Perhaps it's a bit too late to comment, but I will do it anyway, and it is: Being Polish I could not have written this better. My congratulations to StewMac

Why "hand it it to BZ again"... are you forgetting Brady Kurtz ?

If you think that the Polish League is boring and the title should have been given to Lublin, then confront this with what happen today at Leszno. What this still boring to you. If the answer is yes, then you should limit yourself to watching speedway only to your own domestic scene.

So you have sympathy for injuries in the UK…how strange.

According to SF graphics there seems to be only 20 heats.

The entire speedway community is following the latest news regarding Patryk Budniak's health. As we've learned, the Gniezno rider has already undergone another surgery. This time, it involved his lower limbs. Importantly, the surgery went according to plan, and the patient's condition is slowly stabilising. Today (Wednesday) mark three days since the horrific accident in Gniezno. The young rider was airlifted to a hospital in Poznań. There, he underwent complex spinal surgery the very first night. The first, somewhat more optimistic news began to emerge on Tuesday. A series of further tests revealed no further injuries beyond those previously diagnosed, which involved the spine, pelvis, and legs. "The patient's lower limb surgery has been completed. It lasted three hours. Doctors say it went according to plan, with no complications. This is good news. The patient's condition is slowly stabilising, but he is still in the intensive care unit and placed in a medically induced coma. The timing of his awakening will be determined by doctors, who are constantly monitoring his condition," Zuzanna Pankros, spokesperson for the Poznań hospital, told po-bandzie.com.pl

Mathias Pollestad, …is emerging as a young new star in the Polish PGE Ekstraliga. In his debut season in the elite league, the Norwegian has absolutely no respect for his higher-ranked opponents and currently averages nearly two points per heat! (which translates as: “nearly 8.00 CMA”) At Czestochowa , he scored nine points with two bonus points, once again becoming the best U24 player of the round.

. . . and congratulations from me. I well remember the 1998 season and the winning Witches team including one certain resident of my town, Bydgoszcz. I am so glad that the 2025 winning Witches team also includes one certain resident of Bydgoszcz, who not only won the Polish Ekstraliga Championship title, but also the British Premiership League title. Up the Witches ! ! !

Many thanks for guiding me in the right direction. I very much appreciate it as I don't have access to TNT Sport1.

Any online link for today's match at Foxhall for people who living outside Britain have no access to TNT Sport ?

So you agree that your talk about BZ's "high appearance fee" ... is nonsense. You also accuse BZ of not "being seen outside of his country promoting Speedway", Where would you like him to be seen? In Argentina? France? Which other countries, apart from Australia, have speedway tracks. Oh yes, there is also league racing in Britain, but he is already riding in two leagues. One could say there are also individual event. I would say there were. Where is Internationale, Pride of the East, etc., etc. As far as BZ's "inability to communicate with anybody outside of Poland" is concerned ,why all the Extraliga English speaking stars communicate only in English whilst they ride and earn big money on Polish tracks. If you want him to do "interview during GP on the world feed", ask then Abi Stephens to interview him in his native language and then translate (on the spot) into the language you understand. That's how it done in the Polish League.

... and that's what I like in speedway...ability to RACE...to pass opponents during a given race. Jumping from the gate and taking the best lines on the track is also fine...but it doesn't beat for me ability to pass from (last, third, second) and win the race

Are you sure that "his appearance fee is so high that nobody can afford to book him" ? , if so, can you give us the amount he is asking for. If not, what basis do you have to presume so?

"Maybe Hans Nielsen would try again, Ole Olsen could get a chance, or Tony Rickardsson would fight Bartosz Zmarzlik for a seventh title?" - reports sportowefakty.pl It's time to end the wild cards! They distort the essence of the competition. Let's go back to the founding fathers' idea and run the Grand Prix Challenge according to their philosophy. For example, let's let eight riders remain in the series, and all the rest who don't make it will get a chance to compete in the Challenge tournament. We'll also add the other half of the qualifying players.

You should direct your question to FIM, not Poland.

I agree with you. Those semi-finals are waste of time

Well said ! Your are the best informed member of this Forum on what's going on in Polish speedway. Keep it up!

Looks like Dudek’s engine and the one used by Kurtz tuned by Ashley Holloway is quicker than Kowalski’s engine used by Zmarzlik

Spring races were introduced at the beginning of this season... why ? ... to stop Zmarzlik winning the 6th. Also, everyone knew them as part of the new scoring system. Zmarzlik proved to be faster there than Kurtz. You better ask yourself by what kind of "rule" Kurtz got direct place in the final instead of Lebedev who beat him in heat 17
