racers and royals

8 pm- obviously not live- but going to be one of today`s meetings, probably Torun v Grudziadz.

They will do it quick- Monday at the latest as the Challenge final is next Saturday !!! It also looks as if FIM EUROPE and One sport have altered the number of qualifiers from the challenge going to the SEC series proper to 5 from 7- which gives them 5 picks for the 4 round finals.

I have just read it`s Franc - why ?? Edit think I have found out that it`s only 2 from each federation allowed.

In addition to the above 3 we have the following 9 who have made it through from today`s meetings. Michelsen kildemand Franc Lindback Huckenbeck Krcmar Karpov Loktajev Pavlic

There has been a change and the Friday 4th May Gniezno v Lodz match has been moved to Sunday 6th May and is NOT ON LIVE TV

Announced attendance last night at Leszno 13500

Ilja Czalow, Andriej Kudriaszow and krystian Pieszczek were the 3 qualifiers Presumably 3 wildcards at the final plus 1 Italian rider WC(if they don`t get anyone through by right.)

Sadly at 43 Pepe I believe is only going one way and that`s downwards. Should finish above Grudziadz however- 2nd from bottom.

Poland v Denmark starts at 3pm local time on the Sunday

Did you see earlier the link to the live you tube of rzeszow practising this afternoon- who wants to watch that !!!!

Great ride by the ZG reserve, and Dudek takes a lot of credit for protecting him so well.

Sportowefakty saying crowd is 11000

Not easy watching 2 matches at once

Maniak hasn`t missed a beat all evening.

Lovely evening in Leszno i`m watching here http://www.maniak.tv/kanal-7 also on here http://www.drhtv.com.pl/transmisja-38310.html

Glad he got up ok from that.- Yellow unlucky to be excluded !! all 4 back for me.

I forgot that the SEC scoring format would be used in the qualifiers- top 2 to final and next 4 in semi with top 2 into the final.

Another massive crowd in Lublin !!

As Leszno are at home tonight- here is their 2018 pricing structure(about 5 ZL to the £) https://unia.leszno.pl/ksul2017/2018/04/18/36616/

Hoping for a you tube link just before the lublin v Rybnik match starts. I have a decent Eleven 2 picture on http://www.maniak.tv/kanal-2 it`s also on http://v4.ustreamix.com/stream.php?id=eleven-sports-2-poland&v=1524484509 It`s a nice day in Rzeszow- their training session is live here

Yes Stadia UK

Weather forecasts appear to be ok for Lublin and Leszno today- cloudy / sunny intervals- no rain forecast.

I have just had a look and Cardiff is ridiculous money- there are a few hotels in Newport for under £100 which is what I would suggest. For the last few years I have trained it from Reading and ok last year it rained but have always got on the 8.26 pm train no problem- which has reminded me that the train tickets go on sale next week. Edit last train from Cardiff to Newport is 23.18 arr 23.35
