racers and royals

Fingers crossed that both matches go ahead- another chance to see my " tip for the top" Dominik Kossakowski in the 1st match. It looks as if Grudziadz have left Lindback out of today`s team- which is rather surprising.

This looks to be a decent local site https://www.yr.no/place/Slovenia/Kr%C5%A1ko/Kr%C5%A1ko/long.html they might just be ok- although practice on Friday could be off.

Pieszcek is a good prospect - however only positioned at 1 for tactical reasons.

Karpov`s fault ?? Hancock and Holder not impressing the Torun management tonight !!! Not the greatest meeting tonight so onto tomorrow`s action.

I think it probably only is Tai Woffinden- but with the weather in Poland recently he will be riding in Krsko without riding in a competitive match in 2017. He obviously will have tested and practised a fair bit but will he be at a disadvantage to his competitors ?

Pepe was lucky - engine exploded !!!!

Adam Ellis riding in Poland tonight http://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/73323/speed-car-motor-lublin-t-ostrovia

Watching on http://aliez.me/live/dsup7mnb/ Football on until 7pm

If you are right and you are not allowed guest or R/R for a 2-5 on FIM world championship duty- why is the rule in there ?

Polish match on Sunday is on TV so will be able to see how he goes there.

Lovely evening in Zielona Gora

I might have been fairly quiet, however I have been beavering around in the background- thinking of anything that might have happened in the past that I can use in my defence. The subpoena to Alan Trump is in the post.

Whilst I`m more than happy to acknowledge that I was wrong in thinking a guest would be allowed last evening, it would be good to know why Brady Kurtz was actually stopped from riding. Rule 18.10.1 is obviously in there for a reason and I can only assume that the DMU qualifier status of the Danish meeting did not meet the 18.10.1 criteria. If anyone knows Rosco or Gary May maybe we can be told why !!

I agree it muddies the water but 18.10.1 is clear for this occasion- and you to laugh if Somerset have fallen foul of the 7 day rule.

The rules however say that they can use a guest in this instance. 18.10 just covers the facility.

The world championship is an FIM inscribed competition- so that starts with the national qualifiers. The rule is clear to me- guest or R/R is permitted.
