I don't watch BSN so didn't see the original running, but that exclusion was a complete non-event. Rushen moves slightly wider to avoid his teammate, he doesn't even run Etheridge to the fence. Can you imagine Etheridge in an Ekstraliga first turn? I know he wouldn't be within 50ft of any other rider, but if he thinks that's hard riding...!

What sort of injury allows a rider to ride on a Monday and Thursday, but not the Wednesday in between? Presumably it wasn't that serious as he was well involved at Belle Vue, and clearly it wasn't a non-speedway injury otherwise he'd have been banned (right?).

The right answer depends on what the question is. If it's to sign someone who'll turn up every week then it is absolutely the right answer. It's a shame as I rate Dan Thompson, but what a sad state of affairs that he's sat in the pits without even getting a ride while his 'other' club, in his home country, are left without him. Another one where you'd never see a Pole in the same situation.

Sounds like a good idea on the face of it. Poland/Ekstraliga do very little wrong and a hell of a lot right, so why not learn from them? Fair play to Coleman/Ipswich for trying. I've wondered for years if there could be some sort of feeder system between British and Polish clubs. Polish clubs could send youngsters, and maybe even the odd top rider here, British clubs could push their best youngsters towards the Polish club. Who knows, we might even get away from riders being attached to multiple clubs/countries one day.

Agreed. They've tried to make it an 'event' but not bothered to actually do anything that makes it interesting. We watched one last year at Wroclaw, and while it was OK, it just felt like a glorified practice followed by a race. I'm not completely against the concept, but at least make it something worthwhile, if you're going to do it at all. It's also too early in the day, so it's not like you can keep yourself entertained around the stadium until the GP starts. Not really worth a tram/taxi/walk there and back for 60 seconds of action.

Nope! Long way to go though 😉

Fair play to Bartosz, superb ride. The title race goes on!

Straight through to the final

This is not the Bartosz of old. Whatever he can offer, Kurtz has an answer to. Kurtz is nailed on for this title.

Just realised he's got to pronounce the two reserves names for the next hour.

It's a shame it's going to be curtailed because of something pretty much unrelated to the track conditions. Their hard work deserved a lot more. Usually one of the rounds of the season as well.

Perhaps, not too dissimilar to Doyle's first ride.

Another left turn from Doyle, Woryna continued in a straight line from gate one. Fingers crossed Holder isn't too badly hurt.

Ray Von's got it wired up to the lamppost outside. We're back in business.

"this will take a few minutes to explain" ???? Look at man with green flag. Man move flag. Go.

If it's done anything then it seems to have perked Bartosz up. I don't think I've seen him this animated in the last 10 years of GPs.

Will be sods law to sit through all this and they put the rounders on just as heat 1 starts.

Tomorrow from Annie would be apt for this one

Something so very speedway about a giant car wash brush gliding around the track while Purple Rain is pumped out. So cinematic. It truly is one sport, whether it's a GP at Wroclaw or an amateur meeting on the Isle of Wight, and it's why we all love it.

God forbid that we have a completely level playing field, Olly. On this stage of all things.

They're adamant to get this done tonight. If this was 10 years ago it'd have been moved to tomorrow morning and everyone would be in the pub.

Kelvin and Olly have called it off as a bad job. We're left with a view of a wet track and Poland's Eurovision entries on a loop.

Heatwave and bone dry in the UK and yet Poland serve up this farce. Should've had it at Buxton instead.

I still don't think there's as much water on that track as there is when Morris usually waters it. 😆
