I don't know I'm afraid. Possibly the former, but maybe simply the lack of practice sessions so far. Leszno hasn't had an outing yet. Hopefully tomorrow will be the first one.

PoBandzie publish some excellent articles and interviews. It's much less tabloid'y which is great in the era of a complete decline of SportoweFakty's journalism quality.

Sadly the Swindon - Leszno test on March 16th has now been called off (apologies if that's not really news to anyone here). The 2nd leg on March 24th in Leszno is doubtful but still on the cards.

It's too early to be sure of course but many of the pre-season friendlies from Leszno are streamed online for free. So fingers crossed the Swindon one will also be available!

The following pre-season matches have just been announced by the official Unia Leszno website: March 16th (Monday) Swindon Robins – Unia Leszno March 23rd (Monday) PRACTICE Leszno: Swindon Robins & Unia Leszno March 24th (Tuesday) Unia Leszno – Swindon Robins

What would you still consider commutable? Rawicz, Opole, and Ostrów are between 4 and 5h each way. Poznań is more like 5.5h, Łódź is closer to 6h.

Dawid Stachyra, Marcin Rempała and Adam Ellis join the Rzeszów line-up.

Kim Nilsson signs for Tarnow.

I think that Celine Liebmann will only be 19 next year so she could be one of the Wittstock reserves alongside Fienhage. Moeser will be 22 yo in 2020.

Patryk Rolnicki, Edward Mazur, Stanisław Burza, Patrick Hansen, Kenneth Hansen, Ilja Czałow, Mateusz Majcher (U21) and Konrad Miłkoś (U21) sign for Rzeszów. Rzeszów will probably bring other U21 riders in as guests. Their lineup looks very decent though.

Wroclaw have now signed Bewley for 2 years.

Sayfutdinov and Kurtz signed 2 year deals with Leszno, and Lidsey stays for 3 years. Also, Leigh Adams will now be coaching Aussie young talents for Unia Rawicz lineup: Baliński, Pawlak, Lidsey, Gilmore, Rew, Nagibin U21: Szlauderbach, Pludra, Sadurski. Pludra will also race for the first Leszno team, probably competing with Szlauderbach for the reserve spot alongside Kubera.

Andreas Lyager and Brayden McGuinness have signed with Bydgoszcz.

Damian Dróżdż, Marcin Jędrzejewski, Andriej Karpov, Eduard Krcmar, Vadim Tarasienko, and Mathias Thoernblom have all signed with Krosno.
