SuperStarsFan91 Posted June 30, 2025 Report Share Posted June 30, 2025 (edited) I’m sure Jan and Ben will miss Thursdays away meeting at Leicester but then ride abroad at the weekend like nothing has happened… it absolutely stinks!! I was speaking to an ex-King’s Lynn manager not long ago and he said if he was in charge still then he’d sack them both after tonight 🤷🏻♂️ I’d have to agree… but it’s harder to get riders in nowadays to replace Edited June 30, 2025 by SuperStarsFan91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted June 30, 2025 Report Share Posted June 30, 2025 (edited) Doesn't matter if Poland put Jan Kvech on a leash now tbh, King's Lynn's season is over anyway. Hopefully next year it's one big league and no big names as it'll be much better rather than clubs having to be on edge when the Polski's make up excuses 24/7 when the reality is that Poland are the ones who are at fault for almost everything.

mikebv Posted July 1, 2025 Report Share Posted July 1, 2025 Riders seem to only ride on licence over here from their Polish clubs... They are "their riders" who they allow to work elsewhere with clear constraints... Let's be honest, bringing some of the "top stars" back hasn't taken the sport, as a whole, forward has it?... But, instead, it has caused a more expensive, more unbalanced, and a very uncompetitive league... When "will they be fhere, won't they be there?", becomes such an ongoing, regular discussion point, it is probably time to do something about it.. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted July 1, 2025 Report Share Posted July 1, 2025 I love Poland as a country, It's the best Country in Europe imo but I just find the Speedway dictatorship hypercritical and a bit of a joke tbh. They complain about injuries and threaten to withdraw riders starting permissions for British racing when the fact is all of the worst injuries happen in Poland (Woffinden and Becker recent examples), I don't see stretchers being whelled out on a regular basis in Britain, Denmark or Sweden. The owners don't really care about rider welfare in Poland and they're more than happy to put the riders health and well being at risk by forcing them to ride in Ekstraliga meetings when not fit enough and then having the audacity to demand that signing on fee's be returned in full if they get injured (Rider welfare only matters to them when injuries occur outside of Poland) Polish Managers always complaining about riders riding in Britain when the fact is, It's actually beneficial to the riders to ride in Britain as it's not a coincidence that all of Zmarzlik's closest challengers in the GP series over the last couple of years either all ride in Britain or have bags of experience on British tracks, If it was the opposite and the Polish managers were in the right then why aren't riders like Kubera challenging Zmarzlik instead considering that they make Dominik look like a superstar on Polish tracks every week in the Ekstraliga. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say a lot of this is untrue and slightly disrespectful to Poland. When was the last time 'factually' someone was threatened to be withdrawn from British speedway and not 'hear say'. I would also argue that Doyle's massive crash at Kings Lynn and Emil's big crash at Sheffield were just as damaging to Polish speedway as is Tai's and Becker's. You don't see stretchers in Britain because you see a few part time volunteer's slowing jogging over to help out whereas Poland brings on the medical team fast and often ambulances even when not technically needed. The owners go to the hospitals and often pay big money (clubs) to give the best treatment and help the riders anyway possible. The riders aren't forced to ride injured and I don't know where people get that from, Emil wasn't forced in the play offs last year for Torun and neither was Doyle this year. Zmarzlik was closely run by Lambert last year who wasn't riding in British speedway and also Lindgren who done only a part season for Birmingham. I understand your frustration but I think you're directing too much blame at Poland. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience of technical tracks definitely improves your skills as a rider but not sure tracks being served up like that one at Brum last night are beneficial to anyone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
