision what to do, and i`m sure riders like Woffinden, Bewley, Batchelor etc etc will also have to make difficult decisions.

If by any chance the Wroclaw GP goes ahead with fans allowed(August 1st) my Sunday league match in Gorzow has been stuffed !!!!!
