If Grudziadz don't win they're as good as relegated. Been a bit unlucky, the two reruns went against them. Can't believe Dudek & Zagar in same heat.

Nominations for last 2 heats makes it advantage FZG, as they nominate second. Grudziadz need a heat advantage but only Pedersen looks capable of winning a heat. FZG manager gets this wrong he should resign.

All level now, not the most entertaining of meetings from Grudziadz but getting tense. Home team need Pedersen to be unbeaten for the rest of the meeting but Zagar looks quick. Allot riders having trouble as bend 1 becomes bend 2.

Weather forecast in Grudziadz is dry at least.

Yet Leszno beat Czestochowa (another playoff contender) on Friday when their captain (Pi Pawlicki) and #1 (Sayfutdinov) had off nights Whoever finishes top out of Wroclaw & Gorzow will choose Lublin or Czestochowa in the semi, leaving the other to race the Bulls.

Are either Grudziadz or FZG likely to name a #8 that could affect the result? Unless Grudziadz win it could be game over, last chance saloon would be Torun's visit to Grudziadz in a few weeks but bonus point that day is looking very unlikely with 20 points to make up

The SEC will surely show who is in best position to partner Woffinden in SEC, Lambert or Bewley. Lambert is still averaging more than Bewley in Ekstraliga despite being in a poorer team and in the awkward #8 position when he's never sure what heats he is in.

After last night this is looking unlikely, too late to edit?

Great meeting, Sayfutdinov came good in the end. Smektala's best showing this year?

I don't remember any bet. I said Czestochowa reserves were best in league, Miskowiak was by far the best reserve on show.

Great heat 7. Lindgren superb first lap, great race Swidnicki/Sayfutdinov. Doyle surely jumped the start in the Aussie 5-1? Madsen superb in heat 11. Swidnicki smoked Ratajczak in heat 12 R+R Heat 13. Great race.

Swidnicki was quicker in heat 2, Ratajczak had to be pretty defensive to hold him off. Madsen made up serious ground to pass Sayfutdinov in heat 1.

It's still available for anyone who like me went to the pub last night and wants to catch up

Can't help thinking Musielak would be a better option for Torun, he is topping the second tier averages. Bizarre statement, they may not be as strong as the past few years which they have dominated but nobody will want to face them in the playoffs.

Jack Holder just got team.rode Miedzinski style!

Wonder how Ratajczak will do against the Czestochowa reserves, who I consider the best pair in the Ekstraliga (Lublin close second).

Bewley v Lambert SoN.spot up for grabs

He's been much improved this year.

Przedpełski breaks the home duck! Mostly due to Chugonov riding poorly.

Chris Holder is at least looking competitive for Torun after his recent slump in form. Miedzinski held the lead for 2 laps then at least. If Lambert had clamped Janowski down on turns 1&2 might have been a different story. But Janowski is so fast might not have mattered. Afraid World Title looks a two Polish horse race on Ekstraliga form.

Has a home team not won a heat all meeting ever before?

Torun v Wroclaw

Didn't think crowd was particularly diminished compared to last week, a 100 down at most. All spectator areas seemed pretty busy - can't meander under current restrictions obviously.

Am I arguing about Harris' performance? No. He was however involved in the best race of the night, his battle with Cook in heat 13. I actually think Sedgeman was the best visiting Tiger, but Ostergaard deserves credit also Speaking of which, Riss has a long way to go before he earns the moniker "Electric"!

I stand corrected he wasn't in the Tigers septet that visited PB in 2019. Then explain the pootling around at the back in heat 14?
