Lebedevs cannot be in SEC in 2027

After the SEC we now know the Wildcards are 4 in number.

I know Stewmac would say the same- it’s our pleasure.

Final SEC 2026 standings 1st Madsen 47 2nd Janowski 46 3rd Woryna 42 4th MJJ 41 5th Michelsen 40 6th Dudek 38 ARO This means that the FIM /Mayfield have an extra GP Wildcard pick - now 4 up from 3

I have just realised that if the 5 GP boys wish to do the SEC again in 2027 then they need to finish in the top 6 in the final standings.

Just a reminder English commentary available through Fanseat PPV or TVP Sport Poland link later.

Danes have just announced changes to the set up in 2027. 6 riders per team - 2 must be U 21 of which 1 can be a foreigner. could also be out of the 6 - 3 must be Danes.

Sunday’s matches line-ups Baraz 2nd leg Gorzow v Poznan (43-47) start time 4pm UK time Gorzow 9 Przedpelski 10 D Andrzejczak 11 Wright 12 K Fajfer 13 Thomsen 14 Bednar 15 Kordun 16 Poznan 1 Douglas 2 Pludra 3 NKI 4 Berge 5 Smektala 6 Mencel 7 Witkowski 8 Grand final 2nd leg Wroclaw v Torun (35-55) start time 6.30pm UK time Wroclaw 9 Laguta 10 Janowski 11 Kowalski 12 Bewley 13 Kurtz 14 Andersen 15 Kowolik 16 Torun 1 Dudek 2 Lambert 3 Blodorn 4 Michelsen 5 Sayfutdinov 6 Kawczynski 7 Duchinski 8

Ryan Douglas is leaving Poznan bound for the Extraleague, with the smart money on him joining Bydgoszcz.

Saturday’s match 3rd/ 4th place 2nd Leg Lublin v Leszno ( 44-46 ) start time 6.30pm Lublin 9 Vaculik 10 Cierniak 11 Woryna 12 Lindgren 13 Zmarzlik 14 Banbor 15 Jaworski 16 Leszno 1 Piotr Pawlicki 2 Rew 3 Zengota 4 Kolodziej 5 B Cook 6 Parnitskyi 7 Gano 8

It might annoy you but Onesport who pay a fraction for the SEC rights compared to the GP were muscling in on using GP riders in the series and this was a FIM compromise. Only GP riders that finish in the top 6 of the SEC standings can carry on in the SEC the following season- none can do qualifying or be wildcard picks.

Saturday’s play-down final 2nd leg Pila v Ostrow ( 32-58 ) start time 4pm UK time. Pila 9 M Curzytek 10 Jasinski 11 Nielsen 12 Basso 13 Lyager 14 B Lewandowski 15 Barylka 16 Ostrow 1 Jakobsen 2 Rudowicz 3 Seifert-Salk 4 Chugunov 5 C Holder 6 Sitek 7 G Szostak 8

Apart from one important fact that the FIM have the final say on accepting a Wildcard nomination and there is no way Laguta or Safytudinov would be given the green light.

No difference for years !! Was 1,4,6,7 -add 2 becomes 3,6,8,9 Was 2,3,5,8 - add 2 becomes 4,5,7,10 past both added up to 18 ie fair now both add up to 26 ie fair

So after the final GP on Saturday we now know that only Janowski, Kvech or Michelsen can realistically claim the GP 2027 place for being SEC Champion. Anyone else and the FIM/Mayfield get an extra wildcard pick from 3 to 4. Current leaderboard Madsen 34 Woryna 34 MJJ 33 Jankowski 33 Dudek 30 Kvech 29 Michelsen 28

And if my uncle was my Aunt !!! You would have still been in the comp with a round to go LOL Around £19,800 going into the final round i make it.

Final is live on Polish TV TVP Sport start time 4pm UK time. English commentary available on PPV from Tapes up TV. https://www.tapesup.tv/fixtures/upcoming

Brilliant match Poznan v Gorzow - probably the best Baraz match for a long time.

Not confirmed yet but it appears that Poznan are allowed to use RR (ZZ ) for the injured Berge.
