racers and royals

QF’s tomorrow hit by the weather in Poland- only Bydgoszcz still on.

R/R for Dudek tonight i think.

Masarna website says yes- all can take a ride

Heeps should be in 15 instead of Harris

From a dangerous track to a superb track for overtaking in one race !!!!

In my case it would have been rescinded on appeal

I would be amazed if that was in fact true.

As it was a fog meeting it`s not surprising you weren`t able to see well

With Sindy i only created a thread because she is female - and newsworthy as a separate thread(or so i thought) you might as well start one now for Ben Ernst.

I was trying to save a rain forest by including it under the Polish league thread as it is Leszno we are both talking about.

I would imagine it`s a throwback to the mainly American concept of away teams being listed first before the home team- something i`m pretty sure we have never done over here.

I told everyone that this morning here

15.14 TOP SCORER’S HEAT (Heat 15 in SGBP, SGBC and ND League Competitions 15.14.1 Gate Positions are determined by the outcome of the Coin Toss at the start of the Meeting. 15.14.2 The Home Team Manager nominates first, but once nominated these cannot be amended, except by the Referee should the nomination not conform to the Regulations. 15.14.3 Nominations must be a ‘qualified’ Rider, as follows: - a) Any rider in the 1-5 by MA (subject to them not already having taken 7 rides) b) a reserve (6th and 7 th by MA) who is in the top 3 point scorers (including bonus points) from their programmed rides (subject to them not already having taken 7 rides). If a rider is disqualified for an offence under Art. 15.3 a Team Manager may choose either of the following options: - i) the disqualified rider can start on a 15 m handicap in positions c or d (the opposing team does not change gate positions) ii) is replaced by a reserve who will start from the same gate position at the tapes (subject to not having already taken 7 rides). For a 2 nd offence the rider will be disqualified with no replacement permitted. NB: If a qualified rider is withdrawn or has no equipment the Team Manager must nominate another qualified rider. In a re-run of heat 15 a non-disqualified rider who is unable to take part may be replaced by a reserve or another ‘qualified’ ride

Warsaw GP Saturday May 18th decent fans video taken from 4th bend view

There is a decent fans video taken from 4th bend view here

Yes all the 4 finals are on Eurosport- it remains to be seen however if the whole meetings will be seen on British Eurosport as they have plenty of other live sports they cover in the summer. All meetings will be fully live on Polish Eurosport.

Krosno v Opole Sunday May 19th - worth watching to see how this newly formed team(previous outfit went bust)go about things- massive crowd and looks a real professional set-up. They have a 5 year plan to get to the Extraleague.

Thanks- that must have been done in the last hour- because it still said Brennan when i looked.

Looks as if Leszno are signing up all the talented foreign youngsters( from the 250CC youth trophy series in 2018) Keynan Rew has already ridden for sister track Rawicz, and another Australian Liam May and German Ben Ernst have also signed.

Sadly Tom Brennan will now be missing the Krakow qualifier.

Lodz v Gniezno Sunday May 19th

I can`t find it- and i`m normally pretty good at finding them(i think !)
