  1. I'd be surprised if Wroclaw don't win the League tbh, No chance of Gorzow going down as they're better than both Grudziadz and Czestochowa imo.
  2. Should do but as proven tonight, Ability hasn't meant anything because it's a gating contest. Thomsen's been flying and then he got outgated and 5-1'd in a crucial Heat.
  3. Not disrespectful at all, Wroclaw are a much better team than Gorzow but the track has taken racing out of the equation to a point where it's a gating contest. No track to ride, Go wide = Go backwards.
  4. Even Kurtz goes backwards on the outside line. Proof that having the best riders on show still doesn't produce the best racing.
  5. Track has made this a 50/50 meeting with 5 Heats to go, Who's going to step up and take the points for their team? Laguta or Przedpelski?
  6. Don't think anyone saw Laguta's struggles coming tonight, You'd think he'd feel right at home on an ultra slick gate and go track.
  7. Back-to-back 5-1's and then conceded a 5-1 to Wroclaw's weakest pairing.
  8. Czestochowa wouldn't win a meeting in the British PREMIERSHIP let alone the Polish Ekstraliga. The worst 1-7 I've ever seen in the Polish top flight.
  9. Leicester were my dark horse pick before a wheel was turned this season, I've been lapping their 1-7 up for a good few weeks now and last night's result isn't that much of a surprise to me. The last time we had a weaker PREM, It was won by a strength in depth side and that's the route the Lions have opted for this year. Sheffield as I said when the 1-7 was announced are a boom or bust outfit, If Flint and Etheridge ride well then it's BOOM! but if they ride poorly then it's BUST! literally no inbetween and we've seen the good and the bad already. Sheffield are still my pick for the title but the tail end has to be consistent and back the Top 3 up.
  10. Lots of excuses being made for underperforming EU riders imo, British tracks require skills while Polish carpet rugs don't. Polish carpet rug tracks make a cluster of bang average riders look like GP superstars but if you get those riders on a technical British track that requires actual skills then most of them will get exposed by riders like Richard Lawson and Sam Masters just to name a couple.
  11. I don't think it's a lack of effort tbh, I personally think he's been vastly overrated by some fans due to him being handed a GP wildcard as part of a nationality box ticking exercise. Jan has even lost his place in the Polish top league and has dropped down a league this year after being part of Torun's title winning team in 2025.
  12. 100% agree. Cooper being a No.6 at PREM level doesn't benefit him as a Rider at all imo when everyone else has started their PREM experience as a No.7 when being part of the Rising Star Scheme, Riders like Brennan, Flint, Rowe, D. Thompson etc. Cooper Rushen has been thrown to the Wolves imo.
  13. Great result, Every Rider getting at least a paid win this time. Take a bow Tom Brennan, From Rising Star to No.1 who beat GP Rider Max Fricke 2-1 in a Head-to-Head battle around the AFA is some achievement. Never rated King's Lynn before a wheel was turned and if Jan Kvech continues his downward spiral at King's Lynn then the Stars may even finish behind Northampton once the League gets underway because the Stars tail end is simply out of it's depth at this level. Pressure on young Cooper Rushen is ridiculous and it could hinder his progress and knock his confidence imo.
  14. King's Lynn having to use 2 Tac Sub Rides over 2 Meetings against a Team that doesn't have an out an out No.1. Going to be a long season for the Stars.
  15. Richard Lawson is such an underrated rider on British tracks. He's been ultra consistent for many years.
  16. Just goes to show that the King's Lynn's management don't truly believe in their 1-7. Busters practice session will more than likely pay off tonight now though.
  17. Nicholls @ No.4 is baffling to me, Should be @ No.2 and then he can face Paco twice.
  18. Spot on. Nobody is going to throw money at Speedway over here because it's way down the pecking order when it comes to a list of priorities. England/UK compete to an Elite level standard at most sports and that's why certain Sports get the big money TV deals like Football, Rugby, Darts etc. Where's Poland is the complete opposite, Pretty much a talentless country when it comes to Sports outside of Speedway and voleyball hence why the TV companies will throw the zlotys at Speedway.
  19. If the track is grippy then it should suit PHB down to the ground. Brennan, Lawson, Musielak and King can all win races around the AFA so Paco and the King's Lynn reserves will have to come to the party. I think this meeting is very difficult to predict on the night, I'll go with a King's Lynn victory in a tight meeting but Ipswich could easily win again if one of King's Lynn's Top 4 has an off night.
  20. After seeing everyone in the KOCUP perform, I'm very confident that this prediction is in the right ball park. 1. SHEFFIELD (Head and shoulders above everyone imo, Will wipe the floor with everyone at Home to a point where it's going to impossible to beat them over two legs imo) 2. BELLE VUE (Simply due to the Kurtz and Bewley factor, Rest of the team isn't much cop and Cook isn't a HL away from the NSS but Kurtz and Bewley put up so many points to a point where they'll see the Aces into the Grand Final imo where Sheffield will take them to the cleaners) 3-5 are all of similar standard who should win at home but they won't offer much away. 3. LEICESTER (Out of Ipswich, King's Lynn and Leicester, I think the Lions are the team that's most capable of picking up a few wins on the road and that's why I've got them in 3rd place) 4. IPSWICH (Nicholls is the weak link but overall Ipswich's 1-7 is a stronger unit than King's Lynn's who've got a very weak tail and it's effecitvely going to be a 4 Man King's Lynn team most weeks imo and that's no good because Kvech, Harris and Cook are all inconsistent these days) 5. KING'S LYNN (Got a No.1 but it's irrelevant as proven last night at Foxhall when losing by 10 Points and having to use a Tactical Ride due to the tail end not scoring any points against an opponent until Heat 14 and that should be the story of King's Lynn's season away from the AFA imo) The wooden spoon. 6. NORTHAMPTON (No Home track advantage really and no chance of winning away from home with the side they've assembled imo)
  21. Good Team Performance to get the season up and running, Every Rider getting at least a paid win apart from Nicholls but he'll get it right at home eventually imo. King's Lynn have problems already, No member of the tail end scored a point against an opponent until Heat 14. The youngsters will come good but the KL promotion are asking too much too soon imo as they're racing against riders who've got years of experience over them.
