Leszno SWC race-off Friday 7th July- English https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9jFAKadXiY Polish short version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sN9_2nc3mo

Does he know Dudek

Latest from the track- had thunderstorms at lunchtime, now drying up and becoming fresher and likelihood of rain dying out.

Then I`m sure the FIM would have a double header on Sunday- probably noon local for the race-off and 7pm local for the final The stadium would have to be cleared after the 1st match, so that Ticket holders for race-off and final could be differentiated.

Regs state that in the event of today being off it will be run tomorrow and the final on Sunday- and if tomorrow`s final is off then it will be on Sunday.

If you include a " joker" into the comp- the forum will go into meltdown !!!!!

I think I might just have answered my own query- talk about leaving things to the last minute-an amendment issued yesterday !!!!!!! Team composition and the Riders shall be the same 4 or 5 riders that were entered on the SWC team declaration form, Teams will have the chance to select new Rider starting numbers for the Race Off and Final. This must be submitted in writing 24 hours after the colour Draw for Race Off and Final is conducted. No changes to any declared Teams will be permitted throughout the SWC except in the case of injury or illness, supported by a Medical Certificate where necessary, and approved by the International Jury. Where the International Jury approves such changes, the replacement Rider will occupy the original Rider’s place in the nominated Team.

So what do you make of the rule I quoted- what`s going on at the FIM !!!!!!

Gustrow line-up and riding order announced Official starting list: 1. Vaclav Milik #13 (Czech Rep.) 2. Przemysław Pawlicki #59 (Poland) 3. Adrian Miedziński #20 (Poland) 4. Andreas Jonsson #100 (Sweden) 5. Krzysztof Kasprzak #507 (Poland) 6. Andzejs Lebedevs #129 (Latvia) 7. Martin Smolinski #84 (Germany) 8. Kai Huckenbeck #16 (Germany)- wildcard 9. Mateusz Szczepaniak #58 (Poland) 10. Nicolai Klindt #29 (Denmark) 11. Kacper Gomólski #44 (Poland) 12. Grigorij Laguta #7 (Russia) 13. Nicki Pedersen #12 (Denmark) 14. Leon Madsen #66 (Denmark) 15. Kenneth Bjerre #91 (Denmark) 16. Artem Laguta #2 (Russia) 17. Erik Riss (Germany) 18. Mathias Bartz (Germany)

Thanks - don`t know what`s going on- but Latvia and Australia have changed their riding order against the rules !!!!!!

We saw that- I think it was Morgan Andersson.

DGT- can you link where this line-up came from ?

I need to quote the rule again from the FIM regs "FMN’s shall nominate their complete Team (Including host FMN), with each Rider’s starting number on the official SWC Team declaration form, no later than 7 days before the first Event 1 of the SWC Final Tournament. The names and composition of the declared teams will remain confidential and must not be disclosed by the FMN or their representatives to the media or any other party until announced by FIM or the SWC Promoter FMN’s may nominate a U21 Rider who is the same nationality as FMN. This rider will be allocated starting number 5, allowed to practice and will be a Reserve, permitted to take the place of a rider 1-4 at any time during the meeting. The nomination and use of an U21 Rider is not compulsory. The U21 reserve will be entitled to be used in a maximum of 5 heats (Including heats 17-20) plus one additional heat as a Tactical Substitute or Tactical Joker. If replacing the injured Rider in the rerun of a heat, the U21 Rider will also assume the status of the replaced Rider (ie. programmed ride, Tactical Joker or Tactical Substitute). The Team composition and the Rider’s starting numbers for each event shall be the same 4 or 5 riders that were entered on the SWC team declaration form, No changes to any declared Teams or starting numbers will be permitted throughout the SWC except in the case of injury or illness, supported by a Medical Certificate where necessary, and approved by the International Jury. Where the International Jury approves such changes, the replacement Rider will occupy the original Rider’s place in the nominated Team. The International Jury will issue a list, including the Team compositions and the draw colour, as soon as possible after the completion of the previous event. (See Art. 078.3.5)" The relevant bit is that the replacement rider lines up in the place of the replaced rider.

Hundreds !!

If i am right that Morris rode at 3 on Saturday ? Then that is where Masters has to ride

It would be a farce because the refs would just hold the tapes even longer trying to catch them- in turn more exclusions and therefore delays

Don`t forget the prize money is cr&p- hard enough splitting it between 5 let alone 7 !!!!!
