Once the social distancing is reduced I would agree ,but there are a number of Stadiums with relatively small capacity but like you say their normal crowds are in the hundreds(how many do they need to be financially viable). I think your last sentence sums up what might be the case though.Will they risk watching Speedway in detriment too their health and mental state, their financial situation might have changed in this situation.

This maybe true, but based on attendances at most tracks they need their normal crowds to turn out just to be financially viable, depend what kind of meetings they are running and what riders will be available for some clubs .I can think of a few tracks that have the same problem as Glasgow regarding paying audience .Interesting to see if a short season can return decent attendances.

Possibly only young Poles available due to the 14 quarantine on imported riders so sticking with him.

What’s the feeling.

It seems in all your articles your are the only one with common sense

Lebedevs is all over the place in most of his races,he doesn’t seem to have any awareness of what’s going on round about him.Lambert rightly excluded though.

Have to Agree.

agree, if you want to keep your team place don’t run round at the back pulling wheelies if you miss the gate. I have moaned about the fact that some riders in UK can win a race then be the length of the straight behind in next, definitely not right IMO. lack of effort IMO.

They certainly let you know where you stand if you run a last place(in the pits)

Batchelor is another one that was ok in Div2 but struggling against top guys.He seems to upset them though for whatever reason.

Madsen has to be one of the most improved riders in the World over the last couple of seasons.Like you say he has some superb passes coming out the turns.He won’t be far away GP wise on what we are seeing.

Madsen certainly does not flatter to deceive,I like Emil but he certainly has not fulfilled his potential yet more than the riders you mention. Talk sense.

Don’t understand the criticism of Polish Speedway action,it no different to any other Country or Tracks.Good meetings ,Poor Meetings.Polish fans turn up in large numbers to watch(in normal circumstances).I personally enjoy Polish action.When you have got the Top Men in the Sport racing each other it’s pretty obvious that Overtaking will be difficult ,but there is no lack of effort from any of the Riders.

Fricke damaged Kolodiez bike who was unable to continue that why the race was stopped and Fricke Disqualified. Right decision IMO.

They might ban spectators if there was a spike in infections ,doubt that they would close the sport down .IMO There would be the same issues over here no doubt,when you see the number of people ignoring the lock down at public gatherings.

That was a decent meeting .IMO .Some close tussles for the points.

Even on a level start they are getting to the 1st bend in front.!

Bewlay is not going to last long unless he improves his gating.

Fricke has had a slow start to his year.

Madsen looks sharp and fast, his inside passes are sublime IMO.

I’d be pi##ed off if KK was in my Team.

Rider replacement

Castagna said the U/21 commission confirms the field( whoever they are)and they also removed some of the weaker riders replacing them with riders from other Nations.”we also removed the weaker riders “suggests Castagna had a say .We shall see!!

What I am saying is he will probably get a wild card.Poland won’t put him forward ,it would cause to much trouble.

He will have certainly seen Chuganov,and it an easy decision IMO.Unless he want an Italian to win it
