Being an Aussie, I thought it was a great match and result.☺️ But you have a point, despite being a magnificent venue and track looking great in pics and viewing, it did not seem to provide much actual racing/passing. Although the 'neutral' track issue is a step in the right direction away from the common slick offerings Poland is noted for and that most Poles thrive on.

Loved that, somebody shout Charles a beer for the wonderful job he did on that nut.

I cant listen to the pair of tools. Non stop relentless gibberish, I watched most of the meeting with sound off.

Very disappointing meeting, especially given the supposed increased banking, widened corners and shale surface changes. Track certainly didn't show the multiple racing lines and improved racing that was the intent of the changes. Doesn't auger well for tonite where I had been expecting a first class GP on the back of track improvements.

Gomonchuk site has this scheduled, maybe not live though. https://www.youtube.com/@gomonchik/streams

Is HBO Max the sole option for live online viewing?

Is this meeting on a temporary track, or have Warsaw now got a permanent speedway track?

Great meeting, enjoyed it, track was good. Congrats to Lambert, I'm not a fan but a deserved win on the wave of recent excellent form. Missed opportunity by Brady, with a rare meeting in which BZ didn't get setup right. Thought Fricke was stiff and deserved a better outcome, he needs to keep finding form to lock in a top 7 or he wont be there next year.

Woryna knocked on his *ss. Maybe karma is real.

Bordering on, if not dangerous.

Hell of a lot of incidents and getting off the bike. Is the track not in good condition?

Doyle and Fricke aren't yet replaced. Excluding Holder, who will continue to slip down the order, Fricke is currently 7th in standings, and two points off 5th place. Doyley faces a tougher situation being 12 points off 7th place. With 4 GP's to go quite a bit can change below the top 3/4 who have a buffer over the rest. Who has been replaced at this stage, and will remain replaced, is Parnitski and Kubera. I take your earlier point about the Aussie Quals being tricky, it must be a right pain in the proverbial for the better riders to have to come back here, bring motors/bikes for a one week ordeal involving 4 meetings spread over thousands of miles. Great for fans but very tough on riders and no doubt an expensive exercise, and at the present stage, there are 10 Aussies good enough on our tracks to be viable chances for one of the too few 3 or 4 allocations. As a number of us have commented on in this thread, the qualifying system has a number of flaws in it and does not assure that we wind up with the best 15/16 riders in the world. Its more of a junket for 2nd and 3rd tier riders than a serious attempt to discern the genuine top echelon of riders. There are more intelligent options, some of which have been bounced around in this thread, but unfortunately, intelligence doesn't seem to be a feature in the decisions of FIM and organizational levels of speedway.

Hard to see Denmark not winning the Latvian semi. Will be an interesting weekend at Riga. Track has had a major overhaul, corners widened, camber almost doubled and a new oil shale surface, intent being to open up racing lines and improved racing. Lets hope they've been successful, basically it will be a new track for all riders.

Weird that, they both are in decent form elsewhere, capabilities not in question, yet never seem to come to terms with the track. With Zmarzlik in the team who is an absolute genius at reading conditions and getting bike setup spot on. Don't they communicate?

Yes, bring back 6 man Test Matches.
