Important meeting at bottom today IMO. Aggregate point for Torun and I think bottom two are nailed on as FZG & Grudziadz. Torun need Chris Holder to start scoring,been poor the last few weeks. Can't see Leszno winning at Gorzow, 3 points for home team surely should see Gorzow go level with Wroclaw. Leszno look in a scrap with Lublin & Czestochowa for the remaining two playoff spots.

First time he's had a poor meeting that I've managed to watch so far.

Entertaining meeting from Czestchowa Friday evening. Laguta & Kubera poor for visitors, Lindgren looking a little more like the rider who finished last years GP series with bronze & Woryna improved for hosts.

Częstochowa v Lublin 04/06/2021

I assume this refers to heat 6?

Well Bewley (maybe, think Lambert will get nod along with Woffinden). Riss will probably represent Germany. Can't see any other SoN riders in British League at moment.

I think R&R is asking which U21 rider at your local track (Belle Vue) is Rowe uncompetitive compared to?

Now Kubera is too.old, the Poles don't have an outstanding obvious candidate at U21. Miskowiak would be my pick, but they'll likely go with Lampart - he hasn't developed as well as most thought he would. The obvious Dane - Birkemose is struggling in Ekstraliga. Hellstrom-Bangs is the best Swede? Chugonov & Lindsey also now too old.

Kasprzak dreadful allowing Janowski free reign down the inside exiting turn 2 in heat 8, then hindered Bjerre for 3 laps.

If Janowski jumped start in heat 8 I didn't spot it. Unlucky to get warning.

Kasprzak still woeful, gonna be a joke in GP's.

Good win for Tigers, Batchelor much improved & solid scores throughout the team.

Working now, have to select Eleven Sport from the menu.

Anyone having any luck with Latvian stream?

Well I don't really know where to start... The road system approaching Perry Barr (from M6) is an absolute mess, nothing to do with the stadium it's being redeveloped for Commonwealth Games. Ended up parking on some urban road as getting to the OneStop car park would have taken forever with the queues. It occurred to me on the way that the Stadium could be in the new innercity clean air zone, but it isn't - helpful sign saying the clean air zone starts in 2 miles - so at least no additional charge! The queuing system for season ticket holders wasn't good, pay on the night customers were streaming past us. It was announced that the start was delayed due to track prep shortly before 19:30, but not a soul had been working on the track prior to that and we'd been in the stadium from about 19:15. Still took about 10 further minutes before the tractor appeared. Then the tractor swapped its equipment for a blade about 30 minutes later (swapped by Chris Harris I think), a few laps with the blade and a bit of raking from the limited number of track staff (& Charles Wright). Finally racing was underway about 20:45.... It was clear the riders were not happy with bends 3 & 4, with a few exceptions almost all of them switched off to enter the bend - Thomas & Sarjeant almost came to a complete stand still. Then the dust began - no sign of any water being put down. Tractor came out. But no water. There were actually a few decent races - Harris v Allen, Palm Toft going from 4th to 2nd and giving chase to Riss. But it was mostly Bears going around Brummies who were sticking frigidly to the inside. Despite the riders reservations with turns 3 & 4, Morris & Grobauer/Stewert both fell on turn 1. Didn't see the second incident properly due to the dust cloud. At that point it was 21:40 so I left, expecting the meeting to be abandoned. Feel sorry for the travelling Redcar fans, a long way to drive for a none event.

Utter farce. Left after the heat 10 crash. Need to get up in the morning, besides I could barely see anything for dust.

Let's hope for more of the same! Don't recall any heats being called back as he tried to jump the start when he visited with Glasgow(?) In 2019 but I could be wrong. Hope we get some cloud cover else could be issue with riders struggling with glare exiting turn 2.

I'd just looked at the line-up's and thought exactly the same, he used to drive me banana's in his Coventry days.

Looking forward to it, when Redcar last visited Perry Barr Eric Riss was superb. Interested to see how good Anders Rowe is.

Thanks, as stated very impressive.

I assume that update website is done by the league? Very impressive. Przdepelski did his best to ruin the last heat decider, another good race.

Missed the incident, I'm frequently getting Access Denied briefly. The rerun was good.

Good ride by Przdepelski to resist Doyle.

Couldn't get that to work on phone, but worked fine on PC - didn't need to go full screen. Thanks.

Got it, thanks.
