That was to be expected. To be fair, the World Team looked pretty weak this year with four Polish juniors, Fraser Bowes and Hancock junior.

The USA took on a World team in an unofficial international challenge match at Auburn's Fast Fridays Speedway last night. Does anybody have the results ?

It was won by the Seychelles-German rider Mario Häusl, ahead of Poland's Maksymilian Pawelczak, and Belle Vue's German rider Norick Blödorn.

If rumors from Poland are to be believed WBD wont be involved anymore next year. Apparently they are in the process of selling all the speedway rights. There should be an official announcement coming soon.

Life's tough in the Ukraine, or is it? Judge for Yourself. Here is a video of the Ukrainian championship speedway meeting held at Lviv a fortnight ago.

I thought the racing wasn't great at Riga last night and the stadium was not even full, even though the capacity there is not much. The racing wasn't great either. Worrying times for the SGP. The final result was good though and thanks to Brady Kurtz the world championship is still open with two rounds at Wroclaw and Vojens still to come.

That was a rather emotionless meeting at Czestochowa, in fact quite boring, in what used to be one of the hot spots of the Ekstraliga. The Ekstraliga this season fails to excite me, and I notice that crowds in the Polish stadia are significantly down this year. I've said it before and I say it again, the total dominance of Motor Lublin, and to a lesser extend Torun and Wroclaw, is doing the league no good.

Maybe so, but all of the Aussies and most of the Brits are based in the UK, which would make it fairly easy to run a test series in the summer. Where there's a will, there's always a way!

I don't agree that this would be totally one-sided. It coud even be quite a spectacle and a highlight of the UK season! Anyway, it is such a shame we don't get to see a proper GB v Aussie speedway test series. The wait continues.

Landshut v Gdansk on Sunday has been postponed due to bad weather. The new date for this match is Sunday, August 10 (5pm local time)

I tend to not watch Motor Lublin meetings anymore. They are so strong it is totally boring! How can the Lublin fans enjoy watching this?

This was a very good race meeting on Saturday. I am more and more impressed with the Flat Trackers. I wonder, could this be the future for speedway/track racing? You can watch Saturday's complete meeting in Croatia re-live with English commentary on YouTube. It was live and free on YouTube on Saturday night.

No

any news on Katie Gordon?

Well, seriously,I had a look at her facebook page but it does not mention any racing acitivites of her lately. I wonder is she still active as a speedway rider, and if so, why is she not riding in Croatia? https://www.facebook.com/p/Katie-Gordon-Racing-100057876480625/

Does anybody know why Rachel Hellowell is the only British entry in the 500cc FIM Womens Speedway gold Trophy on Saturday in Croatia? Where is Katie Gordon ???

There was a SGP4 Academy today in Malilla, conducted by Tony Rickardsson

Croatian Motorsports Federation (racing license). I wonder, are women not allowed to ride speedway in Poland?

and Flint must be a doubt, too !

lots of empty seats tonight at Gorzow

But is it any wonder? It must get rather boring for the Lublin fans having to watch runaway wins in their home meetings. This team is way too strong and this is not good for the Ekstraliga, really.

Grudziadz v Torun is live on YouTube now
