I mean the pre-season ones, not the final ones For example, what CMA will Woryna, Szczepaniak or Vaculik have?

When will BPSA release the averages for 2018 season?

After 31-st January

Yeah, given Crump, Richardson and Okoniewski struggle with injuries it might get really hot in Rzeszow. Tarnow is also bruised - Bjarne Pedersen and the two U-21-s Kostro and Jamrog. The difference is, Rzeszow leaders will rider and none of the three injured Tarnow riders will.

Yes Vicar, take a look at the first page of the topic and everything is described in details.

They are just looking for out-of-track ways of taking out each other... Nothing unusual in Polish sport (not only speedway)

Thanks June, I guess results from aktuellspeedway.se are not that reliable.

Is there a place on SVEMO where I can confirm official results? The link that Ghostwalker shows has Nicki Pedersen with 6 points but Polish websites (that claim to have results from svemo.se) show Nicki with 9 points. Is there any place on svemo where I can find the results? I cannot see any section under speedway.

Why isn't Kenneth Bjerre riding in Lejonen?

I am pretty sure that Mroczka will ride this Sunday. He did pretty well in Tarnow and scored on a better level than Andersen did in Rzeszow. Besides, Hans is injured AFAIK and needs some time to recover.

Hahahaha, Mateusz. Did you suffer a big hangover after Bydgoszcz victory in Gniezno? Looks like you guys redempted yourselves after a surprising loss in Rybnik.

Interesting to see heat 6. Balinski tried rolling start and the referee stopped the race while Gollob was leading. After the race had stopped Gollob shouted to Balinski "Damian, why the f**k do you do rolling starts" which was nicely caught by Canal + camera. It looks like the king is angry and the subjects are to follow. Balinski had no permission to do that. Not unusual "culture" for Mr Gollob.

First GP is done. I was hoping to see Aussies beating Gollob but unfortunately it is Aussies who got beaten big time. Especially Jason Crump who got completely lost after his first two riders. Holder is a bit unlucky - this is the second time when he scores 9 points in the main event and does not get to the semi finals. Something similar happened to him last year but not sure where. As for the other riders... Gollob was undoubtedly man of the night but seemed to be overconfident in the final heat. That was enough for Nicki who rode like at his best times. Obviously crash in heat no 6 was only Gollob's fault and the refree's decision was correct not to exclude Nicki. Kolodziej and Hampel rode well too and so did Hancock and Lindgren. The track was much better than at the meeting against Rzeszow but not much was happening. I wish you could understand Polish Canal + commentators. They spent most of the time whinging about silencers and... Nicki Pedersen. How could he dare to resist Gollob!!!

You are correct ladyluck - once he is Polish citizen he will be allowed to ride as a U-21.

Ladyluck, I actually know all Rempala family in person and have seen them numerous times in action. They are all kind of weird except for Tomasz Rempala who is a really nice, talkative guy. I guess it is in the family. And they all have weird riding style...

Judging from the look of the line-up Nicki should win and lose no point. Obviously in theory, if he was in his usual form. The meeting will be a big test for Skornicki who has not ridden much this season (since Leszno coaches prefer to bet on Batchelor and Pavlic). Victor Palovaara - what can you tell me about this rider. I have seen this name since last season for quite a few times.

Hehhh, ladyluck, what's the story with J.R. and his "holiness"?

Has anything changed with info on averages from SVEMO? I have the "handle" list but is there anything they have officially released to for example www.speedway.nu?

Dryml brothers, Topinka, Kus, Lubos Tomicek... they still look strong to me. Does anyone know if Vaculik could ride for Czechs? I think he used to hold their license.

Leszno overdid it a little (I had a chance to watch the meeting through the internet) although I have seen harder tracks than that one. It is quite typical for Polish clubs to prepare their track in order to eliminate the opponents. They do it at any cost - even health or life. Tarnow did the same just a bit differently by preparing something where passing was simply impossible.

I've never seen sprintcars racing live but I have had a chance to see them on TV. Looks really fast and fight is really good. Unlike midgets for example. I think they still run them at Parramatta, don't they.

We've heard it before and... there came nothing. I'm afraid it is more GP directors trying to move speedway outside Europe than Auckland being really interested in it.

It looks like Polish first round was full of surprises. Gorzow beaten by Rzeszow despite Richardson's absence. Gollob was slow and looked more like testing his bikes. Nicki started well but heat by heat he was also slower. Iversen looked good. Great performance from Crump and Harris. Andersen... who is Andersen? Among other surprises there is easy victory from Wroclaw over Tarnow. In 1-st leage Gdansk did not manage to beat Gniezno and in the second league Krakow won their first meeting on the road since they reactivated speedway in 2010.

Not only that. They also have much less power in the U-21 squad as both Musielak brothers are no match for Jurica Pavlic by himself. BTW last moment transfer in Rzeszow. Matej Ferjan on lease from Gdansk and will ride against Gorzow.

Where can I obtain a list of current averages for Swedish Elitserien?
