Yeah true. Gorzów also have 3 SGP riders and paluch who is a superstar Polish rider at only 19 yr old.

Nah not really, they know he is the best rider right now and more proud that he is from Gorzów than being sad he wins races. Bigger picture is that Zmarzlik can’t win a meeting on his own so they always have a chance if they fight in the other races.

He would always be fast on his home track. But granted, he does know what to do at the right moments… always!

I don’t think that comment is implacable as he got shut out and was on the receiving end of a 5-1 in his first race.

Team riding at its finest.

Always horrible to watch the rider follow the bike into the air fence.

Yeah all Four back and both ok.

19:10 - 19:15 lebedevz and paluch will test the track

Oh my god haha my partner just translated for me the studio talk on TV and they said this is the same reference as Częstochowa vs Wrocław ! Oh dear haha

Rain is due now, if it doesn’t fall within the next 17 minutes then they are going to remove the cover and start track prep.

No fajfer today due to his crash against GKM, Bednar will take his place.

19:15 is unofficial start time (UK). No rain currently in Gorzów but they expect rain to come back soon and are waiting for it to pass.

Nah I’m not saying it was amazing speedway, but I think British speedway and English people are really negative. For one positive post here you’ll see ten negative. It isn’t Polish speedway, we don’t have tracks, riders, stadia, facilities, money etc here in Britain. It is what it is, with the above mentioned and the fact the guesting system is flawed (I was annoyed that Brennan was helping our rivals!) we just have to take whatever we have and try and make it work. All I’m saying is at least we still have speedway, people can be moa about it all they want, but you’ll be moaning more in 10 years when the sport doesn’t exist here, like all things in life, enjoy it whilst it’s here.

On a positive, and not to be horrid to the other riders, but I am slightly happy I didn’t see lambert or Hume in the line up, as harsh as that sounds.

I still believe if we had thompson we could cover RR almost as if Doyle wasn’t there, don’t get me wrong you can’t replace him and you want him at every meeting but to have Thompson as someone you can switch between heats is a game changer the way he rides. My fear is when he returns he isn’t 100%, I remember King struggling when he returned from a hand injury. We need to just take whatever we can and be super patient so we don’t rush them back. Doyle is riding in Manchester though! Good news as long as it isn’t a rush job back again for him!

Not trying to upset everyone here on the forum but I wouldn't say this is the main fan base for speedway, it’s just a voice for a few fans, half the people on here pick and choose meetings and aren’t loyal ‘every week go to support your home club’ fan. FYI I go to every home match at foxhall and try to go to what I can away again… people can decide to go to what they want, this isn’t a dig at anyone, just got to take everyone’s comments on here with a pinch of salt and don’t think this is the same view of the mass people who go to meetings.

It’s due to rain in Gorzów when the race start at 18:15 UK time.

Saturday looking good to be fair, Friday hit and miss!

Some SGP’s don’t spoil us

Chris Louis went down the track a few races back and told Brennan “it’s ok Sheffield have lost so ride normal now” !!

Yeah for sure it’s more complicated than I care to look into to find out if I’m honest haha it’s like premier league teams qualifying for European trophies this season!

I genuinely don’t know how everyone gets all the qualification places to that extent.

Why hasn’t fricke gone is my question? Am I missing something?

Preferred to focus on his individual achievements go to Germany for SGP 2026 qualification.

But there isn't more than 7 world class riders in the series this year is there? Politics stopped two of the best being entered or even giving them a chance to qualify. People need to realise SGP isn't the best of the best, its about trying to accommodate and be inclusive of all riders for various nationalities to make it appealing to BS countries who don't have the calibre of riders to warrant being in the SGP. I pay money to 'try' and watch the best beat the best. SGP isn't that... Poland's club meetings have better races than the Grand Prix so that tells you everything you need to know about the Grand Prix. It's basically a European tour of Speedway with a few of the best riders in the world.
