Ok, so having been home for 90 mins.. thoughts. Two most entertaining riders of the night were Ļebedevs & Becker. Best solitary ride was Madsen, over coming the Aussies. Best race, Becker v Cook. Iversen looked unbeatable until the Madsen fall, did he change bike, setup or mindset? Imposed by Neilsen? Lambert looked the quickest Brit, stupid mistake he needs to learn from, thankfully the Aussies weren't able to trouble Woffinden who until then had not looked fast or at his best.

What happened, not showing replays in the stadium.

Pawlicki did very well to make sure his bike didn't hit Buczkowski

Any streams available & working?

Adam Ellis and Nathan Stoneman replace Kyle Newman and Tobias Thomsen.‬

The crowd was probably affected by a Champions League Semi Final. We'd have come tonight but for that. As for the result, massive ouch for the Brummies. They need to be competitive without breaking the bank.

Sadly the Gdansk track is not favourable to exciting racing.

I am aware the central area of Warsaw is known as Śródmieście , I take it is the same in Gdańsk and the other teams are named after areas of Gdańsk? Will in be Hancock's first competitive race of 2019?

Why on Earth did Gdańsk use Cyfer rather than Gomolski against Walasek & Gapinski?

It is an odd time to run a meeting, Tuesday at 16:40. Is it a Polish bank holiday?

Couldn't Bydgoszcz or Opole or any other Liga 2. Żużlowa enter?

Thanks. I guess any Brits entering will have to be in the Hungarian or Ukraine hosted qualifiers, because I'm sure there will be no lack of Poles. Is it even recognised by the BSPA?

How silly! Why let Lokomotiv enter if that is the case.

I'm guessing 2 of those listed will be reserves, so 7 Danes, 9 from other countries. I assume Aussie's & America's are not allowed to enter if it's Euro U21. Is this as well as the World U21?

Not sure how I missed the 3 Aussies when looking through the squad lists on Svemo. But I doubt any team is affected quite like Rospiggarna.

To my mind, economically it makes sense to have the TV match on a Thursday so all the Tuesday matches will not suffer crowd wise from people staying at home to watch it on TV. It also vastly increases the potential viewing figures TV. I wonder if the TV schedulers realise that the odd rider might be missing due to British commitments. The team most likely to suffer if riding on a Thursday is Rospiggarna as they have Robert Lambert, Jason Doyle, Erik Riss & Max Fricke. Other than Bjerre at Kumla I do wonder how often the other riders competing in both leagues will be selected by their Swedish team anyway. Other riders being: Krystian Pieszezk - Kumla Nikolai Klindt, Rohan Tungate - Lejonen Nick Morris, David Bellego - Masarna Troy Batchelor - Vetlanda

Yeah, the results I posted were at heat 20. Never realised there were semi's & final. Harris 2 points from his first ride Girican.

Smektala, Bellego, Kudriaszow & Musielak qualify from Poznan. Ellis scored 3, Hans Andersen 6 & Covatti 7. Big surprise is Anders Thomas missed out by a point.

Unsurprisingly the Poles are looking dominant in Poznan, Kudriaszow aside. Ellis 1 point from 4 rides.

Poland is great, but... The Golden Helmet farve was almost as embarrassing as the opening of the NSS.

I take it KB was a TS in heat 14? Bjerre did well to hold off ZG's 40+ers.

Commentators curse on Laguta, thought he and Buczkowski could win it for Grudziądz, then they convincingly 5-1ed! 0

Pawlicki did Lindback no favours ion heat 11. How fast is Laguta, made Vaculik look like he was going backwards.

Laguta showing no ill effects, same cant be said for his heat 4 partner.

Sadly it didn't last long. What time does the ZG meeting start and is it on the same.stream?
