Decent meeting, Witches lack of heat 13 & 15 firepwoer was always going to be their undoing. Bewley having an off night and smart management by Hawkins putting King at #2 got Ipswich a deserved point. Bellegp deserved his heat 15 outing, he looked the most likely to lower the colours of Bjerre or Fricke to me. I did miss heats 9 & 10, so don't know what happened when Fricke was excluded & Harris' bike got damaged.

It must have been a few years since Danny King visited Perry Barr. Has the track changed at all since he (& I) last visited. I think the last time I visited Perry Barr was 2008. Is parking still encouraged on the shopping centre (Asda)?

Can't see Wroclaw beating Leszno. Woffinden, Janowski & Drabik won't score enough to win a meeting. Fricke could chip in but the others will struggle. I do think (hope) Leszno will lose away at Falubaz ZG.

So I'm pondering a return to Perry Barr after a long exile. Any electrical faults forecast for the area. Is Ellis riding? Guessing no on Howarth?

Couldn't watch today, looked at score after about 10 heats & didn't think Leszno could come back. But is there any stopping the Bulls in 2019?

I'm still in, whoo. I remember betting NKI more, I don't know how he did, other than he didn't make the semi's. Wasn't sure which two others I'd bet on.

Got home from Twickenham just in time to keep an eye on the last 5 heats while watching the Champions League final. The Woffinden/Zmarzlik encounter in the heats looked like a decent race, I was more intent on keeping a Beagle snout out of my Chinese. The rest of what I saw didn't seem great but glad Lambert made a semi again, good experience & for his confidence at the top tier. It will be available OD in morning, with watching?

Zmarzlik was very unlucky, not exactly sure what he was meant to do. On initial viewing I thought Doyle had she'd a chain.

Thought it was still going on as Torun v Gorzow got underway. Had been checking the SGP site between heats expecting results to appear. Laguta quickest, the Lindback & Madsen. Lindgren the slowest if the regulars who attended. #1 is reasonable draw for Lambert considering. Always out on a fresh track, reasonable time between heats.

When is the result of qualifying expected?

Zmarzlik's lost his gating gloves after looking like an absolute rocket in his 2nd ride.

Torun aren't finished yet.

If Kościuch is replaced by Holder again after that race with Zmarzlik it would be very harsh. Was lucky to be in the rerun mind.

Doyle overtaken by Kasprzak & Thomsen on his home track!? Doubt Ellis will get another ride. Way off the pace.

Heat 15 was awesome.

Wroclaw track much better than when I went!

Torun might actually get some points on the board.

Is the Rospiggarna track always that bad? That said Masarna were abject, couple of decent rides from Nilsson & the Russian aside. Lindback was absolutely awful.

At the end of the day one sport need an people to watch it to make any money. Not only in the stadiums but also on TV. Poland has the biggest audience. All countries have been given the chance to enter riders in the competition. Those who qualified did so on merit

Fairly sure the final 2 permanent Wildcards will be Poles, they have two events in Poland and only 2 Polish riders so far.

8th consecutive championship fro NKI? Which would beat the string of titles won by Olsen (67-73) but still leave Iversen 4 behind in total.

NKI £33 more Vaculik £33 more Sayfutdinov £34 more

Yeah, it sold out. Didn't get to go. I wish they'd said, I'd have gone to Lodz instead.

No where near as many there for the Wroclaw meeting as the Leszno meeting.
