Yes, thanks to the weather ! Our last home Meeting (vs WIttstock) was also staged at high noon, but on a very hot and sunny day, and the track was overwatered at first, yet still dried out and turned dusty, which made it rather difficult and unpleasant for all involved. It was ideal conditions today, overcast with many rainshowers during the last few days. The track was perfect, not to dry and not to wet. I wish it would always be like that.

Great Performance by the Landshut Devils today. I am really please how they find their feet in the Polish Division Two now. It is only their first year in this league, but compared to our northeastern compatriots from Wittstock, who are in their second season, Landshut is doing a lot better. Today, I was expecting a home win over Poznan, but not by such a huge margin. Bergé has been a great signing, and Huckenbeck is on top form. Two very reliable Point scorers. Martin Smolinski is also slowly getting better again after his injury, that gives us three very potent heat leaders. The second strings of Michael Härtel, Tobias Busch, Valentin Grobauer, and Nick Skorja are all capable of scoring points. Norick Bloedorn is a very good jnunior rider, but there is a weakness at the second junior position. Hillebrand seems to be the better choice compared to Mario Niedermeier. All in all this team is very competitive and we are confident that they will make the play-offs - it is between Landshut and Rzeszow for the fourth spot behind Opole, Rawicz, and Daugavpils.

Tough call, but Bjerre did cause the collision when he changed his line, so the ref got that right. Nicki was knocked unconcious, but otherwise o.k, he even wanted to ride again but the doctor won't let him.

yes, it was to be held at Pfarrkirchen in September but has been cancelled already.

why was it cancelled ?

I was watch the Polish language stream and did not understand a word, so never had a clue who was in the running for the title and who wasn't. That was not good.

Too bad, the general public never realized who was in the running for the title. No graphics on tv showing the overall point standings, that's unforgivable.

The afternoon match vs Rzeszow was abandoned due to an unfit track after eight heats, but the evening match of this double header, against Daugavpils has seen all fifteen heats completed. I wonder why it was not possible to complete all of the fifteen heats in the first match, yet there did not seem to be any problems with the track conditions in the second match. Wittstock were again beaten out of sight in the second match going down by 32 points to 57 against Daugavpils. Max Dilger has a suspected broken shoulder from a crash on the first bend after the start in heat thirteen.

Absolutely, their organisation is a disgrace. There is always trouble and problems with Wittstock. It was the same when they still were in the now defunct German Bundesliga. The big boss Mr. Frank Mauer may have a lot of money, but he does not seem to have made himself many friends in the speedway business.

I know that the wasp was always the symbol of Getingarna form Stockholm

Could this possibly have someting to do with a rose and it's thorns ?

very good explanations by @Ghostwalker, it is crystal clear now

Vetlanda and Västervik both DID have nicknames for their teams in the past. They used to be known as the Njudungarna and the Skepparna. Not sure why they drooppped these names. And Rospiggarna has absolutely nothing to do with a pig. I seem to remember that it has to do with people of local history there. Perhaps someone of our Swedish experts on the BSF knows better than me and can explain it?

... and with Bjerre coming back into the GKM team, they can beat Torun tonight.

Hope so, the first couple of Meetings we've seen today were very one-sided.

Foreign clubs can not join the Ekstraliga. A British Club may apply to join the Polish League, but has to start in Division Two, like a couple of German clubs did. But this level of competition is worse than what You already have in the SGB Premiership in Britain, perhaps not even as good as SGB Championship. No option for a club like Belle Vue.

But it is not just between Torun and Grudziadz. Zielona Gora only has six match points so far and are not safe yet.

Unfortunately this was not worth watching. Worst meeting I've seen all year. The Wittstock team is useless !

This will be the very fist All-German match in the Polish Speedway League. Our Devils will give the Prussian Wolfpack a good beating today

OneSport Events so often suffer from badly prepared tracks. They have a talent to mess up even the best race tracks. How poor !

Great result for the two Norwegian youngsters Pollestad and Sola, who qualify for the Euro final.

Zagar makes all the difference for ZG tonight. By far his best performance of the season so far. This will be very tense in the last couple of heats. The result of this match is crucial in the battle to avoid relegation.

Not looking good for ZG. Nile Tufft, the Anglo-Egyptitian Pole crashing out in heat 2
