Doesn't look like it after all. The FIM Europe had a meeting last weekend but 'track racing' wasn't one of the topics by the looks of it (press release).

FIM Europe calendar as well

And on eSpeedway.pl: http://www.espeedway.pl/news,grand_prix_w_warszawie_potwierdzone,73669,10.html Strange..

The Adam Skornicki meeting last sunday was absolutly brilliant! Best entertainment all season for sure. Check out my report for some pics if you're interested For those who need a last little Polish speedway fix (like me), there are two meetings 'close together' this weekend Saturday 25.10 - Turniej o Puchar Prezydenta Miasta Grudziądza (Grudziadz) Sundag 26.10 - Łańcuch Herbowy Ostrowa Wielkopolskiego (Ostrow) Both meetings are individuals with both international and local riders, should be good.

Oh dear, I'll contact this to my 'source'. EDIT: Tweet about the (wrong) date has also been removed I see

Warsaw April 25 (three year contract). Two dates left... Gorzow and Daugavpils.

Malilla confirmed for July 25

Just got back in NL and Dudek wasn't there. The new jawa bikes were tested by old riders, including Sam Ermelenko.

Official riderslist: 1 (45) Greg Hancock (United States) 2 (507) Krzysztof Kasprzak (Poland) 3 (3) Nicki Pedersen (Denmark) 4 (108) Tai Woffinden (Great Britain) 5 (55) Matej Zagar (Slovenia) 6 (100) Andreas Jonsson (Sweden) 7 (23) Chris Holder (Australia) 8 (33) Jaroslaw Hampel (Poland) 9 (75) Troy Batchelor (Australia) 10 (88) Niels-Kristian Iversen (Denmark) 11 (37) Chris Harris (Great Britain) 12 (69) Jason Doyle (Australia) 13 (71) Maciej Janowski (Poland) 14 (52) Michael Jepsen Jensen (Denmark) 15 (30) Tomas H Jonasson (Sweden) Substitute riders: 19 (19) Peter Kildemand (Denmark) 20 (20) Piotr Pawlicki (Poland) 21 (21) Linus Sundstrom (Sweden)

Very interested to hear about licenses/insurances with these 'independed' meetings... doesn't sound very 'covered'. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to see Dudek back on track on sunday

Nooooo... he was in surgery today to remove some metal in his foot.

Think they'll pick Kildemand, Piotr Pawlicki and Smoli... We'll see today I guess.

Kildemand #1 reserve please and to keep the German fans happy it would be a good idea to have Smoli on the list as well.

Janek Konikiewicz hinted on a 'nice suprise' in venues on twitter a few days ago.

Next year we'll see a round in Mildura (Australia) according to info from Poland!

I put some rumours together with the confirmed onces and came up with this as a proposed calendar: 25.04 - Warsaw 16.05 - Tampere 23.05 - Prague 06.06 - Malilla -- World cup -- 04.07 - Cardiff Daugavpils 08.08 - Horsens 29.08 - Gorzow 12.09 - Krsko 26.09 - Stockholm 03.10 - Torun 24.10 - Melbourne Any thoughts on this? The green onces are confirmed. (updated on 14-10 9:49 am)

Alan is right on here, I was there and we payed 25 zloty to get in. Drinks and food are unbelievable cheap, but hey that's PL (good for us western people). Many many people from all ages, really cool family atmosphere. Didn't see many 'paupers', just normal people enjoying a great afternoon of speedway with each other. I love it! Rybnik was my 27th Polish meeting this year and although it's quite a drive from The Netherlands, it was absolutely worth it once again. Took four people with me including three newcomers and they had the time of their life!

It was an early start this morning but made it to Rybnik just in time for the meeting! Impressed by the huge crowd here, weather is lovely.

Gorzow, Torun, Warsaw?

Lelystad has a new owner and therefore the Dutch open meeting (and also the Dutch league meeting) at Lelystad speedway had to be cancelled. It was unlikely to be held anyway due to financial issues with the previous owner. The meeting at October 26 will just be an open meeting. For as far as I know there will not be a Dutch speedway champion this year.

Not exactly, when they penned the deal with Riga they already stated that in 2015 they would go back to Daugavpils. "SGP rights holders BSI Speedway have signed a two-year deal with promoter Speedway Grand Prix of Latvia to bring the series to its fifth capital city for 2014 and Daugavpils in 2015."

With Melbourne confirmed we have now six venues (Tampere, Prague, Cardiff, Horsens, Stockholm, Melbourne) on the calendar plus two without at date (Daugavpils, Gorzow).

Doyle also signed with Dackarna

We're heading to Rybnik on the sunday, long old drive from Torun but should be a good match Bringing four Dutch fans with me, with three on their first PL experience :)
