GP line-up and venues for 2026
Col replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
And as I stated... if those riders drop out for the following year but qualify again the experience will do them no harm long term... as it did for Woffinden. Might Be's are preferable to Never Gonna Be's. -

Golden Helmet, 2025, Pardubice

Thanks couldn't find result on sportwoefakty but I'm sure the fixture was listed on it previously. -

Wouldn't bother giving Doyle another PWC, all he is likely to do is injure himself or another rider... Fricke is worth another PWC. If no Laguta & Sayfutdinov... I think I'd give Parnitskyi & Cierniak a go, they'll finish 14th & 15th but so would Kvech & Huckenbeck. Woffinden got a pick in 2011 and struggled badly was frankly uncompetitive... dropped out in 2012 but qualified for and won 2013. Who's to say Parnitskyi couldn't do the same. -

Was the junior event (Golden Ribbon?) today cancelled? -
Don't know how much tickets for this or how the prices compare to the tickets for the events on the following two days but it could be an expensive weekend. Imagine most of the locals would prioritise their traditional big speedway event the Golden Helmet over the final round of the SEC. Great ride from Brennan in heat 14. MJJ looks like he's not interested in maintaining his top 6 SEC spot now he has a SGP spot for 2026.

2025 Torun SON and SON 2
Col replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I assumed as Parnitskyi comfortably overhauled Przyjemsk points wise Przyjemsk didn't compete, but I've just seen he scored 6 in Vojens which doesn't suggest he was fully fit. -
2025 Torun SON and SON 2
Col replied to racers and royals's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Is Przyjemski likely to be fit? He's missed the last few weeks including the final of SGP2. I'm not sure I can be bothered with the SoN2, are any of the other nations (thinking potentially Denmark) likely to give the Poles anything to worry about? -
2025 Torun SON and SON 2

Like others have mentioned I don't think you will need much cash in Poland, maybe at the stadium if you want some fodder or drinks. There are things to do in Torun but it's not a big city like Wroclaw. Gingerbread Museum & Copernicus Planetarium (make sure you have an expresso before you go in) are worth a visit if you have not been before. You can climb to the top of the Old Town Hall for a panoramic view of the city & surrounding area. I was hoping KH Energa Toruń (Ice Hockey) maybe staging a fixture while I'm there, but sadly not this time. The local gingerbread & honey beers is good and available fairly cheaply in most shops but if you are after some proper beer then Deer Bear is the place to head to. There is also Torun Sour Soup which is pretty delicious, loads of restaurants around the square, had everything from an American diner filth fodder to an Indian & Thai previously but my favourite place to eat is the restaurant by the Brass Donkey (less cute than initially imagined.... it was medieval torture device). And there are a fair few pierogi places, not my thing but worth trying if you've never had them before. As well as the Copernicus statue & the brass donkey, there are brass cartoon dog, gingerbread woman (with dog) and brass woman with Goose to spot around the city and the dancing fountain is worth viewing after dark if it's on. Toruń Plaza is a sizeable shopping centre near the stadium also. -
Neither of them will be involved unless there is a spate of injuries to Bewley, Lambert, Kurtz, J Holder & Fricke which seems unlikely since fixtures are now few & far between.

Bydgoszcz in the play off... do we know which fixture (28/09 or 05/10) will be at Bydgoszcz, as the fixtures will sandwich the SoN which I'm going to and Bydgoszcz is not exactly far from Torun I may as well get a ticket (along with Grudziądz v Wrocław on 27/08). I might even do the Gorzów (or Rybnik) return fixture.

I didn't watch it, so can't comment on Zmarzlik's actual performance, he could well have gated which he's far from bad at and stuck in his position without trying to overtake any of the riders in front of him. 8 paid 9 from 4 riders is a bad night for a rider who averages 10.87 in that league. No rider will get on the podium over the course of a GP series if they can't gate, not everyone can be Artem Laguta or Erik Gundersen away from the tapes but every rider in the GP series ever must be capable of making a reasonable consistent starts or they wouldn't be capable of maintaining a spot in the series. Mountain dropped for Zischke last year is evidence that is not always the case.

What's wrong with Etheridge?
