Best view I’ve ever experienced at a speedway track at Craven Park, sitting in that big stand on the home straight was awesome.

Well done Doyle for leaving Zmarzlik racing room, refreshing to see.

Too good for the UK second division!

Good racing in that first meeting despite the score, really good track that. One of those however where the home team are so good, bike set up must come into it somewhere, they look so much faster than the opposition whichever part of the track they are on. Reserves ridiculously good too, the heat 2’s at Leszno are a foregone conclusion. You imagine Lambert will be in demand for 2021.

Laguta lacks aggression and track craft when behind. Needs to smarten up and toughen up to be WC for me.

1996.

I have always thought this.

I thought the first meeting wasn’t too bad, unfortunately any Rybnik meeting is a forgone conclusion which takes some of the jeopardy out of it. Robert needs to start gating like he was in the first part of the season and in the SEC on a regular basis if he wants to move up to the next level.

He could have settled for second but (when he can be bothered) KK is a speedway racer and their instinct is to try and come first. We chastise enough riders for not trying to race or being gating tarts, it was just one of those things that happens in speedway unfortunately. Get well soon Adam.

I’ve gradually been falling out with the GP’s over the last year or two and the result of this meeting doesn’t look like it will be helping with that at all.

Enjoyed that, Kumla is a good race track. Jeppesen looks a very decent prospect.

Good old Geoffrey and his Belle Vue bias.

What did he do in 2004?

I saw Woffinden making plenty of effort, his gating was just too poor and Gorzow were just too quick tonight. Pretty dismal performance by Wroclaw though it has to be said, terrible out of the start.

Rafal Innkeeper is my favourite

Ryan Fisher Tommy Allen Andre Compton Troy Batchelor Chris Holder Nicki Pedersen

Artem yes, Grigory absolutely not. One of the most exciting riders in the league.

Lublin the best team to watch, Laguta and Michelsen are proper racers. Pity the track didn’t have a little more grip.

Holder has been excellent this year for Gorzow but it should be remembered he is a couple of years older than Lambert Which is pretty significant for younger riders IMO (ie 25 and under). Robert was sensational up to winning the SEC including his starting but it seems he has gone off the boil a little since then....maybe the SEC was his main focus and winning it has taken its toll on him mentally. Can’t be easy riding in a poor team every week either. Rather than picking too many bones out of his performance tonight I’d say scoring ten away from home in Poland is pretty good for a young Brit against much more experienced riders. It’s commonplace for good riders to get blown away in the extraliga here and there so I wouldn’t dwell on it too much if I were him.

Enjoyed those two meetings. Sublime ride by Woffinden to ensure the win at the end there. Sayfutdinov a different gravy once again, surely he has a World Title in him.

Fisher I think? And Sundstrom at P’boro. orion hit the nail on the head with his post.

Very impressed with Norbert Krakowiak every time I see him ride. Does he have a relative who rode for Ipswich in 1993?

Of course he might say balls to it and not bother to come on here and keep people informed.

Some people are ignorant, don’t understand speedway and are unwilling to wait and see. Was blatantly obvious after 2018 that last year was a blip even though he showed up well in some GP’s. His talent is there for all to see now if it wasn’t before.

I’d suggest it’s inevitable, if not next year the very soon. Fair play to him if he thinks that’s the best way forward, wouldn’t get any criticism from me.
