Vaculik fortunate he is able to take part in the re-run he could have easily come off his bike too.

I think Hans will be extremely happy with what he's done to NIcki there.

After 20 heats OVER half the races had only three finishers....sorry couldn't resist throwing that in lol. What is it about this track that causes such wear and tear on the bikes and/or for riders to throw in the towel!

Was Nicki just having some fun there with his arm signal or was it done in a bad or sarcastic manner?

I'm a little bit behind as i'm using live pause a bit but i think i'm right in noting that after 12 heats half of them have only had 3 riders finish the race! Still 50% rate of only three finishers in a race after 14 heats, ok i can't become Statttoman for the night but will keep an eye out on this lol. Martin 'Tarzan' Vaculik enjoying himself in chest-thumping style tonight.

A statement of intent from Vaculik although his enthusiasm might wane if Nicki matches him over their first two races. If this was on Premier Sports Tai would be able to Tweet the commentators and use the word Pawel just used.

Lol seconded. Aah it escaped me that it's your town despite your logo lol, and there was me pointing out that someone hadn't seen the time of the meeting in a post lol Glad the meeting has started on time the Sunday staging is awful for me as it leaves me trying to watch the speedway at the same time as the NFL and Nascar grrRRRRR. Just glad Manchester United aren't playing lol. What type of track is Rzeszow is it a good racy one? Unfortunately i never get to see Polish speedway because it clashes with so many of my favourite sports on a Sunday.

The Eurosport team are oblivious as to when Tai withdrew they saying it was just over 24 hours ago!

This was just 3 posts up from your query

I updated the racecards earlier today and somehow forgot to put them on the server! all done now though. FREE AVAILABLE as of NOW! Sunday, 29th, September, 2013.

So SEC and Rzeszow getting fans in with false advertising as i'm sure many fans will be electing to attend in order to see the likely about to be crowned new world champion Tai Woffinden battle for the European crown too.

Oooops it was a joke. Although the use of teams carrying the names of defunct tracks is something that irks me slightly and doesn't do the sport any favours at all.

You forgot to mention the numbers watching on 'illegal' internet streams lol. The media's ties with the omnipresent football means that i wouldn't be shocked to see a kids street kickabout broadcast lol.

Certainly 90% of speedway promoters in the UK seem oblivious at times to fixture clashing immensely popular local counter-attractions let alone be aware of public holidays to take advantage of. I guess it's no difference with the SGP. Didn't Denmark have two consecutive fixture clashes with their nations footballers appearance in the World Cup Finals or more likely i think it may have been the European Championship Finals recently?

No problem, many thanks for the detailed reply. Attendances not quite as bad as i feared. Not sure if regular fortnightly or monthly meetings would dilute the crowd further or build up interest. However i'm sure you'd need some sort of genuine league competition consisting of other tracks! Maybe a competition with clubs from the other countries where there are only one or two tracks in existence would be an intriguing idea and be relatively attractive. Yeah the website is an excellent one which i already have bookmarked and i am well versed in the 'Google Translate' quirks to be able to make sense of any language

??? CASTLEFORD what have i missed here all season? It's hardly a million miles from Manchester, where is their track there is no mention of it on my SatNav have they any home fixtures left?

Unfortunately, i don't see emblazoned anywhere a mention of live coverage and the video link of the U21 final leads to a video 'archive' tab. Also the timing of the programme is several hours after the competition starts (going by your start time listing which i've no reason at all to question). Undoubtedly like yourself i'll have a search when i can grab the time to see if there is any coverage planned anywhere. Have you checked the FIM site in case it's one of their rare forays into live speedway?

The other links lead to high quality videos so this should do so too. There are three levels of quality to choose from.

We've seen this on numerous occasions where a rider misses a meeting but rides a day either side of it. Surely a simple way to prevent this is if a rider presents a sick note it stops him from riding for a minumum of several days. A one day/meeting sick note is way open to abuse.

The format is fairly simple if you have a look at the 2012 results starting with the eliminating races and a new page for each progressive round. http://speedway.vmne...p?rok=2012&co=1 A rushed glance right now i got visitors due for the American Football coming on, but should be correct 6 riders per race points scored 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. Eliminators 24 riders in 4 groups of 6 riders consisting of 3 races per group. Top 3 go through to the quarter-finals. Quarter-finals. 12 qualifiers join another 12 seeded riders. Then same as above 24 riders in groups of 6 riders consisting of 3 races per group. Top 3 go through to the semi-finals. Semi-finals. 12 qualifiers in two groups of 6 again each over 3 races with the top 3 of each going through to the 'A' final and the other 3 from each to the 'B' final. Final(s). The two groups of 6 riders racing over 3 heats classify the positions 1-6 and 7-12. Hopefully this official page updates during this years meeting, it's a good looking layout. If not it will be a good source of results.UPDATE Just noticed that on the homepage it says "This pages contain results of all races during more than last 10 years. These pages are updated during races." Starting with the eliminators http://speedway.vmne...p?rok=2013&co=1 That page has links to the other events, also starting list pages. including the U21 results (or updates?) http://speedway.vmne...rc=13msj21_vysl Sportowefakty and other European sites will likely have updates on the U21 final though. Dontcha just know if it was available live online i would have produced a MiniMax racecard lol lol

Sadly that stood out to me too. No offence but i wish they would ditch it. Doesn't seem to be any great interest in speedway in the Czech Republic these days. There have been some fantastic league meetings but sadly raced in front of one man and a dog with the likely highest attendance being the epic day when one man and two dogs attended!

Hee Hee

There's information on Google and they did have motorcycle speedway.

With only a single point separating the top two and the battle for a rostrum place all very close one might think it's going to be a tense 22 heats, however, i think the most edge of the seat stuff will be Tai's 20-28 laps, squeaky bum and eyes closed time for all his fans and himself, although hopefully he'll have his eyes open!
