I don't get the obsession with Ekstraliga averages - Kolodziej and Ben Cook for example have been near the top in those lists but neither have made it into the GPs on a regular basis. Kurtz wasn't even riding in that league when he qualified via the GP challenge in 2024 was he? No-one knows how a rider may perform, if it was all about averages and assessments why have a competition at all? It'd just be nice to see some new battles, not just the same old troupe.

Thanks, forecast for during the event rather than before Hope it changes for the better before Sat!

What's the weather protection for the track like at Torun? I see rain is forecast for Saturday evening, don't want a totally wasted trip!

Didn't Crump get a wildcard for being u21 champ or did I dream that? Vaculik, hmm I think rather than didn't bother he failed to get through the GP Challenge and has had about 6 wildcards now, so is he still trying to make the grade😉

Paying riders £12k per meeting doesn't help either.

The man who rivals Harris for wildcards, I really hope not.

I agree with the overall view. Regarding Fricke vs Doyle, only one of them showed they can still challenge and made it to the GP final this year, and it wasn't Fricke.

What, with all those weeks between March and September, surely it could never have been fitted in 🤪

Who says we didn't? Last night would have been a different meeting entirely had it been raced before positions were decided. And unless Brady and Dan say they weren't trying in the semi at Foxhall then that's only a guess as well.

AI is not accurate or verified, just reports what's on other online sites, as you've just proved.

Yes, I've bought the stream already.

Given the money they earn in Poland it's no wonder some of them don't bother. Vaculik reportedly on £1100 per point - kerching!

Yes, asked this several years ago when I first saw Nicki P doing this in the GPs. As others have said there is a rule in Britain which says the cut out must be attached when the engine is running, this includes after the race has concluded. After NP started it others followed suit like the sheep they are - not sure what they think they're gaining to be honest but if for some reason the bike does pick up speed unexpectedly I hope no-one is seriously injured.

I'm surprised Doyle has been picked ahead of Fricke for Australia - let's see who gets a GP wild card pick.

It was a tense meeting which made it more enjoyable. Given both the #LEISHE meetings were good to watch, the only way is downhill I fear. If the first few races of the final are not like last night who'll be first to moan about it on the forum?😁
