Polish media are reporting that Daugavpils will NOT be in the Extraleague in 2016 -Rybnik and Ostrow have been sounded out to whether they are interested in competing in the Extraleague.

How can you say it`s going to be a real weak line-up ?? You don`t think they will be running against Polish Extraleague matches do you ?? All the GP riders are available plus I`m sure they will endeavour to get Emil, the Laguta`s and Vaculik for instance.

I have to go out so it looks as if you are on your own watching heat details http://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/wydarzenie/57161

Just a reminder about this meeting starting in 3 hours time.

I was there and I felt at the time the FIM officials should have been stronger and put the 2 minutes on and said the racing goes on. The Jury president was Tony steele with Andrzej Grodzki as Jury member along with the ref Jim Lawrence.

I`m not sure that anyone has ever thought that there is another starting position "a few feet away from the normal position" Have you been drinking what people expect is a spare set of two poles which can replace the original set if they do not work properly. Too much to expect ??

Dudek is the latest rider named for the Polish team

9.15am uk time I think- not on GMT until Saturday night !

Yet you don`t refer to my post 13 which put you right on a few things !!!

Eurosport do not have the European rights to show the GP`s and SWC - it is only the British rights they hold- and they run out after Melbourne. The rest of Europe is covered by separate contracts with for instance Canal + Poland, TV 10 Sweden and TV 3 sport in Denmark. From the little I know it`s likely to be between British Eurosport and BT sport for the new contract. The European championships (SEC) and the pairs(SBP) is a different contract between One Sport/FIM Europe and Pan-European Eurosport. I also think that the Swedish league contract is also up for renewal and there were rumours coming out from Sweden that Eurosport (pan- European)would not be interested in continuing with the coverage.

That was me looking at the ticket website on Saturday dinner-time just after they had gone off sale. Sure it said 1000 left-maybe that was the standing tickets.

Yes unfortunate about the timing-Screm did post at 5.46pm on the GP thread that he was not riding - but understandable you didn`t see it.
