Nicki Pedersen school of team riding there 

Akin to team riding with Charles Manson...

[THE DEAN MACHINE]

I would go as far to say zmarzlik should receive a red card for that,it was a overly hard unnecessary move even if it was his team mate 

[TTT]

Lublin track in a nutshell in that race with Banbor winning the heat ahead of MJJ.

[gjcone44]

cant say MJJ wasn't trying there.

No, I think when he came back in pits he questioned how bandor thought he had the right to pass him 

😂! no he actually  said to him “I’m sorry I didn’t see you”

Harsh from ZG but it had to be done tbh.

Lebedevs is getting better with every passing year tbh whilst Hampel was heading the other way.

I agree with you! Although, and I’m being deadly serious, in Poland and all over media there is such thing as “the lebedevs curse”

2 years before -  ride for Krosno = down

1 year before - ride for Leszno = down

This season - ride for Stal = …

Much like the Aaron Ramsdale curse in Football.

ZG have got a good squad going for 2026 though so if Gorzow do go down then he'll surely beat the curse in 2026?

Kubera, Lebedevs, Madsen and Shamek P is a rock solid quartet.

We left Wolverhampton on Thursday around 2pm drove to Dover to catch 8pm ferry to find Mrs had booked wrong date 😂, sorted that out then drive straight to zielona gora (12 hours split driving between me and Mrs ) where booked a hotel for the night, went to meeting, brought merch from the ZG shop then back to hotel, next day had fabulous breakfast in hotel and then drive to Wrocław where we booked in the radison blue hotel, spent the day in the old town where in a market I found a book I was in so brought it lol and went to GP via an uber and back to hotel again in an uber where we were in the bar with all the travel plus lot, next morning drove to Gorzow, parked right opposite track for free ,again purchased from their shop, after meeting we set off home, stopping in services somewhere mid Germany where we slept for 4 hours and got food then got the 6pm ferry back to Blighty arriving back around 11pm in Wolverhampton, I had loaded my van ready to go to Isle of Wight next morning but it was called off so I went to work instead

Totally agree it’s strong on paper!

Like I said to my partner who is from Gorzow, my issue isn’t with lebedevs, it’s more with how the club has been allowed to be run under the former president which has completely broken them. I would say personally Lebedevs fights more in the races for position than vaculik who looks for safety more often than not.

[THE DEAN MACHINE]

Should be close this one, I think rybnik will do enough over 2 legs but hoping gorzow do it because I think they bring more to the extraleague then rybnik but saying that I would rather have Bydgoszcz than both 

[TTT]

Looking forward to this one, Think it's going to be very close over both legs and the result will all hinge on how Paluch performs imo.

Gorzow have the bigger names like Vaculik for example but he's underperformed this season.

Hope Gorzow stay up just for ShanoXtra.

from my hotel i had to walk through a forest, to the zelona gora track i was on forth bend also got tee rubbish and at gorzow, only needed 2 taxis, whole trip every thing was in walking distance, food and beer cheap and excellent in the stadiums. oh i beat you on price for my ticket in gorzow, 30 zloty's. was on 3rd bend 😁

[Shockster]

Rider Replacement is a big advantage for Gorzow.  I think it saves them.

[Shockster]

Looks very slick 

[ShanoXtra]

Rybnik to win both legs.

Vaculik signed already for Lublin

Lebedevs signed in principle for Falubaz 

Anders no club currently for 2026.

And Gorzow can’t afford to pay the riders for the next four matches unless they stay up. Absolute disaster and circus.

[gjcone44]

i have a soft spot for Rybnik think they give lambert, bewley and Kurtz 1st chance in Poland., then lost them following years

[TTT]

Rybnik haven't turned up.

Could be a long night in store for them unless they get things together ASAP.

[Shockster]

Great ride from the cursed Lebedev.
