racers and royals

Have just read that Poland are racing Denmark on Sunday May 13th - the day after the Warsaw GP. The venue has not been announced yet.

No because then you would have him and Hancock as no 7- the reserves are no`s 15-20. Why they are not 13-18 I don`t quite know(6 pairs only) Edit looking at the draw I posted earlier I think he is 15 not 17 and the reserves are in fact numbered 13-18

Max Fricke has been added to the Starkom team for Sunday and will wear the 17 race jacket

Practice session is at 10am on Sunday- Onesport are saying the track looks great !!!

Same live coverage as in Poland- 18 heats in 2 hours should be possible if they get on with it !!

Not quite what I meant but there again we are talking about Eurosport editing !!!!! - the best outcome could be Eurosport 1 at 7pm might be available to slot the programme in( 3 hours if needed) Only 18 heats so you are definitely wrong

Looks as if the best we will have is "delayed live" as even Eurosport.pl have live action on both their channels already on Sunday afternoon.

Yes Europe are forwarding an hour at the same time as the Uk so the time difference remains the same.

Wroclaw have said that the 2 registrations for Woffinden and Fricke will be done in the next couple of days- not any problem with either of them.

Live coverage on Eurosport 1 at 5pm on Saturday 24th March from Torun with Dave Rowe and Sam Ermolenko trackside.

No not yet - I check daily- it surely will be announced soon.

Some major problems with the construction of the new stadium in lodz- the project is behind schedule for the June opening- Lodz are riding the 1st 7 Nice Polska league matches away from home and the owner has said it has to be ready to run the 1st home match on the 9th/10th June.

Rule book here http://www.britishspeedway.co/2018_speedway_regulations_online.pdf

Hope it makes them feel better

Recent PZM communication showing which riders are attached to which teams in 2018(don`t know why Woffinden isn`t listed with Wroclaw) item 1 is interesting as it says that the riders listed there are currently suspended. https://www.pzm.pl/pliki/komunikat/gksz/2018-03/22854/komunikat32018.pdf

Tickets went on sale in October !!!! I wouldn`t pay that much !!!! top level is ok- you can see everything that matters. 1st bend 89 zl compared to 599

Offical FIM video Berlin 3rd/4th March

If you go on here https://www.kupbilet.pl/index.php?url=sgp2018 and hover on the sections you will be able to see what`s left.

There is no agreement yet on the Swedish league being shown on TV in Sweden- C More could well be not interested any more. So until a contract is signed there is no chance of Poland and the UK getting a feed. I believe that all the matches are likely to be available on a pay internet stream- which hopefully at least will mean we in the Uk will be able to purchase.
