racers and royals

Stream up and running http://tvsport.pro/channel/302/ lovely evening in Sweden. Underway in Kumla Indianerna 5 Dackarna 1

There is no confusion in the rule book heats 1- 14 the rider goes off 15 m on gate 4 . Only in heat 15 (sup reg 2) does the rider go off his orginal gate 15 m back. Anything that has happened contrary to these rules is A refs cock-up B team managers cock-up. It was changed for heat 15 to stop a team moving gates in the instance of a close match when one team had the bad gates( 1 and 3) and wanted to get their riders on 2 and 4

Please list heats and gates to clarify your argument ? - We can then check the ref`s programme on the BSPA website.

The rule is -15m back always goes from gate 4 and positions are shuffled to allow for that- unless it`s heat 15 when the 15 M rider goes off his allocated gate. Are you saying that didn`t happen ?

Bit of a guess- could it be Barney Kennett in the middle and Martin Yeates on the right ?

Is it MJJ who replaces AJ ??

Good Programme from Eurosport today- all 15 heats plus re-runs as well,

Taken from the Danish leagues website- translated by google Thursday`s semi-final is taking place in Esbjerg with 2 places in the final`s up for grabs. Meeting starts at 5pm UK time and is on Danish TV 2 sport live- however finding a stream will not be easy. maybe we will have to make do with the video. . Finalists must be found! The teams have struggled, and now just missing the last match before the finals. The four participating teams are Esbjerg Vikings, Slangerup Speedway Club, Team Fjelsted and Grindsted Speedway Club. The teams have respectively 4, 2, 1 and 0 points with them into the semifinals. The winner of the semifinal gets 4 match points, second gets three match points, third gets 2 match points while number four is 0 match point. It will be intense. It will be interesting. It is entertainment in absolute topklass! The four teams' rosters: Esbjerg Vikings: Niels Kristian Iversen Mikkel Bech Rene Bach Jesper Søgaard Patrick Hansen Slangerup Speedway Klub: Michael Jepsen Jensen Kenneth Hansen Mikkel Michelsen Nike Lunna Andreas Lyager Team Fjelsted: Peter Kildemand Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen Patrick Hougaard Frederik Jakobsen Daniel Kaczmarek Grindsted Speedway Club: Przemyslaw Pawlicki Nicolai Klindt Krystian Pieszcek Edward Mazur Emil Engstrom

And NKI won`t be there.

With a week to go in the regular season we know who the 2 finalists are in the NICE POLSKA league 18th September Daugavpils v lodz 25th September Lodz v Daugavpils The winner goes to the Extraleague and the loser meets Leszno in the Relegation/promotion play-off (2nd and 9th October) Could be all a bit off a waste of time as Daugavpils have been refused entry to the Extraleague for at least 2 years I believe and possibly more. Therefore Lodz might get asked to join Extraleague even if they lose to Daugavpils. As for lodz or Daugavpils beating Leszno over 2 legs is just laughable !!!! My summary of the Nice Polska season is that it`s been a bit of a disaster- last winter caused a load of problems with teams going bust and being refused league licences for 2016- leaving not enough teams for 3 polish leagues- hence the 11 teams in the league. However Opole and Rawicz riding home matches only( and against each other) has been pathetic, both suffering numerous heavy beatings. Hopefully this winter will bring better news with teams like Ostrow, Lublin Gniezno and Poznan returning to league action along with re-vamped Swietochlowice in 2017.
