He will need a wildcard as he didn’t do the qualifiers- not sure he would get one.

World longtrack round 3 Muhldorf Sunday July 7th

It`s not an easy fix i`m afraid- With Onesport being a Polish company and holding the rights to the SEC and world U21, their number one target area is Poland and i should imagine that Eurosport Poland did the contract and promised them live coverage of both comps in Poland. To be fair to One sport in previous years they have provided English commentary internet coverage of the U 21`s when Eleven Sport Poland had the contract. Obviously Eurosport Poland cannot dictate to the other Eurosport countries what they show live(Germany doesn`t show them at all !!!!). Below is an email i sent to Eurosport UK last Saturday. PLEASE PASS THIS EMAIL TO THE EUROSPORT UK PROGRAMME SCHEDULE CONTROLLER Dear sirs, Eurosport this year are showing the 3rd and 4th most important world speedway competitions namely 1/ speedway European championships(SEC) 4 rounds 2/ World U21 championships 3 rounds. The Promoters are a Polish company(Onesport) so maybe the contract was agreed and signed by Eurosport Poland. I have been involved in UK Speedway racing for over 50 years as a fan and in management, and would like to make some observations on how Eurosport UK are scheduling these 2 competitions in 2019. the 1st round of the World U21 competition was held on Saturday June 22nd- it was shown live on Eurosport Poland and i believe on Eurosport player here in the UK. The 1st showing on TV was an hour highlights on Tuesday morning 25th, and the programme started at heat 19 out of 23 races !!!! The 1st final of the SEC competition is next Saturday July 13th from Gustrow Germany. The meeting starts at 1900 local time(1800 here in the UK) with once again Eurosport Poland showing the whole match live. Eurosport UK goes live at 19.45 for 75 mins which undoubtedly will mean British viewers will join the action at about race 17 of a 22 race programme !!! Speedway fans like myself get frustrated at missing races, and myself and others would far prefer you showing the whole meeting on "delayed live" ie show next Saturday`s whole meeting for 3 hours from 19.45, if you cannot programme the meeting live because of other sport on the 2 channels. We can keep away from checking scores until transmission starts. you are sending 2 commentators to the tracks for the 7 rounds so i would think you would like to get the maximum viewing figures you can get.

Very funny !!! Laguta never raised a gallop last night in Gdansk- i should have realised he wasn`t trying !!!

Tomorrow`s Polish championships final(IMP). Leszno should prove some excitement, although the field is not the greatest- bit of a class difference between top and bottom.

17 took part- and we lose 7 after tonight !! Leaderboard after round 1 Gustrow James Carter £1200 Shockster £900 Robbie B £600 Panthers 89 £400 Anzum £355 Mickthemuppet £350 A Orlov £350 Speedway sliders £100 R8gdp £100 Col £10 WE LOSE Mark nil CJ 69 -£150 Icescot - £250 Shrewsbury wolf - £400 June 01 - £400 Forsberg -£520 Racers and Royals - £600 Round 2 is in Torun on Saturday July 27th

Who said it would be heat 17 when Eurosport UK came on air

Red won 1st 4 races- Blue next 4. What chance white winning next 4 !!

Inside gate and inside line so far- hope that changes !!!

Live as in showing the FA cup final from 75 mins on the clock !!!!!

Here is what i posted on the previous page Eurosport UK have come up trumps again for the coverage of the 1st round of the finals on Saturday July 13th from Gustrow Germany. Meeting starts at 6pm UK time with Eurosport Poland showing complete match live. Eurosport 2 uk go on air LIVE at 19.45 just in time for about heat 17 !!!!!! I emailed Eurosport suggesting that UK fans would rather they show the whole meeting " delayed live " at 19.45 as we could easily keep away from checking out any scores until then- they obviously know best !!!!!

Latest from trackside- 26 C blue skies, gentle breeze. Big crowd already with an hour to go.

Sorry no. your best hope will be the links to Eurosport Poland i posted earlier.

Would imagine Chris Harris moving to Ipswich was all about Rohan Tungate not able to ride for Ipswich( bad blood) so a swap was the best answer to make both teams competitive.

That was March 2018 so possibly around that time.

Always good to compare the opposition`s odds- my centre spread against BET 365`s actual score in their higher/lower market(bet 365 20 heats only) R/R BET 365 Laguta 12 9 Madsen 12 11 Pedersen 11 8 Michelsen 9 10 Lambert 9 10 MJJ 9 8 Thomsen 8 7 Lindback 8 7 Hampel 8 7 Milik 8 6 Smektala 6 6 Woryna 6 6 Huckenbeck 6 8 Wolbert 5 6 Przedpelski 5 4 Bellego 4 6

I believe Terry Russell hasn`t had the rights for a couple of years now- it`s the BSPA who have them back.

I told Poland(Sportowefakty) about it so that probably helped the figures.

Easier to do when you have no TV contract- like the Swedes have done.

Need some more entries before 6pm tonight !!

Behind Erik Riss and Huckenbeck( unless it`s longtrack)
