Ulamek has joined Gniezno and Zengota to Leszno

Batchelor has apparently been told by Leszno he is surplus to requirements

Artem-If he re-discovers his 2010 form-not very good this season.

As far as i`m aware 7 teams in div 1 and 5 teams in div 2. No fixtures as yet. In Div 1 they are keeping the play-off format the same as this year.

Quote from Greg on the speedway GP website Hancock is confident he can still find the right offer, and says money won’t be the only factor he takes into consideration as he decides his next destination. He added: “I want to be in a team that wants to build a winning side. That’s always important. “There are plenty of options on the table. The ones that say the right things are the ones I want to go to. I’m waiting for that word. “The contracts are there and often it doesn’t come down to the money. It comes down to what they are trying to build, and what kind motivation and words they are using when you talk to them.”

Will Vetlanda go for Janusz Kolodziej to replace Crumpy ?

Pretty sure that`s not the case with the top five-it`s going to be 4 out of 5. If not Ward or Miedzinski would have been off like a shot-9 matches out of 18 they would not be happy.

I can answer the World cup joker question-yes its retained but only until heat 16 however the normal tac sub of a rider can still be done in the last 4 heats (nominated 17-20)

Looks as if Torun are going to have a squad system and including both Ward and Miedinski so every match someone will have to drop out which could be anyone of Holder,Sullivan Gollob,Ward and Miedinski.

Where will Jarek Hampel end up ?

Thanks Done If anyone is wondering about the 40pt limit in Poland it covers the top 6 riders only(i think)

Or even a bit of both which is highly convenient for a 3 pt average

Only a few individual meetings have been held on Saturdays in the past-however with this new system/agreement in place between the major speedway nations,Poland have put a lot of Thursday/Saturday dates in for possible re-arrangments.

It`s a blank reserved weekend at the moment-all depends on re-scheduled matches or rain-offs
