  1. Shows the strength in depth of Wroclaw though doesnt it? Polish Speedway on a Sunday...
  2. Even more so when his best mate hit a fence in a similar position and ended up in a wheelchair.. Being block passed is one thing as you get ridden up the track being able to see the front wheel of the rider doing it.. Being speared is another..
  3. Good meeting... Fricke must pick his game up and quick.. 15 max for Kolodziej... Almost as fast as Bartek....!!
  4. Should be a straight red for Smektala... Holder very fortunate to not be very seriously hurt...
  5. Kolodziej again... From the back again... Great entertainment, and on a max..
  6. Good meeting this.. Grudziadz one of the more technical tracks and always offers up decent racing.. Surprising Nicki can handle it..
  7. 15 heat winners... Fourteen 3-3's... And a 4-2 in Ht 15....
  8. Reminds me of Wieslaw Jagus... On the world stage never quite reaching the heights his talent warranted.. But in the highest level of league racing, always one of the best...
  9. If he was a spectator he would be one of the youngest there...
  10. Spoiler Alert! It doesnt really matter who wins any UK Speedway League given the lack of financial return, publicity and kudos.. The Promoters themselves must realise this as they make it blatantly obvious just by looking at their ludicrous operating model.... Therefore 100%, and quite correctly, they will make the right decision for their clubs financially.. Hence over the years, for example, the No1 (world class), riders have often missed away meetings when riding elsewhere on the same night/next night, but have seldom missed home meetings.. Another example of why it shouldn't be teated seriously is the way you are allowed to bring in a better rider as a guest at home to replace your missing inferior one... But have to run with a "lesser rider" away.. (The caveat being you may be able to bring in a track specialist ringer on a lower average).. Winning it hone, plus seeing out a season and being in a position to come to the tapes the following year are pretty much the two key objectives... Most fans go to watch the racing and plenty of clubs have enough "die hards" to cobble together some tenuous team event each week.. Whilst that exists, fair play to the promoters to look after their own business as they see fit.. No point winning a competition that brings in such miniiscule tangible reward, and then closing down because it cost you too much to do it.. The racing at the NSS will be no doubt excellent tomorrow, so that is what should hopefully bring the crowd in..
  11. He is a available... Might even get a whole lap in before leaving... #technicaltrack...
  12. They possibly think.. "Wow, he has achieved a lot in his career hasn't he? Much more than me, might have a word with him to see if he can get me a team place in Poland"...
  13. 100% agree, but.. The tipping point has well passed.. A rudderless ship for decades, ran by collectively making things up on the spur of the moment, with zero clear direction of travel and standards governance, has driven thousands away who still passionately follow the sport via other various media, but dont attend their local tracks regularly.. Which is a shame given the on track entertainment which is as good as in, if not better, any era I have watched.. If all the surrounding negative issues matched the actual product, the sport would be flying, instead they undermine it appallingly..
  14. Another of those things that does the sport so few favours if it is ever to be taken seriously... Lost a good rider? No problem. Borrow any of ours whenever you need them.. With the Polish rule changes, there must be a fair few who would ride over here now, on Nicki P's terms too I would think given he wouldnt have been cheap. (Even at 'mates' rates).. RR only should be the option as that would mean the Promoters get a shift on in getting another rider in..
