racers and royals

Because it’s a “ made for TV “ competition and for that we need single race drama for it to be successful - building up to a climax. However it’s bound to end in tears with an exclusion in the final !!!

From 1pm UK time

Sorry Philip, you are normally correct but on this occasion not(page 26 of the SON rules) 3. If the scores are shared between the two teams taking part in the Race Offs heats 22 & 23. Final 2 heat 22 (Semi Final) and Final 2 heat 23 (Grand Final), the team taking 2nd and 3rd position will be considered the better place team.

Esbjerg v Holsterbo Wednesday May 30th

As someone who has been to plenty of GP`s all over Europe i can`t agree with you fully. i think there has to be a mix of city tracks and "country" tracks. If you take Sweden we have lost two great cities to spend a weekend Stockholm and Gothenburg and we have now Malilla, in the middle of nowhere ( although a great racetrack usually) and now Hallstavik which i`m not sure about as a racing venue. add in Copenhagen they are all big losses in my opinion.

Anybody watch it ? was it a decent meeting ? decent crowd ?

sorry should have read the press release- didn`t realise he is on a 7 day ban.

Sportowefakty are saying a crowd of 6200

Must of had a sick note as they used R/R in the return at Leicester in the evening.

Should be on here https://ssl.ustreamix.com/embed.php?id=polsat-sport&referer=www.google.co.uk&host=ssl.ustreamix.com

If it`s not a silly question- his Polish team didn`t have a match on Sunday- so wouldn`t it have been better to catch the early Sunday flight back and he probably would have been home lunchtime Sunday.

Should be live here tomorrow http://www.maniak.tv/kanal-7

No Jokers- i posted the rules and details of the heats a few pages back(page 15). The winning of the whole 2 day 44 races final is down to 1 final race !!

Just watched the final match Vetlanda v Smederna and if i had asked Ghostie before i watched it he would have told me it would be boring as it`s Vetlanda !! and he was right-how Smederna didn`t get all the points i don`t quite know- 8 up with 3 to go should have been enough.

The problem is that more and more riders who ride over here are signing for Nice Polska and div 2 teams. this immediately causes problems because these 2 leagues not only run Sunday`s but run the odd matches on Friday`s and Saturday`s. Riders who just ride Premiership are not effected - it`s the Championship and doubling up riders such as Klindt, Nick Morris, Lawson,Richie Worrall, Wright,Wells,Ellis and Kerr. Poland do use a squad system but understandingly wan`t to put the best side out especially if they are near the top of the league.

Pila were better off with Pawel Laguta who rode really well( Harris was named the previous match and replaced by Laguta)

Leszno v Tarnow Sunday May 27th all heats short version https://www.cda.pl/video/232511426?wersja=720p Wroclaw v Grudziadz Sunday May 27th all heats short version https://www.cda.pl/video/232533680?wersja=720p

Just watched Masarna v Lejonen. Masarna were really poor and Lejonen rode as they should do with the line-up they have( really poor at home last week) As previously mentioned Woryna had a really nasty crash in heat 5 but rode again and looked ok.

9520 was the correct figure which i posted a few pages back.

Just watched Rospiggarna v Vastervik and the title favourites were given a real scare by the away team. Lambert rode well and Peter Ljung have a really nasty crash in heat 15 when he couldn`t get away from the bike when he crashed on the straight - luckily he was ok and rode in the re-run.

Just watched Indianerna v Dackarna not the best match i have ever seen from Kumla however the scores were close throughout which made it interesting. did Premier have any problems with the pictures last night ? as Speedway play had big problems getting the coverage out and have given a refund on all the match purchases for yesterday and 14 days free for monthly subscribers like myself.

He`s taken out polish citizenship and has a Polish passport(Grandmother Polish)
