racers and royals

Thanks-I didn`t twig that 2 different outfits were broadcasting the GP`s-is 1 cable and 1 satellite ? bit like SKY and Virgin over here.

Thanks-out of interest how do they show them-world feed with their own commentators ? I have seen Erik Stenlund at GP`S is he involved ? Do they go back to a studio at any stage ?

Is TV10/VIASAT a subscription channel ?

"Yes - great isn't? :rolleyes: " TV is big business for BSI Pretty sure live GP`s are on a pay-per-view channel in Sweden(c more ) so it`s a no brainer not having a Swede in it.

If only for Swedish TV`s sake they have to have a Swedish rider in the series.

It will be interesting if any other broadcaster fancies outbidding Premier sports for the coverage overhere.(contract ran-out this season) Certainly very enjoyable watching over the season.

Thanks

Lots of opinions around by respected Polish Journalists including taking away the Silver medal from Torun.Long suspensions for the Torun officals.Big compensation will need to be paid to Zielona Gora to cover the returned admission.However the general consensus of opinion is that the torun fans weren`t to blame and shouldn`t be excessively punished.Torun`s inexperienced management are clearly to blame and I for one am sure that had someone like Marek Cieslak been in charge at Torun we wouldn`t have had all this nonsense. I also blame the Extraleague officals for allowing the Torun team to leave Zielona Gora before dicussions took place to ensure the match took place.It was all so stupid Hampel and Dudek could have crashed in their opening rides ruling themselves out of the meeting-one never knows what`s going to happen.

Injured again Monday ??

Sportowefakty are reporting that Tai Woffinden has informed the organisers that he is going to ride at Rzeszow on Sunday. If true is he being wise ?

Surely the wild card needs to be named in the next day or two.

Google translation of Torun statement on Sportowefakty "As explained bosses Unibaksu , the team has not been able to match on Sunday due to problems with the composition .

As explained to the media , the decision to resign from the start has been made ​​only in place in Zielona Gora. Toruń even on a Sunday morning they hoped that Tomasz Gollob will be able to ride in this meeting . - We wanted the game was spaced at equal strength, that it was a decent show. Tomasz Gollob No you could not count on it - explained . Stelmet bosses Falubaz heard on the site proposal to final second leg was postponed. Toruń proposed to play it for two weeks - October 6 . Capable of driving would have been if Gollob said . When it became clear that the two sides did not reach an agreement, the decision not to join the match seemed Supervisory Board , led by its chairman , James Nadachewiczem . According to Slawomir Kryjoma , contrary to what the media reported , the club has not challenged the decision of the same players . They said for that, since they are one team , you have to surrender a top-down decision . Representatives Unibaksu did not want to answer questions about possible sanctions .

The press conference summed up in words, that because of the injury Tomasz Gollob , Toruń " had no way worthy of being driven away match in Zielona Gora" . According to representatives of Unibaksu , withdrawal from the start it was a better option than to join the meeting in the composition of the heavily weakened " Can`t really imagine that with gollob lying in a Stockholm hospital they were expecting him to ride !!!

Vaculik rode for Tarnow yesterday so should be ok.

The mods have taken an interest in this thread-deleating some words and a link-so can I categorically state that this meeting is not available to watch in the UK and the USA and Canada. I will be on my way back from Poland whilst this meeting takes place so I couldn`t have seen it anyway even if it was on and it`s absolutely no use in sending a PM to brandonbee48 between 5pm to 5.30 pm uk time because he will be at home in the states cursing that he can`t watch it. Soccer live in Poland is always big on Sunday`s and I hope it doesn`t rain heavily in the Tarnow region as small rivers could easily develop.

12,000 in Gdansk too see them promoted to the extraleague-Nicki Pedersen back there in 2014 ???

The Leszno v Rzeszow farce earlier in the season and now this has left me seriously deflated-heads must roll :mad:
