How many more does he want???

Or keep everything the same?...

Cierniak going backwards in his career...

BZ runs a last against Przyjemski, Musielak, and Kubera... Making up no ground whatsoever...

Squeeky bum time for Woryna on that first turn... He likes riding the boards...!!!

Something up there at those numbers....

Not sure, however, the Polish teams tend to foot the bill for the riders rehab, regardless of where they were riding when they got their injuries.. And it can easily run into high five figure costs... Meaning the rider's UK team can benefit from their rider coming back quicker...

Yes, but ideally run one, as two can impact each other. . Uninstall the one that isn't working and try another... I use "adblock for Samsung"... Obviously it will depend on what phone you use WK...

It is all a bit strange isn't it?... Quite a large part of following UK Speedway is to not take anything too seriously, and have a bit of a laugh at what is allowed to take place by those who run it... Plus have some banter and pee taking with those fans of a differing persuasion... Very serious some people...

That was my summation too... Poland run a sport with four juniors riding against the Worlds best but also have two nominated races which, usually, puts the top four from each team up against each other again... Maybe their heat structure could be used over here?.. Puts pressure on where it should be too during the meeting, ie on the HL's when they race with a junior against two from the opposition's top five.. Either defending your teams score with a win, or losing points due to losing the heat...

#aceslegend.....

No! No! No!... 15 Heats, Seven rider teams!! It's the only way!!! I remember several years ago they devised a formula which meant the best riders rode against each other more often in a meeting.. Some of the best racing I have witnessed in many, many years.. And then they stopped doing it.. ????????

In the midst off time, so maybe not remembered too well.. But. Wasnt the fine exactly what Torun paid Peterborough for his services..?..

Guaranteed to be rearranged on a night when Poland has a Div 2 match on TV, or their top tier have rearranged a called off meeting, so riders missing...

Wroclaw had told the Aces and Ipswich that the Aces will keep Doyle and Dan will ride for Ipswich in the play offs. They don't want Dan and Brady riding in the same team over here in case they crash into each other...

Brilliant from Kurtz, and Wroclaw... Surprised they won without a Guest though...😁

Who are the Aces most well known for? Most riders have two teams over here and often one abroad... All of whom, by definition of the rider riding for them, play an equal part in the development of the rider... Dan, as an example, rode for the Colts but also rode for Edinburgh, Glasgow and Workington, during his "nurturing phase", and also rode for Rybnik during this time.. As well as Rospiggarna in Sweden... Rybnik also paid for his medical care and rehab when he suffered a major injury, and Wroclaw are currently sorting his rehab for his latest one.. The reality is no UK Speedway club, alone, "nurtures talent" given the amount of different teams that riders ride for... The Aces, like many others, have taken a fair few young Championship HL's and SS's and given them a chance in the top league, but that is hardly a development "conveyer belt"....

Very much a home track rider.... Away? Not so good... Is he carrying an injury?...

An interesting answer from the BSP to a question asked by the Speedway Star as to why we now have riders absent on Thursdays when it was a UK priority night... It has been mentioned in here quite a few times, so I thought I would share the "official line".. Included within the answer is this... "Ahead of the 2025 season, a new TV deal in Poland saw selected fixtures from Metalkas 2 Extraliga (the second division) switched to Thursday evenings, usually one meeting per round. Faced with a scenario whereby rider availability for those competing in Poland may well have been further restricted, agreement was reached for the concession of priority to Poland for these televised Thursday fixtures". Now, my simplistic view would be that saying " No" to losing priority would have guaranteed no clashes, whilst saying "Yes" to losing priority pretty much guarantees clashes.. However, I presume some "leverage" was involved from those holding all the Speedway cards?... Another excellent production this week...

Away from Brum, in 2024, Tom ran a 6.58 average... And that was in a season that included two "weaker teams" in Oxford and KL... Last season there were two "weak teams" in Oxford and Birmingham that he rode against, and did so from the more protected No3 position... Meaning his average made him a No1 this season, but reality, when up against those who are also No1's, said he isn't a No1 really.. Coming off a serious injury, and becoming a No1, was always going to be a big challenge for a rider who naturally, currently, isn't at that level..

Tom B is probably the bottom No1 in the league... A league of just six number ones... Meaning he rides against his opposite number three times per night, if he takes Ht15... Out of those six Number Ones, three are World Class GP riders, and one is a Polish top tier HL... And then you have No5's like Bewley, Doyle, Kvech, and Pickering with C Holder at a three.. Both Brennan, and also Lidsey, made great progression riding at No3 with two World Class HL's at one and five in their teams.. With just five teams to race, and three of them having top level GP riders at No1, being a non top level GP rider, and riding against them several times a night, can be both an average and a confidence killer.. And Ryan Douglas as the other No1 in the league is a very solid rider... With so few teams you won't be getting too many "easy" rides to increase your confidence should you need to... And not riding in Poland regularly won't help... Can a Championship side fit him in?...

He can simply miss some matches over here... Several riders have signed contracts with clubs who know their riders will be unavailable for Wednesdays and Saturdays... And even Thursdays in the Premiership...
