Col

He seemed to have lost his enthusiasm for the sport in interviews, his average was poor in Championship & Polish National League compared to previous seasons. Can he find it again? Unsure.

Then every team should be on the phone to Lahti & Thorssell. All this it is doing is forcing British riders loyal to British Speedway out of the top league. Good call BSPA.

The Polish quality rider production line is not what it was. Zmarzlik is now 31 since he exploded onto the scene only Woryna (30), Kubera (27), Ceirniak (24), Przyjemski (21) & Pawełczak (17) have potential been world class. Denmark's looks better.

Krzysztof Buczkowski continues to ride. And he was a Reading Racer, Kołodziej was a Bulldog wasn't he?

So Nilsson finished 4th in the Polish National League (3rd tier) in 2026, higher than Ellis, Flint, Masters & Lawson. Also finished 9th in the Bauhausligan (Elitserien) averages higher than Dudek & Woffinden. How on earth can he be on a 4.50 assessed average, it's preposterous! Are Thorssell, Milik & Lahti also available on such ridiculous assessed averages as they only rode in the National League last year?

Nilsson last rode in British League for Leicester in 2017 where he averaged 7.05, as a current GP rider if he is not retaining that average he should surely be on an assessed 8.50. Unfortunately I can't see Erik Riss doing many meetings with his health issues.

So this is rubbish - https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/1280650/zuzel-brytyjczycy-stawiaja-sprawe-jasno-lambert-przed-wazna-decyzja

Swindon would be Doyles home of choice.

Hoping Lemon being Team Roo Boss will mean BV get Beau Bailey. British Speedway do not have 12 riders under the age of 21 that are going to be competitive, no Poles are coming our way, I guess a few Swedes may, but Sweden hasn't produced a decent rider for a long time. Danes will go to Poland and it is they that seem to have the best production line. Hoping Lemon can pull a Beau Bailey out the bag. If you really think the Witches team with Bewley & Doyle consuming 17+ of your 37 points and then King & Cairns consuming a further 11. You need to go look at the averages, you are left with nothing viable to choose from for 2 reasonable riders I don't know who'd sign Lambert on 9.4ish average but he has to ride in the UK if he wants to represent us on the world stage. AFAIK. I'd hope he signs for Kings Lynn or Northampton.

Nilsson is in the GP's next year, he'd be 8.50.

I see, that rules Kileen out too.

What 3.77

Or maybe not.

Andy Graham was good at Monmore & Brandon. Which was useful for a Cradley rider. Handberg finished third when Havelock won the title at Wroclaw, it was very damp that day. That was a fluke!

Are they really sticking to the U24 in the 1-5 being Polish too?

Don't really get Lambert's issue, why would a Swedish team sign him anyway when he couldn't be bothered to turn up for the Vastervik playoff final meetings which cost them the title. I can't imagine that attitude will be appealing for any Swedish teams, his best bet for a second league to Poland in 2027 is Premiership.

Can't be bothered to read whole thread. My theory on Aces 2027 is... Kurtz Zishcke Blodorn Brennan Bewley Bailey Cairns

That guest MM booking was absurd.

Holy Christ, that wouldn't have got the occasional fan to turn up if it was. They were proper intimidating on a Bank Holiday Monday. Sam Ermolenko couldn't ride Cradley until 91 when he became almost unbeatable around Dudley Wood until closed, Simon Cross broke his back in 90, he was never quite the same after that. Both at their peak would have been duel. In the mid 90's when time Hamill & Hancock were at the top of their game, Cradley were better at Monmore v/s Wolves than they were at Dudley Wood. Andy's Philips & Graham were also tidier around Monmore than Dudley Wood and Scott Smith would inadvertently take some Wolves rider out at some point so going around him wasn't an option, not that overtaking him on the inside was difficult.

Well class rose to the top, Tiges didn't have a (none Kings Lynn rider) who could compete with Aces top two. But Belle Vue riders threw so many points away not committing to the wide line, it was ridiculous, to go fast you can't just touch the wide line you have to go deep into it or not at all. The choice of guest for Belle Vue was bizarre, why not go with RR? Blodorn left Holder & Flint in his wake in his second ride then changed his bike for his third ride, why? The Ipswich throttle monkey judges can shut up. Kurtz, Fricke & Doyle rode the quickest line all night and won by mile when they hit the front. But Zischke & Cook won the meeting for Belle Vue but they kept switching lines when they didn't hit the front.

And most of them are absolutely hopeless. Pawelczak & Malkiewicz are the only ones to finish higher in SGP2 than Cairns other than the aforementioned Przyjemski. Paluch is the only one to have averaged above 1.500 (6.00 in our terms). If they start promoting the likes of Kawczyński, Ratajczak, Bańbor & Hurysz into the U24 positions the standard of the league is going to deteriorate, immensely. Apparently the rules for #8 / #16 are changing so it's only Poles U21 (if Google AI is to be believed) which is a good thing, no more b******s like Gorzow used this year with Pollestad appearing in every heat except the named (probably anonymous, certainly ride less rider named in the U24 position) as well as a few others. So what will happen? Cierniak (Lublin) & Przyjemski (Bydgoszcz) will be deployed as genuine riders in the U24 position, the other 6 teams will name a none existent PZM licensed entity in that position. The best Polsih U21 rider each team can muster will be deployed as #8 / #16 to take those rides (and a few others). Then the rest of the junior positions will be filled up by the best 8 none PZM licensed riders and a bunch of uncompetitive Poles. And we moan about guests.

I fail to see how Janowski justifies a wildcard, he was appalling in the Ekstraliga playoffs. Second in SEC so qualifies because SEC Champion Madsen was top 7 in GPs. Meh. For captain post allot twit you only have Laguta & Sayfutdinov to blame for their lack of SGP inclusion since they ride on PZM licenses - their choice. PZM don't enter them in competitions. They could ride on Latvian licenses but then they'd be classified as foreign seniors for Ekstraliga team building. I'm not sure Sayfutdinov has overtaken Adams as the best rider to never been World Champion in my life time. Darcy Ward versus Zmarzlik could have been amazing. Hancock & Doyle probably wouldn't agree.

Cierniak & Przyjemski are the only two Polish Ekstraliga standard riders aged over 21 but under 24 when the 2027 season starts. That rule can't remain it is simply not feasible.

You can blame Google AI, that's what it told me.
