More exciting than the racing served up tonight, ruts and all.

No Dave but it wasn’t a thriller. A couple of decent races but overall, and for the standard of riders on display, there was an awful lot of follow the leader. You did your best to make it sound exciting but compared to the meeting at Gdansk at the weekend this was dull. Just my opinion and others are bound to disagree.

Absolute garbage meeting. Really been poor entertainment in general from the Polish Extraleague so far this season. Thought it was utterly boring.

Was heavy showers. Looks like we are not going to see anymore though. Gone to Extraleague meeting instead though looking at the wide angle shot, rain showers are close by here as well.

Rain

Daugavpils are putting up a decent fight.

Yes! Thought it was Lee for a moment.

I most certainly haven’t watched Lee’s crash and never would. Neither would I watch any sport fatality clip online or nowhere else. I also have never watched darcy’s crash and never would. Crashes are part of the sport but other than catching it live, if I never of a fatality or bad injury I steer well clear. I don’t have a morbid interest in watching riders get killed or injured.

The crash was so bad, and the rider clearly unconscious. No way should replays be played over and over. What if it was a fatality? I even heard someone laughing. TV companies should show more restraint. As for Orlat, well he is clearly affected and making up the numbers. Meeting is over for Bydgoszcz.

Horrendous

What a fantastic meeting.

Best racing I have ever seen at Gdansk. Top notch heat 13.

Glad to see Jackobsen starting to fulfil his potential. Great race with Kildemand.

Much better meeting than the first. Both teams evenly matched. starts reserves useless by Jackobsen trying his gears out at number 8. Did all the work passing Gomolski and then ran out of track. Could go down to the last heat.

Two good races in the last three heats featuring the same three riders.

Pioro looked in the pace in both his aborted races, yet not used again. Why not? Polish team managers don’t seem very good in general.

Bloody hell a speedway race broke out in heat 13. Good action. Again Jelenieski shouldn’t have been near the heat.

Agree. Doesn’t want to mix it in the first bend. Time is up as a rider, same as Walasek.

What a poor start. Might get this finished tonight! Pioro having a mare. Kurtz rusty, Easy Torun win. Been rubbish racing so far this weekend. Hope today’s meetings are an improvement over yesterday’s rubbish.

Two absolute rubbish meetings today. Has there been a good race? Terrible racing. Zzzzzz

If a GP rider wins this, the first non GP rider should get the spot. Otherwise what’s the point? Madsen is currently the best rider in the world. Best rider, best bikes, means he wins. No point in offering a GP berth to the winner if the field already includes GP riders. How is that going to help up and comers?

If a rider like Kurtz cannot get a ride for his club, can Rybnik offer him a berth? He needs to earn a wage so cannot be refused by Leszno, surely?

Two rubbish Polish meetings today. Neither thrilling at all. Not sure why people have told Dave Goddard it could have been a last heat decider. Always likely to be the outcome, as was Leszno thrashing a woefully weak Rybnik. For a league of 8 teams which is the strongest in the world, a team like Rybnik should not exist.

Freesports has vanished off my freesat box. Any ideas?

25% my arse.
