I am just passing on information that I have been given. I don't have any evidence that would stand up in the court of law.

Thanks, I've just read online that you can run R/R for the top 3 in the play-offs. It's the top 2 in the regular season. Lots of conflicting information about the rules! If Wroclaw can run R/R for Janowski, they should get through vs Gorzow. Lublin on the other hand is a write-off.

He is the 3rd best rider in the Polish Ekstraliga.

You're wrong about the Russians. Eurosport have told the FIM that they are not happy with the viewing figures. The lack of title race has led to a sharp decline in viewership across Europe. The FIM reached out to Emil & Artem a few weeks ago and an agreement has been reached.

Polish media are reporting that Janowski has fractured his left wrist. If this is true then the Polish league play-offs have been ruined. Wroclaw are also not allowed to run R/R for Janowski as he is 3rd in the averages behind Bewley and Laguta. Can you confirm @racers and royals? I suspect Wroclaw may have enough to beat Gorzow, but they will get slaughtered in a 2 legged affair vs Lublin. The TV ratings will be dire and sponsors will feel sick. The PZM should do the right thing and allow special dispensation for Wroclaw to book a guest from the 2nd division. Somebody like Brady Kurtz for Maciej Janowski would give Wroclaw a fighting chance.

This delay could hand Wroclaw an advantage. Lublin will be cold going into the final.

When the wild cards get announced, don't act surprised.

If I was a BV fan, I would watch the first leg at home (save money). And then use the money saved to travel to Leicester to watch the 2nd leg. The first leg of a grand final isn't very special. In the 2nd leg, you could see your team celebrate the league title.

The TV broadcasters and sponsors have told the FIM to bring back Emil and Artem.

Disappointed to see price rises for the final. There is a cost of living crisis and many pensioners have lost their Winter Fuel Payments.

I don't think he's available but Janowski is the best rider who would fit as a guest for Cook at the NSS.

BV are very weak in heat 8.

Jack Holder has scored 2 points.

That was really poor from Edwards.

🤣

Seems like the bookmakers know more about Pickering than speedway fans.

Anyone surprised by the odds for a potential Lublin vs Wroclaw final? Lublin are 1/8 to win and Wroclaw are 5/1. The bookmakers think Lublin have a 89% chance of winning. Personally, I think that is far too high. Wroclaw beat Lublin by 8 points in the regular season and Bewley scored 2/3 points in that meeting. Unlike Emil, Laguta doesn't struggle to gate, so a slick Lublin track won't catch him out.

The last time Zmarzlik rode against a genuine world class rider in the GPs, this is what happened.

Laguta would be a fantastic signing.

Artem Laguta is in his prime.

Commentators seem to be implying that Zmarzlik has surpassed Gollob. What nonsense. Gollob rode vs Rickardsson, Crump and Pedersen. Zmarzlik rides vs a bunch of bums. Zmarzlik has the benefit of not riding vs Artem Laguta.

Am I the only who thinks the quality of Polish speedway has declined massively? I remember the days when Tarnow had Hancock, Koldoziej, Vaculik and Madsen. Torun used to have Sullivan, Ward, Holder and Miedzinski. Zielona Gora used to have AJ, Pepe P, Dudek and Holta Each team used to have 4 world class riders.

They did that a few years ago. You had riders turning down spots in the GP series, just so they could earn mega bucks in Poland.

The only person who can stop Lublin is Artem Laguta.

What a one-sided beatdown. Say what you want about British Speedway but we don't get these one-sided matches in the play-offs.
