racers and royals

I can Scores from Friday’s 21 heats are added to the 21 heats on Saturday - and the top scoring team is in the final(race 23 on 2 nd day) so every point is vital to get straight through to that race !! the 2nd and 3rd highest scoring teams after the 42 heats go into race 22 (semi- final) and the winners go to the grand final race 23. The losers get the bronze medal on the podium. Gold and Silver is decided on the result of race 23 - the grand final.

Pity they didn`t read these 2 rules which i posted yesterday afternoon- They might have known that the reserve cannot come in for starting offences. " In front of the starting tape, a countdown clock is placed on the infield indicating the remainder of the 2 minutes time allowance. If, in the opinion of the Referee, any Rider or Riders are not ready to start when the 2 minutes time allowance has expired or are not under the control of the Starting Marshal, they shall be disqualified from the heat. The disqualified Rider or Riders shall not be replaced." 8.4 Unsatisfactory Start Starts will be carried out in accordance with Regulation 70.10.5 Where, in the opinion of the Referee, a start has been incorrect then he will immediately stop the race and order a restart. The Referee will give a warning to any rider deemed to have been the cause of or contributed to the unsatisfactory start. This will be communicated verbally by the Race Director before the race is restarted. In circumstances where the referee is of the opinion that an offence has been committed but the offending rider has gained no advantage and is deemed not to have interfered with any other rider in the same heat, the Referee may allow the heat to continue and issue the warning after the heat is completed. In these circumstances the offending rider must be informed before leaving the pits for his/her next heat. Any starting offence committed after a warning has been given in the same meeting under this Regulation will result in the disqualification of the rider from that race. This will be signified by the showing of his disqualification light by the Referee. The Reserve Rider will not be permitted to take the place of any rider disqualified for starting offences

I watched it live on the internet. Nicklas obviously didn`t break his leg in the crash last week - he must have been a lucky boy.

FIM are taking their time naming the wildcards !

Bydgoszcz v Rzeszow Sunday 3rd June

It`s not easy that`s for sure, however and i don`t know if Nigel Pearson uses a computer or fills in a paper scorechart but he only had one team`s score wrong(ukraine) which i noticed around heat 16.

Wonder if Greg was happy to be taken out of heat 9 ???

Nothing as yet- but there certainly will be somewhere in Poland. Just keep an eye on here https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/kalendarz/2018/10/07

Hancock 48 years young today. Surely he won`t carry on much longer- will he ?? What brilliant coverage these Polish internet companies provide.

Extremely sad to see how far this great club has fallen- I was there when a far from fit Thomas Gollob won the world title

There could be more watching in the UK than watching at the track !!

Anyone watching ?

Wonder what the FIM, Rzeszow and Hancock would have done if the USA had got through to Wroclaw yesterday- as he has this fixture today When a Team Manager or a Rider has signed on, he is deemed to have entered the meeting and is not permitted to take part in any other motorcycle meeting until the completion of the FIM SoN, unless eliminated from the competition. Beautiful sunny day in Bydgoszcz and a very hot 31C

Great Britain, Australia and Sweden all 7/4JF to win Tuesday.

Time to ressurect this post i made several days ago

I was so nearly right tonight- i just didn`t think of a steel shoe scenario

Pass- maybe it was because they only had 6 months notice !!!

It`s compulsory in 2019 to have 3 riders- 1 of which is U21

To be fair they have again been excellent tonight- but for Nigel to have his scores wrong for 75% of the meeting is not great
