Fascinating. I for one cannot wait for Saturday. I think Wroclaw will ride with no pressure and they could surprise a few.

Boris Johnson was born in America, would you say he was American or British? Artem is Polish. He has been nominated for the award of best Polish rider in the Ekstraliga.

Artem is basically saying he wants to ride in the GPs, but he wouldn't feel comfortable taking the spot of another Polish rider. Zmarzlik is very uncomfortable and keeps stuttering. I sense fear in Zmarzlik's voice.

It is riduculous that Artem can vote to choose the next president of Poland, but he can't ride a speedway bike for Poland.

Do anyone else think Wroclaw will split up Bewley and Laguta? I think they need to as the middle order is too weak. 1. Laguta 2. Gusts 3. Janowski 4. Kowalski 5. Bewley The above would be my riding order for the 2nd leg.

The FIM are quickly realising that sponsors and fans are not interested in a sporting event which is pre-determined. No Laguta = Zmarzlik guaranteed to win a title. I am told the FIM will allow Artem and Emil to compete under a neutral flag. The PZM are not keen on Artem and Emil riding under the Polish flag, as this could antagonize certain sections of the Polish population. Either way, it looks like we have a title race next season. I cannot wait to see the odds for next year, I think the bookmakers will underestimate Artem.

I agree, but the woke FIM will never allow that.

Laguta and Emil are both Polish riders. They should be in the GP series as Polish riders.

Tony Rickardsson has called on the FIM to allow Artem Laguta and Emil Sayfutdinov into the GP series. Pressure is mounting on the FIM from broadcasters and sponsors.

I have booked a flight for next weekend. I will be there to witness Laguta deliver the biggest comeback in speedway history.

Not over yet. Normally, a home defeat in the first leg means no chance. But when you have the best rider in the world, anything is possible. Artem needs to inspire the rest of his team at Lublin.

This meeting has ended the Zmarzlik vs Laguta debate.

Incrediby proud of Artem.

I think Bet365 have messed up with the Wroclaw vs Lublin odds. I am going big on Wroclaw £50 on Wroclaw to win £50 on Wroclaw to beat the -2 handicap £50 on Laguta to score over 12.

Bet365 have Laguta down as a -2 handicap vs Zmarzlik. I think that's the first time I have seen Zmarzlik as a underdog in a head to head. The bookmakers know Artem is the best rider in the world.

What has that got to do with Artem? When the USA invaded Iraq, I don't remember the FIM banning Hancock.

Just a reminder that Zmarzlik is 2nd in the Polish league averages. The idea he is the best rider in the world is laughable. The best rider in the world doesn't ride in the GPs.

Bartosz will need to be a lot better tomorrow evening. Artem is on a different level to the rest of the muppets in the GP series.

This was the last time Bartosz faced a challenge in the GP series:

So predictable. Who actually enjoys watching this? It's like a scripted drama. Artem is the only rider who can match Bartosz on speed.

This is supposed to be the climax of the series. We could have had Artem and Bartosz level on points going into this round. Instead we get a pointless coronation.

I will boycott all the GPs if Artem is not in the series.

It would be in the interest of speedway fans in Britain to not want Emil & Artem back in the GPs. If that happens, the chances of them gracing England with their presence is close to none.

We didn't get Laguta vs Zmarzlik in the GPs, but we're going to get it in the final of the Polish Ekstraliga. We're going to find out who the best rider in the world is.
