Hosts Poland are seeded into the Final, with Australia, Great Britain, Sweden, Denmark, Czech Republic, Finland, France and Germany contesting the Semi-Finals after qualifying at the 2022 FIM Speedway of Nations. Each Monster Energy FIM SWC event features four countries, each with a team composed of five riders – four starters and a reserve at No.5. Each rider can take a maximum of six rides – five regular rides plus one tactical substitute ride. No.5 riders can replace any of their teammates in a heat at any time, taking a maximum of six rides – five regular rides plus one tactical substitute ride when permitted. Tactical substitutions are allowed when a team is six or more points behind the leading nation. Each rider can only take ONE tactical substitute ride. Every Monster Energy FIM SWC event is contested over 20 heats with three points for a heat win, two for second, one for third and zero for last place, being disqualified or failing to finish. The country with the most points at the end of the night wins the event. The line-ups for heats 17-20 are nominated by the team managers, with the team manager of the fourth-placed country selecting first and the manager of the leading nation nominating last. The winners of Semi-Finals 1 and 2 join hosts Poland in the Monster Energy FIM Speedway World Cup Final. The second and third-placed teams in Semi-Final 1 and 2 advance to the Race Off, where the winner also earns a place in the Final. The winner of the Monster Energy FIM SWC Final will be crowned world team champion for 2023.

My favourite competition is back and starts next week Sadly Daugavpils do not take part in 2023 so we only have 72 matches this season instead of 74 last. 2 matches( Wednesday/Thursday) next week at Lublin, Grudziadz, Zielona Gora, Ostrow and Czestochowa. Each match result is 4 for the win, 3 for 2nd , 2 for 3rd and 1 for last.

We won`t know for sure until the schedule comes out for that day but i would imagine Eurosport and Discovery +

Match points and then race points in a mini league of the losers.

Both Rybnik and Opole meetings this week postponed.

Literally anyone- Pavlic has retired i think, so Will they choose Zagar as Slovenia is next door ?

Not sure it could be anything else but slipped in between end of regular season and semi- finals !!!! All round dates on previous page. Rounds 15/16 is QF’s 1 v 6, 2 v 5 and 3 v 4 over 2 legs Rounds 17/ 18 are semi’s with 3 QF winners plus best loser.

Is this a new name Laura Manciet, FIM Speedway championships director

Still awaiting the wildcard to be named.
