Smektala is the same age as Lambert & Drabik.... at least they were in the U21's together. Kubera is a year younger.... or was in the U21's a year later when Lidsey won it... I think!

Do Douglas & Smektala ride together on the continent? Except for U21 World Cup at Belle Vue many years ago I can't recall him riding in UK before. Maybe a GP qualifier at Glasgow.

Hotel, PRL rocks & stadium all walkable in 15 mins, thanks!

Had to watch heat 10 again, couldn't figure out how Fricke passed Laguta, but didn't see Laguta front wheel lift.

I could see blue flashing lights from bend 2, but when I had got back from toilet that section was empty.

Where have all the fans gone from exit of turn 4?

Yes, I'm enjoying it, thanks. Surprised the home supporters are still being so vocal considering Wroclaw have won on aggregate. Guess GKM can still win on the night, which looked unlikely earlier.

No point in having seats, as soon as the tapes go up everyone stands up. Almost as dusty as Perry Barr.

The section of fans on the exit of the fourth bend can make some noise! Can't be more than 300 of them.

Everyone wearing a hat in the stadium takes it off for the National Anthem but everyone wearing a hoodie leaves their hood up?

Does anyone (unlikely I'm sure) know of a Sports Bar that will have Lublin v Torun on within 45 minutes walk of Bydgoszcz stadium?

Hope they have decent lighting at Grudziądz.. it's pitch black in Gdańsk now and it's not due to start tomorrow for another 40 minutes.

Adios Magic.

Well .. Sheffield riders are not worried about inflating their averages looking at he scores from tonight!

So I have booked a ticket in the Gorzow end... Just noticed where the start line is!

That would suggest I'm in the section entering the first bend, which is what i did click on?

And go for a leak after heat 4.... lose the seat. Great! Is it still temporary plastic toitoi toilets in that section at Bydgoszcz?

Yes I've got something! it'll do.

Google translate says... Stand: B Sector: Away Entrance: Main Row: Seat: Hmmm.. Not sure I'll be buying a Brennan top if I'm in with the Gorzów supporters. Only league fixture I have been to at Bydgoszcz was Lokomotiv Daugavpils who I doubt would bring many supporters... Is there a fenced off section for visiting supporters at Bydgoszcz like there is at other tracks? Don't recall seeing one.

Absolutely not where I thought I had clicked but never mind.

Just watched that last few heats... what a finish! Västervik lucky, I assume Jepsen Jensen hit a rut on bend 4 lap 1 which lead to him losing control? I think I'll remember Mathias Pollestad from this point forward.

Holy Christ... Bydgoszcz ticket site is appalling! Can someone give me some idea where I am, please... Trybuna: B Sektor: Goście Wejście: Główne Rząd: Miejsce: Getting tickets for the grandstand was just stupid, tickets were appearing and disappearing before I could select them. The backstraight stand was sold out for season ticket holders!

Well if I go... I'll try to get a top! Thomsen is off, Lebedevs is off... I'm nut walking around with Fajfa on my shoulders! I'm sure at some point my Bewley / Wroclaw, Lambert / Torun, Fricke / Grudziądz tops will be out of date...

Double post - ignore.
