RESERVE Латвия 18. RESERVE Латвия Is kylmakorpi injured again- looks as if Covatti replaces him edit Kylmakorpi is ill - meeting starts at 5pm UK time

He rode Sunday so it can`t be that.

Kylmakorpi didn`t ride in Sweden last night-although programmed. Anyone know why and is he riding tonight ?

A mini Speedway extravaganza on TV over Saturday and Sunday-all UK times Saturday programme starts 15.30 1st race 15.45 live stream(Sabmar TV) of Silver helmet final from Rawicz-you tube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEU9rOPiJvQ programme starts 5pm SEC EURO 2nd round from Daugavpils- see separate thread Sunday programme starts 3.30pm 1st race 4pm Rybnik v Leszno programme starts 6pm 1st race 6.30pm Torun v Gorzow For stream extraleague http://soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport http://www.meczyki.pl/ http://livelooker.com/en/tv,7,speedway.html

video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yH-AGVzoK4 With just 2 rounds of the regular season to go it looks as if 3 of the play-off teams are known 1 Rospiggarna 25 pts 2 piraterna 22 3 Indianerna 19 then it gets interesting for the last place 4 Masarna 15 5 Dackarna 15 6 Vetlanda 12 The fixtures that matter are wk13 Rospiggarna v Indianerna ( 45-45 from 1st match) Vetlanda v Masarna(40-50 from 1st match) Piraterna v Dackarna(46-44 from 1st match) wk 14 Lejonen v Piraterna(35-55 from 1st match) Masarna v Smederna(47-43 from 1st match) Indianerna v Vetlanda(45-45 from 1st match) Dackarna v Rospiggarna(44-46 from 1st match) looking at that lot Masarna for me will be the 4th team into the play-offs.

Kylmakorpi not riding- replaced in his rides by the reserves

There was -Holder came last- like he`s doing in Sweden tonight.

Masarna v Rospiggarna start delayed because of rain.

Now confirmed live on TV start time 6.30pm uk time Tv matches now announced for the round 13 Polish bank holiday matches on Monday 15th August- all uk times 4pm Grudziadz v Leszno 6.30pm Gorzow v Zielona Gora- cease fire by the fans because it`s a bank holiday

For once I can watch it live-looks a good crowd in Malilla

You can't have been doing much picking if tomorrow is your first live match of the season !

So I Suppose the next question is- why does Greg not want to ride in the SWC ?

Pretty sure the draft rider at 7 was for" Initial teams building only" when the new averages kicked in it was lowest 2 riders at 6 and 7. I found this while checking Clarification Article 23: APPENDICES The SCB Members reviewed the Regulations in relation to the varying Penalties being applied to the following Articles. It was decided that uniformity was to be a key factor and therefore decided that there should be PRESCREPTIVE PENALTIES for these Offences. Art 5.4.4 : Riding on the Infield (prior to a Heat) : Classed as a Starting offence (ie. Included in Art 15.3) therefore the Penalty is as described in Art 15.16 (Handicap Heat rules) Art 5.4.4: Riding on the Infield (after a Heat): Fine of 1 “point” (1st Offence / not causing danger) or as permitted in Art 3.4.1.2 if considered dangerous or is a 2nd offence. Art 15.3: Classed as a Starting Offence (Penalty as described in Art 15.16) Art 15.3.1 : Warning for 1st Offence, (if the Rider commits a 2nd offence during the Meeting, the Penalty is as described in Art 15.16) For clarity therefore: A Handicap or Reserve Replacement is to be the penalty for each of the following: Touching the Tapes Returning into the Pits Exceeding 2-minute time allowance Riding across the Infield (prior to the start of a Heat) A 2nd Offence (following a Warning) during the Meeting of incorrectly preparing the gate, disobeying the Start Marshal and moving during illumination of the Green Light before release of the Tapes. Note : Gate preparation after the expiry of the 2 minute warning is an offence as per Art 15.3 Issued: Wednesday 13th July 2016

No - rode Sunday in Poland http://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/wydarzenie/62367

Looks as if the new date for Leszno v Zielona Gora is Thursday 11th August

Maksims Bogdanovs confirmed as wildcard.

FIM EUROPE and ONE SPORT are very slow in announcing the draw- but here are the spreads at the moment the start time is unclear- anytime between 1800 and 1900 local(Latvia is 2 hours ahead of us) so do not leave it too late in placing those bets !!
