This thread of mine is always updated by me and you won`t miss a match if you keep an eye on it(post 1)

Approx 240 KM about 150 miles by road. Direct train takes 2to 2hours 30 mins

Yes Mark I will- as I did when they announced the 1st 3 rounds recently. This is quite good for the Nice and div 2 news https://www.pzm.pl/zuzel/komunikaty

Historically they have blocks of 4/5 weeks and usually about 3 weeks before the 1st week of the block

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it’s OFF. Snow was on the track yesterday and the forecast isn’t great for the weekend

Hi Rocketrod, I would definitely do Czestochowa v Leszno on the Sunday- Czestochowa is a great racetrack and not to far from Krakow. Not sure yet if there will be Nice Polska/div 2 matches on the Saturday however there is a meeting at Gniezno(European U21 team semi-final) definitely- although quite a distance from Czestochowa.

You are being very helpful today I was right about the reserves as well

In the SEC he was terrible- finishing 12th with 20pts over the 4 meetings

As it`s the last step before the GP`s I would think it`s important that there are 2 reserves present in Landshut. I`m really missing using Speedway.org for info- do you or Doug know of an alternative ??

Aren`t I clever suggesting what they have done As for the reserves they might go 1st reserve from 4th place in Qualifier 1 2nd reserve 4th place in qualifier 2 etc etc. If any of the 3 picks are 4th placed finishers then they go 4th place left and then 5th place. Does that make sense Edit If you knew in February- why didn`t you post it.

We don`t yet know how they are going to work out the qualifiers for the final- let alone the reserves Presumably Germany must have a wildcard for the Landshut final- so it can`t be 4 from each qualifier. So is it 3 from each and 3 picks from the FIM + the wildcard ? I will have to ask Armando

Short video with the " star " looking well

1 rider still to be named- draw here https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/85512/memorial-edwarda-jancarza-w-gorzowie

Semi`s and final postponed- semi`s now on Tuesday 10th April and the final date TBA

As regards Sweden- until the announcement on April 2nd by Spring Media- I wouldn`t take as gospel what Premier are saying.
