I have pmd you

Franky Zorn injured in practice yesterday. Aki Ala Riihimaki replaces him.

@secondbend - details here :-)

I've been working over the past few weeks to translate a series of in depth interviews with current and former riders from Polish to English for a new book published by the Polish website Po-Bandzie. These are now almost complete, and pre-orders are now being taken. The book will have more than 200 pages, and includes interviews with such well known faces as Artiom Laguta, Emil Sayfutdinov, Taylor Lanning, Martin Hagon, Erik Gundersen, Jan O Pedersen, Zenon Plech, Slawomir Drabik, Scott Nicholls, Egon Muller, Krzysztof Cegielski, Jeremy Doncaster, Reg Fearman, and many others. The cost of the book will be £16, with postage from Poland to the UK set at £8, making a total of £24. Po-Bandzie have also agreed to make a donation of 20% of the cost of the book to the Ben Fund, so you will be helping out our injured heroes by buying it. The book will be printed in time for posting around 10th December. This means it should make a fantastic Christmas present to all who order. For your copy, please email redakcja@po-bandzie.com.pl and payment will be arranged via PayPal or bank transfer in due course. Alternatively, PM me and I can put you in direct touch with the authors. Thank you.

It's now available to pre order. I'll make a post on the forum shortly.

Thanks Steve. I've replied.

I'm busy translating an interview with Zenon Plech from Polish to English that will be included in a book that will be printed in early December if anyone is interested. The book will have interviews with around 30 current and former riders, and it's being published by the Polish website Po-Bandzie. If anyone is interested in buying a copy, please PM me. Other riders interviewed include Emil Sayfutdinov, Erik Gundersen, Tommy Knudsen, Scott Nicholls, Egon Muller and lots of others.

As will I.

Is there any more info on this from PZM R&R? Seems to have gone quiet.

If you have a VPN and set it to Czech Republic, it works perfectly.

It pays to wait...literally!

That's not true. On 24th September, Scotland announced it was also scrapping that test for vaccinated travellers. See here: International travel testing updated - gov.scot (www.gov.scot)

Seifert-Salk replaced by Norick Bloedorn.

And it wasn't just full at Wrocław. This was at Ostrów whose capacity is 12,000 earlier in the day - rammed to the gunnels and an absolutely electric atmosphere.

There will be a YouTube video tomorrow, which I'm sure R&R will share. Unfortunately it only made it to heat 12 due to rain.

As everyone else above has said, a brilliant meeting from start to finish. Bit bemused at the snidey comments towards Woffy though. I'm no real fan of his but he is still truly world class often enough to fully deserve his new 3 year deal with Sparta, and I doubt there is a better all round team performer than him anywhere. His team riding and track awareness remains head and shoulders above any other current on track racer.

R&R... Is this still 5pm UK? I thought you had told me it would be 3pm UK..

Nonsense. His home track Lodz is small by Polish standards at 321m and has pretty tight bends too.

Not really. 14 matches for Lodz had produced an exact 6.00 average. As a comparison, Luke Becker, who could be described as one of the top riders in eWinner1 League and who is his team mate, has an 8.43 average.

Why not?
