Horrible feeling in my stomach when Chivsy told me about our old mate Nobby. But it was soon replaced with a warm feeling... memories of some great one-liners and put-downs, a wry smile, and the knowledge that he's now out of pain. Nobby, I salute you... You were an extraordinary, devoted, hard-working gentleman and it was my pleasure to have met you and known you. Rest in peace son, rest in peace

Some would say if a young rider is serious about a career, he has to invest, he has to work to get sponsors, he has to accept that free holidays must be earned. Try and get up the ladder, or just play around at the bottom... Not me obviously

Everything does round there When it's proper hot, they start very late, 9 or 9:30 so yeah they'll just keep running til whenever...they love it !

Dodgy would describe the surrounding area quite well....but the track is amazing ! Yeah it'll need a bit of work, but nothing major. And the Argentine fans are just brilliant November's a good time to go as well, perfect weather.

It's fair to say it's a breath-taking track They could have 8 riders in a race easily

Lee Richardson's own words...Leszno is normally cool, but today it was the worst track I have ever ridden !

May the 1st then, interesting...

Gutted for you both, well, for everyone ! Be proud of what you did. Good luck for the future, and thank you

Ah, finally you start to see the real problems ! You might have these people on to you very soon

Now you are being silly ....Gdańsk maybe

It's bad news for the sport that Poland are sticking with old silencers. Simple as that.

Awful news and a great shame to lose a racer. My heart goes out to his family, friends and fellow riders who will all feel the shock Vila i frid, Peter

Don't worry about it Malc, these things happen. I'm more interested in how you do your eggs

I'll answer a couple of them Phil, as I've been to L'viv and it's very close to Chervonograd, and also very close to the Polish border. The best airport would be Rzeszów in Poland (Ryanair from Stansted ?), head East on the E40 into Ukraine and then turn left ! About 2 and a half hours (discounting any hold-up at the border)

I've no idea how likely it is. But there IS the possibility that the FIM will insist that all riders use the new silencers in every competition. While the PZM-riders may choose to break that rule (and face suspension from anything outside of Polish League racing), there is no way non-PZM riders will do it, because it would ruin everything else for them.
