Good ride Woffinden heat 12, great first couple of laps in heat 13. Good battle in heat 14 between Drabik & Pawlicki, where the hell did Pawlicki go end of lap 3? And Janowski & Sayfutdinov in heat 15, no maximum for the Russian. I think that's the best meeting I've watched from Leszno, shame the result was never in doubt as Fricke, Bewley & the Liszka failed to score, good effort from the other 4.

Couldn't repeat it in heat 9 though, Sayfutinov superb. Drabik even better ride in heat 10. Then nowhere in heat 11, which is surely the nail in the Wroclaw coffin.

Kurtz surely jumped start in heat 5. Harsh first Ekstraliga away match for Bewley, hoping heat 6 isn't the last time we see him, looks like Pawlicki just edged Woffinden on the line. Wroclaw need a big heat 8. Which they got great ride from Janowski & Woffinden, once Janowski was through Pawlicki was never going to be able to resist Woffinden.

Watching Leszno v Wroclaw now. Janowski & Chuganov looked quicker than the Bulls they were chasing in heats 1 & 2 but couldn't find a way past, wonder if the track isn't prepared as norm. Drabik did himself no favours looking for Woffinden when he almost came off, should have just stuck to his line, fortunately for him Pawlicki nearly wiped Kurtz out which allowed him back through. Not really sure why first running of heat 4 was stopped, sure Fricke hit Kolodziej but no one hit the shale.

Just watched FBZ v Częstochowa on YouTube, what a total humiliation for the home side. Lindback & MJJ terrible. Impressed with Miskowiak in heat 4. Correct decisions on Madsen pipping Dudek on the line & Protasiewicz when he clipped Lindgren. All of Chestochowa impressed, I thought the wheels were about to come off when Predpelski trailed in last but he came back strong & Holta while not getting a huge score also in the mix. Doyle was untouchable but Madsen coming from last to join Doyle in heat 15 was the ride of the night. I don't think any home riders impressed Protasiewicz grabbed two consolation heat wins late on but it was only 3-3 as Tonder probably wasn't keen to get anywhere near his senior partner having been almost knocked off by him in heat 6. Vaculik the only other home rider I think won a heat? I'll watched Leszno v Wroclaw when I get back from the shops.

In the battle to meet Rybnik in the relegation playoffs, Stal Gorzów Wielkopolski made a great leap towards that goal with an utterly abject performance against the only other realistic candidates, Motor Lublin. I watched up to heat 8 live until I was dragged away on fathers day duties, then watched the rest on YouTube later. Karczmarz is the only Gorzow rider who comes out with any real credit today (even he'd given up trying by the end), Thomsen battled early but that was about it. Then heat where Kasprzak & Wozniak gated on 1-5 but eventually conceded a 5-1 summed it up,. Wozniak has been awful both Gorzow meetings so far. All the Goats chipped in with handy points & battled but you know a meeting when Jaroslaw Hampel is top performer is never going to be a classic.

FZG v Chestchowa off? Edit: yes it's off for those late to the party. Tomorrow at 18:00 restaging.

Obviously missed the announcement about 25% capacity on fans. Unless Wozniak perks up, looks like a home win.

How come fans are in the stands at Lublin? Lampart was very forceful on Kraczmarz.

Lublin still going ahead according to Ekstraliga website. They might get lucky if the storm holds off, local weather forecast is expecting sorm at 16:00.

Link for Lublin v Gorzow? Ignore, just seen it's Sunday not tonight.

You have to remember that the two meetings that stick in my head from Chestochowa are the two I attended when Wroclaw & Lezsno ran out comfortable winners.

Well he certainly looked much improved on whoever partnered Miskowiak at reserve for Częstochowa last year.

Just finished watching Grudziądz visit to my favourite Polish track. Laguta was superb with only Madsen able to "keep him honest", I may watch heat 15 again as my eyes were on Lindgren & Pedersen. Unfortunately the rest of the visitors were not at their best so it was a comfortable home win for the Lions despite Doyle looking slow, more encouragingly for Częstochowa Przedpełski looked much improved and they may have a unearthed a gem at reserve in Świdnicki, who I don't think I had heard of before. Heat 14 was the highlight, Buczkowski leading after a lap but fourth half a lap later and then stuffed by Pedersen. Heat 6 also good. Edit - having watched heat 15 again maybe it was the cameraman more than myself who was watching Lindgren & Pedersen, Madsen had reeled Laguta in by the end of lap 4 but not sure if Laguta was easing off.

Think I've caught up with everything now. Zmarzlik definitely didn't have his gating gloves on and the Leszno points accumulating machine continues sadly. Lambert was impressive for Rybnik but they are in for a long season.

Actually it might be closer than that, not sure what the reserves are like. But Częstochowa top 3 should out score Grudziądz top 3, but Holta & Przedpełski are going to struggle where as there isn't really a weak link in the visitors top 5. This is if they line-up as I think they do, haven't checked.

Thanks. No speedway there tonight, looking at that weather.

Częstochowa will get 52. What stream is it on?

Fricke at 2, I saw. Missed heat 1.

Guessing that's the end of Bewley's night, Chugonov will be taking his final two rides. Why no Fricke for Wroclaw? Haven't been keeping tabs on things. Lambert not in Rybnik 1-7 either, #8?

SGP reporting that Sayfutdinov may sit the Ekstraliga season. Might actually mean it's a contest for the first time in a while.

I just had email saying it was postponed. Are tickets going to be automatically refunded?

Nobody is saying they do, but it doesn'tseem likely riders would turn down employment if it doesn't affect their current working schedule.

With Jonasson's average removed from the original septet there is 7.64 available for team building, where is the sense in signing a rider a rider on 5.38. Ludvig Lindgren, Victor Palovaara & Dimitri Berge are three riders who do not have a Championship ride and all averaged more than Grobauer in recent years. I know signing a Dane is not ideal due to race night but there are a host of Danish riders who also fit.

I totally disagree. Without the THJ potential X factor, Brummies now look the weakest team.in.the league except for possibly Newcastle. Two heat leaders in CH & JG who often miss the gate. Probably the weakest third heat leader in the league. AM & JS are returning from injury
