Janusz Kolodziej goes to Debrecen replacing injured Kubera

Just to clarify Appendix 1a which starts on page 30 of these Regs https://www.fim-moto.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Documents/2023/2023_FIM_Track_Racing_Appendices_-_08.05.2023.pdf?t=1684245011 is indeed an area which doesn`t cover GP`s- the racing rules bit which does cover GP`s comes well before that under section 10 starting on page 22 of the same regs.

I have just had confirmation from a FIM GP official that this rule DOES apply in GP`s c) if the referee has cause to stop a heat after the leading rider has passed the start/finish line to commence the last lap, the referee has the sole discretion to award the heat based upon the positions of the competitors at the time the heat was caused to be stopped. The disqualified rider will be awarded no points and any competitors behind the disqualified riders will advance one place. Edit i have just watched the final crash again and it`s difficult to see when the Red light came on and whether Jack Holder had just started the final lap. What i do know was that either he just had or was mighty close to starting it. If he hadn`t obviously the referee had no option to award.

Extraleague is top rider for RR. Div 1 and 2 is top 3 still for RR.

Details for Motala on Sunday 16th July start time 2pm UK time Draw is dependant on result from round 1 Group A 9th, 1st, 5th, 4th and 8th Group B 3rd, 10th, 2nd, 7th, and 6th

Lublin v Krosno Monday May 15th https://vk.com/video-53550004_456241298

Over 1 hour delay- now 7.30pm Uk Time(hopefully)

Poland don`t allow RR for anyone in the top 5 - i think it`s top 3 but could be just top 1- i`m still trying to clarify.

UCOZ live - programme starts 6pm
