racers and royals

But it doesn`t - the FIM have already bowed down to the Extraleague enough- why should they change practice to suit the polish league. don`t forgot the Extraleague think they can do anything they want- they even upset their own federation(PZM) with their fixture scheduling.

Just watched Indianerna v Lejonen- a cracking match on the best racetrack in Sweden !. A subtle change to 2 of the teams this season is that Indianerna and Smederna are now primarily known as Kumla and Eskilstuna respectively. Woffinden was in a class of his own- so quick it was very nearly embarrassing ! Lejonen gave it everything but Kumla are a real decent team this season. Attendance 3807

3807 at Kumla !!! loads of sponsorship in Swedish speedway- teams are run by the local community- not one person !!! and the local businesses get behind the clubs in a big way.

Just watched Rospiggarna v Vastervik and a really heavy home defeat for the Hallstavik team. Not sure dispensing with R/R for Doyle worked. Fricke was disappointing, Gleb Chugunov`s career seems to have really stalled. Vastervik were just too good on the night with Pedersen, Buczkowski and Jack Holder impressive. Every time i see the Vastervik rider Anton Karlsson i`m impressed and i do think he is a decent rider in the making. Attendance 1650

Live tomorrow - starts 3.40pm UK time 1st race 4pm UK time

Just watched Dackarna v Piraterna, the visitors very much a 2 man team- Michelsen and NKI. Pretty ordinary match delayed for about an hour after heat 8 when the ambulance was called away. Attendance 2016

I think you gave him a bit of what he wanted- line-ups (riders) for both semi`s- i have guessed a bit on the Vetlanda round as the teams are not confirmed by the FIM(no supp regs) or at least i cannot find them- i found the 4 teams on some website. Poole must have been the highlight of your trip

Poor old Finland- Daugavpils would have been nearer ??

Thursday`s Match VETLANDA 1 Wozniak 2 Zmarzlik 3 Kurtz 4 Kubera 5 Palovaara 6 Hjelmland 7 Batchelor LEJONEN 1 Hampel 2 Tungate 3 Klindt 4 Woryna 5 Kasprzak 6 Tornbolm 7 THJ

2 semi’s on June 29th Daugavpils has Latvia Poland Czech’s Germany Vetlanda has Sweden Denmark Australia Finland Top team from each semi and best scoring 2nd will join GB in final

Anyone can enter as long as it’s before 6 pm UK time on Saturday- the more the merrier- and the more i win !!!!

It`s either practice or league match- they can`t do both time wise. Janowski won`t ride anywhere before Saturday i would think.

There is no extra point for fastest- that`s F1. The fastest does pick his rider number however, then 2nd fastest 2nd choice and so on.

Because the Extraleague have re-arranged the postponed Wroclaw v Gorzow meeting for this Friday(Wroclaw stadium not available so they have switched the H & A fixtures between the clubs) so this week is Gorzow v Wroclaw

Yes

Don`t remind me- i was there and too make matters worse Ryanair left us stranded at Weeze airport

Krosno v Bydgoszcz Sunday May 12th

Not sure this Friday`s practice will get rained off because of the rain- the stadium does have a roof !! Hang on !! who remembers the opening event a football match against England postponed in 2012 because they forgot to shut the roof in time

Test pairs meeting starts at 3pm UK time today. live updates https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/97709/test-toru-na-pge-narodowym
