Which meeting is live r&rs? Is there a link for the first meeting anywhere, I can't see it. Sorry for being a pain!

Shame we can't see Ward again, he made the Torun GP for me. Hoping Hampel can take another few points from Hancock. AJ is flying atm and expect him to be up there tonight. Can't dislike the guy, shame he didn't start the season in this form.

Unlikely I'll be free to attend the weekday ones now apart from Dudley, but hoping to get to Leicester. Hope your hard work pays off and we see at least one of the newcomers make an impact like some of these Aussies kids do in the NL.

Just watched the race . Rory went off the line on the 2nd bend 3rd lap and left a gap. Laguta then locked up on the 4th bend but didn't drift off his line.

Can see where you're coming from 21st, I can only presume keeping Kyle alongside Roynon would have meant that they would have had to release one of Franklin or Ritchings, which they werent prepared to do.

Whilst the riders gave it 100%, the track was super slick. Gate 1, like Cardiff was a grave yard. Darcys ride off of four to cut back was so sublime. THJ looks a real fighter on the big Polish tracks.

I went to Dudley vs Newport on Tuesday - Some brilliant races once the away team got used to the track(4-5 heats). As you say, at this level track prep is essential to the entertainment as its no good watching riders fall off at the back.

Presume Howarth is riding elsewhere? But it should be him and Garrity Hazleden Morris Perry

Maybe ask the Poznan club if they have coaches going to Gorzow?

Troy and Tai are about the same to me. Both can be awesome but both can make silly mistakes. Batchelor is a few years older mind.

Looking at the weather radar, much of Poland is going to be hit with heavy rain today. Expect a few rain offs!

I wonder how many more years we'll be seeing.. Pedersen x 2? Crump x 1? Gollob x 2? Holta x 0? Hancock x 1? Can't aruge with any of your choices, although I'd expect a few Russians and Poles to be making the numbers up if any of the riders above don't improve as expected. Sad for GB but after Tai there isn't really any other rider who you can say, yes they'll be up there in 4 or 5 years. Will Ward and Holder still be so close when they're completing against one another for top dog?

All 1st division meetings today are looking like huge home defeats! The ZG vs Gorzow should be awesome!

Great start to team building - a very solid yet young team!

I thought Nicki should have been excluded, mostly because he was out of control and caused Harris to move out. I do think Harris dropped it - because he knew Pedersen would get away with it. I just don't like riders who barge their way through as oppposed actually passing a rider. I didn't like Nicholls move in the British Final. In an earlier heat, Pedersen did a simular move on Hancock, but he chose to stay on. Thats the game Pedersen plays with his style of riding! It was nice to see Antonio do a classic Pedersen move on Pedersen, losing control infront a rider trying to pass him. All of this proves that compared to Gollob and Crump, Pedersen does not have the natural talent and relies on either fast gating or playing bumper cars with the opposition.

Its nice to see Tarnow winning! But with Crump having at least 4 more rides, they have to keep their heads down and go for it.

Impressive win in heat 4 for Seb Ulamek over Jason Crump!

Its hard to believe Dudley could cause so much uproar at Buxton, one of the most, if not the most hospitable tracks in speedway, with most of the home fans sitting in their cars! Lets hope things start to calm down on the terraces.

Buxton will struggle without Branford. Dudley won't be afraid to ride the track and seem to be in really good form - can see a big away win, hope I'm wrong mind!

ZG is a poor track for racing. The best track in Poland for me is Gorzow, with Leszno and Torun both awesome too.

Heat 8 - Madsen started riding mid track and Crump got past. KK sort of divided at hit at one point, wonder if thats why Crump wasn't happy?

Maciej Kupicia. Have seen his scores are always pretty decent, wonder if he has ever considered racing in Britain. We could sign him for Ricky Wells

I really hate seeing AJ riding so poorly at the back. He used to ride very simular to Janusz Kolodziej when he was younger. He throws in the good race every now and again (WC 2010). Some people in Sweden reckon it is having a child, but I reckon it is too many crashes have affected his confidence and style.

#8 Chris Holder 9 #10 Nicki Pedersen 11 #11 Fredrik Lindgren 8 #14 Antonio Lindback 6

I think Dackarna are far too top heavy which leaves them having to put Kling in the main body. Pavlic was great lastnight, but he is prone to off nights. Great team when the top end perform, but in Sweden, that top 3 isn't as likely to be so unbeatable, entertaining as it might be. Vargarna have a handy team IMO but KK and Richardsson are badly out of form. They have Woffinden on a very modest average I think too but is still injured.
