  1. He last rode Extraliga 14 years ago as a young lad. Has admitted equipment has been a downfall over the years but invested heavily over the winter. It's paying off handsomely so far as he has been outstanding.
  2. I'm watching on a Firestick too. You must be on the wrong channel. Look for others. I have several .
  3. This is exactly the problem. I recently mentioned on my own club's Facebook page that I felt it would benefit matches in the UK if we adopted the Polish system of two from each team going out to test the track prior to each match. That way, the away riders especially wouldn't be going out cold, but could confer and get their setups right . The response from one of the directors was astonishing. He said "just because the mighty Poland do it, doesn't mean we should..."
  4. Where are you based? I've done it many times and if you PM me I will give you some ideas. One thing I can say with certainty- after you start, you won't want to stop!
  5. It's always amazed me that a town the size of Leszno, population 64,000 can pull in over 10,000 fans on a regular basis.
  6. You nailed it. Our mentality here that everything we do is best, and that no other country could possibly be better than us is so sadly out of date these days it's embarrassing. If I had the time and the money to be able to head over to Poland every weekend, I would go in a heartbeat. If you compare it to UK speedway, it's light years ahead in every single department.
  7. And if that happened, to enable them to keep Chugunov at no.8, he'd end up with very few rides too. He's much better, at this stage with him returning from that serious an injury, to stay with Rybnik. Let's also not forget that their help got him back on track much earlier than anticipated. A bit of a kick in the teeth to abandon them now.
  8. He'd be daft to go there at the moment. He needs all the time he can get on the bike and would likely end up as the no.8 which would not be to his advantage.
  9. Opole v Polonia Piła, Sunday 14th April, Polish division 2, round 3.
  10. First round of Italian championship, Saturday 13th April. Scary crash near the end!
  11. Just like last week in Leszno, where I thought he was head and shoulders above everyone in terms of skill, Woffy showed again tonight why he's the world's best rider. Absolutely sublime.
  12. I was at Rybnik past Saturday for the abandoned after 1 heat match. Woryna rode in the track testing session before the start of the match and looked very very quick.
  13. Enjoyable meeting and good to see the underdog win. Well done Lublin. Finished off a great day after being among a wonderful atmosphere at Leszno.
  14. Well, it wasn't to be. After Bachelor broke the track record in heat 1 I couldn't have imagined they'd then be forced to abandon the meeting. Unfortunately I have almost come to expect these situations, having seen it all too often in the UK. Łódź riders simply didn't want to race. Tungate and Andersen, as well as the young reserve who did the track test were adamant it wasn't safe. Today I'm off to Leszno. With great weather forecast, I'm confident we will see great action there ...
  15. I have my decoder set to record all matches this weekend, as I am heading off on Friday to Rybnik for their match on saturday, then on to Lesno v Wroclaw on Sunday. Bring it on!
  16. Take that back. He appears to have decided to race on regardless of what I read a couple of weeks back.
  17. He's not expected to be fit before July at the earliest.
