Google translation of Sportowefakty article Polish Motor Union does not want to further cooperation with Ole Olsen. If the BSI, the organizer of Grand Prix will not allow another company to build the track, this competition at the National Stadium will not take place.

Some new re-arranged dates all the 4 postponed matches on June 14th - round 8 will be held on Sunday July 19th the new date for the postponed round 4 match Tarnow v Zielona gora is Thursday 6th August

Marvellous kept away from the score and details from yesterday`s TV match to watch on good old British Eurosport at the scheduled time of 9.30am and they are showing live Snooker from China

They use a squad system in Denmark and can also put out a team without a grade A rider and use a further B rider-so it`s as many times as the club and rider agree he rides/misses.

The other day you asked the time of practice which is 12 noon and is not compulsory so no rider is going to miss a fixture in these circumstances. Edit his Danish team have a fixture on Friday however I still expect him to be riding for Coventry.

You need to learn how to check airline schedules-Hans will be at Coventry and be in Torun by 11am Sat AM

One change this season which has helped the TV SGP/SWC programmes is the return of Steve Brandon-no longer combining a floor manager role with interviewing. He now alongside the interviews is cast as a pit side reporter and can give the commentary duo upto date info from the pits-probably us watching on Eurosport don`t get his full output which the world feed do get(Eurosport probably are showing the previous 4 races segment)

3 hour video of the final https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8snq80jVUs

She also questioned whether the "commentators comments" were live comments- hopefully I answered that.

Can we get one thing straight-the Eurosport highlights programme was the live BSI/IMG output edited down to a 2 hour programme-Of course Pearson and tatum were live-they don`t work for Eurosport - Eurosport just take the picture and commentary package as one. If anyone thinks Eurosport are marvellous at editing, they should have watched the last Swedish league match they showed, when in a hours programme to show 15 heats they cut out heat 2 !!!!

Did anyone else hear Nigel Pearson say during the world cup that the Cardiff track is going in early this year.

So we move on to round 9 next Sunday 21st June(not forgetting the 1st round of the Euro`s on Sat evening 6pm-uk time)-all uk times 1st up 12.15pm for 12.45pm 1st race Div 1 Ostrow v Daugavpils 3.30pm for 4pm 1st race Wroclaw v Torun 6pm for 6.30pm 1st race Gorzow v Tarnow http://soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport http://livelooker.com/en/tv,7,speedway.html http://www.meczyki.pl/

Jacques -Speedway`s not totally unpredictable, I led after round 2,3 and 4

Can`t see anything on the planner for Swedish league on Eurosport Tuesday 16th June. Indianerna v Rosppigarna Edit on Wednesday morning 9.30am for 1 hour -just about better than nothing I suppose. Further edit live on Eurosport Europe Tuesday evening

Anyone who took part is more than welcome to take part in the Euro`s comp which starts on Saturday In Torun-live on Eurosport http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=79468&hl= It`s not complicated at all.
