Is it me or did Artem receive boos at the introduction?

Utter nonsense. Artem is top of the Polish league averages.

The PZM should set-up their own GP series, consisting of the top 16 riders in the Polish Ekstraliga averages.

What are the chances of Emil & Artem being given a spot in the SEC?

What have politics got to do with Emil and Artem?

Artem will have a point to prove tonight Time to show the world class GP riders the quickest way around Lublin.

Anyone who buys a ticket for a GP is not a fan of speedway. They are a fan of politics. Emil and Artem are being politically persecuted. The same thing happened to Nelson Mandela. I thought we had moved past the idea of judging somebody on their ethnicity.

Madsen has a higher Polish ekstraliga average than Zmarzlik.

Not Madsen I spoke to him last night and he is out.

It's in Polish though.

Kai Huckenbeck Jan Kvech Mikkel Michelsen Jason Doyle Those are your 4 wild cards. Official announcement is tomorrow. The FIM wanted to nominate Emil and Artem, but this was blocked by the PZM. Emil and Artem would have to ride under the Polish flag as FIM rules do not allow neutral athletes. Speedway fans need to boycott the GP series. I would love to see the GP section of this forum closed down. That would send a strong message to the FIM.

Not really. The FIM didn't ban Hancock.

I wouldn't bother with the GP series. Go to a Polish league match between Lublin and Wroclaw. That is the only way of finding out who the best rider in the world is.

Imminent I am told Emil and Artem received a phone call today.

Have faith, I am told Eurosport are putting serious pressure on the FIM. Eurosport are expecting Artem and Emil.

So when can we expect the announcement? Social media is not going to react well if Emil and Artem are excluded.

Cowardice from the Polish authorities. A wet track would have levelled the playing field up. It is sad to see how much influence Lublin has in Poland!

Emil and Artem are both Polish citizens. They pay their taxes in Poland and are allowed to vote in the Polish Presidential Election.

If the Russians are ignored, there will be an almighty backlash.

Qualifiers where the 2 best non-GP riders were barred from. If you consider that the "best", good luck to you.

With Fricke and Kurtz, we don't need an Aussie wild card. We need 2 Polish riders as only Kubera qualified. We also need a Dane and Czech. Laguta Sayfudtdinov Madsen Kvech

Yes, Fricke has an easy last race.

Fricke has an easy last race. Looks like it is Thomsen, Kurtz, Kubera and Fricke. Doyle will struggle to get a wild card now. Laguta and Emil are nailed on as there are only 2 Polish riders in the GPs.

Grigory Laguta is another rider who should have been in the GP series. He was consistently one of the best riders in the Ekstraliga, but he kept getting overlooked for a wild card.

His name is Artem Grigoryevich Laguta
