The thing what a lot of people don’t get about polish speedway is you can’t have an off day or even a slightly off day, some clubs worse than others,Pickering would probably had a bollocking for not scoring enough points even though they took him out his ride, it is a different mentality over there than it is in England, over here clubs understand you are human and not everyday you’re at your best but over there you are a machine and if the machine is not a full production they not happy especially if they don’t win but in Poland one thing you don’t do is threaten not to come back next week 

That's probably cost him a fair bit of cash

Slightly off topic but have you seen the video on polish tv of Pickering spitting his dummy out because he was taken out of a ride,it pretty much shows you why he doesn’t ride for leszno anymore 

That, and what about him calling half the GP field "fillers"! I mean, come on, we can agree some riders probably shouldn't be there, but someone who will almost certainly never be a GP rider writing off half the field is a bit much.

Pickering looked so childish & unprofessional there. Wouldn't have been surprised if Leszno didn't pick him again.

... and how much of that was knowing the tv cameras were pointing at him, like when Super Nicki blows a gasket... it's a bit like John McEnroe when he plays a "senior" match, the tantrums are part of the act and are expected and in McEnroe's case probably written into his contract... new balls please 🎾 😂

I'm a massive Pickering fan,ever since he rode over here but..cameras or no cameras,he shouldn't be banding out verbal threats like that and should have accepted the fact that he was being replaced.

the world is a stage, sport politics all entertainment is for the masses, and they haven't a clue what's going on behind the scenes, 🤣

I'm of the opinion riders should be role models. Don't want to teach your kids, that this is acceptable behaviour when you don't get your way!

I know some people thought Wright & Allen shouldn't have been fined for their fight, citing ice-hockey for example.

But I always thought, if you shouldn't pick a fight in the street, why should you on the track / pitch etc.

The worst thing he did for me, was throwing his crash helmet. Stupid thing to do, when you're relying on it to possibly save your life. I've never understood riders who do this.

It's called passion, and speedway would be all the poorer if we didn't have characters who possess a bit.

Passion is controllable, that is just brattish behaviour.
