It is slick so plenty of spinning up... Phil will soak it so it goes to gate and go...

Here comes Bartek up the inside.... Who knew? A distinct lack of Monsters of Rock 1992 Iron Maiden T shirts in the pits...

Great ride from Holder... The planets not aligning for Kurtz this season..

Let's hope he gets gating tips off him too..

Doyley gets a warning...

Could hardly see Bartek...

Are they deliberately taking the Gerd Riss with this coverage?

FY Czechian National Anthem.. We are going to adverts...

Only one out....

Three genuine future possible "international level" riders... How far they go? Hard to say, but certainly are mixing it with Polish top tier and second tier riders, which can only be a good barometer for them.. Let's hope they are allowed to develop on their own terms and not get any ridiculous expectations for them heaping unrequired pressure...

First Pep Guardiola.... Now this... A nation mourns...

And EVERY £25 counts!!!!

But.... It is an amateur sport, at least off track... The promoters are not in the entertainment business, they are not marketeers, and definitely not in it "for the money".... They do their best given their limited capabilities to just "provide some Speedway".... Getting "professionals" in costs money, which means it won't happen.. People have too high an expectation of what the majority of promoters can deliver... You only have to see how they run the sport to know they don't have the required skill set to deliver what some fans see as "basic".... They do their best, and put their money in, and without them there wouldn't be any start time to moan about....

Mystic BM.....

And, short term, could possibly be cost neutral...? Another 1000 at £25 could possibly cover his wages for two meetings, home and away?.. He won't be on wages in Sweden anything like he is in Poland, so £25k for two matches must be there, or thereabouts... He would certainly generate some local interest, media wise.... Start at the top, and work down... Artem next after BZ... (As long as he doesn't have food poisoning)..

It will be a retun flight... He will be back before you know it. .

Play Off Bob will be needed in Poland's play offs I would imagine... I don't think he would get permission to come over as we hit September...

Nicolai The Fourth?

He must hate a few.....

That's the forum halved....

Puts pressure on the WC's for next year too... Presume both will get a WC so the "regulars" won't want to have a poor season..

All six combine their riders now, so why not?...

Plus he is a crowd puller away from home, which won't help attendances... Certainly has shown more "edge" to his racing this season, so, bloody typical such a thing happens when he is riding in the best form of his career... Who Wroclaw replace him with is going to be some question to answer. Can their top four take his rides?. If so Kurtz, Laguta, Janowski and Kowalski probably covers at home, but not sure away... I presume the Aces will use "horses for courses" guests?. They should have plenty to choose from.. Best Wishes to Dan, and hopefully back before the season end..

The shape of the tracks determine whether "putting dirt down" works or not... The more circular ones benefit from it, the more "oval" ones ride easier when slick and smooth, especially given the way riders go in to the bends already virtually full on sideways, and full gas, these days...

Put them all on ignore... And hope no one quotes any of them!!! When he comes back with another name, within one post, it is always very obvious who it is...
