Polish and other match video`s 2019
James Carter replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
Grudziadz v Leszno Best match of 2019 so far (that I have seen) Put top riders on well prepared tracks and this is what you get. Every rider deserves credit for that. Breathtaking stuff. -
Slovenian GP 01/06

Not a great SGP but BZ did prove that the track was more than raceable. I don't understand the beefing about the series riders need refreshing in terms of riders 1-15. The SGP challenge gives everyone half decent a crack at getting their. What new names deserve to be in to refresh the series? I would be interested to see who you would drop out of the series. -

I think the lack of practice / qualifying will impact Woffinden tonight. Wasn't getting out of the gate very well last night in Wroclaw and with unfavorable grids today could be tough night. I think for some riders qualifying will prove to be very important. Dudek who is probably best gater in world has got 2 x grid 2s with the wildcard and Lambert inside him. So in effect he's more or less got 3 grid ones. Probably make the same case for Laguta who again relies on his gate so qualifying for him I expect is a big deal -

Any thoughts on what makes it such a crud track? Just watching some old stuff on YouTube and it seems that any attempts to ride a wide line are misguided. What a waste of effort to bring the 15 best riders in the world together to race on a track that is likely to be horse s*** -
I think potentially ZG could beat them at home but only by a couple. I thought they used their tactical subs poorly leaving Protisewicz isolated twice. Also Leszno track is a bit too wide for Nicki's trademark back straight drift to be fully effective. Even though the Leszno team is super strong their is a lot to admire how well they ride together as a pair. Even when they miss the gate the riders tend to sort it out in the first bend and storm through. Must be amazing for young Brady Kurtz to be a part of

A bit of buffering at the end but well watchable (even the bad camera angles!!) -

Probably the only positive Czestochowa can take from that gubbing -

Incredible stuff. He lines up that move a lap earlier as well. Just incredible Unfortunately Emil seems to struggle in SGP. Don't think he is particularly suited to smaller tracks. Even when he has a good meeting he invariably starts slowly and bows out at the semi final. -
Does anyone know why BT Sport still haven't got the Warsaw SGP on catch up?

I get that - but its one match a year. SGP your getting so much more. Also, watch some of those old matches on Youtube. The racing was pretty dreadful I don't mind it adds to the drama on the night. The progressive scores keep ticking over though so Dudek leads the 2019 championship which seems fair to me

I doubt most people prefer the old system. I would like to see the SGP final be scored 6-4-2-1 so a bit more reward.
